real estate: Mama said there would be days like these… - 04/30/12 04:11 PM
Mama said there would be days like these…I loved this song, and the lyrics ring very true, today. Sometimes you have good days. Sometimes you have bad days, and other times, you feel like a failure. But I have to remind myself that it’s just all part of the business that I’m in, the Real Estate business. This last weekend, was a tough one. My stress level rose and my patience suffered. But as any professional, you have to accept the good with the bad and most importantly, not lose your cool. Don’t let them see you sweat. Just put … (10 comments)

real estate: Direct Mail Marketing with Caruso - 03/29/12 05:10 PM
There are some real estate agents that swear by direct mail marketing and some agents that swear at it. As a homeowner, I get other agent’s mailers and marketing pieces periodically. I collect these marketing samples not because I am interested in buying or selling real estate, but because I am interested in their marketing messages. Most agents assume that the internet is the place to be and focus the majority of their marketing efforts on on-line marketing. As much as I do online marketing I feel direct mail can be just as effective if you have the right marketing message. Here are a … (0 comments)

Buying a home can be stressful. As a real estate agent, you get to see home buyers at their best — that is, the joy they feel when they step into their new home.

real estate: Still Guessing…Leaning Toward The Positive - 03/07/12 04:43 PM
The U.S. housing market will begin to mount a turnaround this year, building toward a solid recovery in 2013, according to a forecast by the chief economist of a homebuilding industry trade group. The outlook by National Association of Home Builders Chief Economist David Crowe all call for U.S. sales of new homes and single-family home construction to improve this year compared with 2011, when they hit record lows. The forecast still leaves new home sales and construction well below levels of a healthy housing market, however. That reflects the severity of the industry's downturn, and suggests the housing … (1 comments)
