As real estate agents, where would we be without the cellphone? It is hard for me to imagine what kind of agent I would be without it. So, I want to put out a reminder, because agents phone numbers are publicized everywhere, in fact agents are the ones publicizing them,  it is easy for telemarketers to get yours. 

Remember cell phones are not immune from telemarketers. This means you can receive many sales calls from telemarketers.   To top that, depending on your cell phone plan, you may be charged for these calls.  If you wish to prevent this, call the National  * Do Not Call Registry* at the following number.

1-888-382-1222

For just a few minutes of your time, you can save time, money, and frustration. Reportedly, this system blocks your number for five (5) years. And remember, you must call from the cell phone number you want to have blocked.

CJ Walton Receives New Certified Negotiation Expert Designation

Real estate negotiation skills a must for all home buyers/sellers, especially in current market

CJ Walton has been awarded the Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) designation, achieved by real estate professionals who have successfully completed formal training in the art of negotiation.  Agents who receive this certification are in the top 1% of all agents nationally.

With professional negotiation skills, agents will typically obtain better results for their clients. CNE agents have a powerful competitive edge because of their ability to uncover information effectively, get more and give less during sales/purchase negotiations, and retain control over desired outcomes.  Bottom line, CNE agents know how to influence and persuade others more effectively than agents without professional negotiation training.  

The certification training is provided by Negotiation Expertise, LLC, a national negotiation training and coaching company based in Peoria, AZ.  Tom Hayman, the President and owner, is a professional negotiator with 35+ year's experience, including 25 years with Procter and Gamble, a Fortune 50 company.  Hayman asserts "Any Buyer or Seller who hires a CNE agent can feel confident that they have the best trained agent in the business.  They will get superior results and have better resolution of any issues when hiring a CNE agent."

"Some areas are hit harder than others in the mortgage meltdown", Cj Walton says," So I am glad to offer my clients in Richmond and Oakland a definitive advantage in a market that will eat most sellers alive.  This training is helping me live up to my motto--Your friend, in an unfriendly market.'
