birmingham: DOING IT FOR YOURSELF vs THIRD PARTY REFERRALS - 08/14/06 12:21 PM
I know I have said this before but not on AR. I am amazed at how many Realtors don't understand the benefit of developing their own referral systems (see www.SEMichiganHomeInfo.com). I have heard MANY Realtors say that they get more for the dollar they spend on their own referral prospecting than they get by paying someone else to give them the lead. If you really think through the process this has to be the case. Just imagine for a second the difference between paying a couple of thousand dollar referral fee and setting up a system like RealPro.

I find it really interesting that Michigan's governor announced yesterday that she has brought 1,000 new jobs to Ann Arbor, Michigan with the announcement that Google is going to locate it's Ad Word division in Ann Arbor.

I have discussed this with numerous potential buyers who are getting daily updates sent via email directly from the MLS and each and everyone of them has indicated that they mostly ignore the listings that come through without photos. Stop for just one second and recall how hard it is for you to pick out homes to show a prospective buyer when there are no photos.

birmingham: First Remarks and Mortgages - 07/09/06 10:41 AM
This appears to be a great resourse for our business. Consider tal\king a look at the Associates I have link to my site. Of the 1,200,000 REALTORS only 200 have acheived the status of CyberStar and each of my associates has this status. They are some of the best REALTORS in the business.
On Another subject:
Is a 15 year Mortgage Right for you? A 15-Year Fixed Rate loan works well for borrowers who are nearing retirement and want to be debt-free at that point in time. Because payments in a 15-year scenario are amortized over half the length of a 30-Year Fixed … (1 comments)
