dru bloomfield: Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge - Linking Arizona and Nevada - 11/19/07 07:22 AM
Highway 93, the road to Vegas, is heavily traveled and has been undergoing lots of renovation and upgrading it to make it safer. Many sections are now 4 lanes, and it's a smooth traveling road for the most part. Based on its history of fatal accidents, this is a welcome relief!
I drove to Vegas for the National Association of Realtors conference this week, and made the trip from Scottsdale to Vegas in about 5-5 1/2 hours. On the way back, I had some extra time, so I decided to stop and take a look at the new bypass bridge that's being … (5 comments)

dru bloomfield: I Have a Home Buyer! Do You Have Scottsdale Home to Sell? - 11/08/07 07:22 AM
I just wrote the wildest letter that I am mailing out to 44 home owners in the Scottsdale Country Club East community. Not wild for the content, but amazing to be writing it at this particular time in history, where headlines are more focused on what's wrong with real estate, rather than what's right. Having scoured the typical means of finding a home for my clients, I've now resorted to mailing the following letter in hand-addressed envelopes. I hope my phone to rings, at least a couple times. My clients are patient people, but they have been looking for a while. It's time to … (5 comments)

dru bloomfield: Sellers Getting Great Publicity - Thank you, Internet! - 11/01/07 08:47 AM
I'm an Internet marketer... that's how I advertise and sell homes. I still do a bit of traditional advertising, but since 80% of the buyers are looking on-line, I spend well over 80% of my time and resources advertising my listings on the Internet.
Suddenly, I have been getting great press coverage, and both reporters found me on the Internet.
The first newscast focused more on the general market, and the second interview just released really focuses on some of the ways that tech-savvy real estate agents market homes. The local paper published an article, Valley Realtor says Internet is key to home sales, where I've had … (3 comments)

dru bloomfield: Scottsdale Schools - Special Education Resources - 10/23/07 05:57 PM
I have a son with special needs, who's been "almost 16" for 11 months! He's been in the Scottsdale Unified School District since he was 3, which makes me somewhat of an expert in the services and resources available to children in need of Special Education living in and moving to the Scottsdale area. As a founding member of the original SEPAC (Special Education Parents Advisory Council), I've been involved with communicating with and supporting other parents in their quest for special education information and services for over ten years.
Our group was re-invented three years ago, and we have become a resource to more than the parents … (1 comments)

I was reading the Diva Marketing Blog last night and found a couple excellent, excellent posts.
Toby Bloomberg has a much more traditional business consulting background that I've seen in many of the blogs I've read so far. Her business philosophies provide an excellent structure to consider when building your blog.
In The Diva Marketing Blog Approach To Blog Strategy, the typical reasons that people blog, including building relationships and enhancing search engine placement are included. The Diva outlines an excellent strategy for defining your audience, your voice, your objectives, and your results.

dru bloomfield: YouTube Listing Video Gets TV Coverage in Phoenix - 10/22/07 09:56 AM
Yesterday, I received a call from a reporter at the local CBS station, asking if I'd be willing to talk on camera about how I was marketing homes on YouTube. She'd found one of my listings (one that had actually already sold), and wanted to do a report for the evening news on innovative real estate marketing techniques.
I told her I had other listings (and one in particular) that I could showcase very easily. My clients were motivated, and I've been marketing the home both traditionally and all over the Internet. They had decluttered, super-cleaned, and staged their home, and the photos, slide … (20 comments)

dru bloomfield: What's the Phoenix Economy look like today? - 10/20/07 10:48 AM
Elliott D. Pollack and Company provides some of the most extensive and easily understandable economic data for Arizona and the Phoenix metropolitan area. Some day, I'd like to hear the dialog that accompanies their comprehensive PowerPoint presentations. I just reviewed the latest CEO/CFO presentation posted on their web site, and find that it's a message of subdued (long-term) optimism. I strongly encourage you to go to the original presentation and go through the charts. The PowerPoint reports read very quickly and paint a comprehensive picture of where we stand as a state and as a metropolitan area.
From a U.S. perspective, job growth, business spending, and low interest … (0 comments)

dru bloomfield: September Market Report - Central Scottsdale - 10/10/07 10:39 AM
Prices in the Central Scottsdale area (Indian Bend Road north to Shea), have been interesting to watch over the past year. While the number of homes sold has dropped off significantly in the recent months, part of that change is due to the cyclical nature of sales in the area. Prices in central Scottsdale have remained strong, and at this point, do not give any indication of dropping off. At the same time, when pricing a home for re-sale, it's important to look at more specifically at the surrounding neighborhoods to determine the trends for your particular area, as well as to gauge … (0 comments)

Please welcome Gerry Dombek with John Hall & Associates to Active Rain.
I met Gerry in early 2004 right after we joined our current brokerage. What most impressed me about Gerry was her professionalism, determination, and ability to get things done. She also has the foresight to see both problems and opportunities coming her way.
When we met, Gerry mentioned that she'd left her previous broker because she was unhappy with the level of attention given to clients. Gerry has made it a priority to serve her clients and serve them well.
She's an outdoor person and hikes the Phoenix Mountain Preserve regularly with her … (19 comments)

dru bloomfield: Getting Ready for Winter - Scottsdale, Arizona Style! - 10/04/07 12:44 PM
I was reading Barbara Mulcahy's Monthly Home Maintenance Tips, and realized I was grinning. I guess it comes from too many 110 degree days this past summer and feeling a little giddy. Sometimes the emotions of autumn in Arizona are akin to those felt in the spring when living in a cold climate. Rebirth!
Here's how we are getting ready for winter, now that temperatures have finally dipped under 100 degrees.
Wipe down patio furniture and start using it now that it's cool enough to venture outside. Clean BBQ and fire it up for regular outdoor grilling.Find bike, roller blades, skateboard,.... Clean up and start using … (2 comments)
