rookie: "Top 1% Realtors" or "Top 10,000 Realtors" Which sounds better? - 03/02/07 05:08 PM

I just wanted to make a little fun of the agents that have "Top 1%" or "Million Dollar Producer" on their cards.
I love these "awards" or titles. I get a kick out of them.
Lets start with the "Million Dollar Producer." A friend of mine saw this on somebody's card and was like "wow," they actually thought that it meant something impressive. They thought the agent was a millionaire! I pointed out that all it meant was that he sold $1,000,000 worth of property in 12 months. So in the DC area, if they sold two condos, one condo for … (11 comments)

rookie: Buyer Agent Photo Albums. Otherwise they forget! - 02/12/07 10:47 PM

Are you a buyer's agent that shows clients homes?
Are your clients' brains fried after looking at 10 homes?
Well, take your digital camera (get the Kodak v570 wide angle camera for under $200) and set your camera to the LOWEST resolution. When you are in the place start firing away like a mad man.

Some of you might not mind this, but after showing 10-20 homes, I suddenly get a flurry of calls. "What did you think about the place." Sometimes 20 calls because the agent will try a couple of times to reach me.
First of all, I have no memory. So they try to explain that there house was the one on the corner near the lilac bushes. As I noticed the bushes.

rookie: New Agent? Discount Your 1st deal. - 01/21/07 11:36 PM

I could write a longer post about this, hell I could write a book about it (I even mentioned my Rookie book on the Discovery Channel YouTube.FranklyRealty.com show that I was on), but you newbies should consider something...
Discount your first deal!
Hell I don't care if you work your tail off and you get NOTHING, zilch zip. What you get it a track record. You get something under your belt. And guess what? Doing your first deal for free is FAR less stressful than doing your first deal for a "full" commission.
I know that some of you might say that … (2 comments)
