Are Professional Photographers ALWAYS Best? - 02/23/08 07:59 PM
Who knows the properties we are trying to sell and what clients are looking for better than Realtors?  I'm going to challenge conventional wisdom here and compare photos of different homes taken by a professional photographer and a Realtor.  Yes, the Realtor in this case is me, but it's not about my photography skills, it's about whether professional photographers always know best.
My contention is that while professional photographers have better equipment and are technically more astute, they haven't spent as much time on the property as we have.  We know the best angles and vantage points.  We know the selling features.  I believe what works … (25 comments)

Preparing a Moving Checklist - 02/12/08 11:20 PM
One of the services you can provide your clients is to provide them with a moving checklist that provides them with the phone numbers of the utilities that they need to shut off or transfer in their old home and the contact numbers for the utility companies they will be using in their new home (which depending upon where they are moving to, may require some research on your part).
I e-mail this list to my clients who have Internet access and I print it out and hand it to clients who don't use the Internet.  All my clients deeply appreciate it … (15 comments)

Creating an Area Profile for Your Market Area - 02/10/08 06:10 PM

Consider creating an Area Profile for buyers.  This is the branded version with my name and phone number, but I also have an unbranded version that agents in my office use when they want to provide information about the Black Rock market area to their buyers.
I created this document in Microsoft Publisher and have a link to the community blog which I sponsor (of course).  I leave copies of the Area Profile in my listings to make it easy for agents to explain the benefits of this community to buyers and for buyers to take home and read.  I also attach this profile to booklets of my listings which I … (27 comments)
