client care: Well, what can I say... We've Been Busy... Those Darn Blog Leads. - 05/24/08 09:50 PM
Has anyone noticed how much easier it is to spend time on AR before the listing deluge begins this time of year? Well, we certainly have.
It's one of those 2-places-at-once kinda things. One of those things we'd like to master, but haven't done so yet.
One thing we've noticed so far this year is we're either getting better at getting more realistic pricing, or our sellers are better at listening. Think the jury is still out on this one.

client care: The Listing Presentation - The Difference between talking about ME and listening to YOU! - 07/23/07 06:15 PM
The Agent-Centric Model of Doing Business:How many times have we seen this one? An agent shows up for a listing presentation... and all they do is talk about themselves for two solid hours.

The whole boastful barrage could be summed up in 8 short words: “List with me because I’m the best.”What nonsense. We call this the Agent-Centric model of doing real estate business.
