phoenix: Distractions - 08/03/09 10:39 AM
Trying to balance real estate with family and civic obligations can be a challenge at best. Do you delve into a project, running comps, updating records, or contacting clients and someone wants to ask a question or the phone rings or other things distract you from the task at hand and

phoenix: Dog Eat Dog - 10/18/07 05:44 PM
I recently blogged about leaving a business card after viewing a home and getting feedback when I contact other agents, see: http://activerain.com/blogsview/237463/Do-you. One comment bothered me so I thought I would throw it out to see what my fellow Rainers thought. One comment said, no response is a response. So what

phoenix: Do you..... - 10/14/07 11:25 PM
When you preview a home with clients do you leave a business card? If not, why? Is the current trend away from this practice or am I missing something. I like to follow up with those that have viewed my properties to get some genuine feedback on what they liked, didn't

phoenix: What Sets You Apart? - 09/22/07 10:13 AM
What sets you apart from every other Realtor in your town? Take time to think about how you are different? What makes people want to list or buy through you? Do you shine above all the others because of your positive "can do" attitude, commitment, ethics, skills, communications or programs? Are

phoenix: Who Does the Graphic Say??? - 09/14/07 10:08 AM
We all get to the bottom of the post and there it is, "What does the graphic say?" Sometimes a real word comes up and sometimes it looks like jibberish. I chuckle at some of the graphics that we must write down for the post to go through. As a real

phoenix: It's Not Personal - 09/06/07 11:51 AM
If you get a listing and it is a buyers market I believe it is critical that the lister help the seller "stage" their home. As we know staging is the process of evaluating the inside AND outside of the home with a very critical eye and the "preparing" it to show prospective buyers. I

phoenix: It's a Mystery - 09/01/07 08:27 AM
This is my rant for the week, no wait, maybe for the day. Why is it when a Realtor obtains a listing that they fail to get complete information to put on the MLS? I pull up a listing in a desired area and there is an HOA mentioned but no

phoenix: Not Only Home Owners - 08/28/07 08:47 PM
I can see that not only home owners in HOA's have apathy, but most real estate agents as well. It is so much easier to take an easy path of least resistance and insure the sale goes through and not worry about tomorrow. But how many more referrals could be gained

phoenix: Home Owner Apathy and the HOA - 08/27/07 11:43 AM
Why do so many home owners gripe and complain about their Home Owner Associations? When the purchase of a home is made in a HOA community, the buyer receives the Bylaws and CCR's and signs off that they have received them. How many take the time to read them and understand

phoenix: Actions Speak Louder Than Words - 08/24/07 12:50 PM
Realtors and real estate agents have an image problem with honesty and ethics issues when it comes to the public's perception. In the latest Gallup poll conducted in November 2005, a randomly selected sample of 1,002 adults rated the honesty and ethical standards of 21 types of professionals. Real estate agents
