seattle realtor: House Values.com Needs To Leave Me Alone - 03/17/08 06:03 AM
The phone call comes in like clockwork. John from HouseValues has leads! Leads leads leads. Accurate e mail addresses and phone numbers of people who filled out a form! Of course he does.
I'm sorry. It's not that easy, is it. Whether the market is up or down, real estate representation is entirely about relationships, networking and total management of a sphere. Filling out an online questionaire and reselling it as a neighborhood lead for $600.00 a month is not financially sound business to go after.

seattle realtor: It Expired! Quick, Call His Client! - 10/22/07 11:41 AM

We are hearing so much negativity about sellers not being able to keep all of their 160k-200k profit from the last two years. They actually have to negotiate with buyers, lately! Mon Dieu! Most will shed a tear, we feel your pain. Well, Not. You see, greed is not good. And it can contribute to the short-term destruction of a marketplace. But I digress.

seattle realtor: An Agent Going Green - 05/03/07 12:04 AM
It's been on my mind for some time now. How does any one person do his or her part for the environment above and beyond what I hope many already do? Recycling? check. Turning off appliances and lights? check. Making sure I only print what I need and absolutely use for my marketing? check. Making sure the car runs well? check. These are the easy things, not so very sexy.
Well, I am attempting two new initiatives. First, I am looking for the appropriate cloth bags to take to the grocery store, for carryout. I am simply done with the store bags. Second, … (3 comments)
