ginger of southport: I have taken a Break - 06/09/11 03:08 PM
June 9, 2011
Well, the other day I was trying to figure out why I had so much time on my hands and realized that I have not been on Active Rain for a while. I do not know that I have much to share, but wanted to get back into the swing of thing.
Business is really picking up and I am doing right much volume right now.
Hope that it is good for you too.
Take care,
Ginger Harper of Southport, North Carolina

ginger of southport: Going Broke on Open Houses? - 03/09/11 09:47 PM
Today, I went to two Open house and walked away with $100. It was great fun and I loved seeing the inside of these two lovely homes. Just think...they paid me to come and see them.
Are you doing that? I wish I knew the best way to do an open house. Sometimes I spend up to $400 for food and then the give aways. It can cost up to $600 to do an open house.
Are you doing this? If not...please share your secrets. I am going broke doing Open House for my sellers.

Zubin Mater is the director. It is most wonderful...
Messum Dorma by Puccini preformed by Pavoratti is just one of my most favorite...

ginger of southport: Challenges, It is up to YOU! - 02/23/11 03:09 PM
Too all of my friends...
A bit of good advice
"We all face challenges in our lives. But how we tackle these challenges, and how we view our life is what truly matters. We can all look at life one of two ways:
1. We can focus on the good and move forward with optimism and enthusiasm, or, 2. We can focus on the negative and burry ourselfs in self pity and sadness."

ginger of southport: Buffini Introduction - 02/11/11 10:21 PM
Our wonderful owner of Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Realty, gave us an opportunity to go and see Brian Buffini last week He is a most agreeable entertainer and trainer. I believe what he is teaching. Do this easy....not hard. This is what I think is most important for us as realtor agents in the 2011 year.
You know what is important for us as agents. Back to Basics..

ginger of southport: What is your job as a real estate agent? - 01/25/11 04:25 PM
We all know the answer to that.
To list and sell property as often as possible.
How we go about doing that is what makes us all different.
If you have the chance to take the Mike Ferry "Action Workshop"....do it.
I have listed and sold real estate since 1983 and each time I go to a workshop like this, I learn something new or remember that something that I used to do...works...
Try it. No one can take your education from you.

ginger of southport: Mike Ferry Class in Wilmington NC - 01/25/11 03:58 PM
I am having a great time with the trainer, David Long, who is our instructor for the next 4 days. He is giving us ideas and tips of how to do business. Not to think about it..but to listen to what he says for us to do and to just do it.
Guess what, It works.
You do not have to be a rocket scientist to sell real estate. We have to ask questions and put the buyer and seller together. Why re-invent the wheel when its working. "If it ain't broken don't fix it.." We have heard this time and … (0 comments)

Who is "We"? It was said in Turkey : "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values." I found this very interesting.Do you know the Preamble for your state?Be sure to read the message at the bottom! Alabama 1901, Preamble We the people of the State of Alabama , invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God, do ordain and establish the following Constitution..

ginger of southport: Home Warranty or Not - 01/19/11 11:06 AM
I have been pondering this question for a while.
We have offered Home Warranties in the past to sellers and to buyers. I have been wondering about this importance of this.
In thinking it through, I have decided that it is in my best interest to offer it to the seller, but not to push in any way. Let them make the decision on their own.
We used to get a fee for offering them but in North Carolina, that can not be any more.
Still think it is a good idea, to protect yourself.

ginger of southport: Two New Tools - 01/19/11 11:01 AM
Today was our regular sales meeting day. We had 2 guest speakers telling us about their products. The Newspapers are hurting for lack of advertising and they are now trying to make it more affordable for individual agents to use the papers services.
Next we had a home warranty company that came in to entice us to use their warranty company with our sales.
Both are valid tools that we can use and I plan to do just that.
