Lend a hand, or give 'em the boot - 02/25/08 05:53 PM
As real estate associations around the country continue to report their decreases in membership for 2007, I can't help but wonder...
Do you encourage your fellow struggling Realtors to stick it out, or do you kindly say "Real estate isn't for everyone, I'm sure you'll find something out there.  At least you tried." 
Failed Realtors can be both a benefit to you, and a negative resource for your business.
The benefit to you is the less agent, the more potential business for you!  I've heard many people say, "We don't need them, they were just in it for the money." Well, true... most people … (3 comments)

Cookies, Candles and Creative Customer Relationships - 02/19/08 10:39 AM
Nothing beats walking into a house and smelling fresh baked cookies, homemade pie or smells of the waves rushing onto the shore.  It's gives you that warm feeling of being at Gramma's house during the holiday's or playing on the beach as a kid.  Good smells trigger good memories, and put your walk-thrus in a positive mood while meandering through your listings.  Many times, great conversation can be struck up by talking about the smell of the house and it leaves lasting impressions!  You get to know your customers more, and if they end up buying the house... you know just … (7 comments)

Kids these days... - 02/13/08 02:40 PM
I received this email today and thought it was a great addition to my last post: Chronicles of a Young Homebuyer 
ENJOY!!!
THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!!
When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what, with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning... uphill BOTH ways yada, yada, yada!And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it and how easy … (4 comments)

Chronicles of a Young Homebuyer - 02/08/08 02:57 PM
Chronicles of a Young Gen Y Homebuyer
I’m 25.  I’ve never bought a house, I’m not quite ready.  But you can guarantee I’ve done my homework and I already know what agents I will work with when I am ready to buy.  I have several friends, the same age as me, who have owned 2 or more homes; and I can guarantee you they aren’t staying put for long.  They started out in a Townhouse for one, then marriage equals a garage for two, then comes baby in a baby carriage; more rooms, more space.  How would you like to be … (37 comments)

Do your testimonials sound more like an infomercial? - 02/07/08 12:00 PM
We've all seen Infomercials... and yes, sometimes even fallen for them.  Was it the "OOOOOOOO", the "AHHHHHHH" or the screetching excitement from the lady in the background (who sounded more like she won a million dollars than just saving 5 minutes of scrubbing time on her 8-year olds playground stains), followed by an overbearing applause from the audience.  As I sit here thinking to myself "this is so stupid, who is God's name would watch these corny shows?"  You know there is a guy behind the camera holding up cue cards. "GASP", "CLAP".  Suddenly, my phone rings, I snap out of … (0 comments)

Marketing gurus that really deserve a "Job Well Done" award - 02/01/08 05:09 PM
I've been talking with ad agencies for the past two weeks about creative ideas on how they can implement Goomzee Connect into their clients' advertising portfolios.  We focus our primary sales and product enhancements based around the real estate industry, however, some advertisers have called us and asked if they can use our service for alternate purposes; coupons, event/entertainment information, artwork, internal company communication, etc.  Heck, I say, the more the merrier!  I'm glad they are thinking out of the box - which then inspired me!
How it's primarily worked so far: They provide a list of their clients with … (7 comments)
