List It Once - Sell It Twice - 08/28/11 10:19 PM
I can definitely relate to this.  I m sure many of my colleagues can as well.  Except my adage has been "third times a charm."  I had to repost.  Enjoy.
Via Karen Crowson, ABR, SRES, Livermore, CA (Alain Pinel Realtors, Livermore, CA):
List it once, sell it twice.  Once upon a time a statement like that would have no context whatsoever. But unfortunately it probably rings true for most of us. Listing a property is just the first step in a process. And completed transactions these days often see buyers come and go for any number of reasons, including:

Who is listening on Facebook? - 08/17/11 11:32 PM
I thought this was a great perspective on using Facebook for prospecting.  Everyone is trying to make a presence on Facebook, but how many people do you actually reach?
