baltimore real estate: So You Moved But Did You Change Your Address? - 03/07/12 06:53 PM
So You Moved But Did You Change Your Address?
When buying, selling and moving there is so much to do at the same time. Please don't forget these two things. Number One- Change your address with Motor Vehicle Administration The second - Change your address through the Board of Elections. This is free online and only takes a few minutes. If you don't change your address with MVA you could get a ticket if pulled over. If you don't change your address with the County Board of Elections, you will miss voting in the Presidential Primary.

Final Walk Through the Rome Way...8930 Church Lane 21133 You all know that I have the best sellers. We choose each other and we are 100% Sure we want to work together.

Our Maryland contract allows for a final inspection within five days of closing. … (12 comments)

baltimore real estate: What's Your Tag Line? I Love Mine! Pay It Forward - 12/15/10 10:08 PM
We have been talking about going back to basics, using name tags, business cards and staying in touch with people that we care about.
One of the most effective marketing tools is a memorable Tag Line. I happen to love mine. It goes into all my Baltimore advertising, print media, introductions, profile pages, blog header (thank you mARTi) and on my business card.
When time is short, a tag line can be used as an elevator speech.
You know how it goes. You are at a seminar, real estate event or business meeting... and it's … (27 comments)

My Phone Is Ringing in Baltimore Because of Crab Cakes, Corned Beef and Used Furniture!
Why am I, a Maryland Real Estate Broker, receiving calls about crab cakes, corned beef and used furniture?
If you click the links, you can see articles that I have written on ActiveRain. They are known as hyper local blogs. So even crab cakes, corned beef and used furniture make my phone ring right here in Baltimore, MD.
My Phone Is Ringing Because of ActiveRain but Not Necessarily About Real Estate
My phone is Ringing Because of ActiveRain but not necessarily about real estate.

baltimore real estate: SentriLock Boxs..Easy To Use...Safe and More.... - 08/17/10 09:50 PM
SentriLock Boxs..Easy To Use...Safe and More....
Here in Maryland we use SentriLock a good product, safe, easy to use and keeps records of all who use the lockbox. This is such a convenient feature to find out who kept their appointment and any return showings. It also is a good record to show our sellers the different agencies who have accessed their home.
It's Not Lockboxes...It's How Agents Use Them!
Just recently the SentriLock system gave us a neat renewal feature. The card needs to be updated every week. Sure I made a note on my smart phone calendar...but … (21 comments)

Where Do You Want the Sign Placed? Not… Do You Want a Sign?
I just commented on John Elwell's post "To Post a Sign or Not to Post a Sign When Selling Your Home? Think Carefully! stating: I could have made a blog out of this: So I am going to do just that!
A few years ago, I received a call from a seller who did some research and noticed that I had some difficult to sell properties. After obtaining the address I was not sure about the … (83 comments)

baltimore real estate: "Real Estate the Rome Way" by Margaret Rome - Book Review - 08/26/09 05:36 AM
Jason Crouch, one of the most admired and adored ActiveRainers, took time from his busy schedule to write the following review. Subscribing to Jason's blog is a must!
Via Jason Crouch, Broker - Austin Texas Real Estate (512-796-7653) (Austin Texas Homes, LLC):
Not too long ago, while speaking with my friend Margaret Rome, award-winning Baltimore Realtor, I asked how I could get a copy of her book, "Real Estate the Rome Way". She replied, "You give me your address and I will get it sent out to you soon."
Well, that was easy. I finished reading her book after a few short … (18 comments)

baltimore real estate: A Blog About Explaining A Blog - 03/05/08 02:26 PM
Next week I get to do one of my favorite things – talk about blogging. I know, I talk about it a lot anyway, but this time I've been asked to give a presentation on blogging for the Greater Baltimore Chapter of the Women's Council of Realtors.
The WCR is a great group that I've had fun with before. About a year and a half ago there was a session on using technology where I showed off my tech toys and tools during their Day of Education. The best part was seeing people sharing information and tips on using their tech … (34 comments)

baltimore real estate: Full House! How Real Estate is like Poker - 02/16/08 03:13 PM
How is real estate like poker? ”It takes minutes to learn the game and a lifetime to master it.”
It's true of poker, and I think it is also true of real estate and many other professions.
My friend who is a personal trainer saw Oprah interviewing someone who lost lots of weight and used a personal trainer to help get her back in shape. The newly slim woman loved the trainer so much and praised the way she helped. Not satisfied to just tout the wonderful talents of the trainer, she decided to take a few courses, learn how to … (10 comments)

baltimore real estate: Have Your Say – Vote Tuesday in Maryland - 02/11/08 10:59 AM
A Presidential primary in Maryland is not unusual - it happens every four years. What's different this time around is that the "Potomac Primary" (Maryland, DC, and Virginia all vote the same day) is getting national attention in the races for Democratic and Republican nominees.

baltimore real estate: Baltimore Real Estate in 21209 Means Mount Washington and More - 01/27/08 07:09 PM
My favorite place in Baltimore City is in the 21209 ZIP code. That would be my house, of course. But besides having HomeRome's home, 21209 includes many of the things that make Baltimore attractive.
Mount Washington is in the northwestern part of the city, and combines many of the pleasures of country living with easy access to the attractions of downtown Baltimore by way of the Jones Falls Expressway and Maryland's light rail system. The area is home to some 1,600 residences from 100-year-old mansions to modern condo developments. If you're looking for Georgian and Victorian architecture, this is a good … (10 comments)

baltimore real estate: Catching Ideas from Roald Marth, Technology Evangelist - 01/06/08 12:24 PM
That’s what it felt like one day in December. The MRIS sponsored a seminar with Roald Marth that turned out to be a great follow-up to our Smartphone session with Dick Betts. Listening to Roald you have to be quick and attentive because the ideas and information come at you fast.
So much good information, so much to remember. There’s no way I can recapture it all, but here are some of the highlights from this self-described nerd. (What else could you call someone who had almost perfect SAT scores, and the two questions he missed, well, he says the test … (24 comments)

baltimore real estate: Yep, I Have the Buyers! - 11/07/07 05:00 PM
Yes, I am told it is a buyer's market. There is way too much inventory on the market, and too many houses that are not selling. But still, I have good, qualified buyers who need a special home.
One such family is a blended family. Mother, Father, total of four children. Each parent was married before and each had two kids. So we don’t just need a new house…we need the perfect home. Each child has been promised their own room. After all, they each had their own rooms prior to the remarriage – why should they be penalized because of … (63 comments)

baltimore real estate: Where Listings Come From…The Rest of the Story - 10/26/07 02:13 PM
A couple of months ago I shared the story of Kaliq Simms. We met six years ago when I showed her and her husband a property that they did not buy. But she remembered me, and this time when they were ready to sell, they came to me to handle the listing.
I knew that this would be a lovely experience because Kaliq had impressed me when we met before. Sure enough, Kaliq and Joe where a delight to work with. They were sensible about pricing and recognized that today's market is not the same as a year ago. We set … (7 comments)

baltimore real estate: Singles are Buying in Baltimore - 06/22/07 01:06 PM
Jody Landers knows the Baltimore market better than anyone. As Executive Vice President of the Greater Baltimore Board of Realtors, he has the stats and the lowdown on what's happening in Central Maryland real estate.
We talked the other day when we both were guests of Terry Stafford on the radio show, All About Real Estate. The GBBR works with the National Association of Realtors® on surveys of buyers and sellers, and Baltimore stood out on several counts.
First, we learned that overall the Baltimore market is doing very well, and even though sales volume has gone down since last year, prices … (19 comments)
