margaret rome: Who Have You Invited? An ActiveRain Invitation is a Gift! - 01/11/12 11:51 PM
Who Have You Invited? An ActiveRain Invitation is a Gift! Everyone knows Joeann Fossland through the many articles she had written in real estate magazines. Years ago I was vacationing in Arizona and realized I was near her home. I picked up the phone, introduced myself and invited her for lunch. We hit it off immediately, and since then she's invited me to contribute to articles on niche marketing and technology.
I was "lucky" to meet this wonderful lady because I picked up the phone and made the connection. It was only natural to invite Joeann to become a … (11 comments)

margaret rome: IF YOU WANT SOLD ON YOUR HOME CALL MARGARET ROME - 12/28/11 09:35 PM
IF YOU WANT SOLD ON YOUR HOME CALL MARGARET ROME At the end of the calendar year, I like to change my advertising a bit. Sell Your Home With Margaret Rome has been a successful tag line for many years. I was thinking of doing an entire page with "SOLD" signs on all the houses... but then my current listings would not have the exposure. So I am using the top row with a banner that says IF YOU WANT SOLD ON YOUR HOME CALL MARGARET ROME. It is a subtle change that I will be using for the next two … (9 comments)

Welcome to Baltimore, HON ! This weekend Linda had her holiday open house celebrating the second Christmas season for Virginia's Rose. I loved seeing customers finding special treasures and the sound of laughter when the perfect item was discovered. It was a pleasure meeting Linda's friend, Charlene E. Osborne, author My Year as Baltimore's Best HON. I now own a copy, signed in pink ink. Charlene greets people, young and old, saying..."You are a real cutie patootie."

margaret rome: Highly likely to recommend - 12/02/11 12:11 PM
Some time ago, I wrote Don't Forget to Ask for a Review...You Deserve It! One of my favorite sellers and now friend posted a very kind review of me on Zillow. It started off with...''Highly likely to recommend.'' This is the home located in Westminster Where You Can Live Like You are on Vacation All Year Round! It is one of my favorite all time listings...a cantilevered contemporary on 28 acres.
And here is Lucy's summary of our relationship during the selling process. 'Highly likely to recommend Summary: Margaret is a hands down the best agent I've ever … (11 comments)

margaret rome: Nice way to do business. - 11/09/11 06:21 PM
A Nice Way To Do Business. While showing one of my clients a property, I found out it was going to auction. Right away I contacted the auction company and registered these buyers. At the same time the buyers signed into the auction company, registered for online bidding and also confirmed that I was their buyer representative. They started the bidding and within a few hours found out they were the winning bidders...and are now under contract.
Extra time was found by using DocuSign for the first time last night. (How convenient that one of the contest deadines is today.) … (49 comments)

margaret rome: Elevator Speech Is Only Three Seconds! - 10/26/11 10:02 PM
My Elevator Speech is Only Three Seconds!
You know how it goes. You are at a networking event or business association meeting, and it's that time when everyone gets to introduce themselves. The leader says, "Give us your name, company, and a little about what you do…but please keep it short!" Around the room, people get up....some drone on and on, others barely whisper their name and still others stammer through an almost inaudible description. When my turn comes, I say it in three seconds flat and sit down while they are still laughing and applauding. … (31 comments)

What a nice way to spend a couple of hours...having lunch with a special friend named Joeann Fossland... one of the top 25 women in real estate. I am never too busy to take time see Joeann and this weekend was no exception. Since Joeann had a plane to catch at four, we met at G & M Restaurant, very convenient to the Baltimore airport.. and they do have the best crab cakes in town. Great friends, great conversation and great food...who could ask for more. Joeann topped it off by bringing me these pretty flowers. For years I have known this caring, sharing and amazing … (22 comments)

margaret rome: As Agents We Love to Brag! - 07/28/11 10:22 PM
As agents we love to brag! But how do you do it without sounding like a show off?
When I got my very first listing...my office manager put up a banner that read: 'Congratulations Margaret'.
That only happened once...they figured it was beginner's luck. Little did they know!
How do we get that banner today?
We create it. We make it happen and blogging is a wonderful way to brag! I would rather call it sharing my success. It is a way to let others know we are good at what we do!
We do … (68 comments)

margaret rome: Buyers Need a Home! Are You Selling? - 06/14/11 10:01 PM
This young family needs a home! Their home went under contract and will be closing next month. With all the media talk about it being a buyer's market and how hard it is to sell a home....they listed their home with me and voila it sold! Now we are trying to move them into the Summit Chase neighborhood.
No problem...it's a buyer's market.
Well not so fast. There are no homes on the market that meet their needs. They really want an end of group with a garage. We have been out looking at lots of other areas and lots of … (30 comments)

margaret rome: The Hospital is Only as Good as the Doctor Who Treats You! - 05/31/11 01:06 AM
The Hospital is Only as Good as the Doctor Who Treats You! The school is only as good as the teacher your child gets! And the real estate company is only as good as the agent you work with.
When associated with the big real estate company, I asked three questions on a listing appointment...now there are only two questions.
1-Are you 100% sure you want to sell your house? 2-Are you 100% sure you want to use me?
The third question used to be: "Do you have any questions about the company I work for?" Most times there were none … (93 comments)

Today at GBBR Margaret Rome Signed up another new Member for ActiveRain
Take a look at new member Rosa Almond. I think ActiveRain is going to be nuts about this new member!
Rosa's enthusiasm, sitting in front of the class, was infectious. Can't wait to hear more about how she is going to use the idea of a bag of almonds tied with a pink ribbon. Rosa Almond is nuts about Real Estate!!!!!! Wow in one day, one blogging class , Rosa signed up, posted and even reblogged!
