Marketing Exposed - 03/27/07 03:20 PM

This lovely little car magnet caught my eye as I left the airport last week.  A visit to the web site quickly reveals that it's not a Realtor...but someone who buys homes as an investor.  Effective idea...worked on me.  I know you want to visit the site so here's a link to save you a few seconds: My Private Buyer

Good is not good enough - 03/17/07 10:57 AM

I've lost count of how many times I've said "good is not good enough anymore" to an audience of Realtors. Over and over again, agents hear of the 80/20 rule.
