virginia: Training That Works - 12/09/07 07:21 AM

In my last blog about the glory of RE/MAX, one of the comments made was that RE/MAX has no formal training program...other than watching videos. Some of what that person said is true, but it also made me think about what training is. I am a teacher, and even though I … (4 comments)

virginia: More Upstream Fishing - 12/08/07 01:41 PM

Some time ago I ranted about companies that fished upstream of realtors listings by capturing the IDX data and presenting it as if it were their own. Some of you said, "No biggie," or something to that effect. Just yesterday, I was doing a search for Remax Harrisonburg to see what … (1 comments)

virginia: Full-time Versus Part-time - 12/08/07 09:40 AM

It seems to me (at least in my market) that there are two kinds of agents; full-timers and part-timers. I have my own thoughts about which is better, but for now let's just say there are two types of agents. When I look at the rosters of some of the larger firms … (12 comments)

virginia: Real Estate Auctions - Is The Future Here? - 11/24/07 07:44 PM

While we continue to do the real estate business the way we always have: list it, mls it, wait for a buyer, sell it, the world of real estate is evolving. Not that its new, real estate auctions are beginning to become a serious alternative to the way we've always done … (3 comments)

virginia: The value of photography - 11/23/07 10:28 PM

The person that said, " A picture is worth a thousand words," must have been a realtor. At least they should have been. The one thing that people want when they investigate your listing is lots of pictures. I hate when I go to a listing that has a single photo. … (6 comments)

virginia: Good News - 11/23/07 12:07 PM

I recently spoke with a client that does engineering for developers...site work, etc. They have begun to see an increased demand for their services from northern Virginia, an area that was hit hard in the recent housing downturn. This could mean that the movers and shakers have come out of their … (0 comments)

virginia: How much does free advertising cost? - 11/22/07 11:02 AM

I recently spoke with an agent about joining our firm (Re/Max Allegiance). This agent works for a competing firm that supposedly offers free advertising as a part of their incentive. Free in this agent's case was limited to a small portion of an in-house magazine and a pro-rata portion of an … (2 comments)

virginia: Bad Market or Lack of Confidence? - 10/27/07 04:58 PM

Everywhere one turns they are being bombarded by bad news related to the housing market. FEAR, FEAR, and more FEAR. Journalists (for the most part) are objective and report accordingly. However, I must admit that I have begun to wonder if there is some type of journalistic conspiracy to sink the … (0 comments)

virginia: Media influence or "The Sky is Falling" - 07/28/07 07:09 PM

Is is just me or is anyone else tired of thinking that things are getting better in their local market, only to view a media report on national television explaining how horrible the real estate market is? Our local market in Harrisonburg, Virginia has definitely experienced a correction, but the market … (3 comments)

virginia: Foreclosure or Not? - 07/28/07 06:34 PM

I have recently grown concerned about the way information provided by local real estate agents is being used on the internet. Don't get me wrong, I understand the power and utilty of the internet, and have nothing against a properly displayed listing on someone else's site. What I do take issue … (5 comments)
