realtor mora: Why Now Is The Perfect Time To Buy Mora Minnesota Real Estate!
- 10/06/07 03:48 PM
I'm sure you've heard that the real estate market is down, and everyone is feeling the effects. Yet there are many GREAT reasons to buy a home in Mora Minnesota right now! Here are my top ten reasons: Prices are great on homes. Real estate in Mora wasn't as inflated as some other locations in previous years, but has taken a hit this year. Prices have fallen, making it easier and more affordable to get into a quality, stick-built home than it was before!Interest rates are still low. I know many lenders in Mora Minnesota that are getting buyers better rates than buyers … (4 comments)
realtor mora: Five Days Off? Are You Kidding Me???
- 05/24/07 10:41 AM
I am a real estate agent through and through. I took to it like a duck to water. Cell phone? Check. Obsession with office voicemail? Check. PA's and listing agreements neatly compiled in my car? Check. So naturally, when my fiancee, Nick, said he wanted to go camping for Memorial Weekend...... I asked how long we would be gone. We do this every year, and I've always been super excited. Right now I'm having a panic attack. We're leaving tonight, coming back sometime on TUESDAY. TUESDAY, people! I'm freaking out. What if someone calls? What if there is a question that someone needs answered? What if a PA comes in???? WHAT IF … (15 comments)
realtor mora: Friends, Associates, Blog Subscriptions.... My How Life Has Changed!
- 05/17/07 09:13 AM
When you click on "My Home" at the top of your screen, what do YOU see? I know what I see. I see today's most recent blogs. It's what's to the right that shocks me. My subscribed blogs. Millions upon millions of subscribed blogs. Okay, not millions, but definitely a lot! I click on associations. Millions of associations. Okay, once again, I do tend to exaggerate, but you get the idea. I LOVE having "friends" in real estate. I love having people I can send referrals to, people who share their ideas with me, and people who are knowledgable, creative, caring, and fun. I love to hear … (2 comments)
realtor mora: My Flyers! My Expired Letter! It's ME You Want To Talk To!!!
- 05/17/07 07:12 AM
I have a problem, and it's very perplexing. I flyer, I farm, and I send out expired letters. There IS response. That's not the problem. The problem is that they don't remember who I am. The call the office or stop by. They remember RE/MAX. Most don't admit that it was a flyer that made them stop here. But as they call or come in and are describing the place, I'm thinking "I flyered them! They haven't worked with anyone, they don't ask for anyone, what am I doing wrong????" They end up talking to whoever is on floor, which so far has not been … (90 comments)
realtor mora: Can't We All Be Friends????
- 05/15/07 07:20 AM
I love going out and meeting other agents. I love learning about them, seeing their listings, the way they act, things they do to stage a home... I just love it. For example. Recently, an agent called our office and talked to our broker. Her office is in Ramsey, and she has a listing here in Mora. The hard part about that is that you aren't familiar with the competition. I feel sorry for her, because she called our broker, saying that she had gotten feedback from one of the agents here in the office, and their opinion was that it … (8 comments)
realtor mora: MySpace networking - just isn't AR, is it?
- 05/10/07 09:44 AM
I have been MySpace networking for months upon months. Before I was even licensed, I was making friends "in the biz" on MySpace. But has it helped? I've gotten a few leads off of myspace. They have been cold leads, but they are still some. I just maintain my presence, helpful attitude, and girly layout. I blog, I add more friends, I comment for birthdays. Somehow, however, I find I would rather spend my time on AR. AR gives me rankings in google searches, knowledge, opinions, and fun. I have become spoiled, looking no further than blogs for marketing ideas, advice on farming, and … (20 comments)
realtor mora: You Crazy Cat!
- 05/10/07 07:24 AM
I don't know what to do about "Briggy Monster". She has turned into a monster. Recently I came home to a window carelessy left open by Nick, and a screen sliced open by Briggs. I was quite upset. A week later, I came home after dark, and standing in the middle of the road was none other than Briggy. Examination of the house showed that another window (NICK!) was left open, and Briggy pushed the screen out. Last night I came home, and Nick was outside. I went in the house, and there was no sign of Briggy. I raced around, checking all the windows, … (32 comments)

realtor mora: Why I Love Working For My Broker!
- 05/08/07 04:23 AM
Some people say "Joslyn, you didn't even bother to look at other companies. What were you thinking???" I was thinking that I knew who I trusted, and knew I loved this office. Some of you know, and some of you don't, that I started here as the receptionist. I had interviewed for a position as a receptionist elsewhere, but didn't get hired. An ex-broker had interviewed, and got the position. When I started here, I wasn't sure how it was going to go. Everyone watched everything I did, and didn't trust me a bit. That faded with time. I just watched and observed. … (8 comments)
realtor mora: Why I Don't Take Pictures For Other REALTORS Anymore!
- 05/08/07 03:22 AM
So I'm fairly new, as most of you know, but I thought I'd throw this little story out there. I'm sure there are many other good stories, but it's still funny, and definitely worth a blog post! Don't know about the contest? Check it out here! I have a manufactured home that needs to be moved, and was discussing with another agent in my office how it may be beneficial to do a combined ad in the paper with my manufactured and a plot of land that she has listed where a manufactured home would be okay to move in. She, like me, … (28 comments)
realtor mora: HomeGain - anyone familiar?
- 05/07/07 07:47 AM
I've found that when I search google for "real estate agent Mora Minnesota", I'm only topped by two things. One is GMAC real estate (No problem, I'll overcome that obstacle soon!!!) and the other is homegain. I went online and checked it out, but I was curious if anyone here on AR is familiar with it. It boasts getting so many leads a month, but I don't know how I'd get that many leads considering the area that I'm working. I live in a small town, after all. I also wonder how I'm going to knock them down in the searches. I … (82 comments)
