In a court of law....Is it a 5 BR/2car garage, or a 4 BR w/a secret room in the garage?

How many real estate agents are left in this market? Seriously...how many agents who were licensed agents still hold a license in their state and have hung out throught this current debacle?

agents: Loving your previous customers, why not? - 08/08/09 10:05 PM
Loving your previous customers, why not?
What a wonderful web we weave, when we practice to succeed...I don't know where I heard this other than my ex-husband, but it is so true!
Yes, SUCCEED, not DECEIVE!
I am so happy this week as I have 2 previous customers who called me … (4 comments)

agents: Listings, uh huh! It's how you do it babe! - 07/27/09 10:08 PM
Listings, uh huh! It's how you do it babe!
Ah! Now that I have your attention.
UGH!   You crazy agents.
Getting listings is the same as meeting people, talking to friends, going out and talking to people.
My favorite places are time share resorts.  If these people love to spend mega … (7 comments)

agents: A RE agents survival is a short sale in disguise.... - 05/27/09 09:39 PM
A RE agents survival is a short sale in disguise....
WHY?  READ ON.
It amazes me how many of the "seasoned agents" who go with the flow, who are astute enough, who realized the market was changing, and who adapted to this when it began...are still doing quite well.
That being … (8 comments)

agents: It's a felony to sell property if you are not a licensed agent, at least in Florida...or if not a reciprocal state. - 05/21/09 09:02 PM
It's a felony to sell property if you are not a licensed agent, at least in Florida...or if not a reciprocal state.
So many times I have pulled up a listing from a non-Florida agent representing a bank as a listing agent.
Do you agents know that you cannot list, market, … (15 comments)

agents: Your price was here (2006), however it's now here (2009) a reality check. - 02/11/09 09:25 PM
Your price was here (2006), however it's now here (2009) a reality check.
OK, you have owned the property longer than this major real estate debacle.  You bought in 2004...Your property USED to be worth about 40% more than it is in this market.
I don't care if you live on … (11 comments)

agents: Fess UP! You are too addicted to AR, don't lie now...that's just wrong! - 11/13/08 11:09 PM
Fess UP!  You are too addicted to AR, don't lie now...that's just wrong!
Don't lie now, you are too addicted to AR...yes you are. [No, I'm not], yes you are. [No, I'm not], you are too...you can't fool another AR addict...you might think you can...but, as the saying goes, "You can … (4 comments)

I hate myself for lovin' you, can't break free from the things that you do (thank you Joan Jett)...
I want to walk, but I run back to you...
Do you feel this way sometimes about a tough buyer?
Do you love the fact that you have a GREAT BUYER, albeit, … (9 comments)

Yes, I do!  I aim to bond with the customers that choose to work with me... I want them to gain trust in me by my confidence in the fact that I can help them to reach their goals.
I refer them to other experts such as Mortgage Brokers, Appraisers, Inspectors who … (2 comments)

agents: How do YOU assess your competence? - 01/06/08 06:59 PM
How do YOU assess your competence? (edit/delete)
Did you ever critique yourself?
Have you ever though HOW you project?
Did you ever consider how people in general perceive you?
Well, it's a new year and self-evaluation will be a significant part of how you project your persona, your idea's, your new business plan.
Are you over … (7 comments)

The hare could be:
1. Investors
2. People who are relocated due to jobs

agents: It's a New Year! Feel it! Love it! and Go for it! - 01/03/08 11:11 PM
Hey everyone it's 2008, what rhymes with that is that it is great....i.e., 2008 WILL BE GREAT!
I mean alot of our fellow agents have left the industry, gone "in-active", or just disappeared.
This is not always bad for those of us full-timers.
However, we have to keep the faith, keep positive, and help … (0 comments)

agents: They're here today...they could be ghosts tomorrow... - 01/03/08 09:42 PM
I have heard from so many customers that their agents have booked! Yes, I'm saying that they're gone...they called their customers and said they were dropping their listings and have taken other jobs...
I mean, not that I mind having the customers calling me, however, if I chose to leave the industry … (10 comments)

Thursday a week ago in my rotation through the time share resorts, and local watering holes where I meet a lot of buyers,  I met another prospective buyer!
He said to me, "Are you in real estate?" I said, … (17 comments)

agents: Gut's and glory.... - 12/09/07 08:52 PM
My question is, "Do you have the gut's in this market, to hang in there for the future glory?" Do you have financial backing to be able to hang? What are your plans as a full time agent. What does your BUSINESS PLAN consist of for next year.
I would like to … (9 comments)
