buyers: Gardening promotes wisdom - 05/24/09 12:25 PM

buyers: Sellers should demand - "Show me that you can write" - 05/16/09 01:21 PM

buyers: I'd rather do it myself - 07/19/08 08:15 AM
Internet-Enabled Buyers and Sellers like to do their own research. Often they spend countless hours determining what the market offers for months and months. While they are gathering data, they feel there is no need to connect with a live real estate agent.
That independance is fine if you have plenty … (14 comments)

buyers: The Woodlands Historic District - Grogans Mill Village - 02/02/08 12:16 PM
The first thing buyers notice about the Grogans Mill Village is it's convenience to I-45. But what will impress you the most is the towering, mature trees that have homes nestled in among them.

If only 3-6% of the current agents have the ability to maximize the use of a blog, will we be the next group of agents positioned to be highly paid professionals?

This may be a trick question for some of you. You may be experiencing a big downturn in real estate sales right now. When there are a lot of foreclosures, the shortage of buyers is a short-lived issue. Soon, buyers will show up ready, willing and able to buy houses - … (8 comments)

buyers: Oh Me, Oh My - A meme!!! - 01/14/08 09:41 AM
Natalie Langford tagged me about a week ago. I really, really wonder what would cause her to be intrigued about me. Is it because I burst onto the Active Rain scene and was blown away by all the intelligent, generous and talented people here? I was so impressed that my immediate … (20 comments)

buyers: Our market is doing GREAT!!! - 01/01/08 02:48 PM
Sometimes, as a real estate agent, I get so busy simply serving clients that I do not take the time to do general research. I knew that my business was similar, if not better, in 2007 when compared to 2006. But because I had given all my focus to clients instead … (3 comments)

I came into the office early this morning to catch up on some paperwork that needs to be turned in and found the halls to be quiet beyond belief. The receptionist is here with a bright and gleeful attitude. But this office that is normally buzzing with activity is silent.
