keller williams: Is Keller Williams Realty right for you? - 11/06/09 08:36 PM
Each and every day, I meet with Realtors to discuss the market, the challenges they face, the tools they need, the opportunities they face. My approach with these agents is to be a resource for them, to answer questions, coach and consult them, be a sounding board, and help them as much as I can. Many of these agents are already with Keller Williams Realty, though a fair number are not with us. My approach with the agents from other companies is to be a friend first. Keller Williams Realty is not always a match for another agent, and that's okay.

keller williams: The Housing Crisis is in fact a Wall Street Crisis: Michael Lewis's article "The End" featured in Conde-Nast Portfolio - 11/28/08 04:57 PM
This is an incredibly insightful article, from Michael Lewis, the author of Liar's Poker and The New New Thing, and other great books about the world we currently know.
http://www.portfolio.com/news-markets/national-news/portfolio/2008/11/11/The-End-of-Wall-Streets-Boom
This is so telling... Michael Lewis is such a great writer. I've known for years that we weren't facing a housing bubble, we were awaiting a Wall Street implosion! The perfect storm in real estate had come and passed by 9/11: people sold their tech stocks and had money to invest; interest rates dropped and people refinanced; and then, realizing they could afford more, people bought up. The natural progression in … (0 comments)

keller williams: First Time Homebuyers Tax Credit - 10/30/08 01:11 PM
Here is a very informative document from the National Association of Realtors regarding the First Time Homebuyers $7,500 Tax Credit. You can visit the NAR website at http://www.realtor.org/gapublic.nsf/files/hbtaxcreditqa2008.pdf/$FILE/hbtaxcreditqa2008.pdf
First time homebuyers have never had it so good! Interest rates remain historically very low, loans are plentiful for buyers with good credit and stable income, and home prices are lower now on average than we've seen in 6 or 7 years. Looking back in a few years, those buyers who took advantage of this credit and bought in this market are going to be very pleased they did!

This in my opinion rates right up there with the Stanford University case study of Keller Williams culture... another great read on exactly who Keller Williams is.

keller williams: What I would do to solve our credit crunch if I controlled $700 Billion! - 10/10/08 01:54 PM
I just posted this on the Wall Street Journal's blog:
http://blogs.wsj.com/deals/2008/10/10/jamie-dimon-lloyd-blankfein-steve-schwarzman-discuss-salvation-at-the-nyse/#comment-118849
As a real estate agent, and economics novice, if I were to do something creative to solve this crisis, and since we’ve already budgeted $700B: taxpayers could get a major check from the government to pay off their individual mortgages and to stimulate the economy, with strings attached. If a taxpayer earned under $50,000, they receive $250,000 to pay off any mortgage, credit card debts, school loans–the remainder if any can be spent as they see fit. They will agree to not be allowed any mortgage or HELOC … (1 comments)

I attended Gary Keller's SHIFT Tour last Wednesday in Detroit, Michigan... he is a powerful speaker! He's a very thoughtful, contemplative, considerate speaker. He speaks to a full room of 1,500 agents as though he's talking to three or four individuals about what is on his mind. He'll be travelling around the country promoting his new book "SHIFT: How Top Real Estate Agents Tackle Tough Markets" and advising agents on the top tactics that can get us through this market.
Here, Gary is talking about hiring talent:

keller williams: Keller Williams offices have more agents than Coldwell Banker, Prudential, Century 21, or Re/Max offices - 02/17/08 10:17 AM
This photo taken by Greg R. Benson, a Keller Williams agent, at our Family Reunion 2008 in Atlanta.
What is so remarkable about these numbers is the efficiency that can be gained, the momentum that can be created, by having so many agents in one single office... costs for overhead, staffing, computers, copiers, and resources can be really held down in a tough market. Typically, a KW office has one receptionist serving more than 100 agents... one market center administrator, one team leader. Very lean and efficient.
Another clear advantage here is that the franchise ownership group has a larger protected area, … (8 comments)

keller williams: Keller Williams grew in 2007 while Prudential, Re/Max Century 21, and Coldwell Banker all lost agents - 02/17/08 10:13 AM
This photo taken by Greg R. Benson, a Keller Williams agent, at Family Reunion 2008 in Atlanta.
We all know this is a difficult market, and surely no one is surprised that part-time agents, and inactive agents, are exiting the industry in droves. Dues are coming up for renewal, and NAR will have a real drop in membership at the next reporting period... they already acknowledge significant agent losses; surely many more are coming.
This is not necessarily a bad thing for the industry. Many of those part-timers create problematic transactions from their lack of experience, their shallow skill sets, and their overall lack of knowledge. … (42 comments)

keller williams: Lead Generation is my number one goal for 2008 - 02/05/08 08:17 PM
I am focusing on Lead Generation as the key to success in this difficult market... My top leverage points for lead generation are my sphere (those people I know and who know me) and the calls that my listings generate (warm inbound calls).
I commit to following up on all possible leads first thing in the morning, from 9am to noon. I have availed that time in my schedule by hiring two key members of my team: a Listing Coordinator and a Contract-to-Close Specialist. These two pros focus on those areas of my business that are not "Dollar Producing" activities.

keller williams: What are the most important websites for advertising our listings? - 01/16/08 09:24 PM
Do you have a list of favorite websites, or very beneficial websites, where you advertise your listings... an absolute must, a real no brainer? Sure, I advertise my listings on Realtor.com, and HarmonHomes.com. And I take full advantage of the Keller Williams Listing Service, which then feeds numerous other websites. I use Craigslist, Trulia and others... but are there some real gems out there I should know?
Please share your list, those sites which fill your inbox with leads and get your phone ringing... I am eager to try them out!
Here's to your success in 2008!

I can hardly wait to get to Vegas for Family Reunion! And I just heard that we'll have Ken Blanchard speaking on Wednesday! Mandalay Bay is a great setting for this amazing opportunity to grow: to grow personally, professionally and to grow spiritually.
