real estate agent: Stop What You're Doing Right Now!!!!
- 11/24/08 02:08 PM
I hit a wall today...I mean a really big wall! There is not enough time in the day, week, or even year to accomplish all the things I need to do and all the things I want to do. At Keller Williams Realty we stress the importance of having a business plan, doing your 4-1-1 which is a to do list on steroids, and of course living the 80/20 rule. I coach and consult with my agents on a daily basis about these things...I guess the old saying teach to your weakness comes into play here :-) Well in a search … (3 comments)
real estate agent: Keller Williams Realty in 2009?!?
- 11/21/08 10:46 AM
Image by Raymond Yee via FlickrImage by Raymond Yee via Flickr I have to be honest here. I've wrote about your 2009 business plan in the last couple of posts and I'll continue to write about the Keller Williams Realty MREA business plan in the next few, but I've been wondering... As you set your goals for next year, plan your marketing, work out your conversion ratios, and try to figure out what your business will look like when you're done, have you stopped to wonder how you're going to get there? Have you wondered who's going to help you? Do … (0 comments)

In the second step of creating your business plan we go over your businesses organization. If you're going to run your real estate business like a business it's first important to create your businesses organizational chart. By creating or evaluating your current organizational chart you are better able to clearly define your role and anyone else you use as leverage. For a solo agent that could be you and only you, or maybe your office staff.

real estate agent: Bulletproofing Your Transaction
- 06/10/08 07:35 AM
When a deal falls apart, nobody wins.... We all know that agreeing to the sales price is only the first negotiation, and what happens in the contract -to-close period can literally make or break your efforts to get to the closing table. Tension created by seller's thinking they sold for too low, and buyer's thinking they paid too much has turned the contract period into a sensitive time that requires agents to be on the ball and use their best relationship building and negotiation skills. I taught a bulletproofing class today in our Market Center. We discussed 4 ways to minimize … (0 comments)
real estate agent: Realtor's to charge Gas Surcharges to Buyers for Driving Them Around!
- 05/22/08 01:04 AM
I can't belive it...on my way into the office this morning I was listening to the radio and they had their hourly piece on the daily news stories. Since gas here last night was 3.99 a gallon and rising you can guess that was one of the featured news stories. The reporter goes on to say how all Americans are feeling the crunch and that service industry professionals are starting to add fees on to their regular bills. One example she used was that plumbers are adding a $5 surcharge to your bill if they have to go back to … (13 comments)

- 05/19/08 02:44 PM
In the Sunday Columbus Dispatch, Sue Lusk-Gleich, one of the founding partners of Keller Williams Capital Partners was quoted in the article Prices That Add Up.

- 05/13/08 12:50 PM
One of the things we are so proud of at Keller Williams is our culture and the strong emphasis on giving back. At Keller Williams Capital Partners, we make giving back an everyday event.

Since its inception, Capital Partners Cares has been fortunate enough to sponsor yearly food drives, community service projects, and charity events. In addition, Capital Partners Cares is able to help out any of our agents, their families, clients, and other community members … (0 comments)
On Friday we launched Power Hour at our market center. Power Hour is an hour of focused lead generation held every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. You can read more about power hour in my blog post I Do...Do You, Real Estate Lead Generation. We had 10 agents participate this Friday and we were able to make 71 calls resulting in 12 appointments set. WOW! Although an hour of calling on your sphere or buyer & seller leads didn't draw the kind of participation I had hoped for, I'm sure the buzz will pick up as we get more results … (6 comments)

real estate agent: You Just Don't Know What You Don't Know...About Keller Williams
- 04/28/08 03:59 PM
about keller williams realty So what don't you know about Keller Williams? Is there a question you've been dying to ask? What is it with that profit sharing program anyway? Keller Williams was founded in 1983 in Texas. Although it's been two decades since, there are still real estate agents out there who don't understand who Keller Williams is and the philosophy behind its success. Keller Williams Capital Partners has only been in the Central Ohio real estate market for a little over 5 years and the rumors (that's right the old MLM joke) still float around. An agent from another company … (8 comments)
