leolinda bowers: KAPU! Off Limits! Do Not Open! - 02/19/10 03:10 PM
In Hawaii when an area is off limits, people will frequently see a posted "Kapu" sign which means, no tresspassing or do not enter.
Sometimes we Realtors agree to do some really strange things. While taking a listing today in Sun City Grand, the seller asked me to be sure that all agents were notified not to open a specific exit door to the yard.

I went outside to check why all of the agents were being asked never to open a specific door that lead to the backyard of the property.  There it was.   The seller pointed it out, it … (10 comments)

leolinda bowers: Need a Curb Appeal? Amazing Stone Veneers to the Rescue! - 02/18/10 04:52 PM
It's all about curb appeal!  According to HGTV most buyers decide on the home within two minutes from seeing the exterior.  
A few months ago I received an advertisement for cultured stone veneers in my Sun City Grand  home.  I set the ad aside thinking that it may be an asthetically pleasing to the front of any home. The company, Amazing Stone Veneers ROC#255767, is owned by Brian Showvaker.  It's a family owned and operated company located in Surprise Arizona.
Shortly thereafter there was a bit of excitement in front of my neighbor's home.  My neighbors were having stone veneer installed.  The process began with an application and subsequent approval from … (68 comments)

leolinda bowers: Blame it on Cher, she got me thinking Disclosure... - 02/17/10 01:27 PM
I came home from Big D and got an immediate wake-up call while I was driving home from the airport.  It was like Cher in"Starstruck" when she slapped her boyfriend's brother silly.  Without saying specifics, I would like to preface this by saying that I was taught always, disclose. 
In this case, should you disclose?...or would you disclose?
 If you are a licensed to sell real estate in Arizona, when buying or selling Arizona real estate, you must disclose that you are licensed to sell real estate in Arizona. 
If you were licensed in another state, there is no rule in Arizona regarding disclosure when buying or selling real estate … (9 comments)

What is the buzz about Google buzz?  Well, in short, this appears to be an attempt to get users to switch from platforms such as facebook and twitter to services provided by Google. 
The end hope is to entice users into using other services
Google docs, online document editing and sharing application Reader - a very good rss aggregator Calendar, and other services.  This is a pretty enticing product offering and it is completely FREE!  I like that word!  Google hopes that people will be drawn into using the buzz application because of this tight integration to other products and, well, it … (13 comments)

leolinda bowers: Happy Valentines Day Anniversary Arizona! - 02/14/10 04:01 PM
 Happy Valentines Day Anniversary Arizona!
Today is my 20th wedding anniversary.  It's also the day of another anniversary that many Arizonas celebrate.  98 years ago today Arizona became the 48th State in the Union. On February 14, 1912, Arizona was the last of the 48 contiguous states to be admitted to the United States of America. 
Two years from now Arizona will be celebrating 100 years of statehood. If you're planning a vacation or a winter get-away in 2012, I suggest that you secure your lodging soon.  We're going to have a BIG party in 2012.
Happy Anniversary Arizona!

leolinda bowers: PLEASE...Don't Read or Should You? - 02/08/10 02:56 AM
I recently read a blog by an agent who recommended techinques to increase sales in a down economy.  I thought I would share my suggestions for a new agent.

Watch successful producers from your organization and mimic them.  They already have proven systems in place.  I didn't say copy their material, refine processes, making them fit your requirements. You need to know your market.  You won't get to know the market watching television soap operas or reality TV shows. Preview homes, know as many as possible.. intimately.  If someone calls, you are capable to describe the property since you took copious notes during the preview. Send email blasts to clients whenever you … (23 comments)
