buyer agent: 12-12-3 Buyer Plan. See 24 Homes, Make 3 Offers - 12/13/11 10:03 AM
I'm sure you've heard of 9-9-9.  Herman Cain's catchy name for his tax proposal.
It inspired me to come up with a catchy name for what I've been doing for the 12 years I've been a buyer's agent.
I call my system the "12-12-3 Buyer Plan"
Quite simply, I want you to see 12 homes in three hours on day one. Then see another 12 homes in three hours on day 2. Then make 3 offers on your top three at the same time and let the sellers compete for your business.
It's Bold.  It allows you to be Decisive. It brings Clarity to … (6 comments)

buyer agent: Want a Great Deal? Don't Call the Agent with all of the Signs - 09/16/08 10:50 AM

buyer agent: Bottles of Cold Water for my Buyers. Easy yet Memorable - 12/11/06 12:27 PM
Probably most of you  already offer this to your buyers but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
When I'm taking out buyers, I always try to take along my small soft pack cooler that has a few bottles of water and coke.  I throw in a few of those soft freezer ice packs and my drinks stay nice and cool even in the middle of summer.
It seems to make a nice initial impression with new clients.  If I remember, I'll try to find out what drink they prefer ahead of time so I can have it stocked in my little cooler.
On hot … (4 comments)
