realtors: Fellow REALTORS Realtor.com Website Update Allows You to Create a Profile FREE - 04/28/11 11:24 AM
Just in case Realtor.com did not send anyone an email and or you deleted an email from them thinking it was not important and you were too busy negotiating to deal with extras, then if you have not done so already, you will want to create an account and profile with your picture and contact information. Otherwise when the consumer goes to "Find a Realtor near you" on Realtor.com, you and they will probably not  be impressed by what they are finding about you.  No picture no information and a broken link. Yikes not very impressive for such a big website is it?  And … (1 comments)

realtors: Washington Realtors More Free Help with ShortSales, Foreclosures and REO's - 02/02/10 01:26 PM
I have to hand it to NAR, and our state's Washington Association of Realtors (WAR) for trying to get us the Right Tools Right Now.  As I previously mentioned there are three free videos at www.warealtor.org at the home page under the menu Education and then the second selection down is the videos by our legal hotline author Attorney Annie Fitzsimmons, but there are also free webinars at www.realtorsfr.org.  Three of the many webinar options are required to ensure you will get an SFR certification, but the website is offering this information free to anyone.  Go to the button that says … (0 comments)

realtors: Realtors Do You Read the Realtor Magazine You Get Every Month? - 01/11/10 07:01 AM
For years I would receive the Realtors magazines and throw them in a pile and ignore them.  Then I saw something in my ABR handout saying READ the Realtor magazine every month.  I thought ok I will read it with my morning tea or coffee, after all that is something free I can do.  After the first few months I made it a habit to read through the all literature that arrives.  It has made a big difference in my knowledge base.

The magazine typically has articles that discuss our economic landscape from Lawrence Yun. There are articles that discuss the history of the … (7 comments)

realtors: Washington Realtors Did You Know about 35R and Lender Fraud - 12/15/09 12:56 PM
I reviewed a legal bulletin today that was posted in the Northwest Multiple Listing Service this year that really caught my attention. Whenever I see the words "real estate agents may innocently be" next to the phrase "conducting mortgage fraud" in a legal bulletin,  it really gets my attention.    The bulletin warned about conducting mortgage fraud.  Here I may point out that fraud equates to knowingly and it is very interesting that the author associates those two terms. After all "innocent" and "fraud" are two words that are not considered synonyms.
Regardless of the choice of words used to describe this issue this is a … (2 comments)

realtors: Guilt the Gift that just Keeps on Giving - 12/14/09 06:10 AM
Do you feel guilty about all the things you as an agent should be doing?  Sometimes I read information about how a successful agent should be doing this, that and the other thing.  Goodness Gracious I would be dead if I could do half of these lists because I would never have time to sleep.  I could very well find myself literally asleep at the wheel by implementing a work load such as some of these authors are suggesting.
With all the information bombarding us from the Information Super Highway here are some methods for integrating them into your world with out having a nervous … (2 comments)

realtors: Not Only the Sigma 10-20mm but also the 70-300mm Telephoto Lens - 05/30/09 03:22 AM
Based on the discussion regarding the Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens for Nikon F Mount Digital SLR cameras for showing off interior rooms, I whole heartedly agree.  It makes the rooms look fantastic.  Where I live in the beautiful Methow Valley this lens is also great for a one shot pan of the mountains if you are close up to them.  What about if the mountains are in the distance and present a beautiful landscape? I could not believe it when I found a Telephoto Zoom lens for just $115.  This sigma 70-300mm lens works great for showing the landscape of some … (1 comments)
