daytona: The Good Ole Summertime - Vacationing With The Turners! - 06/25/10 10:32 AM
The good ole summertime Vacationing With The Turners -  I swear no one documents a summer vacation like Jeff Turner and his family...how can you not feel close to them, its as if I get to travel with them and it didn't cost me a dime!  Everywhere they stop it seems they snap a photo or add a video of relevance to what is happening on their vaca.  They promote Jeff's hometown and for a few years now...I look forward to their summer vacation..sometimes I feel like I am literally with them...I have a good time. BTW his latest video..the postcard … (10 comments)

daytona: Do People Get Lost In Your Words? - 01/25/10 09:18 PM
Are you a Google analytics user?  If not you should be.  How can you gage the success of your website and blogs if you do not understand their effectiveness or better yet what is your intent and what do you want as your end result?  Readers...subscribers...$$$$$....Do people get lost in your words?

What I mean by this is the time spent on your site and where the heck are they going after they are filled with your words...do people take action?  Meaning...maybe view MLS listings | request a cma or contact you via email or phone? Do they buy a … (44 comments)

daytona: Google Local Business Maps - I'm In Love! - 12/16/09 11:06 AM
Bill Gassett wrote an awesome featured post just a few days ago... "Free SEO Through Google Local Business Pages" Today I was talking to an agent and they had never heard of this.  A few weeks ago an agent asked me how do people get up there on those maps. :)
Google Local Business Maps-I'm in love... My name is uncommon but it has over 5,450,000 searches on the search term Midori and guess what I am on the first page of google....before Wikepedia, before the porn star...before the secret computer operating system..this little real estate trainer...did what all real estate … (13 comments)

daytona: Breaking My Activerain Addiction! Midori Is Going To AR Rehab! - 07/26/08 02:51 AM
It's time...2 years...being on the rain faithfully everyday..sometimes all day...just about any day you will find me on the rain.
Will it be easy?  Nope..I'll miss my friends...the interactions..and most of all writing on the rain. I love Activerain but I am consumed..consumed with unfinished projects...new projects and everyday life.
Why the shift?  I've grown, I've changed and I am ready...ready to expand and grow and follow my dreams!
Many have asked why did it take you so long?  It was fear...plain and simple and I never really gave it thought as to what I wanted out of blogging and writing … (30 comments)

daytona: Buyer Broker Agreements-Its Not Always About The Deposit! - 07/23/08 07:04 AM
There always seems to be a great debate on buyer broker agreements. Do you provide a buyer's consultation?  If not you should!  Why would you make the assumption that a buyer knows every step of the process.  Even if they say they do...often times they do not!  Funny thing, we never do this to a real estate seller and on many occasions buyers get shortchanged and we wonder why so many dislike real estate agents.

 
Through out the years I have learned many lessons when it comes to buyers and their commitment to buy real estate. 
Don't assume because … (62 comments)

Have you ever had to deal with a expecting father? I've dealt with a few but tonight I slightly understand how you fella's feel.  It's nerve wracking, I'm concerned I wonder if I should call the mother to be.

daytona: Real Estate Professionals Sometimes You Just Have To Withdraw Those Overpriced Listings! - 04/05/08 10:50 PM
Sometimes being a Real Estate Trainer can be quite frustrating, not that different from a real estate professional or a buyer or seller. For me, its painful to watch an agent take a listing for a year...to spend a years worth of marketing and still no sales contract and then come to me and ask why their listing hasn't sold.
Once we go through the file..I notice..overpriced...no price reduction in sight..unsaleable..sometimes uncooperative....darn it...get smart and withdraw that listing!

Since starting the second quarter...I have been watching our inventory..and I am shocked as to how few listings we have as a company..until … (32 comments)

daytona: Buyers and Seller's Need Real Estate Soldiers! - 03/19/08 11:40 AM
A little dose of inspiration is sometimes in order.  Today I had an incredible day.  Very busy and very productive.  Funny thing I didn't feel that way just a few days ago.

Now the agents in my office are working hard, harder than ever before but I see the discouragement, the disappointment and the unknown, you can't miss it's written all over their face.  
I sometimes have days where I wonder why bother? Who cares? They don't...Why should I?
But for some reason I keep plugging away. I keep learning...and fighting and trying new ways. One of the things I learned … (23 comments)

daytona: My First Concert-A Tribute To My Sister Crystal - 03/12/08 03:15 PM

One of the things I loved growing up I was the youngest daughter, it was a good position to be in. As a matter of fact, I saved myself a lot of heartache and trouble by watching my older sisters. I have to say my sister Crystal got me out of trouble more than one time. In school, at home and with the boys, you have to understand..can't say I was real swift as a kid. I was clumsy, very shy and very sheltered. My brother's called me Alisk the goon, queen of the thrown and Memorex.
In the 9th grade … (22 comments)

daytona: CENTURY 21 International Convention..A Newbie Perspective! Do You Believe In Your Brand? - 03/10/08 02:35 PM

Since relocating to Daytona Beach, I have enjoyed my career as a company trainer, a sales manager and mediocre recruiter for CENTURY 21 Sundance Realty. 
I say mediocre because sometimes if you don't believe in your product it can be a hard sell. 
One of the things about recruiting...I don't try to sell the brand...I sell our company, Nancy Dance the owner and the reputation of the company which she holds dear to her heart. 
Sometimes when recruiting...those things are just not enough..that is where the brand comes in...
When I train, I train real estate and how it is practiced...I don't train corporate...I don't train the brand..after-all CENTURY 21 was … (7 comments)

Luis,
I have tried to write this post several times trying to explain our love affair.
The truth is there were so many twists and turns that I must have started over 25 times.
Valentines Day to me is every day with you...I have learned life gives us little surprises..
Gotta treat each day as if it is your last you just never know! No regrets!...No Guts...No Glory!
Although I might complain about the text messages or the way you worry.
In all honesty, I love it and appreciate it more than you will ever know. I have this comfort...a real nice … (17 comments)

A while back Jonathan had posted about the programmer's working on outside blogs...he wanted tester's...at the time some would say I spent too much time on the rain...reading...writing...and social networking.  That night...I saw him post and guess what I commented and now I was on the list to test the outside blogs. Yahooooooo!  I was at the right place at the right time on Activerain.

Yesterday I had the privilege to meet Matt, Lydia and Caleb.  They had put together a wonderful bash at Logan's Road House Grill in Orlando, Florida. 
I had the opportunity to really get to know these 3 people and imagine they flew all the way from Washington to meet me!  OK, I would like to think that but I have to tell you they all made me feel that way.
Before meeting them, I kinda read their post, you know skim the surface of their posts and only comment when I wanted something or needed something, meaning me giving input in a … (20 comments)
