daytona beach: Suggest Button - Do You Abuse It? - 09/25/10 05:14 PM
I love the suggest button and its also fabulous to see many new faces on the dashboard. On top of that with the ability to call the shots, I wonder do people abuse it?  I myself have called the shots 5 times and I really value that privilege then again I was the sicko who enjoyed doing the Week in Review back in the day. 

I receive a lot of emails everyday requesting that I call the shot..the truth is no matter who you are, the content has to be entertaining and well written for me to click the button.

daytona beach: June 2006 - I Was An Activerain Newbie - Today Ghostwriter | Social Media and Real Estate Trainer - 06/04/10 05:14 PM

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
June 2006 I started my journey on the Activerain real estate network.  Yes I participated in forums and social sites before but none of them have impacted my life like Activerain.  When I joined I solely trained for CENTURY 21 Sundance Realty and occasionally jumped into sales...

daytona beach: Did You Know Its A Violation To Get A Tattoo in Daytona Beach? - 05/14/10 05:25 AM
I'm a little upset with the city of Daytona Beach and local government...it kills me we live in one of the most beautiful places on the East Coast with some of the friendliest and hard working people.  There are thousands in our city several times a year due to our tourism.  They visit, they spend their money..we are priviledged to have this opportunity. 
The Harsh Reality of Living in Daytona Beach The sad part is condo's are vacant and so are many houses.  People struggle to pay their bills and there is the homeless and cut backs and clearly you can … (8 comments)

daytona beach: Dealing With Bank of America: A Consumer Perspective - 03/10/10 12:47 AM
If you remember it was just a few days ago that I posted about Bank of America and how a Daytona Beach real estate seller is still getting billed...still receiving phone calls...and cannot file their taxes due to mishandling of their short sale in the closing department....
A little update...and dealing with Bank of America: A consumer perspective All of us including the seller, myself and the title company have tried to provide information to Bank of America in order to close out a short sale that closed and recorded in November...

daytona beach: Remember Real Estate Is A People To People Business - 03/01/10 11:08 PM
When working with agents sometimes I need to set the record straight...there is some myth that you can sit behind your keyword all day...everyday....and create an abundance of business.....enough business to support yourself throughout the year...while it can happen if you are a Zillow.com or a Trulia.com but as an individual trying to earn a good living...I'm here to tell you that real estate is a people to people business.  Sometimes all you need to do to take your business to the next level is get in front of more people.

daytona beach: Shift in 2010 - 01/06/10 12:51 AM
Slowly I update my online presence, its painful but necessary with a brand new year ahead of us.  I didn't have to read a book to tell me to change the direction of my business..I just looked in my pocket book...and at the reflection of myself in the mirror.  I knew I had to make a change....in truth...several changes.
I am no longer with CENTURY 21 Sundance Realty, it was a hard decision but when all is said and done it makes perfect sense.  My passion is not to sell real estate but to train agents...and write.

daytona beach: Marketing Your Listings To Anyone and Everyone! - 11/14/09 03:08 AM
Some interesting ongoing debates...throughout the blogosphere...people seem to STILL feel contempt towards the big dawgs...you know REALTOR.com.....Zillow and Trulia....
A question was posed to me...why send them to these places when they should be hitting your site...the point is CONSUMERS should be hitting your site...no debate here BUT when I think of what we do as listing agents...our job is to market listings to anyone and everyone and if that means its not your site?  It's bad and wrong????
To give a seller a fighting chance with global exposure from various places...selecting high traffic...known sources of where real estate buyers and … (16 comments)

daytona beach: 3 Days Away From The Internet And My Life Didn't End! - 09/22/09 02:03 PM
Somehow, someway I have lost all balance with my online marketing.  I'm here and there and spending many many hours online every single day.
I know what goes on with many of my online friends and I keep up to date on all kinds of information and sometimes I get lost in my virtual world. 
Is this happening to you?    
It was three years ago...I got hot and heavy with the Internet.  I mean real hot and heavy!  So hot and heavy that anywhere that I went...and all I thought about was there Internet access available?

9:38 pm placed property listing on Craigslist.....10:20 pm...a question from a potential buyer...this morning...3 more questions.

daytona beach: There Are Occasions Where Your Opinion Doesn't Count- Less Is More! - 03/19/09 11:48 PM
I subscribe to many blogs..blogs outside the rain..and there seems to be something quite common which really makes no sense to me.  When addressing everyone on the world wide net some feel it is necessary to always voice their opinion and there are occasions your opinion doesn't count..or maybe for the proper use of words..your opinion should not count..or voiced or expressed. 
Sounds like a fight right?  Think again..just an observation that I made...

daytona beach: A Litte Nostalgia- A Little Business-Do You Facebook? - 03/04/09 11:24 PM
I love facebook...as a matter of fact..if I am not blogging... there is a good chance you will find me there.  I've connected with many people and some from the past...high school..baseball...cheer leading...and dance partners.

 
In my freshman year of high school I was very shy..was very intimidated by the opposite sex. 
As I think about it..it makes me laugh..when you talk to me and if you know me..you know I can be pretty bold.
Now in high school..there was a fellow Rolando..a young man I never forgot...see at homecoming..he asked me to dance..poor guy..he didn't know it...but I … (39 comments)

daytona beach: REALTOR Goes To Court And Gives Judge Thumbs UP! - 02/06/09 12:32 AM
Recently I went to court not because I am in trouble...but someone important to me...our real estate seller!  See they live about 6 hours away..and yes the process of foreclosure has started.  Laid off..injured car (needs repairs) and could not make the trip. So what was this seller to do?
They Asked Me To Appear in Court! Rather than no one appearing...I told them to type a letter..and if the judge will even acknowledge me..and read the seller's letter...there might be some hope to get the offer they received ..to the closing table...all we need is time..time to get the short … (92 comments)

daytona beach: When Your Customer Asks-May I Speak To Midori-AKA-THE MANAGER? Communication Breakdown! - 01/25/09 04:55 AM
This post was written in 2007 and today while rereading it..I thought it was worth repeating for a couple of reasons. Its nothing new but packed with info and truth... you take a risk when your customer feels they must talk to the manager...somewhere...somehow communication broke down and there is usually and underlying issue of why a customer becomes upset.
Take these thoughts and compare them to your current listings.because that is what I do prior to talking with the customer...and I do...dissect that listing and all the documents before I pick up the phone....I can tell you in most instances...these … (7 comments)

daytona beach: A Harsh Conversation With My Dad-The Holiday Blues! - 12/22/08 06:10 AM

 
My parents are enjoying their new home in Alabama.  When my dad got on the phone on Friday..
I started to cry...during the holiday season I am usually this way and I've been this way since I was a little girl...

daytona beach: Sports Fans Do You Have A Favorite Game Day T-Shirt, Jersey or Ritual? - 11/25/08 11:13 PM
As a young girl I loved baseball..as a matter of fact..I wore a Phillies baseball cap and watched the game with my biological father..When Ritchie Allen was up to bat.. I would jump up and cross my fingers, stand by the t.v. and repeat over and over again..."Ritchie Allen hit a home run!"  Sometimes it worked...and as a kid..it was magic..when he hit the ball over the fence..I did it...I wished it and I really believed that.
While I never wore a game jersey or t-shirt..one thing I have to admit..we really tried to watch every game because if we didn't … (6 comments)
