midori miller: Real Estate Bar Camp - South Florida - Are You Going? - 10/06/11 03:24 PM
So I have a confession...yes I am a virgin...A ReBar Camp Virgin. While there have been numerous opportunities, I've either had to cancel or could not make due to previous obligations. I am so excited to finally attend one.
I think one of the things that really interest me is the opportunity to see many of the tech savvy REALTORS who will be attending who have been my friends off line and online. Not only see them but network and participate in a non-conference. Very exciting 2 me plus go back to my old stomping grounds!

midori miller: CRS,ABR,CDPE,ALC,CCIM,CRS,CRE - WHAT? Really? Wait There's More! - 08/02/11 05:00 PM
OK, don't laugh but I see this all over the net. I guess I notice these things more since I am no longer a REALTOR and tend to look at the Internet marketing of REALTORS as a consumer. So lets dig a little deeper and without your REALTOR hat ok?
CRS,ABR,CDPE,ALC,CCIM,CRS,CRE -There is More Where These Came From As a consumer? What the heck is all that? What does it mean? They sound important but what do all the letters mean? Why do some agents only have a few? Could this be their license #? HUH?
OK, I hope you get … (59 comments)

midori miller: I Need A Little Help From My Friends - I Love You Mom - Cullman Alabama Tornado Victims - 05/08/11 09:05 AM
Its been some time since I posted but I can't help to think this is the perfect place to send my mom Mothers Day wishes and ask my friends for a little help. This Mothers Day is really different with a lot of happiness and a little sadness. I have to share and want my mom to know just how much I love her.
My mom and dad took us in when we were little and raised as their own. They had 5 kids of their own and gave us all a good life but it seems my mom and dad … (4 comments)

midori miller: Market Leader and Activerain - Why Does It Matter? - 10/07/10 11:13 AM
Why is this always such a big deal? AR is AR to me...worried? Why? It seems this is one of the few communities that explains itself...that's great...but what is all the fuss? Do you explain your investments?
Market Leader has been a wonderful tool for some..one of the girls I coach has used it and gotten her money back BUT she dumped it..why too costly for each month, maybe Market Leader should look at that and pay attention to the comments made in Jons post. Its a great tool if you cannot generate enough leads for some they simply want more.

midori miller: Suggest Button - Do You Abuse It? - 09/26/10 12:14 AM
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.

midori miller: Listing Agents - Low Ball Offers Where Exactly Would You Like Negotiations To Begin? - 09/21/10 09:22 AM
There is always a conversation going on about low ball offers, and many times listing agents feel the buyers agent did not do their job in presenting the facts. If you have ever worked with investors you know...they would submit what one would refer to as a low ball offer..for some reason low ball offers never bothered me... as a matter of fact, I call it, the start of negotiations and its something that probably has occurred since the inception of real estate.
Low Ball Offers - The Starting Point Low ball offers have never offended me except when they are … (19 comments)

midori miller: Take Advantage of a Open House - Its A Relationship Building Opportunity - 09/18/10 07:34 PM
Scenerio: You have a listing that's been on the market less than the average market time..this property is a townhome and is a couple of years old, yup there is new construction going on right within the community not only townhomes but single family homes with pricing as competitive to the current listing. Dang, no bites and sitting at the house with the sellers is extremely uncomfortable. Very little conversation, the sellers are disappointed and the agent feels horrible for disappointing the seller.
The agent has done extensive Internet marketing and priced the property properly, the sellers already reduced their price … (15 comments)

midori miller: One Classy Dame - 08/26/10 12:09 PM
The early days of Activerain was a great place to be. It was a time of building and growing and learning. Never did I gripe about the featured board because I knew that the moderators were people like you and me...hard working...and not paid but volunteering their time to help this network grow. Laurie Manny was one of them...the classy dame!
The moderators had it tough and some moderators were tough, the classy dame, Laurie Manny had a way to set people straight...who was very direct and honest and who mentored many who in turn shared with all of us. I … (20 comments)

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!

midori miller: Voyeuristic By Nature- Facebook Edgerank Will Matter! - 05/25/10 03:05 AM
Let's think about your first cell phone and how it has changed throughout the years in it's appearance and its capabilities. Think about television and music and how far technology has changed allowing us to download it and play. I watch the latest movies on the computer....and I do it for FREE!
Go back in time on the web where yahoo was the coolest thing ever invented...before blogs...before social networks....yes there were chat rooms and forums and interactions.

midori miller: Alphabet Soup or Real Estate Designations! - 05/20/10 08:53 PM
As you know that there are more and more real estate designations popping up. Not only are designations given by NAR, independent training companies as well as real estate companies issue designations. Recently while reviewing an agents site I think I came on to something. I have to share.....
At one time I felt that real estate designations where not important, while we know in the industry they mean something...the initials that is...rarely did I ever really pay attention.
Alphabet Soup or Real Estate Designations? But as I started reading the criteria in which an agent must obtain these simple initials...the … (14 comments)

midori miller: Does My Facebook Settings Bother You? Check Out ReclaimPrivacy.org - 05/17/10 11:29 PM
I'm splattered all over the net from my real estate business license to personal information that other sites accumulate...does it bother me sometimes.
At least Facebookallows you to change your settings!
Does My FACEBOOK settings bother you? Check out ReclaimPrivacy.org
Let's get real if I really wanted to be private I guess I wouldn't be on the net or I wouldn't expose myself the way that I have throughout the years. Today nothing is private and if you have lots of friends online there is a chance they may be sharing your personal information and you might not be aware of … (22 comments)

midori miller: Did You Know Its A Violation To Get A Tattoo in Daytona Beach? - 05/14/10 12:25 PM
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)

midori miller: How To Make A Reblog Your Own! - 04/20/10 02:30 PM
Oh, the topic of reblog always surfaces for various reasons. I find that many of the articles I write are reblogged and sometimes very often. I love it and appreciate it but sometimes the reblogger is short changing themselves.
Reblog | Repeat | Relive | Revive | Revisit | Recoupe | Reproduce In most cases people re blog articles because of the quality of content and because it can be beneficial not only in saving time but also important information for their clients and customers.

midori miller: Real Estate Is Technical Warfare! - 04/17/10 11:53 AM
Creating your place on the web is extremely important...finding your voice...your favorite places to socialize....consistency....and the time spent is crucial too. Many people on the net are the Curious George type. At least I can speak for myself....when I am looking to purchase something...I don't just run to one site...I look around...and the site I select...is not based on domain name...or the first site I come across...I got to get that warm....fuzzy feeling...no not girlie but a comfort...based on information..and content found on the site...I want to see ratings...I want to see guarantees...I want to feel the trust through the world … (63 comments)

midori miller: Bring Toilet Paper When Showing Houses - 03/30/10 07:52 AM
I've been working with a real estate agent out of the area in regards to real estate training. Most recently I had to laugh when we did the buyer series, the routine question after we are done, did you get anything out of the training? The one thing that stuck in her mind was bring toilet paper when showing houses.
I know not the subject most people want to talk about but lets get real when mother nature calls there is no stopping her. Just think about a couple of things.
How many times have you gone into a listing and … (146 comments)
