realtor: Do Not Discount Craigslist! - 05/15/09 01:43 AM
9:38 pm placed property listing on Craigslist.....10:20 pm...a question from a potential buyer...this morning...3 more questions. 

 
While it might be questions...questions can turn into communication...which can turn into potential buyers and sellers.
The more you circulate your listings the better your chances are into turning them into sold!
With all the hoopla and negativity circulating around Craigslist...do not discount the value! One of the hotshots in our office...gets most of her property inquires right there.

realtor: Its A Doggy Dog World In Real Estate Today-CYA - 04/22/09 06:06 PM
I swear sometimes I think that some people involved in real estate transactions today..do not realize the true value of services we all provide.  Often times the buying and selling process is downplayed by so many...until something goes wrong and then automatically people are pointing fingers and ask who's to blame? 
We urge people to use REALTORS because of our Code of Ethics... but many fail to realize that real estate today is a doggy dog world and they forget a couple of things...one of the major roles we play is providing protection..not just for a seller but a buyer as … (22 comments)

realtor: Judge Ruled Short Sale Extension-Thanks Your Honor Another 60 Days! - 02/11/09 11:05 AM
If you recall I posted about attending court on behalf of a seller...fortunately for us...the attorney did not show..we now have submitted our short sale package...and if it gets accepted we have little to worry about.

 
Last week our top producer called me...she has a beautiful listing..and with an offer...but the bank gave her a hard time..and the offer was not accepted..
As she finished her story I reminded her I had gone to court for my customer..  When she heard this...her ears perked up she could not wait to hear the outcome because a date had been set … (10 comments)

realtor: Are You The Only Gig In Town-Service That Exceeds Expectations! - 02/04/09 11:45 PM
I love my bank...as a matter of fact recently they have added $20.00 into my account..all because I use my check card often..when I walk in...they are warm..cordial and always wanting to assist!  When I call them they answer my questions or when I make an inquiry on line...I can count on a response within 24 hours.  I know they appreciate me..because when I walk in the door..not one but most will greet you before you get in line!
Service that exceeds my expectations...Smiles and No Ridiculous Bank Fees! Right now we are putting together a short sale package and another … (7 comments)

realtor: Just How Many Shortsale Trainers Are There Truly? - 01/18/09 11:39 PM
This is classic and I found interesting..I know there are many who have been doing short sales long before it was popular..I am one of those people.
It seems when someone is selling a product..or would like to do a training...somehow...someway..those calls come to me!  On Friday..I was contacted by a "TRAINER"  not just any trainer...but yet...another Short Sale trainer! 
Friday was our lucky day...it seems the group they were training Saturday morning... the entire group canceled..and wanted me to find out if I could fill the session!  HA now that is pretty funny considering it was less than a 24 … (14 comments)

realtor: So You Want To Rent A Shortsale?....Be Very Careful! - 10/15/08 10:39 PM
It seems leases must be expiring in our part of town because so many potential renters have been calling...calling on homes for sale...to rent...and in many instances...they are calling on short sales.  Is it because the home is vacant?  I do believe it is.
Renters Be Very Careful! When I first moved to Daytona Beach, I rented a condo and after some time..being almost a year...a foreclosure notice came in..want to talk about stressful?  It was...and we moved but not before getting guidance from a sheriff and a lawyer.
Little did we know...the mortgage wasn't being paid or the condo fees … (21 comments)

realtor: A Little History of Daytona Beach Area Association of REALTORS - 09/08/08 11:16 AM

 
 
The history of the Daytona Beach Area Association of REALTORS can be traced back as far a 1922. 
It was in 1922 the Daytona Beach area received its charter from the national and state governing bodies.
With less than 20 members they struggled on the same issues that we face today. 
Attracting industry, yes we need commerce desperately, promoting tourism..
Yes we still are known for the World's Most Famous Beach and the most important issue then and still remains..
To improve the quality of life for our residents.  Although we have our trials and tribulations right now..

realtor: Fellow Real-i-tor or Sol-ic-i-tor or Both? A Few Selling Tips! - 05/08/08 03:39 PM
Recently my phone has been ringing off the hook, my e-mail is packed, meetings to attend, training to be done..and that does not include my internet marketing..I could go on and on. I'm Busy, B-U-S-Y!

I had a customer texting me, a new message pops up while I am sitting on hold and me sending an e-mail at the same time.  Wouldn't you know it...my cell phone rang again...
I answered, not thrilled because I knew I was going to have to go outside to hear them but I was surprised referrals, nice, a fellow real-i-tor wanting to talk to me, wait … (13 comments)

realtor: "Are You Currently Working With A Realtor?" Oopsie I Forgot to Ask? - 09/23/07 09:55 AM
This morning I sat through a mock arbitration and mediation.  Its amazing to me what you can learn from your local Board of Realtors.  Nancy Dance did a great job but I have to say, it was ruled that David Wyant was awarded the $33,000 commission. 
Keep in mind this was a mock mediation and arbitration.
 
While there I learned something new that made me realize I do believe many Realtors are Violating the Code of Ethics. 
"The National Association of Realtors, Code of Ethics."
One of the responsibilities of a Realtor is to protect the public from harm. 
 Failing to ask that important … (109 comments)

realtor: Learn To Be Your Biggest Fan....Self Promote! - 08/16/07 07:01 PM

 
 
Did you know that the magic number of the estimated world population is 6,612,227,120 ?  I'd say there is plenty of business to go around all we have to do is go after it and seek it!    
Did you know there are approximately 302,623,872 people in the United States?  I still think with the United States population alone there still is plenty of business to go around, again all we have to do is go after it and seek it.  
 
Name recognition is so important in business.  With over  1.3 million members of the National Association of Realtors.  How … (49 comments)

realtor: I Confess...I Have Been Spending Weekend's with Neal Bloom! - 07/03/07 10:21 AM
 
 
Yes my husband knows and now refers to him as my on-line boyfriend, he has come to terms with the fact, not only do I spend my weekends with him but I also spend a couple hours a week on the phone and we chat through e-mail.  Yes I am guilty, ohhhh so guilty.  So when my husband confronted me with this I had no other choice but to confess.  Yes honey,  I have been spending weekend's with Neal Bloom and I have Activerain to thank for that. 
OK, it's not what it appears, let me explain.  I actually got to know Neal through Lysa Napolitano and … (60 comments)

realtor: Blog Fog....Does It Happen to You! - 03/13/07 07:47 AM
  Since blogging I have been pretty consistent and probably average at least 2 blogs per week.  I want to write quality blogs and I want them read and comments too.  You could say I expect a lot.  Normally when I write I do get comments and my posts are read but the problem is I have a case of "Blog Fog!"  Does this ever happen to you?
Blog Fog can be recurring and can be harmful to your business. So what is Blog Fog?
It happens something like this.........You sit in front of your computer every day attempting to post something … (11 comments)
