Who wants to move to Florida?
That's a question I'm asking Crofton Maryland residents throughout this month and next.

crofton md: Two New Grandbabies In One Month! - 01/04/08 09:58 PM
For the past few days, I've been a little slow with acknowledging your comments... with good reason.  I've been spending a lot of time at the hospital with my son and daughter-in-law, who just had their first baby, Jack Lawrence.  We're very fortunate to have them nearby, in Northern Virginia - about … (32 comments)

Choosing a real estate agent is a lot easier than it was a year ago.  There's a new criteria, and not many agents qualify.

crofton md: Reminders for Halloween Safety - 10/30/07 08:49 AM
Keep the REAL spooks out of your children's Halloween night by taking these precautions.
1.  Accompany children when they go trick-or-treating - If they're a little older, stand back so you're not "lurking", but don't let a pedophile take advantage of this great opportunity to troll for vulnerable kids.  Adolescents are not too … (9 comments)

crofton md: How To Be Perceived As A Real Estate Expert - or NOT - 09/20/07 06:40 PM
You know what they say... "Perception is Reality."
THINK DR. PHIL.  There's nothing magical about his advice that makes it any better than the same advice from another therapist with comparable training.  He doesn't have an exclusive lock on knowledge or experience in his field.  Yet, without ever saying "I'm an expert", Dr. Phil … (35 comments)

Because of ActiveRain, I know answers to questions I didn't even know I had.  (What does SEO mean?  Blog, what's that? What's a widget, why do I want one, how to I get one?  How do I make a nice graph like Brian does?  Where can I find free graphics that … (23 comments)

crofton md: How to Get Business by Farming Your Market Niche - 08/27/07 05:04 AM
IS THERE A MAGIC FORMULA FOR SELECTING A FARM? 
Of course there is a magic formula!  That's one of the reasons why some agents' farms are more successful than others.  You just can't expect to earn a living by mailing to 250 homes with a 2% turnover rate.  "I live here, so I farm here" is … (44 comments)

crofton md: Hug Your Past Clients (Don't Take Them for Granted) - 08/26/07 09:06 AM
Do you ever take past clients for granted?  I confess, I'm embarrassed to admit it, I sometimes do.  (But that's going to change in the next few days because I'm going to reach out and "hug" my past clients!)
That realization is just one of the many "lightbulb moments" I experienced this week … (27 comments)

crofton md: Curb Appeal Counts More Today Than Ever Before - 07/24/07 09:48 AM
Crofton real estate is alive and well, if the activity I've experienced in recent weeks is any indication.  But the inventory of available properties is much higher than we've seen in recent years, so buyers have several homes to consider.  Showing so many homes in the same price range has reminded … (8 comments)

crofton md: HOMEBUYER INCENTIVES - Will they help sell your home (or your listing)? - 07/16/07 07:38 AM
You have the best home on the block, the best block in the neighborhood, and the best neighborhood in your county.  But... Is that enough to sell your home quickly, at top dollar, in today's buyer's market? 
After years of touring homes with qualified non-contingent buyers, I have to offer an evasive answer of … (13 comments)

crofton md: I'm a 5-house girl! - 07/14/07 08:43 PM
FIVE is the magic number in my book! 
 
 
Five houses before lunch... Five houses after lunch... Five houses a day...  Five different areas... Five homes in a particular neighborhood...   Five houses in any combination, but ONLY FIVE at one time.   That's my limit, and I'm sticking to it because I'm a 5-house girl!  
Except, of course, when buyers arrive for their … (19 comments)

crofton md: If Dracula's castle was YOUR listing... - 07/03/07 05:38 PM
Crofton real estate is pretty tame - nothing like this property, currently on the market for sale:
One of literature's most famous vampires must be turning over in his grave because his favorite haunt (pun intended) is on the market for sale.
