FlipFire.com - A new site created in Arkansas - 03/31/09 11:11 PM
I was flipping through Citiscapes, a local magazine in my area (I live in Northwest Arkansas) and came across an interesting ad. Upload videos and earn points. Trade points in for cash. It caught my attention and I went to the site. I am still learning about it and uploading some of my real estate videos as I am writing this blog post. I am not sure who created the site but it is nicely done. Not sure how it is different from YouTube yet; but I am always open to trying new things! I upload my listing videos to other … (1 comments)

Looking for great marketing tools? Check out this video maker - "Animoto" - 03/27/09 09:38 AM
I was doing some research on some new tools out there to better my marketing skills and how I present listings... I know there are a LOT of products out there and my goal is to do things "different".

When was the last time you did something nice for another... for no reason at all... Random Acts of Kindness - 03/23/09 10:44 PM
When I was in College at the University of Arkansas I did a speech on "Random Acts of Kindness" in one of my communications classes. I began the speech by handing out roses to the other students in the class. It sort of took them all by shock but it put a smile on their face and got their attention... I have always enjoyed making others happy. One of my favorite quotes is "Be the change you wish to see in the world" - Mahatma Gandhi
Defined by Wikipedia: A random act of kindness is a selfless act performed by a person or … (8 comments)

Northwest Arkansas Real Estate Market Report for February-March 2009 - 03/16/09 04:12 PM

The Real Estate Market in Northwest Arkansas is picking up! In the past month I have been busier than any other year that I have been in the business. Granted... it takes a bit more effort these days to sell a home & longer hours with buyers to find the perfect home... But overall - things are great! It is hard to believe when all you hear is negativity in the media... (I try hard not to listen to that... possibly why I am so busy... I have never bought into the negativity!) Anyway I wanted to get these charts and … (2 comments)

Top tips for getting your home ready to Sell! - 03/16/09 12:43 PM
Top tips for getting your home ready to sell...
Make sure your home is super clean DE-CLUTTER (this includes cleaning closets, pantry, everything... buyers do look in drawers and although you might not think it matters, IT DOES!) A Clean, De-cluttered Home is a HAPPY HOME and buyers like Happy homes! Remove everything off of your fridge! YES everything that includes that cute photo your little girl/boy did in school last week. I tell my sellers... just picture it up in your new home! Sooner if you take it down!!! Remove personal photos (as much as possible) sometimes I think some … (3 comments)
