np dodge: $6,500 is yours even if you don't sell your current personal residence! - 01/11/10 07:04 AM
I just spent an hour on hold with the Internal Revenue Service to gain clarity on something and here is what I found out:

A: No. If you meet all of the requirements for the credit, the law does not require you to sell or otherwise dispose of your current principal residence to qualify for a credit of up to $6,500 when you buy a replacement home to use as your principal residence. … (4 comments)

np dodge: 'Pro Active Chat' Intrusive or a value add for a website user? - 10/22/09 04:19 AM
First impressions have always been lasting so why should anything be different on a website? Why shouldn't the people behind the website reach out to the very users that are searching and do it in real time when their attention is focused?  We have been wrestling with this concept here at NP Dodge where a consumer can strike up a live chat with one of our licensed Realtors® and engage us in conversation but what happens when we engage the user?  Will they be scared off? Do they want to remain anonymous while they browse Bank Owned Homes or Career Information … (0 comments)

np dodge: Print Advertising - 07/10/08 08:42 AM
Do you know how much money you or your brokerage is spending on print advertising? A better question might be; do you know what the return is on the money that is spent on print advertising?  I figure the Active Rain community no doubt has some strong opinions around this. Below is an example of a property that was listed by an NP Dodge agent using only the free technology tools provided free through the brokerage.  Pay close attention to the captions during the show.
