The real estate market has slowed down for many agents over the past 4-5 years. Some agents have opted to pursue another career by leaving the industry, some decided to add a second field or take on a part time job, and other opted to take advantage of the slow market by taking a hard look at their business and determine what is needed to fix what is broken and/or make it better. There is a plethora of information available to all industry professionals that will assist in taking our individual businesses to another level. However, it will require research, hours

assistant: The Closing Is Never Successful Until It Is Put To The Final Test - 11/29/11 09:49 AM
So do you think your closing was a success? Well, a closing is never a success if it is not put to the final test. What do I mean? I'm not referring to the final docs being sign at the closing table or your commission check was delivered. What I am referring to is a happy buyer AND seller, not a happy buyer OR seller. There is a misconception that if only one side or the side you are representing is happy with the outcome, the closing and sale is a success. No, you are only looking at one part of the puzzle.

assistant: Sharing Your Outlook with Your In-House and Virtual Team - 10/13/11 12:17 PM
Once again, another company’s invention to create a way to share your Outlook folders with another person on the other side of the world has made my life easier. I found Shared O several years ago while debating between having a client use an online server or backup and send files via email. Either way, both process was a royal pain and required too much work. It has been close the 3 years and we are still on track. Shared O allows you to share one or several email, tasks, calendar, and contact folders in a flash. The process is so

assistant: Setting your Sights on the Target! - 08/23/11 08:47 AM
Setting your sights on the target, don't waiver, and aim! Are you aiming for the mark or shooting from the hip without a target in mind? The end of the year is near and how many of us have set our sights on the target? Don't spend another year wondering how you are going to succeed as a realtor. Aim for the top prize of being a "TOP PRODUCER." Each day should start with a plan. Real estate is not a job, it is a CAREER! When you work, work with conviction, commitment, and love for the career you have chosen.

assistant: Where Did that Hurdle Come From! - 07/27/11 07:23 AM
Your Competition! Don't get side track by success, it can be and often is, temporary. Your competititor just moved a hurdle in front of you while you were sleeping, thinking so grand of yourself, you didn't realize that #2 was on your heels and taking advantage of your weaknesses and overindulging in success. While you were out jumping the blocks and hurdles, your competitor figured out a way around and under the hurdles. A few key thoughts to keep in mind: Always have a plan. Be aware of #2 and #3.

assistant: Don't Forget the Human Touch, Say Thank You! - 07/15/11 07:10 AM
Don't forget the Human Touch of the business, Say "Thank You!" Do you show your current and past clients that you care and thank them for all that they have done? Maybe your buyers were exceptional throughout the entire homebuying process, stayed on top of the requirements and was not selfish of your time but worked with you and not against you. Maybe your seller followed every item on the house cleaning checklist, didn't smoke in the house, kept fresh baked goods on the counter for every showing, or simply made the selling process, "TEAM WORK." Maybe you met someone at

Is it time to create a Virtual Real Estate Office?
