STOP THE PRESSES!! - 06/28/07 08:13 AM
Does print advertising still work? I received a corporate e-mail this week asking me why we should still continue to print our Coldwell Banker Buyers Guide.  With computers these days 75-80 percent of home buyers are now going online to find homes.
 I think print advertising is not as strong as it use to be but still works in some cases. I believe newspaper advertising is a waste of money and it is very costly. The Coldwell Banker Buyers Guide is nice, glossy and features 30 pages with around 30 homes to a page.  The guide is costly but sellers actually … (12 comments)

WHAT! No 3% Co-Op - 06/15/07 10:04 AM
A few months ago I get a call from an agent wanting to know if I would like a referral with a 25% referral fee. I say sure and she proceeds to tell me that it would be a listing and sends me over the paperwork.  Now, I take the listing agreement for 5% with a 2.5% co-op.  I listed the beautiful house in a great neighborhood for around $400,000. The seller bought the home about a year and a half ago and could only afford to pay 5% commission.
  Everything is going well and I'm getting great feedback. Then I … (14 comments)
