connor macivor: If you are going to flex your muscles - make sure it is with someone that can flex back... - 11/14/08 11:49 PM
One of the most valuable lessons I have learned is always remember to treat people kindly.
Kind of a golden rule of sorts.  However, there are a lot of folks out there that are predators in their own right.
If you are calling agent's assistants and screaming at them with your "big boy" voice and berating them with profanities, I imagine that you will not get far.
If you are doing it to one of our support staff members, you can expect a call from Paris or I.
Let's not forget that is something is overlooked, missed, or otherwise not right … (0 comments)

We have been finishing putting the final touches on the framing of this new resource - The visitor will be able to search all of Southern California directly from the Multiple Listing Service - Where we have our resources posted and available for you to check out.
The other nice thing about utilizing this resource has to do with the fact that it does not require any of your personal information to search ad nauseous.

We have needed to adjust with this market as we have done in the past 10 years since our start.  We also have been blessed to have coupled with some of the largest banks in the handling of their Assets, Marketing and Closing have become second nature to The Paris911 Team.

Don't neglect any of the social networks for building Referral Networks.  You can just browse Google for Social Networks to get a huge amount of responses.  Anywhere on the WWW where you have a chance to write something about yourself and put your website address is something that is of benefit.
Having said that, try to stick with the Big Ones, such as Linked In, here is our profile.
When getting on these social Networks make sure you read this active Rain post by Bobby.

Have a look around the WWW - See who is consistent and on topic with their writing efforts and see if you gel with their personality as portrayed on LCD.  If you seem to think it is a match, then you might be onto something.  Now, having said that, there are some out there in the blogging world that do not write their own content.  … (2 comments)

If you were to ask a room full of agents if they ever thought that they would be in this just for the short term.  They would most all respond that is not how they are viewing their business.  But their actions dictate differently. 
Some REO agents have just come about due to this current market.  But they are not doing everything necessary to use this springboard to keep their business growing over the years following this Foreclosure Market.
So with both types of agents, those that were before the current REO market and the ones that are just being made due to … (0 comments)
