another me: Texting... Sometimes it's a Good Thing! - 10/18/11 09:46 AM
Google – it’s one heck of a company with so many great ideas and products.  Gmail, Google Docs, Google Maps, Calendar, Reader... the list goes on and on!
Did you know that Google has a Text Message "Search" feature?  Even if you have a web browser on your smart phone, you might find Google's SMS search easier. For one, it's incredibly fast-- no clicking links and searching through results while you try to find your glasses!  You use special keywords to get immediate access to information.
Here’s an example: text "weather 30329" to 466453 (GOOGLE) and instantly receive the current weather … (0 comments)

another me: Rain Barrels and Composters are Becoming More Popular with Home Owners! - 10/04/11 05:25 PM
I've been noticing that more and more of my neighbors and friends are starting to compost or installing a Rain Barrel.  Maybe it's a trend - maybe some folks fancy themselves as a suburban farmer. 
At my house, I have a garden! So it was a natural progression for me and my husband to start Composting and get a Rain Barrel.  We started composting 5 years ago, because we have that famous Georgia red clay soil - and it needed some help! 
Leaves, grass clippings, coffee grounds, potato and carrot peels, egg shells... you name it - we compost it!  … (1 comments)

another me: "Can you give me 5 minutes?" 15 Ideas for What To Do With 5 Extra Minutes - 03/07/11 09:40 AM
In working with busy Realtors, I get that question a lot.  And sometimes I'm the one who's saying it!
Our lives have become a hurry up and wait game!  Waiting for an appointment, waiting in the bus line at school, waiting at the drive-thru window, sitting in traffic, waiting for the water to boil, waiting for a webinar to start - and my all time favorite, waiting on hold!
Everyone's looking for ways to save time and become more productive.  It's a constant battle.  One of my goals this year is to be more efficient with my time and to keep … (4 comments)

another me: Social Networking and Real Estate …the change is here! - 01/10/11 03:15 PM
I honestly think the Real Estate business should be the Poster Child for change!   Quick -  what are 4-5 big changes  you can think of right now? 
We've seen changes to Contracts, Marketing, MLS's, Brokerages, Short Sales, Mortgages, Associations, websites, and of course "the market!"   And Social Media has been a big part of that change!

Over the last 2 years, I’ve heard so many real estate professionals say things like; “I don’t have time for Social Networking”, “How can you get business from social media sites?”, or “I have a website, why do I need a Facebook … (2 comments)

another me: So proud of my friend and client - Jo Kenney for 2011 WCR National Financial Secretary - 10/27/10 07:33 AM

Stopped into the local Hallmark store yesterday - August 17th - and there were 4 full displays of Christmas stuff!  Really!  And only 1 display of Halloween/Fall items!
 
It's just too early.... and as they say in the south, "it just ain't fittin'!"

another me: Carolyn Capalbo Is A REALTOR In Northern Virginia That Needs Your Help - 06/14/10 08:03 AM
 
What's in a Name - Everything!  And for a Realtor it's more than everything - it's your brand.  Now imagine having potential clients google your name and finding this...
"In 2008 a women with the same name as Carolyn Capalbo broke into the news, and it wasn't pretty. The "other" Carolyn had a daughter that was involved with a New York governor in a promiscuous way. Long story short, it was ugly, and now when you google Carolyn Capalbo, you get the results of the other women"
Please help Carolyn Capalbo by re-blogging and linking to her website.

another me: It works for Righties or Lefties - DocuSign - 11/12/09 11:21 AM
You know the drill.  Just sign here, here, here ...and initial here, here, here and here... and when your fingers are cramping and numb, we'll have ourselves a legal document.
The paperwork in a real estate transaction - from listing to closing - can be a real time-drain for all involved.  On some deals, all those signatures and initials just might necessitate a physical therapy appointment.
DocuSign offers a legal, secure electronic signature service guaranteed to reduce the wear-and-tear on schedules and fine motor skills.  Did you know that an electronic signature is enforceable and legal. (even in California!)
Better yet, … (8 comments)

another me: Is your Laptop "Hot? - 09/06/09 08:33 PM
Over the summer months, I've been using my laptop in the evenings to update my Facebook and Twitter accounts. And let me tell you, a laptop is hot!
Did you know heat is the probable a cause of some those annoying performance issues, like ‘lockups’.  And it might even be the cause of permanent damage. Yikes! What I've learned is that with a laptop, heat issues can be even more of a concern. (now they tell us!) All those heat producing components are tightly arranged inside a small space...so there's not much room for a cooling system. (think tiny exhaust … (6 comments)

another me: Outsourcing... Is it for Real Estate? - 09/02/09 08:24 AM
My background is in corporate telecommunications/technology sales ...many moons ago!  And outsourcing was the big buzz word - everyone was doing it!  Outsourcing was used for management’s “pet projects”, for services we didn't offer and in some cases they outsourced an entire department to another company who could do it better for less!  It made sense… and cents.  Using the talents and resources of strategic partners to save on staffing, expenses and training.  It was a way for my company to stay focused on it's core business.Back then, I sold “services” for a video conferencing manufacturer.  We offered everything from maintenance … (6 comments)

another me: 5 Personal Tasks You Can Delegate to your Virtual Assistant - 08/25/09 08:29 AM
A Virtual Assistant is a valuable resource in your Real Estate business for help with listings, contracts, marketing and general admin tasks. But, have you considered asking your VA to help out with some of your personal tasks as well.  When you have a relationship and a trust with your VA, handling personal tasks is just one more way you can leverage your time and resources.
Being that your Assistant is "Virtual", she's not available to pick up the kids, drop off the dry cleaning or deliver cupcakes to the brownie troop.  But she might be able to help you with … (4 comments)

another me: Under Contract... Are your Clients Out of Sight and Out of Mind? - 08/04/09 09:22 AM
Transaction Coordination, Contract to Close, Closing Coordination, Transaction Management… Whatever you call it, this is the one service you should consider adding to your business.

One of the challenges facing many agents today is keeping the paperwork and communications flowing during the closing process. When you’re out with new clients and can’t respond to calls or emails until the evening or the next day, the closing process for your Under Contract clients has been slowed down or sometimes derailed.
A Transaction Coordinator is on the job and working for you. She will be responding to those emails and phone calls … (4 comments)

another me: Are you LinkedIn... with the leading Social Networking site for Business? - 06/28/09 09:08 PM
This week I had the opportunity to attend a class for real estate professionals on using LinkedIn and how to "data mine" for new business with this Social Networking site.  I was surprised to see that out of 25+ agents in the class, only 7 or 8 had set up a profile!

The instructor was Richard Kirby, a recruiter who has developed a network of over 3500 connections!  He has successfully used LinkedIn to meet new clients, make connections with Corporate HR contacts and develop his business!
Here are some eye-opening facts about LinkedIn:
* There are over 40 million business users on LinkedIn, including managers and executives … (0 comments)

another me: What's in your Mailbox? - 06/27/09 09:43 AM

Sending a birthday card; is it Social Networking - IRL? (in real life)
When was the last time you sent someone a real card in the mail?  Did you get any actual "Paper" cards on your last Birthday?
Remembering someone's birthday is an easy, personal way to stay in touch with your past clients.  Everyone loves getting a card on their birthday.  Recently, I had a client call and thank me for sending her a Birthday Card!  And just last week, a friend at church came up to me and thanked me for her card!  Imagine that...A simple little card!
Today's technology has made it so convenient to post a short birthday message to … (1 comments)
