paulantonelli: Treat leads like people. It's that easy. - 08/22/17 04:59 PM
Industry visionary Brian Boero, of 1000 Watt Consulting, recently wrote about how many top real estate companies are working their leads in highly aggressive ways. What agents aren’t considering, Boero, says, is how these potential clients want to be treated after they come in as a lead. Below are four tips for keeping it real and finding the human connection when you are working to engage and convert new leads.
 
1. Do some research before you reach out
You may consider automating an initial response to a lead saying that you’re busy at the moment but will be in touch soon. But in the time … (2 comments)

paulantonelli: FL Bills filed affecting HOA and their residents. - 01/19/17 08:51 AM
Poinciana residents in Osceola County, have had enough with their Home Owners Association. Many are hopeful for two new potential bills that have just been filed by FL rep John Cortes will make it to the FL House floor. These bills will not just affect Poinciana, but it will affect the state of FL as a whole. 
Here’s a breakdown of the bills filled;
HB 135 will add more guidelines on the HOA elections in hopes of making it fairer.
HB 137 will allow mandatory nonbinding arbitration in HOA-related disputes to negotiate a settlement instead of involving the courts as a first measure, which … (0 comments)

paulantonelli: Drug Coupons - 10/20/16 03:15 AM
When low copay generic drugs face identical higher copay patent drugs, patients buy generics.  If, however, the brand-name drug comes with a coupon reducing the copay below that of the generic drug copay, patent drug sales rise. Regrettably, the coupon doesn't lower the amount paid by the insurer for the identical high-priced name-brand drug.  Thus, coupons needlessly raise drug spending by billions/year and should be prohibited when generics exist.  … (0 comments)

paulantonelli: The decline in homeownership - 05/03/16 10:23 PM
While the seasonally adjusted 2016 first quarter homeownership rate of 63.6% slipped from 63.7% in the last quarter of 2015, the long decline in homeownership is over.
In the first quarter of 2015, the rate was 63.8%, just 0.2 percentage points above where it is now, its smallest January to January decline in six years. Moreover, the most recent decline is occurring despite two-thirds of new households being renters, primarily because most Millennials remain too young to buy.

paulantonelli: It's 3 but i'm concerned about 1, FLORIDA - 05/01/16 10:28 PM
So they say the nations foreclosure inventory or 90 day delinquents (which means you're in foreclosure) have been declining. Nationwide the levels in some places have remained the same or worse. There are three states that have gotten worse New York, New Jersey and of course Florida .
And I will give you one guess out of these three who leads the nation with the most delinquencies and foreclosures, one guess that's right it is Florida once again.
It seems like we've always been in the first position or we lose it for a month or two but we get it … (2 comments)

paulantonelli: the fiscal Force - 12/20/15 08:49 PM
If you enjoyed reading the post please give it a LIKE, every little bit helps. Thank You.
According to a Washington University professor, if one were to assume Emperor Palpatine was fiscally conservative, destroying the second Death Star and with it the Galactic government, the Rebels probably caused bond defaults of $500 quintillion. Absent a bailout of 20% of Gross Galactic Product, the galactic economy would probably have entered an astronomically bad depression. May the fiscal Force be with you! Have A Great Holiday Everyone.

If you enjoyed reading the post please give it a LIKE, every little bit helps. Thank You.
After five consecutive months of increases, pending home sales slipped in June, and the same is happening in July – the highest number of pending home sales in over nine years, according to the National Association of Realtors®.
 
Modest gains in the Northeast and West were offset by larger declines in the Midwest and South.
 
NAR's Pending Home Sales Index (PHSI), a forward-looking indicator based on contract signings, fell 1.8 percent to 110.3 in June compared to May, but it's 8.2 percent higher year-to-year (101.9 in June 2014). … (2 comments)
