Fargo Moorhead Home Builder Profiles Bob Pearson Eid-Co Homes

Find a Great Local Fargo Moorhead Builder: Bob Pearson Eid-Co

Name: Bob Pearson
Business: Eid-Co Homes, a residential home building company
Hometown: Grand Forks, N.D.
Your first job was: As a courtesy boy and stockman at Red Owl in Grand Forks beginning in 1962. I ultimately became a store manager in West Fargo in 1970.
Favorite type of music: “Big Band” sounds of the 20’ through the early 50’s. Some country is OK also.
Professional training: On going education and training offered through the National Home Builders Association and through the National Association of Realtors.
Your favorite thing about building: Being instrumental in assisting young people/families in purchasing their first home. Knowing that in the majority of cases, homeownership has the greatest potential toward gaining long-term financial security for those acquiring their first home. My best
Did you or do you have a mentor? Morris Pyle got me started in Real Estate as a new home sales associate with Eid-Co Homes in 1974. At the time I remember thinking that I’m simply not the salesman type. Morris’ response was, “Approach selling real estate as being a problem solver. “You’
I ignite my sales by: Our furnished model homes and a state-of-the-art web site are very well received by our customers. We at Eid-Co Homes focus on providing homes that meet the needs of our customers and that represent an excellent value in the market place.
Favorite restaurant: The Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Ponderosa, as well as the café in the Fargo Holiday Inn provide good value and consistent quality…one eating place would be boring.
When I cook at home I like to… grill a thick steak along with a salad and buttered French bread. A “plain old” hamburger hot dish also hits the spot a few times a month.
One thing every homebuyer should keep in mind when building a home: The most important thing is to explore the entire market in your price range so that you become an “informed” buyer. Many of the people that you may want to count on for advice have not been in the home market recently, and therefore, their advice may not be pertinent or accurate today. A great Realtor is priceless…ask acquaintances about their Realtor experiences…and choose the one you are most comfortable with.
Your favorite charity is and why: The Make-A –Wish Foundation. A young person hurting is such a difficult condition for me to accept. Therefore, if there is a way to lessen the pain and uncertainties these kids and their families are confronted with, it’s appropriate that we do something. They are entitled to a few hours or days of distraction and happiness.

Fargo Moorhead Logos & Design: Advertising the Basics

2007-10-13T04:35:12Z

Fargo Logos & Design: Advertising: the basics

1. Make sure the ad has a strong headline and call-to-action. What's the one thing you want to convey and what do you want prospects to do next? Make sure these two elements are strong and clear.

2. Stir up some emotion. The most powerful buying triggers are emotional benefits. Success and admiration can be strong motivators for business buyers. So is fear -- fear of failure, being beaten by the competition, etc. Your messaging should focus on emotional benefits and how your product delivers them. To achieve this goal, you really need to know your audience.

3. Speak to your audience. Going beyond #2, design your entire ad to grab attention and appeal to your target audience. Consider your headline, copy, photography, typeface and layout. If your target audience is C-levels, your ad should be eye-catching and communicate the benefit in the headline or image – a C-level cares about results and is less likely to read the rest of the ad than, say, an IT manager or technician who will need some degree of detail before responding.

Also, if your product or service is new to a particular audience, pay special attention not to use jargon or industry lingo.

4. Building on #3, don't dump all the information about your product or service into your ad. Usually this isn't the time to list all of your features & benefits. Give prospects just enough information to grab attention, feel pain and identify with the problem, then contact you for your solution.

5. Treat the other ads as competitors. The average American is exposed to 1,000+ messages per day. And the print publication is probably full of ads and articles that are competing for the attention of your prospects. How large are other ads? Full color or spot color? Photography or heavy copy? Size up the competition and make sure your ad stands out.

6. Make it easy for prospects to contact you and get the exact information they want. If you only provide a phone number or a generic URL, you're going to lose valuable prospects – not everyone will be ready to pick up the phone, and it can be tough to find specific answers from your home page. Instead, provide a URL to a unique landing page that focuses on converting prospects for this particular campaign. Use a phone number to a specific sales rep or a group that can help on the spot. And include an email address to a spam-protected email address.

7. Be scrupulous with your proof. A typo or poor grammar can damage your credibility and wash your investment down the drain. And pay special attention to your contact information – it should be large, legible and correct. Dial the phone number directly off your ad proof – do it several times to make sure it's correct. Do the same with the email and URL. A mistake here will ruin your response.

8. Make sure your offer will generate qualified leads. You don’t want to artificially create a lot of sales appointments that will inundate the sales force with unqualified leads. Remember, it’s not necessarily the response rate that matters – it's the return on your investment. Focus on driving profitable revenue, not just a long list of names for your database.

When I cook at home I like to... : Have friends and family join us!

Fargo Real Estate: Super Agent Profile Carlita Dietz

Super Agent Carlita Dietz

Hometown: born in Wishek, ND, but moved to Fargo at 5.
Favorite type of Music: Hard rock, but since I've had children I've gotten all of the Laurie Berkner CD memorized.
Professional training: Bachelor of Social Work with Double Major in Spanish from MSUM. Licensed Social worker in MN from 1995-1999. Licensed real estate agent since 2000 in ND and 2005 in MN. Realtor since 2003, I think. Licensed General Contractor in MN since 2005 also. (No additional real estate designations.
My favorite thing about selling real estate: My broker allows me to work from home, on my own schedule. This allows me to be a mother to my kids, and still make a good living.
Did you or do you have a real estate mentor?: I was introduced to real estate by my Broker, Paul Krabbenhoft, in 1999. I was working full-time in a construction/development office, so residential real estate was a natural transition. I have great respect for Paul, and I love working for him. He's taught me so much.
I ignite my real estate sales by... making every sale a personal one. Everyone wants a friendly relationship with their real estate agent, right? I treat my buyers and sellers as friends, while still representing them professionally. Clients don't want to be talked down too, or have an agent spewing out stuff that just goes right over their heads.
Favorite restaurant: Nothing fancy. With my Family...we love Acapulco Restaurant (on 13th Ave.), or Chinese Buffets!
When I cook at home I like to...get the kids out of the kitchen, turn on the radio, find a nice bottle of wine and cook up some pasta.
One thing every homebuyer should keep in mind when searching for a home: There is no such thing as "one perfect home", even when you build custom, you realize things that you could have done differently. Find a house that has most of the characteristics that you want now, as well as look at the home's potential. Will it suit your needs 5 or 10 years from now?
My favorite charity is: the local Disabled American Veterans chapter. My brother was paralyzed from an accident nearly 6 years ago, while he was active duty in the army. The DAV has been such a source of support and encouragement for him. He has been able to attend a ski clinic in Colorado and wheel chair games in Alaska that the DAV sponsors. They are tremendous!

I never thought I'd find myself working as a Realtor. Many people think of Realtors as pushy sales people. Anyone that knows me, would agree that pushy isn't my nature. How could I make a living selling real estate? Looking at my schooling, and previous employment, I wasn't headed into sales. I have never thought of myself as a sales person. I am a representative and facilitator in the real estate transaction. I have a construction background, with abundant knowledge of materials and techniques, so I feel like I'm a resource to my clients in that way. I love what I do, and am privileged to work with great people.

One thing every home buyer should keep in mind when searching for a home: Every buyer has a wish list of amenities they would like to have in their new home.

Favorite restaurant: Isabella's, Café Muse
When I cook at home I like to... : Fire-up the grill and entertain friends and family. A good bottle of wine always makes the food taste better.
One thing every homebuyer should keep in mind when searching for a home: Listen to your gut instinct about how a home makes you feel. Use your imagination to look beyond the current homeowner's décor, envisioning the home with your personal belongings. Choose a Buyer's Agent (Realtor) to personally represent your best interest in the biggest investment you will ever make. Keep in mind, a Listing Agent (Realtor) started their fiduciary duty initially with the Sellers and is representing their best interest. It should not cost you anything as a buyer to have separate representation. Expect your Realtor to listen to your needs and provide advice based on the current market conditions.

Your favorite charity is and why: The Junior League of Fargo-Moorhead is an organization of women committed to promoting volunteerism, improving the community through effective action and leadership of trained volunteers, and developing the potential of women.

Did you or do you have a real estate mentor? My broker, Dave Brenna. He's been "around the block".
I ignite my real estate sales by: I treat my career as a helping profession rather than a sales profession. I came from a healthcare background in social work. I've got to be me and people respond well to that.
Favorite restaurant: Justy's BBQ on Highway 10 in Hawley, MN
When I cook at home I like to... Have someone else do the clean-up.
One thing every homebuyer should keep in mind when searching for a home: Look past the cosmetic details of the home and focus on the location.
Your favorite charity is and why: REACH (Rural Enrichment and Counseling Headquarters) located in Hawley. It feels good to give to this charity because of the work that they do for folks in the rural areas between FM and Lakes. Nobody can say that real estate is a boring profession. Like a roller coaster, the highs are very high and the lows can be quite low. Everyday is different and I love it.

Typically, start-ups come to a branding consultant, because they've already stayed up late over pizza and beer, brainstorming through a thousand names and concepts. They still haven't "quite gotten it nailed" and are becoming frustrated. Don't do this. Start off on the right foot and make the small (in relative terms) investment in having your brand and identity created by a company that specializes in start-ups.
You are starting a business, and you need to spend your days (and nights) focusing on that task - talking to financial investors, building a team, developing a product or service, getting an office established; in short, realizing your dream and your unique vision. You don't need to spend your time trying to address issues that aren't your core competency.

As a small business owner with an established local market presence, there are some things you can do to sharpen up your brand without incurring fees from a full-fledged branding company. At a minimum, your business cards, letterhead, signage, and other existing corporate identity should all display a consistent usage of your company name, logo, and tag line information. If this isn't the case, an overhaul is in order. Make decisions about the color of all of your business cards - letterhead as well as the ink. It takes some discipline, but it's important to your brand to stick to those decisions for years to come.

Fargo Printing: Defining a Brand

Fargo ND. When starting your own business, one of your most important concerns is to develop your company's face to the world. This is your brand. It is the company's name, how that name is visually expressed through a logo, and how that name and logo extend throughout an organization's communications. A brand is also how the company is perceived by its customers - the associations and inherent value they place on your business.

A brand is also a kind of promise. It is a set of fundamental principles as understood by anyone who comes into contact with a company. A brand is an organization's "reason for being"; it is how that reason is expressed through the various communications to its key audiences, including customers, shareholders, employees, and analysts. A brand should also represent the desired attributes of a company's products, services, and initiatives.

Apple's brand is a great example. The Apple logo is clean, elegant, and easily implemented. Notice that the company has altered the use of the apple logo from rainbow-striped to monochromatic. In this way they keep their brand and signal in a new era for their expansive enterprise. Think about how you've seen the brand in advertising, trade shows, packaging, product design, and so on. It's distinctive and it all adds up to a particular promise. The Apple brand stands for quality of design and ease of use. Call us Fargo ND 261.8637

Fargo ND Print Media: Another Great Reason to Live in Fargo Moorhead

2007-10-03T06:02:34Z

Fargo Media: ND foreclosures second lowest in nation

Fargo, ND - North Dakota had the second lowest foreclosure rate in the nation in october, according to RealtyTrac.com, which tracks foreclosures nationally and state by state.

In the first half of 2007, North Dakota had the third lowest foreclosure rate, slightly higher than South Dakota and Vermont.

Tim Karsky, commissioner of the North Dakota Department of Financial Institutions, which regulates state charter banks, credit unions and money brokers, among others, said there don't seem to be a lot of the troubled sub-prime mortgages out there.

"We know they're being made," he said. "We've got some companies that specialize in making loans and helping people make loans that have less than average credit."

But he said the real estate market is still healthy enough to help people get out of those loans if they need to.

And, unlike a few of the troubled states, the number of lenders in North Dakota continues to grow:As of Aug. 31, 404 lenders were licensed in North Dakota this year, compared to 394 last year, said Bob Entringer, assistant commissioner.

That's compared to 381 as of Aug. 31 in 2005.

"We have some of the companies that have taken bankruptcy and have surrendered their licenses," Karsky said. "There's still companies getting into the market. For some of them, they still see an opportunity to make loans."

Joe Sheehan, a mortgage broker with Heartland Mortgage Co., agreed with the assessment that North Dakota borrowers aren't in trouble.

He said the state has had a lot of responsible lenders taking borrowers' situations into account before handing out home loans.

"We never had the risky loans in our market," he said. "Probably the worst loans that anyone did was interest-only."

Which, in turn, bodes well for the real estate market.

"Analyzing national real estate activity is like asking for a national weather forecast; it will vary in different areas and parts of the country. Like the weather, real estate is local,"said John VanMiddlesworth, former president of the Bismarck-Mandan Board of Realtors, in a release. "Real estate continues to prove to be a smart investment, and interest rates are favorable for consumers. The real estate market here is good."

Fargo Print Media: Faith Publication Coming to the Red River Valley

2007-09-30T21:28:19Z

Fargo Print Media: Faith Publication Coming to the Red River Valley

A new publication named Valley Faith is set to be launched in the Fargo-Moorhead area this November. The four-color glossy publication will be a “guide to the different local places of worship” in Fargo, Moorhead, and the surrounding area.
David Holland, the Director of Sales and Marketing for Valley Faith, describes the publication as more than an all-faith guide. but a place to find inspiraction and direction.
“We are really encouraging all faiths to participate,” he said. David also added that currently the Fargo-Moorhead area has 138 places of worship.
Holland said the publication is offering a free opportunity to places of worship to expand their ministry’s outreach program by providing them with a profile within the publication and on the web. The churches and other places of worship will have the option of purchasing advertising space if they would like a larger presence in the perfect-bound magazine. Holland also pointed out that the publication will be largely supported by community advertisers and other sponsors who would not considered “places of worship.” Holland cites hospitals, florists, funeral homes, caterers, nursing homes, and businesses that provide wedding services and receptions as examples.
“It all ties together” Holland said.
The premeire publication of Valley Faith is scheduled to launch in mid-November. Holland said they are targeting to have it out before Thanksgiving due to the amount of people coming home for the holidays.
Holland said the response has been overwhelming and the interest continues to build He said if all 138 churches chose to participate and have a presence in the publication, the first issue would would be approximately 80 pages. The magazine will consist of faith profiles, stories of inspiration and faith-based events.
The publication will have four design and administrative staff members, along with three sales and marketing professionals.
Valley Faith will be tied to its corresponding website, www.ValleyFaith.net, which will provide more current events and articles. Holland said the goal was to have an interactive website within the faith-based community and those looking for outreach.
Holland said the biggest challenge of starting the publication was the same as many of his other entrepreneurial projects-- conveying the idea of what the publication is about and finding advertising opportunities. For him, the best part of starting Valley Faith is getting to inform people of how many different religious opportunities there are in the community. Holland talked about the population of the Fargo-Moorehad area in comparison with how many churches and religious affiliations there are.
“The faith presence in our community is amazing,” he said.
Holland has a background in real estate. He has sold commercial real estate for 25 years and been involved in several entrepreneurial start-up businesses. Holland is a graduate of Oak Grove High School.

Fargo Print Media: Helping Kids with the Move to Fargo Moorhead.

2007-09-30T03:14:06Z

Fargo Print Media: Helping Kids with the Move to Fargo Moorhead.

Although relocating can be one of life's challenges, it is also an adventure. By guiding your child through this experience with knowledge and patience, the transition can be a piece of cake!

The home you are moving from may be the only one your child has ever known. There's a sense of familiarity there, not only with the house, but everything around it. The neighborhood friends, parks, and schools will no longer exist for them. That's why moving can be especially
troubling for children. But if parents understand what their child's concerns and needs are, a lot of distress can be avoided.

What are your kids concerned about?
· Preschool children tend to worry about being left behind or separated from their parents.
· Kids aged 6 to 12 can be concerned with how their daily routines will be affected.
· Teenagers are concerned primarily with fitting in and having their social life disrupted.

Ideas for easing their concerns include: Communicate with your child about what the new house will be like. Take them on a visit of the new home and neighborhood, but if you can't, take lots of pictures or videotape it to make them feel more comfortable with their future
surroundings.

Get information on the schools and childcare available in fargo moorhead. If you can, visit the school with your child and meet some of the teachers.
Try to get your child involved in the moving process. Have them pack some of their own special belongings and younger children can decorate the box with stickers and/or markers. Be sure to keep this "box of necessities" close at hand during the move.

Make plans together on how to decorate their room. You may want to leave their surroundings the same, but this could also be a great time for change. Maybe let them pick a color of paint for their new room or a new bed set.

Ask your child what some of the favorite things in their life now are and try to make those happen at the new house.

Most kids will have lots questions, so answer them in a positive way and be understanding of the fears they're facing. Focus on things for them to look forward to, like a first snow or their own room!

Starting over in a new place is never easy even in a great city like Fargo. If possible, find pen pals in the new location before you move so your child will have someone to interact with and learn about the area.

Contacting the Fargo Moorhead Chamber of Commerce for pamphlets on the area is another great way for your family to sit down together and visualize what the new town will be like Leaving friends behind may be one of the harder things your child has to do. Throw a going away party with their friends and take lots of pictures to make a nice scrapbook for them to look back on. Give them a stationary set or prestamped cards so they can stay in touch with friends too.

Just think, when you relieve the stress your children are feeling, you reduce your own stress and are able to focus more on other aspects of your move!

Fargo Print Media: Fargo Moorhead Women Must Focus on Retirement Income.

2007-09-30T02:32:10Z

Fargo Print Media: Fargo Moorhead Women...... His message is for all the women out there in the Fargo Moorhead Area: Whether or not you are the breadwinner in your household, preparing for retirement should be extremely important to you! One item of planning that must be considered is the financial situation of a surviving spouse and what can be done to prepare for a potential shortfall.

Women survive their spouses more often then men. The Administration on Aging estimates that seven of ten women will outlive their husbands, [1] highlighting the need for retirement planning even more.

Unfortunately, women are often at a disadvantage when it comes to resources available for retirement. The average woman spends nearly 15 years away from the workforce, while the average man will be away for 1.6 years. This translates into lower benefits from company pensions, 401(k) plans and Social Security.

Various estimates indicate expenses after the death of a husband will be 80 percent of what they had been when he was alive. Unfortunately, a widow’s income may likely be much less than what will be needed to cover expenses. Of all elderly persons with income below the poverty level, over 70 percent are women. [2] More than half were much better off financially before their husbands died.

Less time in the workforce may also mean that fewer women qualify for health benefits. This can put an even greater burden on their retirement income. It is imperative for women to start saving now for their retirement, which can be accomplished through several savings vehicles. It is equally important to protect your nest egg through adequate life insurance coverage and insurance options should your health care needs change. Adequate planning for retirement and surviving a spouse can be a deciding factor in living comfortably.

Taking the time to examine the household finances and planning carefully will help to ensure there are adequate means of support for either spouse during the golden years. Talk to a qualified individual about your retirement needs to prepare for and enjoy a comfortable retirement in Fargo Moorhead.
