Do Realtors get Sick Days? - 09/28/09 11:24 AM
It’s Monday morning and I feel awful.  I hate to admit it but I wish I had a 9-5 job today.  I’ve been battling the flu for 4 days now and I think the flu is winning!  I’m the worst at allowing myself a day off just to rest.  I feel guilty when I know home buyers have questions, my listings and sellers want answers and feedback on showings.  Ughh…I just want to hide and climb into bed.  Someone bring me some tea, my laptop, a few movies and maybe a popsicle or two.  I just want to take a nap … (4 comments)

Limited choices of Homes in a Saturated Market? - 09/24/09 11:49 AM
The first time home buyer rush is on but I'm seeing an interesting trend already.  We still have several weeks to find homes and make the cutoff for the $8000 tax credit deadline by November 30th. 
BUT…What if you can't find a home you like??      

If you’re thinking it’s a buyers market, you’re right and wrong all in the same thought.  Yes, there are tons of homes available but they may not meet your criteria.  The homes that are available might be distressed or short sales.  Those are going to be a tight squeeze to close by November … (0 comments)

A letter to myself... - 09/20/09 11:10 AM
Dear Self,
  I know it's Sunday and you'd really like to lay around the house and do nothing...but, the world is calling and you need to get out there!  The new buyer you're meeting this afternoon is looking forward to making his dreams of buying come true.  He's done his work and gotten qualified for a loan, just like you asked.  He searched through the homes you sent and picked out 6 to view.  He's doing his part now you go do yours.  Make him feel special.  Give him information that can help better his financial future!  Treat him like … (0 comments)

"Social Media Mumbo Jumbo"...Dear Agent, thanks for saying NO - 09/16/09 12:53 PM
Dear Agent, Here's my THANK YOU AND VIRTUAL HIGH FIVE for not taking social media serious. I'm not saying face to face marketing is dead, but it's certainly dying. Since you didn't heed my warnings in those office meetings, I'm taking over the net while you sit and wait for the phone to ring. My new listing campaign (it's all web based) will reach thousands of people who are relocating to my area while the tiny ad, that cost you hundreds, will sit unread each week in the classifieds or real estate section of the paper. To all the folks who … (0 comments)
