information: RETURN OF THE CONSULTATION - 06/27/16 11:51 PM
With the Internet helping out and commenting on every subject imaginable, the random opinion levels for everything by everybody will rise with it. It is a self-educating system that works via a beck and call system which exceeds studying, enrolling or structure of any kind. If one wakes up and wants to know something, GOOGLE it and the education begins
SHOW ME or TEACH ME
Now lets be frank and succinct here. Not everyone who is given tools know how to use them. Not only is further explanation necessary for the majority but also how to learning experiences as well as demonstrations which lead to practice makes perfect will … (7 comments)

information: RENTAL DEMANDS AND DYNAMICS - 05/26/16 11:51 PM
I just had a high priced rental come in to my hands. In addition to doing business, I always have an awareness to learn more about the current events, trends and supply and demand issues whenever I get a rental or a listing. This is what keep us as "go to' agents for our areas. Why? Because we know what is going on and counsel and act accordingly
WHY DESPERATE?
I was surprised at how many people wanted this expensive rental. People from all walks of life and circumstances made themselves known. Nearly every inquiry, and there were many, had a desperate tone to their inquires. They had to … (4 comments)

information: CHIP READ THE FUTURE FOR EVERYTHING - 03/27/16 12:24 AM
Scanning/tracking is the post subject matter. Decades ago, when checking out at the local super market, they would have a checker that manually/physically put in the marked grocery you were purchasing. It was like an adding machine & when finished, the checker would say how much you owed. Scanning made the career of being a checker have no future. The scan and the code made it so anyone can do it
CHEAP CHIPS
We see this popping up everywhere and with everything. What doesn't use this system will eventually use it. It is inevitable. Why? Because everyone else will be doing this and those that don't … (2 comments)

information: SECRETS OF ANY NEIGHBORHOOD REVEALED - 12/29/15 08:06 AM
I have known about this for years. I stumbled upon it during the last recent Real Estate crash when the cycle was midway and then finally crashing hard taking tens of million of homeowners with it down, down some more, and then finally out. People were saying that every other home on their block was in trouble. I wondered if this was true and then one day, I found out this and more...
PEOPLE SHARED THEIR FEARS
Everywhere I turned, you could find a person who needed a loan modification, a principal reduction (everyone), more time to pay, and a place to go as … (12 comments)

information: SHOULD YOU WRITE THAT? - 09/09/15 12:05 AM
I have been seeing comments, posts, blogs etc. that while allowable are questionable. Not only do they reveal too much but also have a bite to them and even a unsaid challenge to respond. We must remember that these writings have longevity and that the public more often that not is involved. What makes people forget this?
WOULD YOU SAY THAT EYE TO EYE?
If we were at a gathering of face to face, inflammatory remarks would be less encouraged I am sure. Why? There is more of a  risk of a return fire response putting the instigator on the front lines. The immediate result of it … (16 comments)

information: WHEN I NEEDED REAL ESTATE HELP - 07/23/15 11:54 AM
I'll never forget it too. Short sales came into being. People were defaulting like crazy and foreclosures were looming and booming. There were so many that banks became back-logged and at some point, over time and creating it on the fly, the short sale option was born. It was just a word and banks, their employees or agents could not explain it let alone make sense of it
TRYING TO GET INFORMATION
So call your local bank? That was a two hour phone call assuming you get through, get switched to the right party right away and not some other place and your call is not dropped. … (4 comments)

information: DON'T SAY A WORD LOL - 05/27/15 11:06 AM
No matter how many times I tell everyone who is involved in a property that I am handling to refer all inquires to me, someone decides to help out and volunteer not just my contact, but details on the subject property. Its gets dicey if I make a federal case out of it because it looks like I am a control monster.
ITS FOR YOUR SAKE NOT MINE
At the initial briefing for the Real Estate in question, I will cover many things and then, if my clients or audience is not glass-eyed, deer-ed in the headlights or yawning, I will go into my..... here is why … (6 comments)

information: WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO BLOG - 05/13/15 12:18 AM
Today, we are asked as well as wanting to know, who is who and what is what. What is it all about and how does that help me? The yellow pages are gone. Reference letters, referrals and sharp marketing and advertising can make something sparkle, glitter and appealing when it is not all that! Cereal packages do that now. 
MARKET SPEAK
If you walk down the cereal aisle of any market, you will find SUGAR, main ingredient packaged into many colorful forms, sizes, shapes, characters and colors presented cleverly as cereals. But it is really just sugar presented in many different ways. Same with soft drinks … (6 comments)

information: WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY SHOULD COME CHANGE - 01/06/15 06:22 AM
Why are they still teaching certain courses in school that are outdated or don't apply in today's technological world? Help me understand this. We now have spell check and grammar check capability so shouldn't we shift the courses to reflect that? Wait there is more.........
ANSWERS ARE EVERYWHERE
What about mathematics? Doesn't calculators and applications solve our everyday computations effectively and efficiently? You can even ask Google to solve a formula and it will. Why then are we not tweaking this in our curriculum's? Algebra? Who the heck uses this daily? For those that do, go at it
MANY SUBJECTS AVAILABLE ONLINE
Even zoology, biology … (10 comments)

information: THE FRENZY COLLECTING OF DATA - 10/25/14 03:17 AM
That's what is in demand is data. Data runs the show. Research and investigation has always been with and among the human being. People want to know about people and for different reasons too. Employers need to know, divorcing spouses want to know, marketing people have to know and we are the ones that tell or don't
EVERYONE HAS A FILE
In spy movies or witness protection programs, the best way to erase someone and their records of being was to stage a phony death accident. The guy or person is now dead. Then, under a new identity, this person goes on carefully staying under the radar … (6 comments)

information: GOT A REFERRAL THE OTHER DAY OR DID I? - 10/13/14 11:34 PM
I was in court so my phone was turned off and the call went to voice mail. If I wasn't in a meeting, I would have let it go to voice mail as well. WHY? The words UNKNOWN appear on my cell phone screen. In today's world of knowing and being known, UNKNOWN doesn't appeal to me.
WHOSE SPEAKING?
That used to be the standard everywhere you went for centuries in regards to meeting people. Everyone introduced themselves because it was rude, discourteous if you didn't and expected of them to do so and if you didn't, it stopped right there or got off to a … (17 comments)

information: BUSINESS CARD SAYS GOOGLE ME? - 10/10/14 03:48 AM
For people who have a web site and who blog, comment and post all over the Internet, chances their name is going to come up if someone does a name search. It is interesting to consider how the Internet is really a type of resume if you will. In addition, an article or posting on a subject matter may turn up too
UNLIMITED EXPOSURE
Being outspoken in person has its limitations and nuances but practicing that in cyberspace, one can do it until they don't want too. In other words, there is no limit to exposing yourself on the Internet in … (8 comments)

information: BUSINESS CARD COLLECTING AND SWAPPING - 06/30/14 12:12 AM
Yes to handing out your business cards. When attending functions and gatherings and one person would whoop out their cards and start handing them out,  that would cause another to do the same until the whole room was swapping cards. Then, it left as quickly as it came
WHAT TO DO WITH IT ALL?
Then, you had these card type book folders or indexes, hard cover with plastic inserts where a business cards fits perfectly in a slot. Then, it became a living book of a sort of contacts and you carried that around in a briefcase. It was on your desk … (5 comments)

information: ACTIVERAIN HAD DEVELOPED ITS OWN UNIQUE IDENTITY - 06/19/14 07:01 AM
I wonder if you took a bunch of attorneys, engineers or doctors who blogged, posted and commented and had them congregate on a specific site if they would turn themselves into a "go to" place similar to what ActiveRain has become and is still evolving into.
YOU ARE HERE
It is fascinating to see how the many different ACTIVERAIN components all found themselves and connected their own dots. It is similar to the principal of  water seeking its own level.  It may not have even been intended to do what it is doing now but what it is doing now is where it ended up
BECAUSE ITS SPECIAL

information: THE POWER OF FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS or FAQ's - 05/30/14 12:49 AM
We are all familiar with the awkwardness that comes with meeting people sometimes. We look for the common ground so we can connect or exchange with one another. Getting there is where we all want to go but sometimes we run out of steam after the "how are you" fine How are you? stage
GETTING IT GOING
Questions are another way to get things going and even pick up steam. Everyone likes answering questions and it is a well known fact that people like being listened to. Questions and answers promote that dynamic. I speak, you listen...you speak and I listen. Hey, we … (3 comments)

information: RECORDINGS: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS? - 03/05/14 03:51 AM
It was an advertisement for a nice medium to high priced property for sale. It had two numbers to contact. The first one was for a 24/7 information recording covering the highlights of the property and the second one was to speak to the agent
INFORMATION LINE 24-7
The hot-line was a nice touch. Those that don't want to talk to anyone but want more data can freely dial up and help themselves. Play it again too if you want to. Then, either move on or contact the agent. Or perhaps just move on.
AS AN AGENT
I used to contact the agents while driving … (6 comments)

information: THESE PEOPLE KNOW EVERYTHING - 03/04/14 11:02 PM
This is one of the best sources of information bar none. If your buying, selling or investing in Real Estate, they are a must glean so that your investment path becomes a little clearer and easier to travel. The source is eager every-time to accommodate too and its totally free to use
NEIGHBORS KNOW
If they ever organized into a union or a official source of data, the business would become an instant success. There isn't anything this group doesn't know about the area they live in or frequent. They are just waiting for someone to knock on their doors so they can spill the beans!
NEIGHBORS will tell … (16 comments)

information: HOW THE REAL ESTATE AGENT CAME TO BE - 02/19/14 10:41 PM
If you look at history and start-up for countries, states or cities, the foundation of their being came from corner stone activities that were added on to and developed into what you see today. Take the Wild West of the Americas for instance. A blacksmith was in demand everywhere he went. He fixed wagons, shoo-ed horses and made things to order
WHERES THE NEAREST BLACKSMITH?
He had to but set up a place and the word gets out and people come to him. Of course where there are people gathering causes some fellow to put in a General store so they can shop while they … (4 comments)

information: FREE CONSULTATIONS STILL MAKES SENSE - 01/06/14 03:50 AM
The other day, I went into a Pharmacy and they were not eager to service me. Without a customer, anyone's work becomes less fruitful. However before I could spend any money or even begin to choose a product, I had questions and I needed answers. Sometimes people need to dialogue before proceeding..
MEETING OF THE MINDS
The beginning of all business comes from two people meeting up, exploring or engaging one another on a common interest or requirement and then carry it out to mutual satisfaction. Free consultations can lead to many opportunities and they also can lead to abuses too
PEOPLE ABUSE: A … (4 comments)

information: BLOGGING IDEAS ARE AS SIMPLE AS LOOKING AROUND THE ROOM - 10/29/13 04:50 AM
It is easy to share an experience, a business transaction and a personal story. Everyone does it. In between times however, blog pick-ins can become a little thin and far and few between. We all have visited the valley of the lost blog and suffered of post thirst while there. However, what if I told you that all you had to do is just look around the room you are in and there is a post waiting for you
I'M LOOKING AROUND NOW
