Surviving Your Serengeti--A New Book by Stefan Swanepoel - 02/24/11 04:49 PM

Last year Sefan Swanepoel released a new book entitled Real Estate Trends. On March 1, 2011 his newest book--Surviving Your Serengeti: 7 Skills to Master Business and in Life--will be released through the bookstores. I recently had the privilege of reading the first two chapters. It is a good read.

Mr. Swanepoel spent his formative years in Africa before emigrating to America. Surviving Your Serengeti is a look into the survival skills employed by seven wild animals of Africa and the similarities they share with business people of the western world—an intriguing metaphor. After reading the pre-release of the … (5 comments)

ActiveRain Kodak Paper-less Challenge - 02/21/11 01:36 AM
I have been reading for quite some time about how offices can go paperless. It’s scary stuff! But now ActiveRain has given all of us the impetus to get started on this mammoth task. So, here’s what I am going to do to go paperless...

1.  I will incorporate my iPhone Apps in the following ways:



a.  Use “Calendar” for all my appointments. “Calendar” is better than a paper calendar:  you can set multiple audible alerts to remind you of appointments.

b.  Use “Notes” or “Voice Memos” for my To Do List.

c.  Use “CardReader” to scan … (5 comments)

Victoria BC Average Prices Graph--January 2011 - 02/01/11 08:18 PM
 
Below is the Victoria Average Price Graph, just released today.
To quote the Victoria Real Estate Board:
"The number of property sales throughout Greater Victoria showed little movement in January while overall prices remained stable. A total of 339 homes and other properties sold in January through the Victoria Real Estate Board’s Multiple listing Service® (MLS®), down slightly from the 349 sales in December. There were 418 sales in January of last year.
Victoria Real Estate Board President, Dennis Fimrite, noted that January’s figures reflect the continuation of the return to a stable and balanced market that began last year, “Historically, the winter months … (6 comments)

How Do Realtors® Arrive at a Price for a Home? - 02/01/11 06:15 PM
This is a question I am asked all the time. The simple answer is, “It varies.” Different Realtors® arrive at the figure differently. As in any profession, some will take the time to study the market and put some time into arriving at a price. Others will take a stab with little or no research. Still others will let the seller dictate price.
Pricing a home is critical in any market (i.e. buyer’s, seller’s, or balanced market). Overpricing a home at the outset can cost the seller stress, time and, eventually, money as studies show that homes overpriced initially sell for … (3 comments)
