John - JAB Inspections

JAB Inspections is a home inspection company out of Manahawkin, NJ. We interviewed John Brancato from JAB as a part of our "recession buster" program and here are the results.

1. John Brancato's take on the current market conditions from a home inspector's perspective?

- Due to the current economic crisis as a home inspector and have seen almost a 50% drop off in business. I have started to see a bit more activity on my end and in the last month or so.

2. What were the qualities of the area that attracted you to want to start a business here?

- The area was expanding rapidly, the location in proximity to the beach, an always active real estate market.

3. What is the best part about owning a business in Ocean County?

- No commuting to NYC or Philadelphia - the area has become a "melting pot" of people from other areas.

4. What consumer friendly tips can you give to people looking to hire someone in your industry?

- Be sure that the home inspector is properly licensed. Be sure the inspector is insured. Ask him about his experience and for a sample of his inspection reports.

5. What are some pitfalls or "red flags" to avoid when hiring someone in your business sector?

- Poorly trained individuals have become home inspectors due to a recent reduction in the training and education requirements.. Look for the experience.

John Brancato and JAB Inspections has been in business for over 22 years and provides quality home inspections to the Ocean County area.

If you are looking for a home inspector in the Ocean County or surrounding areas, give John Brancato a call at 609-978-9932, and tell him the Muldowney Team referred you.

Mike - All Phase Home Inspections

All Phase Home Inspections is a home inspection company out of Ocean County, NJ. We interviewed Mike Frizziola from All Phase as a part of our "recession buster" program and here are the results.

1. Mike Frizziola's take on the current market conditions from a home inspector's perspective?

- Slow. I feel it will have a short turnaround for a little bit. With the government hopefully going to help jump start it. But I feel it won't last for a while. It will slow down again. We still have a lot of people out of work. OK, the government is helping but the people need to work.

2. What qualities of the area attracted you to want to start a business here?

- There is a demand, for people to have something instead of renting for a summer vacation, to own that place. Also, people were moving from north (North Jersey) to Ocean County since it got too high to live there.

3. What is the best part of owning a business on Ocean County?

- Good question. Because I live here.

4. What consumer friendly tips can you give people looking to hire someone in your industry?

- Make sure they have insurance and they hold a license through the state.

5. What are some pitfalls or "red flags" to avoid when hiring a home inspector?

- Some one (home inspector) without a license or someone with just a check list report.

Mike Frizziola and All Phase Home Inspections have been in business for over 10 years providing quality home inspections to the Ocean County area. They also perform home inspections all over the New Jersey area.

On Thursday and Friday, February 19th and 20th, the members of the Muldowney "Family" Team volunteered their time to help the children of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Every year, in February, Cat Country 107.3 Radio Station hosts their annual Country Cares for Kids St. Jude Radiothon, at the Hamilton Mall, in Mayslanding, NJ, to collect money to assist the hospital.

This was year 11 for the radiothon. In the first 10 years, over $1,000,000 dollars was collected. This year the final total was over $87,000.

There were so many ways to donate, from becoming a Partner in Hope with a monthly contribution, to a silent auction, to donating a dollar to "buy a boot", or donate to spin a wheel and win a prize.

Every year, the Muldowney Team participates in this awesome cause and will continue to do so for years to come.

We Find You Everywhere!

We received a phone call a couple of weeks ago from someone wanting to come down and look at some homes. After speaking to them for a short period of time, we asked them a question that we try to ask all new clients. "Where did you find us?" Their answer was as follows.

"Do you realize that you are everywhere on the Internet? Every time we searched in Google, and clicked on a link, we found you."

Our obvious response was, "Thank you for the compliment. We have worked hard to get ourselves to that point."

Afterward, we sat down and thought about what had happened. We have clients commenting to us that we can be found all over the Internet. WOW is all I could think.

We have worked for several years to build an Internet presence. We began in 2005 by getting our own website. Of course, we got a website, knowing nothing about what to do with it. We then ran into several trainings, especially Michael Russer's Online Dominance Training. Through these trainings we discovered how to market our website and make changes to it that would benefit our SEO. We were doing pay-per-click, but weren't moving up the search engines organically as well as would have liked.

Then, came blogging. About 5 months ago, I finally decided to give in and start blogging. I was walking into it blind, having not a clue what I was doing. Well, after 5 months, we have almost 15,000 points, I am #1 in Barnegat and # 7 in Ocean County. Along with that, we are able to find our posts all the time on the first page of the search engines.

Who would have thought? We worked for over 2 years taking trainings and trying to make our website how Google wanted it to be. Then, we start blogging and almost immediately we find ourselves on Google.

It all seems so simple now, yet 6 months ago, I was saying that there was no way that blogging could work for me.

How wrong I was!

It's so simple. I just write about the communities I work in, what's going on in the market, etc. It is all info that I am writing in e-mails or talking to clients about already. All I have to do is put it in writing.

BLOGGING IS DEFINITELY THE WAY TO GO!

Clip Art and Graphics in Your Blog - Where Do You Find Them?

Ocean County Homes - Jennifer Kipila - The Muldowney Team (Van Dyk Group) — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 14:33:11 -0500

This may be dumb question, but here it goes. Everyone seems to use some type of clip art in their posts. I wish I could do that because my posts, because they look so blah. I have not been able to figure out how to get clipart into my posts. I can insert photos I have taken, but inserting clipart is just something I cannot master.

Is there a company to use to get all this awesome clipart?

Any suggestions would be great.

Thank you everyone in advance for all you help.

Buy A Lifestyle - Not Just a Home

Ocean County Homes - Jennifer Kipila - The Muldowney Team (Van Dyk Group) — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 15:41:26 -0500

BUY A LIFESTYLE - NOT JUST A HOME!!!

WOW - That sums it up - People retiring, just like you, realize that the amenities in the community and the community's location are as equally important as the actual home they purchase. Most people begin the funneling process by determining:

1. State to Buy In

2. Section of State

3. Town

4. Community

5. Model of Home

Stephen LaCount, from activeadultliving.com, wrote an article entitled, "7 Reasons for Living in An Active Lifestyle Community," and published it on his website. The following were his seven reasons:

1. For Your Happiness

2. So You Can Keep on Keepin' On

3. For Your Health

4. To Find New Friends

5. For New Beginnings

6. To Have It Your Way

7. A Time For YOU ! ! !

If you are looking for a community:

10 minutes from the bay and ocean

30 minutes to Atlantic City

1 1/4 hours to Philadelphia and New York

Easy Parkway Access

We have a community for YOU. Click on the link below to view all of our local communities.

Tell us what you want to see and we will customize a TOUR for you. Why spend 3 hours with a sales rep from one community that only wants to sell you their community when we can ascort you to many communities.

Our family looks forward to helping you find the perfect lifestyle.

Changing Font Size and Color

Ocean County Homes - Jennifer Kipila - The Muldowney Team (Van Dyk Group) — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 14:56:19 -0500

I am hoping someone out there can help me. I have written several blogs, but their appearance seems very blah. I was hoping to change the size of the font or the color or something to make it a little more attractive, but have absolutely no clue how to do it.

I hope to take Dakno Marketing's, Blogging Boot Camp, over the winter, with Bobby and Brad Carroll, but in the meantime need some help.

If anyone could give me some pointers, that would be great.

Thank you in advance,
