Tip #91 - The Other Agent Is Also Your Client? - 365 Tips To Becoming A Successful Realtor® - 08/30/10 11:34 AM
If the agent and myself have had a good relationship during a transaction we remember that agent and know that we can work with them in the future.  The other type of agent we tread lightly with an eye out to what they may be doing behind our backs.

Know Thy Neighborhood – It really does matter - 08/26/10 01:13 PM
I fully agree.  If I am going to write about an area I had better know what I am talking about.  When I have a request about an area I don't know anything about it is better to refer to another agent or company in that area.

What Happened, to Make Things Get Like That? - 08/12/10 02:56 AM
Your blog is a message that is happening all over the United States and elsewhere.  I believe that homeowners in distress are not taking care of their dwellings and it is causing a ripple effect.  I also believe that some people are not meant to be responsible homeowners--they start projects and then lose interest or they just don't care.  The excitement of a brand new home inspires the homeowner to plant trees, shrubs, flowers, and maintain their lawns.  After awhile homes are sold and resold and the downward spiral begins.

Separate & Unequal Internet??? - 08/11/10 01:41 PM
Great Information!  I will log on to the web site you suggested.  I wonder who paid what $$$ for this division of Internet service.  Apparently it was not you nor myself or anyone else I know.  I hope this goes out to many people so that they can be aware of what our "intelligent but money talks" government is all about.  Keep up the good work!

A Tax Credit Extension for Homebuyers - 08/10/10 11:37 AM
Thanks for the information.  In this market it is sometimes not easy to close withing the guidelines that the government set up.  Also, it is amazing that the government included homes purchased up to $800,000!  It is important for the buyer(s) to remember: "if the buyer occupies the home for three or more years the tax credit does NOT need to be repaid."

Should You Work from Home, or from Your Real Estate Office? - 08/10/10 08:18 AM
I agree with everything you said.  I work out of my home but find that working in the office allows me to better focus on what I have to do.  I usually spend about three days in the office getting leads and completing work that I might put off if I were at home.  I usually have a list of things I want to accomplish at the office and when completed I work on social networking.

Instant Success On Active Rain Post....Hyper Local School Information, Take Advantage Of This Time Of Year - 08/08/10 11:26 PM
Another little thing that can make the difference.  Offering registration times etc. on your blog was an excellent idea.  We have to remember beginning of school. vacation times, teacher conference days, days off for in house teacher training, and when the last school day will occur, etc.

WHY STAGE EMPTY PROPERTIES - 08/06/10 02:32 PM
You are right--when a buyer looks at a home without furniture or decoration they feel that the seller might be desperate.  I try to get the seller(s) to give me some pictures (without people in the picture) which will give the buyer an idea of what it could look like.  That way when they see the property they may think that they just moved out.  As sellers, they need all the help they can get in today's market.

Where Do You Advertise an Open House? - 08/05/10 09:38 PM
I have been in real estate for 22 years now and have seen a lot of change in how to market open houses.  As you said putting it in the newspaper is the last place--however older sellers believe the opposite, of course.  There are the web sites you mentioned to advertise, our MLS lists open houses, and blogging helps also.  I have done post cards for the area and have had some good response to get people to stop by.

EARNING YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING S-T-R-I-P-E-S - 08/04/10 11:32 AM
I fully agree.  I started out trying to go everywhere and it made me feel like I was in a circle and could not stop.  Now I am better about what I do and don't do but still enticed by various marketing people to change and pay for their services.  So far I am keeping my expenses down and marketing online a lot more.

What a great amount of information!  My daughter lives in Cartersville, GA and it was fun to see all the information your gave on this blog.  You definitely put a lot of information for the buyer or seller to use--marketing a home, the technology that is available, buyers searching on the Internet, where you have a presence such as press releases and real estate blogs.  Thanks for all your hard work!

Andersohn Turns 85 Years Old - Watch Out Billy Joel and Elton John - 08/03/10 05:16 AM
What a great story and video.  It is a shame that many of us don't make the effort to reach out to family members.  When I grew up my dad had decided that his family was the "better family".  So I have no real knowledge of my mother's parents and siblings and because of that influence.  It was not until about the last three years that my cousins and myself have made a better effort to get together and enjoy each others company.  At this point in our lives all of our parents are deceased and we only have each other.  Thank you … (1 comments)
