Magic Eraser Demonstration Can Help Get Your Listings In Show Ready Condition (video) - 11/25/07 08:33 PM
I have been using Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser by Proctor and Gamble for a couple of years now and this product flat out works. I created a fairly basic video demonstration using my Flip digital video recorder and the quality was so good I decided to create a short web video out of it. If you are not familiar with the Magic Eraser they are cheap at less than $4.00 for a pack of four which puts them at about a buck a piece. The real benefit with this product is that when you do a quick demonstration with your client and you show them just how simple the Magic … (14 comments)

Waterfront Homes and A Website Just For Them - 11/23/07 08:14 PM
There is a website called www.DoDocks.com that is geared for the waterfront housing market. I have not personally used this site yet but I met with them on two different occasions at the National Association of Realtors Conventions. I am wondering if any other ActiveRain member has successfully used this site to market their waterfront homes. I have a feeling that this site may have some potential to help those of us who are active in selling waterfront homes.
If you have any experience with www.DoDocks.com or any other site like it I am sure your comments and experience would be useful for many … (7 comments)

Video Question - 11/23/07 06:59 PM
I have a question that may seem a bit odd. I used to use a Sony DVD Handycam 301 and back when I used it I recorded a ton of the 1.4 gig mini dvd's. I am now finding myself not easily able to use the mini dvd's. I have switched away from the pc platform to the Mac and I am wondering if there is an easy way to convert the video file into something more useable. The problem is that my new MacBook Pro has an internal DVD slot so there is no actual DVD tray that will hold the mini DVD's. Does it make … (5 comments)

Tour Factory Video Tour Upgrading in December - 11/22/07 04:59 PM
If adding a real estate video is something that seems overwhelming you may want to check out Tour Factory on December 3rd. Tour Factory is launching a new upgrade that will allow you to export your tours as a video according to their website and some discussion I have had with others. This could be a really nice way to go if you want the power of video search engines such as Google Video, MySpace Video and obviously YouTube. This new upgrade is probably more of a slideshow video than a real video product but it may be just what some agents are … (6 comments)

A Little Thanksgiving Chicken Soup For The Soul - 11/22/07 10:46 AM
Thanksgiving is upon us once again and this year I wanted to do something a little different. You may have heard of a book called "Chicken Soup For The Soul" and I wanted to share a few stories that are featured in this book. I hope these stories touch your heart the way they have touched mine.
Happy Thanksgiving!

One At A Time. A friend of ours was walking down a deserted Mexican beach at sunset. As he walked along, he began to see another man in the distance. As he grew nearer, he noticed that the local native kept leaning down, picking … (10 comments)

New Short Sale Product Offered By Real Pro Systems At NAR in Las Vegas - 11/16/07 08:04 PM
Joe Lininger of Real Pro Systems is by far my favorite internet guru. I always enjoy meeting up with Joe and I had the opportunity to spend a couple of hours with him before and during the National Association of Realtors Annual Convention this week. Real Pro Systems is very well known for their lead generation stealth websites, their agent podcasts, agent blogs and their lender sites. Joe shared with me that Real Pro Systems has just released a new Short Sale Product. With the number of foreclosures in America on the rise I am sure that agents will certainly benefit from this new service. You can check them out at www.RealProSystems.com

For those of you who love your Scansnap ADF scanners you are about to be blown away by the new Fujitsu S300 portable scanner that hits the street next week.

Did I mention that it is a duplex scanner like it's big brother scanners?
The retail price is roughly $300 but I was told by the Fujitsu … (14 comments)

Kodak Camera and Printer Special At National Association of Realtors Trade Show - 11/16/07 01:58 PM
I spent a good hour at the Kodak booth at the National Association of Realtos trade show and got to test out 6 of the neatest cameras Kodak offers. The reason I am posting this here is because Kodak was running a spacial on the V705 and the Kodak 5500 all in one printer, fax, scanner, scanner and copier. If you purchased the camera you got the printer for 50% off. This is a serious deal because the 5500 printer is the new one that uses the higher yield and lower priced ink cardridges. The camera was also selling at a discount so … (6 comments)

ActiveRain Statistics - 11/04/07 09:38 PM
What's up with the "ActiveRain Statistics" feature? It used to organize your blog stats in date order but within the past week all my stats are scrambled up for some reason. I did a quick search to see if someone had posted this previously but the search feature came up blank. If they are going to change this feature it would be nice to be able to click the statistics data column and organize by date even if it must be completed manually. … (31 comments)

Inventory List of Real Estate Items We Are Willing To Trade or Sell - 11/04/07 09:06 PM
I think it would be neat to create an inventory list of items we would be willing to trade or sell. This could create an environment for some interesting trades and it could help many of us rid ourselves of items we are no longer using. This could be great especially for seminar tapes, training systems, books, real estate products and real estate technology items such as computers, scanners, printers, electronic room measures and other items that are ideal for real estate.
List what you have that you would like to trade here and lets see if this can help some ActiveRain members.
