susan neal fine properties: Do you really benefit from facebook? How's your business page? - 08/30/09 04:06 PM
Do you really benefit from facebook?  How's your business page?
Rebecca Levinson recently wrote a post discussing whether you should organize your facebook friends into lists so that you can post things that you can restrict to one list or another, or whether you should allow everyone to read all of your posts, never knowing whether a reader could be a potential client.  This of course, is the proverbial "two-edged sword" because while you may want to have a wide audience, that means that you do have to be selective in what you post.  You should present an honest picture of … (8 comments)

CATS and DOGS and BEAVERS all at the old ball game?  Yep!
Bring your dog to the River Cats baseball game on Sunday August 23, 2009 for Bark in the Ballpark at Raley Field in Sacramento.  There will be a pre-game dog parade and field costume contest (dogs, not the people, will be in costume).  Of course you need not participate in the costume contest or parade to bring your dog and enjoy watching the ‘Cats play ball against the Portland Beavers.
The right field gate will be open at 11:30 a.m. for dogs and their owners.  The main gate will … (0 comments)

susan neal fine properties: Have you seen the new penny designs? Happy birthday Lincoln! - 08/13/09 04:33 PM
Have you seen the new penny designs?  Happy birthday Lincoln!  The face of the coin is the same, but the reverse side is one of four new designs, all in honor of Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday this year.  They are being rolled out one design at a time throughout the year.  Each design represents a different aspect of President Lincoln's life.
 One depicts a log cabin, representing his birth and early childhood in Kentucky; the next one shows him reading, in his formative years in Indiana; the third one, just out, shows him delivering a speech at the Old Capitol in … (9 comments)

susan neal fine properties: What clients want even more than your fancy website - 01/28/09 02:24 PM
Now I don't mean to imply that a good web presence is unimportant.  Obviously, I spend a great deal of time here on AR, working on my website, and I have an increasing presence on Facebook and LinkedIn, etc.  Google-juice is great and I want that.  But some agents seem to think that is all that they need and that clients should be happy to work with them because they hae all this fancy web stuff and can spout all kinds of facts and figures on housing and investing in real estate (also important to know, but....)
No matter how much we … (17 comments)

susan neal fine properties: Are you protected against medical identity theft? - 10/07/08 05:50 AM
Medical Identity Theft
With identity theft on the rise these days, most of us are already taking steps to protect ourselves. But did you know that there's now a growing form of identity theft known as "medical identity theft" that can not only devastate victims' finances, but also compromise their health, too. According to Joy Pritts, JD, author of Your Medical Record Rights, here's what you need to know.
What is Medical Identity Theft?
Medical identity theft occurs when criminals access victims' medical records. Since medical records contain a person's social security number and credit card information (if bills have been … (3 comments)

susan neal fine properties: I love technology, but "labor-saving"? ... NOT! - 09/24/08 04:31 PM
I have read a number of posts lately from different AR folks feeling overwhelmed by trying to keep up with technology and getting everything done that they need to do in a day.  At the risk of aging myself, I'll share a few thoughts that I have on the subject.
I remember when I first started my law practice, we typed everything and if there were changes to be made, we typed the whole thing over again.  When a client wanted something "right away" he meant to mail it to him withn a week.  We had no fax machine, no computer … (8 comments)

susan neal fine properties: Listing presentation long on preparation, short on delivery works for me! - 09/13/08 04:15 AM
Boy!  Was I glad I went to that listing presentation well prepared and with documentation!  I prepare a nice 3-ring binder with printouts of my power point presentation (about Century 21, my office and me) in the first section, the assessor's data about the property in the second section, my CMA and calculations for my pricing advice in the third section and a section for them to keep their documents about the transaction. If I get a chance to get a photo of their house, I put that on the cover of the binder, along with their names.

If it appears … (6 comments)

susan neal fine properties: I say "Hooray for caravans!" - 09/10/08 12:59 PM
I've seen several blog posts lately about the demise of broker tours and caravans of agents to listings.  Some people dislike them, while others love them.  I am part of the latter group.  I always learn a lot and it is fun to get to know the other agents in an informal setting.
Our local Association of Realtors has a weekly caravan of Realtors for each different area of the county, and we often pile several agents into each car and drive on a prescribed route so that we can get to the houses at about the same time.  The way … (2 comments)

susan neal fine properties: I just reached two milestones at once! - 09/05/08 08:59 PM
I just got 2 milestones all at once!  In 2 days I received 3 leads/referrals directly from Active Rain, and I have appointments with two of them already (one a seller and one a buyer), and at the same time I just noticed that I have over 10,000 points!
Open houses are picking up more and more, even without my dragging my backside around distributing flyers all over the place (just an ad in Craigs List), and I am beginning to feel like the tide is turning, big time!  I also last week had someone just read my website, liked what I … (44 comments)
