I'll admit it, I do not show properties very often. I am primarily a listing agent so when I show properties to a potential buyer, it is always an "experience" for me. Yesterday, I had one of those "experiences" as I showed properties to a client in the $180,000-$250,000 price range.
As a real estate professional you have an important task of keeping your clients satisfied. One of the key factors in keeping your clients satisfied requires you to be available to your client when they are available. After all, they've chosen you to work for them. (I know, I should be … (3 comments)
We have been asking Agents what is it that makes them feel most out of control and what they do about it. If you would like to send me what makes you feel most out of control and what you do about it. Send it to Rich@RichLevin.com.
I would like to say congratulations to our sales team for reaching their 2nd Qtr. goal of $420,000 of revenue. This is quite the accomplishment in an economy that is squeezing every last dollar of discretionary income from families and businesses. This is proof positive that that what makes the difference … (0 comments)

Typically when showing a house to a buyer they usually come with a friend. More often than not, it's the wife and kids plus occasionally their parents come too, to offer guidance and concerned advise. Most of my showing appointments are pretty normal and uneventful as to the people. However, sometimes … (60 comments)

Please bear with myself as well as my area Realtors as we transition from Supra brand lock boxes to Sentrilock. As a board we feel the technology Sentrilock offers is far superior to that of Supra, and less cumbersome in our day to day activities working for nice folks like yourself. 
Today I was looking on a popular business networking site when I saw the following question posted:
I wanted to first say thank you to all of our employees, families, friends and clients regarding the June floods. The overwhelming love and support in this difficult time is appreciated by all of us. If you are not familiar with the June flooding or the damage caused by it please … (0 comments)

The other day I was talking with a older person whose family was trying to get her to move. I found myself saying emphatically: "Don't do anything you don't want to. But DO everything that you want to." And when I was done, it felt good and right. 
You would THINK that after all these years, I'd remember to confirm my appointments EVERY TIME. But nooooo, I was too busy and too rushed. Thursday evening I get a web inquiry on a listing. I pencil in the appointment for 2:00-2:30 meeting time as the buyer wasn't sure exactly what … (5 comments)
Or why not?
I just read Gary Woltal's blog on working hard. I had done a blog a while back entitled "Back to the basics"
How many of us are using a bad market as an excuse not to do the things that made you successful in the first place. … (8 comments)
Several years ago, I walked into the office of a fellow realtor and noticed a small desk plaque that changed my outlook on life. It said:
I have a jammed back day of appointments tomorrow. First I am getting to the office early to submit an offer I wrote tonight. Next I am meeting with a seller for final signatures on an offer that was accepted today. Then I am showing 20 houses to 4 different buyers. … (16 comments)
PROFESSIONAL Real estate agents realize their time is important, as well as the the time of a Buyer and/or Seller. Important does not indicate "superior" by any means. So, when you are going to be early or late for an appointment, call the recipient of your appointment and let them know. … (4 comments)
I showed a house yesterday... Well, I showed 11 houses yesterday, but this one was interesting. It's hard to describe the words. Here was the picture from the MLS. There were no additional pictures either, just this one. It actually peeked my buyers' attention thinking, it's such a beautiful sunset, it must represent … (58 comments)
There are tons of real estate agents out there. Many people are innundated with the choice as to which agent to choose when buying a home . Here are some hints for the consumer to realize the difference between an average and a great agent:
I have run in to this situation a few times over the past few months. I am working with clients (couples) who can't make up their minds!! Before I even take buyers out to show them houses, I qualifiy them and try to narrow down their needs as much as possible. I even … (4 comments)
New Hampshire is near record snowfall for the winter of 2007-2008. Thus-far our state capital, Concord, NH has recorded over 112 inches of the white stuff and as we saw on Saturday, 3/1/08, when 10 +/- inches fell we are close to breaking the all time record 122 inches. Since there is still … (17 comments)
Anyone feel the pinch, money and/or time wise when a spouse undergoes surgery?
Oh Boy! Now I probably should not say this, because I don't want to jinx myself, but, 
Step 8 - Convert more leads to appointments
Tomorrow my husband returns to work after a very, very long break. I sometimes envy him his corporate ways. He goes to his job, does not work overtime, comes home, and forgets about it all. He has ample vacation time when no one calls him for work purposes. There may be unfinished projects … (1 comments)
I have a pet peeve. Ok, I have several, but I have acknowledged that which is the first step in eliminating them. Driving to my in-laws this weekend for an early Christmas get together I had the opportunity to see, what I consider, several inconsiderate drivers. You may have come across … (0 comments)
Too often one of our listed clients will call and say that the agent who made an appointment to show the house didn't show up. I always tell my listed clients to turn every light in the house on, open the blinds, leave and the person showing should turn off the lights.
This blog post was requested as a result of my previous FEATURED POST, How to WIN the LISTING APPOINTMENT & Get a TOP DOLLAR COMMISSION EVERY TIME! at the request of KAREN HURST.
Building a Systems Based Business
Setting Appointments SuccessfullyAccording to scholars, there was a simple game of chance in ancient times where each player took a turn grabbing a stick, one hand above the next. The last person able to grab the stick was the winner; they had the "upper hand."That phrase has survived for hundreds of … (8 comments)
When I started in this business I used a little appointment book that I carried everywhere. That and my cell phone were like extensions of my body! Well, times change and ever so slowly, so do I.....
As a real estate agent, my schedule is subject to change. I'm good with being flexible when it comes to inspections, closings, appointment times, etc. What I am not good at is taking a day, or even an hour, off for myself. When it comes to being dual career - family and real … (0 comments)
I know, you've all probably experienced this type of an event. But I don't think it hurts to bring it up, AGAIN. Maybe...just maybe, the few Realtors that behave in this way, will finally recgonize themselves and CHANGE their ways. YEAH, WE'RE TALKIN' ABOUT YOU!
Tame the Tension 
If you're not consistently, effectively following up on ALL of your leads, you are wasting the time and money you invested in creating, or buying those leads. Does any of this sound familiar?
I love showing homes. Which is good because it is my source of income!!!!!
Sometimes it just doesn't make sense to have a client come to your office and go with you to see one of your listings. If they live near the house they want to see, and it's your listing and you want to sell it, you aren't going to make the prospect … (2 comments)
Once all the prep work is done and your ready to go to the actual appointment what do you do to put yourself in your chosen frame of mind for your listing appointments? One thing I like to do is listen to some good music.......something that makes me move in … (7 comments)
Have you ever paid attention to when buyers are ready to make purchase decisions? Not counting relocating families who have to make a quick decision, is there a pattern? I am usually prepared to show properties some portion of all seven days ( yes, I do take time off) and, … (2 comments)
