Has anyone tried holding an Open House from the comfort of your own home?
In the mail, I mean. So many people use technology nowadays to communicate that the good old U. S. mail is becoming a thing of the past. Well, I'm still on everybody's junk mail list because every time I buy something online, my name and address goes into databases, and then … (14 comments)
I'm working on developing materials for a new class I'm teaching on Social Networking and Blogging. My first class, on Aug. 26th, is to a group of real estate agents. My second class is to a group of real estate branch office managers. Right at this moment I'm wondering why I chose … (13 comments)

Like most Realtors(r) I had my own fax here in my home office from day 1 of my business. Since I work from home driving to the office every time to send something or get it was just too much of a pain in the butt to handle it any other … (11 comments)
"Your e-mail is important to me. Typically I read and respond to e-mail between the hours of 11:00am - 12:00pm and then again between 5:00pm - 6:00pm" 
A lot of things bug me. One of them is seeing a company with a website that doesn’t have email @ that website. For example, their business card will read:

When opportunity knocks we're all ready to answer the door. It's great to have someone walk into the office looking for agent. They're ready to buy NOW! How often does that happen? Not as much as we would all like.
Hi All,
I have recently joined the ranks of the mobile email crowd and am so surpirssed to learn about what I have been missing. As a Realtor I always knew how important email was to my bussiness, but, it wasnt until I was free from it that I realized how much my … (4 comments)
So, over the past 5 years I have purchased probably 250 domain names, email accounts, website accounts, hosting accounts and virtually everything else GoDaddy has to offer. Yesterday I stumbled across something and am surprised I never paid it any attention before!!!!

We all know that being in the Real Estate business requires of staying in touch with your business 24/7. No matter where we are, we need to be up to date with E-mails, appointments, closing dates, contacts etc.
Email in my desktop started doing some funny things this morning when an email I attempted to reply to would not move from my outbox and I could not delete it. The sender called me and said he had received 21 emails from me in response to his. My sent file does not show … (3 comments)
Folks, my website has paid for itself over and over and over again. I am getting hits, emails, and phone calls from the East Coast and the West Coast. My partner and I share a website. Both of us work at keeping it up to date with relevant information. Although we … (7 comments)
I thought I would share this with those who, like me, have multiple e-mail accounts.
I have a blackberry addiction. There. I've said it. I feel anxious when I can't find my phone or leave it behind, and the mere feel of the device in my hand gives me a sense of overwhelming comfort. As disturbing as my PDA dependence might be, I have noticed that I … (5 comments)

I help real estates all the time with their internet marketing. It's what I do. One of the most common mistakes I see agents make is not collecting email addresses of their clients and prospects. And for those that do, they don't utilize the power of email marketing.
Hello: Everyone
Now that Top Producer 7i users are getting free upgrades to the new Top Producer 8i a lot of people are re-evaluating their situations.
Be careful, I just received this e-mail and I know it is a SPOOF.
An increasingly large number of my RE clients are getting Blackberrys (or is it Blackberries...) and other texting devices. After all, it's a tried-and-tested technology for those on the move. But speed and convenience seems to be leading to short replies that may be misinterpreted...
I'm an email junkie, not to mention a time management junkie. So when I started seriously reading blogs about two years ago I decided to subscribe to blogs via email. As the number of blogs which I followed grew close to 100, this became challenging -- I was getting 100 emails … (8 comments)

When you submit an offer or make a counteroffer, many realtors still prefer to fax the documents to each other. Each time when you fax a document, you lose the clarity of the document. How many times have you seen an illegible contract after the contract being faxed back and forth several times.
I am a Curve Loving Blackberry user. Many agents in my office had the Palm Treo, but they have, one by one, changed over to the BB Curve. We are a LARGE company, with 68 offices. The #4 Company in the country. Therefore, we have corporate mail, and the phones with … (7 comments)
This information came through in one of those emails that go around from time to time. I have no idea if it is accurate or where the original source is, so I thought I'd post it to see if anyone can verify it. At the very least, it's interesting reading!
Love it or leave it, you have to accept that there is a very good chance you will be frustrated by some form of technology today. Scanner not working, printer jammed, pages not getting to my cell phone, memory card is full, batteries are empty, GPS is outdated, laptop has a … (3 comments)
Often web users forget all about common courtesy once they get online. They seem to forget that they are interacting with other people with feelings just like their own, not soulless computers.
Back in the day I loved Cox e-mail. I could check it using my cell phone and it was a great service. Ever since they stopped allowing me to do that, I've felt out of touch when not sitting right in front of my computer. The other day I started having … (4 comments)
I just had a colleague pop their head in my office and jokingly asked "did I not have any work to do?" It got me wondering how many people just don't get it? Blogs are not very popular around here YET but I want to stay well ahead of the pack … (22 comments)
marketing strategy
Yanno, you can live on a laptop. Or at least near a laptop. A little tiny palm tree, drink with umbrella, bowl of snacks and a dinghy nearby while your toes rub the warm sand, and it could be daaaays before you lift your head from the heady environs of Twitter, … (5 comments)
When I first started a report on online real estate marketing for MarketingSherpa, I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew realtors utilize online listing sites like Zillow, Realtor.com, and others but I didn't know the extent to which they were using blogs, social networks, online lead sellers, or email. I've … (9 comments)

Here's a quick one to think about that should free up plenty of your valuable time:
Email is now part of the daily routine. We email for work and for fun. You can change any email account (web based or not) to include a signature. This signature would be included in every one of your emails. I always put my name comma title and undeneath that line … (0 comments)
Do you receive emails from other Realtors, Lenders or business people who do not include their contact information in their emails or there are a million typos or all CAPS? Even a last name would be nice. The email "firstname@xyzproperties.com" is not enough for me to know who this person is. I … (4 comments)

Are you trying to find the perfect home? Are you tired of renting? Are you tired of being tired? 
With the tools we have these days communications can happen very quickly. Most of us are "connected" and then some. I prefer communications with almost everyone to be by email, at least in a business context. The simple reason is that I want a record of what I say and what … (0 comments)
I was pondering this question this morning. On the weekend the emails are down. The junk mail is still up, but most of it goes to the junk mail folder. During the week I have property searches saved that email me the results. I do this for the agents that list … (12 comments)
If you use Outlook then make sure you add more than just your name to show up when you send out emails. Look at the example below: The first email is showing from Teresa McDonald, ABR, e-Pro
I recieve about 30-40 eflyers a day about properties available in the Chicago area. I end up opening less than 5 because of the subject line (or lack thereof) I see on most of them. For instance, this morning I received four that said in the subject line "Open House - Sunday 6/15 … (2 comments)

How Much Is Too Much

I get a lot of e-mails, but not as much as my husband who deals with over 1300 e-mails on a regular basis. For those that need managing, here are few simple steps I learned from the Realtor Magazine.
My friends and I have been trying to get a friend to communicate with us in the new style for years:
Are you new? Ask yourself the following question...............why the he!! am I here? If you are here to post listings or if you suffer from bad picture on my business card-idus and want to continue that obnoxious behavior here; then let me help you stop before you hurt yourself.
Here's a great list of best practices to keep in mind as an Agent. Also, take a look at the "official Rob and Rachel blog" at www.parkcitywire.com!
I have read a lot about newsletters as an integral part of an overall marketing strategy. I know that many real estate professionals utilize these on a regular basis. I am a big proponent and practioner of sending personalized cards and notes via the United States Postal Service. That said, I … (17 comments)

Ok,
Those of you in the Mohave Valley area who have Frontier communications (Frontiernet.net) as your email provider need to be aware of some recent issues with Frontiers email service.

What does your email address say about you? Does your email address end in 'yahoo.com', 'aol.com', 'comcast.net' or some other ISP ending? If you are using an email address linked to your internet service provider, then you are saying that you aren't taking your business as seriously as you could. I … (34 comments)
Did you know that there are people out there that haven't got a clue what people are trying to say to them. It's not their fault. They are listening - and reading, and just don't get it. It is probably that nobody ever taught them. Are you in with the techno lingo? … (10 comments)
Federal CAN-SPAM law updates: Email Marketing Basics You Should Knowby Lisa Wells

It just makes me cringe when someone in business sends me an email and instead of their domain, they have @comcast.net or even worse, @aol.com. That to me screams they're either clueless or they just don't care. Most common lame excuse: "I've had this address for a long time and it … (6 comments)
Have you ever noticed when you subscribe to a magazine or renew your drivers license your junk mail increases? I once subscribed to TV Guide and accidently misspelled my name on the order form. After that the junk mail started rolling in with my misspelled name.
How many times have we sent an email to someone before we were ready because we inadvertently or hastily punched the "send" button when we hadn't checked to make sure the attachments were there or that we had proofread the note - or that we had spellchecked it? Ever panic because … (8 comments)
