for agents: What the heck is up with Buyers today??? - 05/19/08 11:22 PM

So today I'm in a bank and i hear the loan officer tell the buyer, "hey if you want my honest opinion the real estate market is going to be going down at LEAST until October. If I was investing I'd definitely wait."
I was totally shocked. Here's a guy that's … (13 comments)

for agents: 21 things I wish I had known before getting into Real Estate. - 05/15/08 12:42 PM

21 things I really wish I had known before getting into real estate:
•1.       Success isn't about knowing everything real estate-it's about lead generation.
•2.       It's not easy money. There are long hours, crazy clients going through life changes and worried they're making mistakes.
•3.       You don't work for yourself. Anyone … (19 comments)

for agents: Lead Generation-- the Scariest phrase in real estate! - 05/09/08 02:01 PM

From Seth Godin's Blog:
The (stupid) diet
My friend Chris told me about a diet he used to use to lose weight. He would eat what he wanted five days a week and fast two days a week.
No, that doesn't work.
The parallel to marketing seems pretty obvious, doesn't it?

for agents: Revisiting "Happily Ever After" - 10/20/07 08:35 PM

I just finished writing a MeMe. In it, I talked about how much I love old movies. I do love old movies but I also just love movies in general. I especially like "chick flicks" that end with a "Happily ever after". I drag my husband, kicking and screaming into the … (36 comments)

for agents: I Want YOU to Be a Guest Author - 10/16/07 09:47 AM

I feel like Uncle Sam this week, as we've been preparing for the premiere issue of the 411 Real Estate Place newsletter! Before I get to that, I guess I should start with some background information. In case you missed it, I just (a week or so ago) launched a new … (4 comments)

Aren't blogs wonderful things? My background before real estate was advertising and marketing. I was the owner of a graphic design company and we did everything from corporate IDs to websites. I have to say this forum for real estate is fantastic.
I recently started my own real estate blog, www.homegrrl.wordpress.com … (4 comments)

for agents: The Most Effective Lead Generating Tool - 08/29/07 10:23 PM

It's probably a safe assumption to make that we are in a shifting market. (No matter where you live.) Homes aren't selling as fast as they use to and it's harder to get qualified to buy if your credit isn't perfect. As Real estate agents, we use all different methods to … (39 comments)

I've received several emails from my ActiveRain colleagues regarding our company's reduced commission rates. I thought I would answer a few common questions that can help you decide if it is right for you.
Q: Is this limited service?
A: No, we offer full service residential at 4.9% (land and commercial at higher … (1 comments)

for agents: All I really need to know about real estate...I learned in Kindergarten... - 08/04/07 06:38 PM

All I really need to know about real estate...I learned in kindergarten...not real estate school. The problem with Realtors, I often think, is that we all went to real estate school. And the problem with real estate school is that the classes are all taught by Realtors. Granted, I've had wonderful … (48 comments)
