Presentation is every thing:Since you are planning to sell your home, you are either planning to move into another home that you are purchasing or you will be renting. In either case, pack 50% of you home contents and put them away in storage. We usually find that homes contain just … (0 comments)
Fun marketing that works:
I was just curious to see what your office policy is... Do you allow outside vendors in to speak at your meetings?
Listing tips...

FREE for Buyers & Sellers!
Great video summarizing the benefits of advertising your listings with Baltimoresun.com & Homescape.com. Take a look and feel free to share with your sellers, brokers, & other agents. If this video were any better, I'd be out of a job

When buyers are ready to buy and sellers are ready to sell, they no longer use the Yellow Pages to find a real estate professional. Instead, they head straight for their computer and begin their search. When the prospective buyer or seller has found your site, are they going to stay there? … (8 comments)
Okay, so we're in a tough market.
What business are you really in?
We attended a lunch and learn session today and I was very disappointed. The presentor provided lunch (which was a nice benefit) and was selling a product that we use for most of our listings. We know the product because we use it so much, but others in the room did … (3 comments)
I just read the following entry on Flat Fee broker and got to thinking about a new brokerage in our area that is listing and giving access to the MLS for $300 plus offering the selling office (in this instance) $4,500. Anyone is free to pursue their own business model. However, this … (19 comments)
Happy Friday.
First, I want to say that I am writing this from a consumer's perspective not a Mortgage Broker! 
Now, more than ever, is the time to partner with a Mortgage Professional who knows FHA/VA Financing!
I was just turned onto www.webex.com
I very often have Agents tell me (or ask me why) they just don't understand why they didn't get a particular Buyer or Seller client ... afterall, they spent 30+ minutes talking about how great the company they work for is, how large the company's presence is, how impressive the company's list-to-sale ratio is and/or … (19 comments)
Well, it's here...
I have been working with Agents for 6 years helping them put together marketing plans to better sell themselves and the properties they represent, now that I am a full time REALTOR I have been reviewing these proposals and talking to many of my former clients and I've found that there … (2 comments)
What sets you apart from the other gagillion agents out there?
All of my hard work at networking and meeting local Realtors is starting to pay off. A very influential and top notch Realtor has asked me to do a staging class at her office. 
January and February is when home sellers begin thinking of listing their homes for spring sale. It's a time for also readying the property for the market. 
What is the first impression a buyer perusing the streets of a neighborhood have of you as a real estate professional?
As I sit today at my open house on a day with 81 degree weather, blue skies in Southern California I wonder why no one is visiting my open house.
Pictures don't lie. The eye of the camera is a truth tool.
All virtual tours are not created equally. When you are choosing your listing agent, make sure that you take the opportunity to really preview some of their on-line listing presentations. It's important to remember that widely distributed, quality photos of well-staged properties are critical to getting home buyers into their cars … (0 comments)
In reading an article written by the MSN Real Estate Staff, I have come across very valid points of interest in helping "stage" your home for sale.

If you, or anyone you know, is interested in the Myrtle Beach area... we'd like to hear from you!
Hi Everyone!
How do the search engines work?
So what does the homeowner really want to know when they ask a stager: 
Hi Everyone,
Have you had this objection during a listing presentation?
Are you a two stepper on a one stepper?? For the majority of my my career I believed to be an effective listing agent you had to be a one stepper. Go to the listing presentation with all of your tools. CMA's, brochures, testimonials, paperwork,etc. I truly thought that … (12 comments)
It's a nail biting time for most agents right now as they weather the storm of a downtrend in the Real Estate market. For urgent sellers the formula is simple; Price, Picture and of course Presentation. 
We all know that getting the listing is our lifeblood. Without them we obviously would not be able to sustain our careers. However, when you compromise your integrity and go so far as to buy a listing, you are not doing you or your client any favors.
Ok, so last night I'm watching the evening news and the Anchor is on location in the west side of Colorado Springs. People are Halloween decorating more and more these days and there are so many choices of props and do-dads that they decided to feature some "excessively decorated" homes on … (1 comments)
Everyday we make first impressions about people we meet. Whether it be right or wrong, everyone does it. This is especially true when we meet clients for the first time. Before you even open your mouth, the client will have determined, generally, whether or not they are going to list with … (11 comments)
Prior buyers' markets have shown that the condo sector will often take the brunt of the market slowdown. The results are reflected in the reduction of prices, along with units staying on the market for longer periods of time prior to selling. 
Your seller understandably thinks their home is the best on the market. And here's how to help them understand how to make the buyer see it that way, too:
I am in the process of completing a realtor presentation on the Mortgage Meltdown of 2007. If you are a real estate agent in the Metro Jackson, Mississippi area, please let me know! I would love to get you some information on the presentation and explain how it can be an … (0 comments)
At times the sellers themselves thwart the efforts of the Real Estate Agent. Nothing can be quite as frustrating as trying to pull all the weight when someone else is adding to the burden by being uncooperative!
Are you being truthful with your clients? Are you setting expectations correctly? I always am amazed with agents who tell their clients that their service exceeds expectations - really? No matter how good your service, if you just told me that, my expectations are now raised to a point where you … (4 comments)
Presentation Makes A Difference
I had an interesting conversation with a seller whose home I held open. Her home has been listed for some time and she has reduced the price but has had no offers and is getting concerned. She was close to tears today, lamenting that if she can't get enough proceeds from … (4 comments)
In the past seller's market properties could sell without too much attention to presentation and staging. Hindsight, this might have affected the time on the market and the price. Agents like myself, who entered into the business during the sellers market would often enable our seller's attitude "I'm not going to change … (3 comments)
I saw this in my local newspaper this morning.
I would like to know you like another agent to present an offer to you. I've been in the business for five years and I really like it when I get to know the other agent in person. I love preseting the offer in person if possible as well. I ask … (2 comments)
I found another great usage of background images by a RealBird member for creating listing presentation which not only delivers the facts about the marketed property but also delivers the mood and emphasizes important characteristics via images.
Does anyone have anything "FUN" and "SIMPLE" to share? I've found visuals to be a very effective tool when competing for a listing. What are some of the ideas you use? I would love to see something creative that best explains commission and how it splits. Please SHARE...this could be fun … (0 comments)
As I was enjoying my morning coffee, I was reading our local paper to see what has been going on good bad or indifferent in our neighborhood. The birds were chirping and I had the windows open for the morning breeze. Actually it has been cool the past few days and … (8 comments)
WellcomeMat was recently invited to speak as a panelist for the 2007 Real Estate Connect conference in San Francisco. The night before the presentation, we decided to do a quick apartment video tour of our friend's place. The following morning, while our cabby patiently waited for us out front, we quickly … (5 comments)
That's one of those old sayings that seems to be true. When taking photos for marketing your home, whether for-sale-by-owner or a seller ready to hire a realtor, the photos that are taken are so important.
As market conditions continue to go into a normal market, agents have to work for and earn listings. I have spent quite a bit of time developing a power point presentation for listing appointments. I am quite proud of it, however I have not used it yet. I find myself taking … (4 comments)

You've done it! You're in the meeting with the client - you've done the hard part, getting the actual appointment, so why are your palms sweating, why have you spent the last 10 minutes in the car out the front of the house double checking paperwork and rehearsing your opening lines … (0 comments)

Yessirree, geni.com has got the total package! Or should I say, "I got the package". 
For Buyers... When trying to land a buyer client, you are competing against every other agency in the business. Keep in mind, they don't have to pay for anything. You are not charging for their services, you get your cut from the sale. What makes you different? Unless they are a family … (2 comments)
Home staging has been around since the mid-70's and has been quietly utilized by a select few. Since the late 1990's it has become a fresh standard in service and marketing in the real estate industry. As buyers have become more sophisticated, marketing, too, must become more refined. Staging is … (2 comments)
Ever wonder what more you can do to increase your chances of getting the listing? I can't get enough of these kind of tips because they are so vital to our business!
The past four listing appointments I have gone on, I have been informed that they have done extensive research. They told me this upfront. Why? I can only guess to let me know they couldn't be fooled or lied to. Anyways, I did not ask them what they were thinking for … (14 comments)
The housing market has become much more competitive. Many communities are beginning to see homes remain longer on the market and the bargaining pendulum swing in favor of the buyer. This is called a buyer's market, as the number of available homes outnumbers the buyers. As a seller, your challenge is … (0 comments)
Since you are in a service industry, you already have a great asset to help you understand how best to create a Home page (and, for that matter, the rest of your site) - yourself or other salespeople in your own real estate office. More than anyone else, salespeople interact daily … (2 comments)
You Or ME ? 
Though the public opinion is that the real estate market has slowed down this past year, it is still a good time to sell. Statistically speaking, YES sales are down and in some areas home values have even dropped. However, this market change is a healthy one that will help our real … (3 comments)
Allan S Boress wrote a book titled "The "I HATE Selling' Book." I have the priviledge of knowing Mr. Boress personally. And he has given me the green light to touch on some topics within his book.
Many Buyers want a Home Warranty on a resale property, however, many Sellers are unaware that they can have warranty protection during the listing period, for FREE! Many Home Warranty companies offer a free Seller Home Warranty in the hope that they will be selected for the Buyer Home Warranty at … (0 comments)
This is a fun way to get the point across and a good visual aide to those clients who would like you to cut your commission. When I was new to the biz someone showed me a little trick to keep your 6%. Take 6 one dollar bills (or business cards but … (8 comments)
