A few weeks ago, I was sitting in the office of a very successful Realtor after completing a Home Inspection for one of her clients. I asked her how she was doing in sales. She smiled, pointed to a stack of pending closings, and mentioned that six would close by that Friday.

Yesterday, I took a customer to see a home listed by another broker here in town. The home is vacant and we used the lock box to get in.
I am constantly being asked, when is the market going to change? Will prices recover? How much longer will properties continue to devaluate? The tense tone of our nation when it comes to real estate is a topic for serious discussion. Home ownership is the backbone of our economy, and the system that ensures … (6 comments)

After seeing all the great photos from the Arizona Real Estate Blogging Network, I'm reminded to share that the Scottsdale Area Association of REALTORS is hosting a Technology Symposium, and you are invited to attend.
The 2006 Harris Poll revealed that 20% of the respondents distrust real estate agents. Often times, this distrust stems from a cannibalization of the profession by shortsighted representatives searching to make money without having to work for it. Occasionally, a particular display of ignorance will cause the animosity to grow. As … (5 comments)

What a great day today! Things were really buzzing here at the office. Earlier in the week we held a session on building neighborhood reports to help us maintain contact with our clients. I promised the team that I would pick up postage for any reports completed by Friday. Congratulations to … (1 comments)
I'm surprised how many licensed agents don't know the difference between a Real estate sales person and a Realtor. If you don't belong to it don't pretend you do and advertise it....If your office says it's a Realtor office all agents in the office should be Realtors as well. 
Today is St Georges day in England (i'm English). Personally I believe Edward the Confessor should be the patron saint of England, after all not only was he a King (and is a Saint) he was also English, St George was Turkish! Edward is the patron saint of the Royal Family.

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! Relaxation, What's that? My gears are al ready turning and my focus is the upcoming week, client activities, completion of projects, and the question of "what new niches can I learn to help my customers"!
