This is the first in a series of posts about the elements of a successful newsletter. 1. The Reader.
In an effort to make it easier for other agents to send me referrals, both within Coldwell Banker or other companys, nationally or internationally, I created referral forms in PDF format that can be downloaded, filled out and faxed to me by my toll-free fax number! I even filled out the … (9 comments)

I think these are so much better than open houses. You hold them on weekdays and invite fellow Realtors. Typically, they are during lunch time. If you ask your favorite banker, they may join you and help to pay for the refreshments. Here is my favorite part. Need a price reduction, … (2 comments)

Hello everyone. After spending a lot of time focusing on new ways to network with other agents for the purpose of referrals, I thought an AR group may be a great way to progress my efforts.
I recently had a situation where I feel I did the right thing, but can't help feeling a little unsettled about it. I had a client, who is also a potential referral source, looking for a home equity loan. As a mortgage banker, my company offers excellent purchase money second mortgages. However, … (18 comments)
There have been many articles written about the growing multicultural market in the U.S. Are you kidding? How about the fact that this country has been multicultural, since its discovery?

Well, for one, both have reputations of having a less than stellar code of ethics. Sleazy cemetery salesmen are notorious for taking advantage of vulnerable people in their time of need, and Hard Money Lenders are categorized as loan sharks without the henchmen. For me, the commonality is that I've had careers … (11 comments)
I've had more than one instance where I was asked by past buyer to not only list their home for sale in my area, but to help them find another home in another area outside of my usual territory. My first instinct was to refer these families to someone in that area, but … (2 comments)
My personal take on marketing is to market the listings I have thoroughly in print, online, and mailing open house invitations to move up neighborhoods.

I speak with many loan officers who complain that they are having trouble getting referrals from real estate agents.

One of the highest professional accolades that we can receive is a referral. I was asked recently by a new agent how to get referrals. Referrals are not something that will come over night; they are something that is built through time and consistency. Actually, you do not "get" referrals; you "receive" … (56 comments)
How much effort do you put into educating consumers, either in person or on your website/blog? In my experience the more educated a customer is the easier they are to work with and as a customer I a more inclined to work with someone who takes the time to educate me … (0 comments)
Virgin America Airlines, that is! 
I was talking to an agent the other day and they were grumbling about the fact that they think they should be getting more referrals. They send post cards, emails, etc. They have a website and run a radio ad, but they feel that they should be getting more business from … (2 comments)
I asked this question at a presentation I made in front of my networking group the other day. The way I see it, most of our clients ask our opinion, and the opinion of the lender involved in the transaction. The problem is, these two people both stand to make a … (10 comments)
I read my quick intoduction and thought of course I want referrals, but then I thought wow, there is some meat in the context here, (yes, I am a newbie) I had better explain a little about myself before I assume the referrals are going to be flying in.

There are several ways to keep up with past customers, especially with all the electronic gadgets that are out, I found one way to keep in front of my customers is find out their Birthday or the Birthday of their children if you get that far with them, and add them … (56 comments)
How can the average real estate agent survive? 
I'm going to go out on a limb here and be quite honest. I am newer to the mortgage business, and it seems that everyone recommends that I partner up with realtors to drive my loan origination business. That makes sense, but it seems as though for every realtor there are … (6 comments)
I have been invited to LinkedIn by a number of associates in the past couple months. I finally signed up and am starting to build my LinkedIn network. It is really interesting to see who is in the networks of my contacts.
I'd really love to know what motivates a Realtor to want to refer a stager to a client or not. I would love to understand the factors you use to determine if the property is in need of staging or not. Some thoughts I came up with and it can be a YES … (6 comments)

Yes, I am a lender. In fact I have been for almost 9 years now. I know lots of other lenders who bitch and moan about realtors. Admittedly, from time to time, I'm among them. However, purchase business is without question, the best way to add new relationships into the fold.
So this is my 100th post - YAY :)
Okay, I am really going to try not to be pessimistic in this post, even if I may be feeling that way. I really do live by the basic principle that what you put out, you get back. Put out kindness, decency, fairness, etc., and that is what will be returned … (3 comments)
Are you giving something to your clients after your transaction is complete? I'm wondering how many of you are doing this? There are some of you that are giving cash back on real estate deals to buyers which is illegal and I don't think anyone will admit it but, how many of … (47 comments)
I was talking to my friend Ahmed Ammar today about building business, and addressing niches today. 
One of my mottos that I use when I speak to Realtors about doing business together is:
