I was just talking to my wife this week about how things have slowed down for me lately. Don't be concerned for me, I still have a few listings and I have 4 deals closing next month alone. I'll be OK! It is a bit disconcerting when the phone doesn't ring … (5 comments)

I was Blessed to be invited to join a BNI chapter last year and have benefitted immensely from membership. Some folks think that a hard contact group where you must pay dues is altogether a bad thing. And what about the weekly meeting that must be attended? Let me explain.A group of 15 … (9 comments)
"Activity breeds success!" I'm not sure who originally coined that term, but I believe it more and more with each passing day.
What did I do wrong?Have you ever wondered why you have not heard from some clients in awhile?According to several studies, the number one reason clients go away is an "attitude of neglect or indifference."
I was listening to the radio as I was organizing my new bedroom and I heard something that I found to be very interesting and I think you will too. There was a simple question in regards to when you enter a store which way do you normally turn once you enter?
Everyone has someone to thank. One of my recent Posts had a comment on there about not forgetting who helped us get to where we are today. Who helped us when we were the "Newbie" in the office? And have we remembered to Thank them.....
Presumably when you see those taillights driving away after a successful closing, you are waving good-bye to a new friend or two. You may have been the first "real" person they met in your town, you may have been their confidante during house-choosing (or design-chossing) sessions, you may have counseled them … (7 comments)

Many moons ago, Jeff Belonger http://activerain.com/jeffmortgageman and I met up in Philly for a few cigars, NCAA basketball March Madness, food, and some .... 'beverages'.
Do you ever wonder why the older or seasoned Real Estate Agents seem to be the most successful? Do they work harder? Do they know the business better? Do they have incredible Web Sites? Innovative Marketing techniques?The answer is referrals. It's all about referrals in Real Estate. I know an incredibly seasoned and … (6 comments)

This is my first blog. I was never really good at journaling, I would start and then move on to something else. I have at least 20 journals around the house that have a few months of my life in them. 
I have been thinking lately about the things that we must do as real estate professionals to keep a client for life. I don't just mean putting that line on our website or business card, but REALLY keeping and wowing clients for life. One of the reasons I respect my broker … (4 comments)

Read Time: 5-6 mins: well worth it, I promise
The longer I am in this business the more I am amazed at the big guys that make big mistakes. I just saw that Countrywide has taken a 11.5 Million dollar bail out loan to protect their assets and avoid bankruptcy. Ok so far, but wait, the next sentence said that … (3 comments)
I recently learned of a loan officer who does business only with people who refer his business. 
In a previous post, I introduced Compass Properties new International Affiliate Program. I'll admit it - I copied and pasted it from an email I received from our CEO. Of course, I do take credit for adding the pictures.

Has anyone had any experience with this or heard anything about them?
I found this recently on AgentInnerCircle.com... Here's a revealing fact: The National Association of REALTORS® produces an annual research report called Profile of Buyers and Sellers. It's filled with lots of facts and figures, but the most startling fact they've discovered is that approximately 74% of all real estate transactions occur … (14 comments)
Was Asked Tonight: I'm putting you on the spot "Why are you in Real Estate" ....my answer came immediatley "Because I LOVE IT"

What are the TOP 50 Cities to Live in the USA & Canada? 
I recently had the pleasure of referring one my clients to a fellow Rainer.........I wanted to share with you some of the things that I like about Jennifer Bukaty.
The Japanese have a beautiful way of doing business that I learned while living there and making friends with shop keepers and restaurant owners. This mindset is truly "foreign" to the American business community. Since learning of this at a young age, I have adopted it as my referral plan. It … (13 comments)
I have talked to my friends at American Home Mortgage. I guess Indy Mac has taken a lot of the branches out west and has "cherry picked" some of the other branches....
I just had the very highest form of compliment I have ever imagined. I was talking with a current client of mine who has been hurt in life a lot. She lost her husband a year or so ago. She also lost her mother quite recently. She is buying her first … (18 comments)
Have you ever made a referral that didn't turn into a paycheck? It might make you think, "Why go through the effort?" and just not bother in the future. When making referrals, most agents make the mistake of simply trying to find a highly qualified agent. But an agent's experience is … (1 comments)
I I just had to let everyone know! We just received our first actual call in lead from the Internet. We have had leads from our website that were not very focused leads. They are in our database and we have a system to stay in touch.
I just got back from my weekly networking meeting and one of the questions that we all had is what is your greatest referral source. 
Clap your hands!!! You must believe in the RAIN!!! We have been with ActiveRain since May and we just received our first referral from Tina Maraj-Shah from RE/MAX of North Orange County in California.
An interesting phenomenon just happened to me in the last week that I thought I would share with you. It really is about first impressions and referrals - to me it is the name of the game, particularly in this challenging real estate market. I telephoned three people, two in business to … (13 comments)

How often at conventions and in your mailbox do you get postcards saying, 
I had a client about a year ago that needed to get her home sold. To say the least it was not an easy sale. Lots of damage to the house and the parts that where fixed where not so attractive. The day before closing she had 2 broken down cars towed … (32 comments)
We received three Buyer leads this morning from our website at www.nwrealty.com. All need attention and there are no strings attached. Just give me a call if you work in these areas and can help. Or pass the information on to someone that does work there.
Just the other day I was asked by someone in the mortgage business exactly what he would need to do to help lock in some business and/or referrals from other Realtors. He wanted to know exactlty what he could teach his loan officers that would help them gain more business from Realtors.
I noticed it right away on the home page of ActiveRain this morning when I signed on.
I have been on Active Rain for a few months now. I find the participation amazing, the quality of the posts, the amount of information that is available and for the most part the wonderful attitude and sense of community. The individuals who started and watch over us do just a … (4 comments)
Brian Buffini's One Hundred Days to Greatness program encourages agents - new and veteran - to write five (yes, that's 5!) thank you notes a day. He says it's that handwritten personal touch that really sets you apart from others.
