REEsults CoachingTM Enhances NP Dodge Agent Education
Commentary by Ralph R. Roberts

Ernie Cabrera posed the question "What do you do?" in his blog. The question involved someone calling you on one of your listings and asking to see it. Ernie tossed in the caveat that the person calling was represented by an agent. Would you go out an show them your listing?
Why would anyone build a house so poorly that termites, wood boring beetles, ants, and wood rot fungi would easily infest the structure? The answer is .......research and training. 
After two weeks, I have surprisingly and easily achieved my goal: to dominate the first page of a Google organic search. As of today, googling my name places me in the first 5 listing ranks on Google page 1. What does this mean? It is very important for people to find … (3 comments)
Keeping a Realtor interested is challenging in many areas of their lives. Attending Open Houses, Seminars and Training Sessions. With my background being in Corporate Training, I am often faced with the task of keeping Agents interested in various training topics.

People and dogs are different in "oh so many ways" but there are still things we can learn from the so-called lesser creatures. I really started to think about this after listening to Steve Morris talk about the rationale for creating Exit Realty. Mr. Morris positioned that people inevitably need to be convinced … (22 comments)
Creating S.M.A.R.T. Goals 
I am an agent in my first year in the business. It is not news that the real estate market is going through tough times. Motivation of agents should be of concern to every broker and I thought about baseball.

Now that the market has changed how many agents will stay working? New Jersey does not have continuing education. Maybe its time they started. My understanding is that the new rule is 80% of the money is earned by 20% of the agents. Think about the benefits of having your biggest … (2 comments)
I was driving on the NJ turnpike and got pulled over for maybe going just a little too fast. The nice State Police man said show me your license. To my dread I had left my license home. So I smiled and sheepishly looked up at the officer and said,
During a recent Buyer interview, the Buyer asked me if REALTORs are required to earn a 4-year degree in real estate.

This week i'm so excited to be taking a class by Carla Cross on Washington State Instructor Development. I cant help but wonder why more people aren't getting the certification.

During a training meeting for agents and loan officers with a CPA, I was surprised to see how much confusion there is about the tax deductibility of mortgage interest. Many agents seem to have a fair general knowledge of tax issues, but very little specific knowledge. While we are not able … (0 comments)

I have many people ask me how do you know when it is time to start a team? To be honest, if you haven't hired an adminstrative assistant yet, it's not time to start a time. So the next question is naturally, When do I know it is time to hire … (1 comments)
There is an old saying "that you can never go home again". Well yesterday I did just that. I attended a Picnic thrown by my previous Board of REALTORS in Ventura County, California where I practiced real estate for 16 years. I now live in a small town about 2 & 1/2 … (8 comments)

I simply cannot keep up with all the fun things that are going on in my life here in Sonoma. If you lived here, I'm sure it would be the same for you! (I know a great Realtor who can sell you a house!)
Ok, so the market is getting tougher; but you still want to increase your income over last year. So what to do? It's a dilemma; but you know what? It's really not.

Yes there are 43,560 square foot in an acre and of … (34 comments)
