real estate: Mesa Arizona Crime Stats - Crime Drops As Public and Police Talk! 2007-2008 - 04/16/08 08:07 PM
For those living in Mesa, Arizona and those thinking of moving to Mesa, credit for a large crime drop apparently is attributed, at least in part, to Mesa police Chief George Gascón who first came to the city from Los Angeles in July 2006. The East Valley Tribune reported today, April

real estate: Phoenix Valley Real Estate Market - January 2007-March 7, 2007 - Stats - 03/08/08 11:10 PM
I wanted to check out the comparisons from this year to last year during the same period. I'm liking how the graphs show so clearly what is happening with the market. So, I created another graph - similar to the one I submitted for Phoenix, Arizona from January 1, 2007 -

real estate: Creating a Graph - Just Go to Google and Type in CREATE A GRAPH!!! - 03/07/08 05:59 PM
Several of our Active Rainers have shared how to do a simple graph. Going to google and typing in "create a graph" took me to several options and I selected the Kids Zone how to. Pretty simple, actually. I opted for the pie chart, but may get more creative down the

real estate: Words - Nothing Whatsoever About Real Estate!! - 06/04/07 12:09 PM
I was thinking this morning about the "hip" or "cool" words I used in the 50's - or so - and some of the words used today. Some examples: 1- keeping this on the "down low" - meaning "don't tell anyone" 2 - Stay out of my kool-aid - meaning stay out of my

real estate: Home prices in Phoenix, Arizona down since January 2007! Sellers competing with 53,500 other Listings in our MLS! - 06/01/07 11:33 AM
Sales prices have steadily headed down since January 2007. For the most part, those homes that were listed four, six, eight, 12 months ago were listed too high! Therefore, they missed a window of opportunity to sell their homes. Just as we, as Realtors, buyers, sellers, need to watch the market

real estate: A Question About How To Associate, Why Associate, and some other Queries! - 05/13/07 04:32 PM
I really have looked to find "how" to associate with another blogger, but so far, I've not been able to find out. I would really like to know "how" and "why." I see that others have "associated" with me, but for the life of me, no answers that I can find. I've

real estate: Just a small post this time - I promise! Does anyone other than me find AR addictive? - 05/12/07 07:35 PM
What is THAT all about? There are soooooo many interesting blogs and such a varied array of topics and comments that I have to literally stop myself from going to AR. I stayed pretty much away for six or eight months but now......hmmmmm. Is there an AR anonymous? This is such

Okay, I am getting the hang of AR, and hopefully my link will work. Just yesterday I shared some ideas for keeping in touch with your "to be" clients and former clients. You can read that entry at: http://activerain.com/blogsview/95708/Do-you-keep-in. Some of the other wonderful things I do that "wow" my sellers are

real estate: How frequently do you change your photo on your business cards? - 05/10/07 12:34 PM
Hopefully none of us hand our card to someone who looks at the card, and then back to us, with a facial expression which helps us know that they are wondering to themselves, "How long ago was this taken?" :-) I've had people say to me when I hand them my

real estate: Continuing Education! How valuable? CRS? ePRO? GRI? ABR? Broker's? - 05/10/07 11:45 AM
How valuable do other Realtors find continuing education? I, for one, LOVE the education that these designations/certifications offer. Let me share a quick personal story: Though I had achieved the CRS designation and taken the 204 class previously, last year when it was offered in our area with a different instructor, I

real estate: Are you working harder and making less these days? So am I!!! - 04/13/07 12:49 AM
Doesn't it feel like we work much harder these days to satisfy our buyers? Does it seem as if they have a sense of entitlement because it is a "buyer's" market? Just 18 months ago the shoe was definitely on the other foot. Now buyers have so many homes from which to
