I think everyone knows from my weekly 45 second commercials that I am looking for referrals to your friends, family and associates that are having life changing events this Spring. Liz and I are committed to working with our clients before, during and after the transaction.

HOWEVER, I AM A REALTOR AND LOVE TO HELP PEOPLE WITH REAL ESTATE RELATED ISSUES. IF REAL ESTATE IS INVOLVED AND IT IS IN THE UNITED STATES CALL ME! THAT MEANS ANYTHING, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME.

NOTE THE CHANGE OF TYPE FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT ONLY, I DO NOT MEAN TO SHOUT BUT I WANT TO BE LOUD AND CLEAR! :-) ASK YOURSELF THE FOLLOWING QUESTION: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A PROFESSIONAL REALTOR?

BUT TIM, I AM BUYING PROPERTY IN NORTH CAROLINA I THOUGHT YOU DID BUSINESS IN SPRINGFIELD? - CALL ME I CAN REFER YOU TO A LOCAL AGENT THAT CAN SERVE YOU THE WAY I WOULD AND YES I CAN MAKE $$

BUT TIM, WHAT ABOUT PERSON THINKING OF BECOMING A REAL ESTATE AGENT? - CALL ME I AM AN INSTRUCTOR AND I RECRUIT FOR KELLER WILLIAMS BOTH MAKE ME $$

BUT TIM, WHAT ABOUT COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES I THOUGHT YOU WHERE A RESIDENTIAL REALTOR? - CALL ME IF THEY ARE SIMPLE DEALS I WILL DO THEM MYSELF IF THEY ARE COMPLICATED I WILL REFER THEM TO A QUALIFIED EXPERT AND YES I WILL MAKE $$

BUT TIM, WHAT ABOUT RENTALS IN NEW YORK CITY? - CALL ME I WILL FIND THE RIGHT AGENT FOR YOU AND YES I WILL MAKE $$

BUT TIM, WHAT ABOUT A FRIEND SELLING A CONDO IN CT,VT,RI OR ANY OF THE OTHER STATES? - YES CALL ME I WILL REFER YOUR FRIEND TO A REALTOR THAT WORKS THE WAY I DO AND WILL TAKE CARE OF THEM. AND YES I WILL MAKE $$

BUT TIM, WHAT ABOUT A FRIEND IN BOSTON THAT HAS TO DO A SHORT SALE AND IS GOING INTO FORECLOSURE? - YES CALL ME I WILL REFER THEM TO A PRO AND YES I WILL MAKE $$

PLEASE NO MORE "BUT TIMS" - :-) LIZ AND I PAY THOUSANDS OF $$ A YEAR TO BE PART OF SOME OF THE BEST REFERRAL NETWORKS IN THE COUNTRY. IF IT IS REAL ESTATE I CAN MAKE MONEY BY HELPING YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS SO PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE CALL ME WITH THESE OPPORTUNITIES. IF I CAN NOT HELP DIRECTLY I CAN FIND THE RIGHT PERSON THAT WILL.

Here is what we are looking for it:

PROSPECTS	REFERRAL SOURCES
Your friends, family, neighbors, associates or clients who… · Know home owners looking to sell real estate · Know renters looking to buy real estate · Need help with refinancing · Are interested in the Real Estate Profession · Are having a life changing event. (see what to listen for bellow)	I can help these people help their clients · Attorneys · Investors · Mortgage Brokers · Lenders/Banks · Corporate Relocation Officers
What to listen for..	Conversation Starters
· I would like to sell my home in the next X years/months. · I am having a problem selling my house · I would like to know what my house is worth · I would like to own a home but I don’t know where to start · I can not seem to find a good Realtor · My Brother/Sister/Mother/Friend is getting married · My Sister is getting divorced · My friend had a new baby · My Mother got a new promotion · My brother-in-law’s Mother/Father died…. · My friend’s Mother/Father is retiring…	· Would you like to speak to a Realtor about Buying/Selling your home? · Do you have a relationship with a Realtor? · Have you considered selling/Buying a home?

First the easy one, If you have someone that is looking to buy or sell real estate then by all means give me a call with their name and number I will be happy to follow up with them.

Second the hard one, If they are not currently looking to buy or sell immediately but you know they have had a life changing event try to make the introduction by inviting them to one of my events or an event where you know I will be attending. I can then meet them and build a relationship before they need my services. Here is a list of the upcoming events the you can involve your family and friends in:

Drive In - MAY - To be Announced

Real Estate Training for new Agents – May 9-10th in Northampton

Third, I am looking to grow my referral network and I need your help to do it. Please take a couple of minutes this week to contact the person who you wrote down on the slip of paper.

Remember “You asked yourself, “Out of all of my family, friends and contacts is most likely to buy or sell property next?”

Make some time to talk to them and ask them, “If you were looking to buy or sell a home or you had a friend or family member who was, Do you have a Realtor you would refer them to?”

a. If they say "yes" then congratulate them on having a great Realtor.

b. If they say “no” or they do not really know the realtor then tell them you have a realtor that they should meet. Ask them if they would like to receive free items of value and a newsletter and call me with their contact info. Let them know that I want the opportunity to serve them before, during and after any transactions.

We truly appreciate your friendship and referrals. Enjoy!

Grinding Out My Business

Lately, I have been grinding out my business. I am doing my business activities by shear force of will. I call it the "blood and guts" system. What I have found is if you can have a plan to remind me of my goal when I am less than motivated I can shift my attitude. I have a mp3 player on my nightstand. As soon as my alarm goes off I press play on this puppy. It has all of my exercise goals recorded in my voice at a time when I am motivated. This helps me Just do it and Just do it happily. To my surprise this works for just about any goal you can think of at any time of the day. My business goals are now on the mp3 player and the walk around with me all day long. When I shot of motivation I press play and just do it.

Welcome to the PreLicense Course!

Welcome to the Real Estate Pre-Licensing Course.

Please take some time to download the "MASSLICENSELAWSUMMARY" pdf by clicking here and print it out and bring it with you to the next class.

Feedback from former students has been that learning the vocabulary and reading through the book are most challenging factors in preparing for the test. I have tried to prepare the material so that people with various learning styles can benefit. I have recorded the book on MP3's so you can listen to the content at you leisure. You can download the first module's recordings by clicking here. As we cover material I will post the other modules recordings. I have also scanned the book into a text files in order to facilitate speed reading of the text which I will review in class later this week.

If you have any questions or feedback please do not hesitate to contact me.
