Century 21 Indian realty is at it again. On Sat. Dec. 12th. we loaded up our little elves, along with Santa and headed to our local nursing home. The residents there always enjoy our trip. We give them all teddy bears. It is so nice to see our past bears over the years sitting on their bed or sitting on the shelves. Many of them said "you made my day" what they dont know is they just made my day. It is so good to give. So during this season, please just give, it can be in any form. You can give money or time. It sure does make your day a little brighter to see the smiles of those you are helping.....Merry Christmas....Hope you all have a Great 2010.

On Friday Nov. 13th. my co-workers and I held a food drive for our local Salvation Army. We also had the famous red kettle for donations. The weather was great and the support we got was even better. We all had a wonderful time giving back to our community. This event was held in our Century 21 parking lot. We raised money, canned goods and staple items.

 As the Thanksgiving holidays near us, please remember to help those that are in need.

 We at Century 21 Indian Realty support our local community needs and the Salvation Army is a wonderful organization to help. I would like to say "thanks"to all who donated food and money. We will do it again soon. Just watch for the big Salvation Army truck in our parking lot. Hope everone has a great Thanksgiving Day, please enjoy all your many blessings this holiday.

I attended the realtor.com workshop with Joe Sesso in Little Rock. This is a free workshop. It is a class teaching about realtor.com and its uses and also some useful info about other sites. As we all know the internet is the way to attract your buyers and sellers. 87% of buyers use the Internet to search for houses. As a real estate agent, if you are going to stay ahead you better be working on the internet. If not you may get left behind as a realtor. I have gotten several referrals from out of state realtors by them finding me on the internet. Active rain is a great way to get your name out there on the net. I have closed several deals with clients finding me on active rain. So, if you get a chance to attend this free workshop, it may be some very useful info that you can use in your real estate.

 This is our 2009 Homebuyers and Sellers Extravaganza that was held Sat. Oct. 10th. in our Century 21 parking lot. We all worked very hard on this project.

Hope to do another one in the spring.

I cant wait to draw the lucky winners name.....good luck to all who signed up!!

The Craighead county fair is this week. Starting Monday Sept. 21-26 is fair week. Time for great fun, food and rides. For several years Century 21 Indian Realty has had a booth at the fair. This year as our door prize we decided to build a doll house. After many hours of glueing, painting, cutting, sanding and putting it together we have finished the doll house. So if you are at  the fair this week, dont forget to sign up for our doll house drawing, who knows  you may be our lucky winner. I will post more pics of the complete doll house soon.

Are you ready for this....Here is the power of Active Rain. I have made alot of friends, learned so much from all my fellow real estate agents, lenders, and all who have written such great post. I have also made some great connections and have several referrals from Active rain. In June I had my first closing from a Active rain contact. So yes, Active rain does work. My clients are on the internet looking for a real estate agent in Jonesboro, Arkansas. They contacted me, they drove to Jonesboro from another state on Monday and on Friday we had an accepted offer. We closed the deal within 30 days, they had the moving trucks on the way and are now happy home owners. At this point I am reaping the rewards of Active Rain. Thank-you Active Rain it does work!!

I would like to know how other real estate agents feel about information boxes on yard signs. In our office some of our agents use them and others dont. I do use them, in fact several of my sellers have requested them. My idea for using a info box, is that the more information the buyers have before they call you the better. If they already know how many bedrooms, baths, square feet, and price then the buyer is informed and serious about looking. So what do you think info box or not? And what are the reasons you choose them or not?
