Speachless Sunday: Just let yourself go......... - 07/19/09 05:00 PM

It is times like these that the successful become more successful, and the stagnant stay stagnant.  The successful see times like this as great opportunities to expand their business(es) more than ever as very few others are either able or willing to do so.
 
 
 
 

 
The tough part is to make that decision to make that big plunge further than you ever had before.  It is so easy to say, this is the time to hold back and see where are the cards end up.  I say this is the time where you can expand your … (10 comments)

What does the DOW Jones Average have to do with a Farm? - 07/17/09 03:25 PM
So what is the correlation of either the stock market or interest rates to your market?  Or is it both?  Or are you throwing darts at the wall for answers? I have been farming an area that has a price range from abut $300k to $4mm, with about 6000 homes for the past 15 years.  (Californians: that is sizable amount of money outside CA).  Though this has been my market I have also worked entry level housing as well.  What I have noticed for the areas that I have farmed, is a break point of somewhere in the vicinity of about … (2 comments)

Who authorized my AR pictures to show up on Google or Bing searches????? - 07/16/09 05:49 PM
I read this post about a month or two ago on AR that said that we are supposed to name our pictures before posting them.  The name of the picture would be whatever one would think one would blog about to gain attention to their property.  What they hay, I will try it for a bit to see if this guy was puffing smoke or if this guy actually knew what he was posting. Well, this post may be a tad early as I have yet to dominate a Google or Bing search in pictures, but I am getting there.  Give … (65 comments)

So what is YOUR definition of a "LICENSED" or "PROFESSIONAL" repair???? - 07/15/09 05:00 PM
Here are a few of my favorite mistakes seen on contracts about items requested to be REPAIRED by the seller: The house is to be professionally cleaned Carpets to be professionally steam cleaned HVAC to be serviced by a licensed contractor Roof repairs to be repaired by a licensed roofer Plumbing repairs to be fixed by a licensed plumber OK, that's enough.....as this list could go on forever.  So what is the problem with these lines.  Did you catch it? OK, let's add a couple of questions for you. What does the word "Professional" mean? What does the word "Licensed" mean? As … (37 comments)

So How Long Does It Take to move furniture out of a house.....if the seller is moving to Europe? - 07/15/09 03:58 PM
If you do not know, you may be get into terrible trouble. If either your buyer or your seller is involved in an international move, be prepared for major time contingencies.   International moves require an entirely different set of rules in packing requirements that require substantially more time than a move across the country.  All items are boxed and or crated (depending if delivered by ship).  If a crate is labeled "BOOKS" and this crate is opened and there is something in the crate that is not books, that crate or the shipment may be either held or sent back. … (4 comments)

Were you not told if you play with your model, it may break? It will....... - 07/12/09 02:42 PM
Greed (or not cost effective thinking) may have cost me a sale on one of my listings this past week. I stopped working with buyers a few years back, and refer most buyers to our agents unless they have picked out a home in my neighborhood and want to make an offer......as long as it is not my listing.  I never ever work with both sides of any transaction.  I had to make a call back then as there was no way that I could effectively or efficiently come close to representing listing clients and buyer clients as well as they … (8 comments)

Your friends are preparing your EPITAPH; What will it say? - 07/10/09 03:14 PM
Just found my LIFETIME PERSONAL & BUSINESS PLAN I did in 1982 with a major homebuilder.  What a great find! At 22 years old, I was not too excited about making a lifetime plan.....Heck, I was just out of college and planning the rest of my life was never brought up in college. This has the typical lifetime plans questions that are asked over and over at different ages in your life.  It's pretty cool to look back on it to see where I stayed on course and where I veered.   The personal questions asked when I will be married, when … (1 comments)

How does HOW YOU RANK benefit your client? - 07/09/09 05:33 PM
Boast about your accomplishments; but, also, ask yourself: what does my accomplishments do for my client?   I often state that we were ranked in 2008 as the #2 real estate group in the city of Austin by the Austin Business Journal.  Many others throw out something similar, such as they were number one in their office, their city....whatever.  Well that is all fine and dandy, but does the client really care?  Maybe, maybe not.  It does tell them that you are successful and that he is not hiring a bozos, but does it really tell him what it does for them personally?  I … (8 comments)

No big deal, we can handshake on this one.......(ooops) - 07/09/09 04:17 PM
How often have we ALL made verbal changes, not thinking that the MINOR change was not that big of a deal?  Pretty often, eh?   Here are but a few (of too many) that have exploded on me in the past and bit me on the rear end (and, a quote from one of my favorites, Austin Powers: "that really hurts").  I make this very small post to make a very big point.  DON'T EVER EVER EVER make the smallest of changes in a contract verbally, make them in writing!!!! Though many of the same comments noted below end up totally … (4 comments)

So what was your very first blog? Mine was an interesting prediction 3 years ago.... - 07/09/09 03:31 PM
Have you looked back at your very first BLOG?  I did today and got a bit of a shocker from a prediction I made.   I used to be a big time BLOGGER on AR in 2006 and 2007.  In both years, I made 2 blogs. (I was really dedicated to this blogging thing back then).  This afternoon, I thought it would be interesting to look back and see what 2 stupid things did I post in 2006......  I guess I was not as stupid as I thought I was.......   (Few replied and the replies were not in agreement to … (3 comments)

2 tools to dominate a Google search page? Podcasts and AR - 07/09/09 03:02 PM
The phenomenal effectiveness of Podcasts?  Merely Google just two communities we farm and click on VIDEOS.  It is very rare that any competition is there with us.  Well OK, I will do it for you: Below are actual Google searches done today.  Try it on BING.....I don't care.....we are still dominate.  Why?  Podcasts spider themselves through out the internet and are attached on a multitude of other podcasts and people are easily able to link the podcast to Itunes and have every new podcast that we have created automatically pop up onto their Itune folder.  Thus it moves like a spider and … (4 comments)

Spotlight Austin: I get to speak on how to succeed in a challenging market. - 07/08/09 08:13 PM


I am so proud to be asked to speak on how to succeed in a challenging market at Spotlight Austin event this month at the Westwood Country Club with 2 other of Austin's top real estate agents.  My speech will mainly focus on MINDSET of marketing a farm area, which will be a different approach that the other two speakers.
This will be an exciting event.  I put a similar talk on this in Orlando FL at the Keller Williams International convention.  Hopefully, I will do a bit better at this event.  It will be alot of fun and … (1 comments)

A great 4th of July for my family and my FARM.....? - 07/05/09 04:05 PM
This was a great 4th of July weekend both with family....and my farm.  I noted a few days ago that our little group was sponsoring our 4th of July celebration in two communities: http://activerain.com/blogsview/1139335/why-would-you-work-on-the-4th-rather-than-be-with-family-and-others-  One was a parade of about 500 and the other was a luncheon of around 1000 people. The parade we passed out eco friendly grocery bags (with our logo on it, of course) and the other we passed out 750 ice creams to the kids (and, yes, alot of adults).  We also numerous trash cans (yes, with our logo on them).
They both were a great hit … (4 comments)

How to set up an event for 2000 people..... It is easier than you think! - 07/04/09 03:48 PM


So how in the world could we pull off an event this large so quick? Coming August will be the 2nd annual Concert at the Park in Steiner Ranch in Austin Texas.  In late fall we will have Holiday at the Park in Steiner Ranch.  Both of these events will bring in about 2000 home owners from the community (there are about 14,000 total residents; owners and kids).   Actually the idea started 2 years ago from a casual conversation with one of the buyers of my listings at another major event which we sponsored in another neighborhood called River Place, but … (17 comments)

Why would you work on the 4th, rather than be with family and others? - 07/03/09 12:11 PM
So here it is July 3rd, and I am sitting here finalizing the plans on our July 4th marketing events for our Farm for tomorrow. 
 Shouldn't I be taking the 4th off to be with the family?  Welllllllll, partially.  I am going out tonight to see fireworks, and tomorrow night for dinner; but the rest of the day is marketing 101 with fun.I and my business partners are good ol' farmers.  We have a couple of communities we work and sell a bit over $50mm a year.  That's not even close to where we want to be and are taking this … (2 comments)

275 slaps in the face to make me a better man........Thanks AR members, alot!!! - 07/02/09 07:15 PM
I can not thank enough for all the replies from you guys on my blog last week, "3 Reasons why you should NEVER EVER hold an OPEN HOUSE".  Mind you, it was a bit of a challenge to go through 275 replies, but I promise that I read everyone, and directly emailed several of you with your witty replies.   The post did not take off at all as members were flying through it not catching my disturbed sense of humor.  So I went back and revised the post with the words "READ SLOWWWWLLLLLYYY".  Then the post took off like a rocket … (7 comments)
