Getting Price Reductions...Using Stats....Programs to use..Altos or? - 01/30/09 01:32 PM
Getting price reductions!  What stats to use?  How do you lead a client to the right decision?
 One of the most important attributes of a leader is being able to predict.  Numbers tell a story.  When you can look at numbers and give a story, people understand on their own what they need to do without you telling them.  Thats what leaders do..they influence others..not command others.  Managing is commanding.  Leading is influencing.
Everyone is always asking for a Crystal Ball!  Leaders can share insight on what is happening. Heres my Crystal Ball.
This is what I prefer all my clients to see … (2 comments)

Utah rated #1 for population growth..Nevada moved to 8th. - 01/10/09 02:09 PM
Utah was rated by Forbes to be #1 for population growth!   
Utah grew by 68,000 people but has grown at 2.5% year over year.
There were over 40,000 new babies in the state.   Utah's own growth accounts for the majority of the growth but we do have in migration.
What it means to Utah Real Estate
What is amazing....Utah has grown while sales of real estate declined to the lowest levels in 13 years.  What does this mean?  It means a majority of our population was scared to buy a home and are planning on it soon.  Our sales can only do … (0 comments)

How do you get your friend's friends to call you without calling your friends? Its like tattooing their forehead! - 01/02/09 03:29 PM
How do you get your Friend's Friends to call you without even asking your friends to get them too?
You hear it all over, call your friends and ask them who they know is looking to buy a home.  So you could make 100 phone calls and maybe get a couple referrals this week right?  But what if there was an easier way.  What if your friend's friends just called you up or signed up on your website and became a part of your Sphere of Influence.  Is it possible?  Yes!  And its Viral!

Home not selling? Rent it out and move maybe? THINK AGAIN! - 01/01/09 04:44 PM
Home not selling?  You are thinking of renting it out and moving?  Think Again!
The way loans used to work don't work that way.  That's what I did back in 2001 or so when the market in Utah was depreciating.  I just moved out of my home, leased it out and bought a new one.
FannieMae changed their rules though.  Cant do that anymore.  Why the change?   There was something mysterious going on with many buyers this past year.  They were upside down in their home, so they moved out, bought a home and left their home behind them.  So FNMA … (0 comments)
