float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" width="231" />As a hard working real estate agent, you may find it easy to get wrapped up in the hype of a new marketing method that promises quick payoff with possibly little cash (or even a lot of cash!)&nbsp;</p> <p>With so many choices, so many ways of marketing listings and yourself, you may feel compelled to dump what you've been doing and jump right in to something new.&nbsp; Tread lightly, make sure you have a plan in place moving forward.&nbsp; Here are some simple tips for use when you are contemplating trying something new:</p> <p><em><strong>1) If it isn&rsquo;t broke, don&rsquo;t fix it.</strong></em></p> <p>If what you've got going is working well, why change?&nbsp; I admit it's good to try new things, but be careful not to abandon what you've already got.&nbsp; The saying goes, you don't know what you've got until it's gone applies.</p> <p>As an alternative, test different approaches for a small segment of your marketing list.&nbsp; I tend to believe that 10% is a good number to test on.&nbsp; Run a campaign and gauge the results.&nbsp; If successful, apply this tactic to increasingly more of your list.</p> <p><em><strong>2) Measure your results to determine what works best for you and your situation.<br /></strong></em></p> <p>It is imperative with any marketing campaign to accurately measure results.&nbsp; How could you possibly make a good decision as to what is and is not working if you don't have accurate figures?</p> <p><img title="Developing a Marketing Plan" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/4/1/0/7/ar125934719070147.jpg" height="154" alt="Developing a Marketing Strategy" style="border: 2px solid black; float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" width="231" /><em><strong>3) Marketing isn&rsquo;t just about the numbers.</strong></em></p> <p>Remember that sometimes a successful marketing campaign may not work immediately.&nbsp; Patience is virtue, stay the course and give your plan time to play out.&nbsp; Premature stops or changes can ruin something potentially good, and you may never know about it!&nbsp; Even if you don't get more money from your campaign, ask yourself if it is helping in another area such as increasing the longevity of your business, or helping your clients in a big way.</p> <p><em><strong>4) If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.</strong></em></p> <p>If you read testimonials on a marketing method, please take them with a grain of salt.&nbsp; Testimonials are dime a dozen, can be fabricated and doesn't give you an accurate gauge of true success.&nbsp;&nbsp; Unless you actually KNOW someone who has had success, don't trust testimonials.&nbsp; Use common sense when gauging something new.</p> <p><em><strong>5) It&rsquo;s ok to try new tactics, just don't abandon the marketing efforts of your past that you know get results.</strong></em></p> <p>The 10% rule works well here.&nbsp; Spend 90% of your time and money on campaigns that you know do well, use the other 10% for experimental work.&nbsp; This way you can try new things without breaking the bank (or yourself!)</p> <p><em><strong>6) Have a plan for the plan.</strong></em></p> <p>Before you do anything else, map out how you intend to execute your new plan and how you intend on measuring results.&nbsp; Develop an entry and exit strategy for your marketing plan.&nbsp; Think of a few ways that you may be able to make slight adjustments along the way to maximize your effectiveness.</p> <p><strong>Helpful Links: <br /></strong></p> <p><strong>&curren;

While that may be a good strategy for some, I am going to share why it is beneficial to list your home over the holidays:</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1.&nbsp; <strong>Quantity vs. Quality-</strong> I am talking about buyers. If your home is listed&nbsp; during the holidays, you</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;may have less traffic, but the buyers that come for a visit are usually serious buyers.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>LESS INVENTORY ON THE MARKET-</strong> This means less competition for you! A lot of sellers during</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; this time take their homes off the market until spring. If you list now, you may be one&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; of five in a&nbsp;buyer's criteria search, rather than one of thirty later.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3.&nbsp; <strong>Holiday decorations-</strong> Your house will show well and evoke emotions when it is tastefully</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; decorated for the holidays. <em>Caution- Don't overdo the decorations and knick-knacks-</em></p> <p><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Keep it simple.</span></em></p> <p><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.<em> </em><strong>Relocation</strong>- Just like summer, this is a popular time for people to relocate for new jobs</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; for the new year. Families with children sometimes choose the holidays to relocate</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;before the new semester at school begins.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <strong>Taxes-</strong> Some buyers will want to buy for tax purposes before the end of the year.

It&rsquo;s usually not their background (poverty or riches), where they came from (New York City or Kansas City) and what they&rsquo;ve been through (lavishly spoiled or battered and bruised). It&rsquo;s usually not how they were raised or who they rely on. <em><strong>It all comes down to the choices they make.</strong></em></p> <p><strong>Successful people . . . </strong></p> <p><strong>1. Pursue Their Dreams</strong></p> <p>Successful people know what they&rsquo;re good at and that&rsquo;s where they place their energy. They have dreams and find ways to pursue them vigorously.&nbsp; Turn your goals into a cause.&nbsp; Keep the faith, maintain the drive,&nbsp; keep the end in sight.</p> <p><strong>2. Face Life Struggles</strong></p> <p>Successful people don&rsquo;t dwell on the past. They don&rsquo;t carry baggage with them through life, but, rather, seek emotional freedom from the hurt, sorrows and struggles life has thrown at them. And when they fail, they pick themselves right back up and start over. They don&rsquo;t dwell on the fact that they messed up, but count it as a learning experience.</p> <p><strong>3. Live Life to the Fullest</strong></p> <p>Rather than simply going through the motions of life and looking back one day with regret, successful people decide ahead of time how they are going to live each day and do it. They wake up determined to be positive, productive and motivated, regardless of what comes their way. They lay out the steps for accomplishing their goals and pursue each one.</p> <p><strong>4. Are Proactive, Not Reactive</strong></p> <p>Successful people never consider themselves the victim, but, instead, work to influence the outcome of every situation into their favor. No blame is cast upon others. Rather, they always consider themselves responsible for where they are and where they&rsquo;re headed. What their past contains, even if it is the grimmest of pasts, does not decide their fate. Their choices, in the midst of and through the outcome of those circumstances, make that decision.</p> <p><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/1/3/7/9/ar125860402597313.jpg" height="129" alt="Working Like Ants" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" width="174" /><strong>5. Work Like Ants </strong></p> <p>That&rsquo;s right, ants. Ants keep going. They never give up no matter how tired they are, how much work is left, and how dull the outcome appears. They recognize that a life worth living takes hard work and time. It takes time, grain by grain, to build a life. And, even after success is reached, they keep on working. And even after a little boy destroys the ant hill they worked so hard to create, they start all over again. Successful people are like ants.</p> <p><strong>My Own Success Story</strong></p> <p>I have had great success with my online printing business beyond my imagination.&nbsp; First I knew I had a choice to make.&nbsp; Either work hard for my own success, or work hard to make someone else successful.&nbsp; This was an easy choice for me, I knew that nobody else was going to do it for me, I had to do it for myself.</p> <p>In my early twenties while building my online presence, I would spend the evenings working instead of hanging out with friends.&nbsp; My wife would wind up entertaining because I was in the back bedroom at my desk neck deep in HTML &amp; CSS code. I can't tell you how many times I've been asked to play golf and I say "no" because I have work to do.&nbsp; My friends came to accept that I was a busy guy, but little did they know what I had brewing.</p> <p>What started with a simple saying <strong><em>"If he can do that, so can I"</em></strong> turned into over 2 million dollars in sales, featured in two published books, a major magazine, a major newspaper and consultant to a major corporation.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Desire</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Drive</span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Perseverance</span> &amp; <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Sacrifice</span> is the recipie for success.</strong></p> <p><strong>IF HE/SHE CAN DO IT, SO CAN YOU!</strong></p> <p><strong>&curren; <a href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/1345064/what-successful-people-do#new_comment" target="_self">Have you tasted success?&nbsp; What tactics helped you reach your goals? </a></strong></p> <p><strong>&curren; <a href="http://activerain.com/action/blogs_admin/reblogging_new/1345064" target="_self">Sing in the rain, please reblog this post!</a></strong></p><div class="agent_signature"><p>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p><img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/9/4/7/8/ar125807432187496.gif" height="104" alt="" width="119" style="float: left; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" /><span style="font-size: 10;">Chris Brunner is an aspring real estate agent/investor and owner/developer of <strong><br />GreatFX Business Cards</strong>, a top destination for online printing services.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10;">GreatFX offers thick card stock paper, photo-quality color, free glossy or matte coatings and eco-friendly soy-base inks.&nbsp; Stop paying too much for cards.&nbsp; Advance your marketing efforts, <a href="http://www.greatfxbusinesscards.com/coated.htm" title="Business Cards" target="_blank">design business cards</a><a href="http://www.greatfxbusinesscards.com/coated.htm" title="Business Cards" target="_blank"> online</a> today!</span></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Copyright &copy; 2009 by Christopher J.

The earnest&nbsp;money?&nbsp; Addendums that require your signature in order for you to get paid?&nbsp; Well, with new construction, it's a little different.&nbsp; You really need the seller to provide the new buyer with a list of every subcontractor, all warranties on appliances, a plat of the property (if the lot is not in a recorded subdivision), recorded covenants and association articles, recorded well agreements and any other items associated with the conveyance of the property.</p> <p>Real Estate in Springfield Missouri is no different here than any other area and is not kind when we fail to record or provide certain information to the buyer.&nbsp; In order to avoid problems down the road, especially when the buyer decides to sell, take a little time out to :</p> <p><strong>1)&nbsp; Follow up with the title company to make sure all well agreements, well agreements and association articles&nbsp;were recorded and mailed to all parties.</strong></p> <p><strong>2)&nbsp; Check with the new buyers to see if they received copies from the title company.&nbsp; Sometimes, the seller promises to record them himself, and never does.</strong></p> <p><strong>3) Have a check list to follow to avoid a problem in the future.</strong></p> <p><strong>4)&nbsp; Extra garage door openers and the codes so they can be reprogrammed.</strong></p> <p><strong>5)&nbsp; Home Warranty Manual spelling out what things are covered for a year or two years, and what things should be considered maintenance.</strong>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>6)&nbsp; A list of utility companies.</strong>&nbsp;</p> <p>And of course there's the dreaded walk through list.&nbsp; The customer needs to spend some time really gong over their home with the new home builder.&nbsp; Really ask questions.&nbsp; The REALTOR could be of some help here, if they remember that their job is to help and not to pick on the house one day before closing.</p> <p>&nbsp;I wrote this article in 2006&nbsp;- some things never change.</p><div class='agent_signature'><p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://activerain.comhttp://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/1/9/2/7/ar123181605172912.jpg" alt="" width="192" height="70" />&nbsp;<a title="Subscribe To My Blog" href="http://activerain.com/action/blogs_admin/subscribe?subscribed_agent_id=6752" target="_blank"><img title="Subscribe To My Blog" src="http://activerain.comhttp://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/8/6/9/0/ar123155680409688.png" alt="Subscribe To My Blog" width="166" height="22" /></a>&nbsp;</p> <p>Kay Van Kampen is a local Realtor serving <strong>Springfield, Ozark, Nixa, Rogersville, Republic and surrounding areas in Greene, Christian and Webster Counties in Missouri.</strong> She is ready and available to help you with all your Springfield Mo real estate needs.

Lower prices, larger inventory, and great interest rates make this a buyer's market.&nbsp; Deb Casper talks about the Twin Cities area, but this article applies to all housing markets, including Springfield Mo real estate.</p> <p>I might add another tip:&nbsp;<strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Contact Your Local Realtor!&nbsp;&nbsp; They know your market area, interest rates, inspectors and other agencies that will assist you in your buying decisions.</strong></p> </p> <div id="reblogging_tag">Via <b><a href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/1321292/6-tips-for-homebuyers-">Deb Casper, REALTOR, CRS, e-PRO (RE/MAX Specialists)</a></b>:<br/><blockquote><p>Since inventories of both new construction homes and re-sale properties are high, prices are pretty much at bottom in the Twin Cities area,&nbsp;and both our local housing market and housing markets across the country are still testing the bottom following the real estate recession that wiped out more than $4 trillion worth of homeowner equity since 2006, anyone thinking of buying real estate soon, should really get off the fence and get going.</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;1.&nbsp; Know the Tax Incentive Program</strong><strong></strong></p> <p>It is anticipated that Congress will be passing the newly extended home buyer tax credit to ALL buyers, but at a reduced rate of $6500.00 to those who are current homeowners wishing to move up.&nbsp; There will be income limits and other criteria as well. The $8000.00 tax credit for first time home buyers (those who have not owned a home for a period of 3 years) will be extended as well.&nbsp; Now is the time!&nbsp; Purchase Agreements need to be negotiated and signed prior to the end of April per the Senate version.&nbsp; There may be more tweaks before it's final, but rest assured buyers will need to move quickly!</p> <p>&nbsp;While many potential buyers believe now is the time, at the same time, tighter lending restrictions have made it harder to qualify for a mortgage loan, keeping the dream of home ownership out of reach for all but the most credit worthy consumers.</p> <p>&nbsp;As such, Barry Zigas, director of housing policy for the Consumer Federation of America, says those looking to benefit from the buyer's market today must come to the table prepared, armed with a clean financial bill of health and plenty of research to ensure they get the best deal on their purchase.</p> <p>If the price is right and&nbsp;you plan to stay put for the near term,&nbsp;and you're able to get good financing, he notes, there's no real reason to wait.</p> <p><strong>2.&nbsp; Get Your Credit Report</strong><br /><br />Your first order of business is to obtain a copy of your credit report from the three major reporting agencies, Equifax, TransUnion and Experian.<br /><br />It's free and the earlier in the process you review it, the more time you'll have to correct any errors and make changes that can improve your score.<br /><br />These reports are not always accurate. They may include old credit lines that you closed, other people's information&nbsp;or&nbsp; other incorrect information with a potential to hurt your credit.</p> <p>In our current market, you'll need a credit score of 720 or better to land the lowest rates.&nbsp; If your score is under 660 you will undoubtedly have a difficult time in getting a loan with favorable terms.&nbsp; <br /><br />You can help raise your score by paying future bills on time, eliminating lines of credit and paying off any outstanding debts you may have, including student loans, car loans and credit card balances.<br /><br /><strong>3.&nbsp; Know Your Purchasing Power<br /></strong><br />You will need to determine how much you can reasonably afford to spend on a home and a good mortgage loan officer can help you here.&nbsp; Typically your trusted Realtor can refer you to a great loan officer that she (or he) has worked with and knows can give you the best loan and closing costs package there is.&nbsp; Ask your Realtor who she (or he) recommends.<br /><br />The amount you qualify for depends, of course, on interest rates, your credit history and any existing debt.</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;4.&nbsp; Making An Offer</strong><br /><br /><strong>When you do find your dream home, don't rush in.<br /><br />Together with your trusted Realtor, research the neighborhood, recent sales,&nbsp;competition, schools,&nbsp;etc. very&nbsp;carefully to be sure your offer is within range of comparable sales in the area. <br /><br />And don't be afraid to play hardball. Sellers in this market are likely to give you what you ask for, within reason.<br /><br />Make sure you get an inspection and if problems come to light&nbsp;you may&nbsp;be able&nbsp;to ask the seller to correct them or make a contribution towards&nbsp;any repairs.</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>In the current market, you can also ask for seller contributions toward your&nbsp;closing costs (Note:&nbsp; there may be lender imposed limits so be sure to work with your loan officer and Realtor on this point)!</strong></p> <p><strong>Be aware that&nbsp;with prices down as much as they are in the local Twin Cities marketplace, there may be many more interested and qualified buyers than you may think.&nbsp; Therefore,&nbsp;be careful in making a low-ball offer and be prepared for a bidding war.</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>5. Getting&nbsp;Your Loan in Place</strong><strong></strong></p> <p>In our current market&nbsp;qualifying for&nbsp;a mortgage loan can be the&nbsp;most difficult&nbsp;part of your task.</p> <p>You will&nbsp;need to show and document&nbsp;steady employment, have good credit history, and have a low debt-to-income-ratio in order to qualify.&nbsp; If you should fall short in one area, you may be able to make up for it with a larger down payment or higher interest rates.&nbsp; Be prepared!</p> <p>Despite the credit crunch and disappearance of zero down and no-doc loan programs, the Federal Housing Administration still offers programs for cash-strapped borrowers with little money for a down payment.&nbsp; FHA-insured loans require a 3.5 percent down payment, far less than most conventional loans require. Be sure to get all the options available, then weigh each one to determine which works best for your situation.</p> <p><strong></strong></p> <p><strong>6.&nbsp; Buy Your Dream Home!</strong><strong></strong></p> <p>Buyers who are in it for the long haul&nbsp;are sure to benefit from this confluence of factors:&nbsp;&nbsp;Low prices, higher inventory,&nbsp;low interest rates, and&nbsp;great bargaining power.</p> <p>Trying to bet on the ups and downs of the market is not reasonable&nbsp;in this market.&nbsp; Check with your trusted Realtor, if&nbsp;a house is comfortably within your reach it is time to move on it.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p></blockquote></div><div class='agent_signature'><p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://activerain.comhttp://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/1/9/2/7/ar123181605172912.jpg" alt="" width="192" height="70" />&nbsp;<a title="Subscribe To My Blog" href="http://activerain.com/action/blogs_admin/subscribe?subscribed_agent_id=6752" target="_blank"><img title="Subscribe To My Blog" src="http://activerain.comhttp://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/8/6/9/0/ar123155680409688.png" alt="Subscribe To My Blog" width="166" height="22" /></a>&nbsp;</p> <p>Kay Van Kampen is a local Realtor serving <strong>Springfield, Ozark, Nixa, Rogersville, Republic and surrounding areas in Greene, Christian and Webster Counties in Missouri.</strong> She is ready and available to help you with all your Springfield Mo real estate needs.
