Sometimes the media does actually come through!  Not everyone has the the total "Local" picture.. but we do depend on the media to report current events and trends. People do listen.

I think we all have a responsibility to hold the media accountable to report not just the doom and gloom of the market, but  how to utilize the services of Realtors, as in the following clip to be helpful.  It is a fine balance. Interviews with people who offer "Solutions", not just problems, is a key element in our industry's recovery.

There are several helpful videos in the series, but this week, the CBS segment on relating to "How to Sell in a Buyer's Market" was helpful for me in communications with my sellers. 

 Enjoy:  http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/07/24/eveningnews/main4291776.shtml

There are other clips available.. for buyers, etc.  It's an interesting series, and more interesting that the days of FSBO are not as popular..the media is returning to the industry for answers from professionals.

There are other posts as well.. the one for Buyers is also good.. These are great for sending out quick to those who need a little, "do ya get that it's kinda important?" to work with a Realtor!

I just placed them in  my prelisting package and in my buyer booklet/cd.

Andrew.. how are things up in Maine?..will watch for you on Facebook!
