benefits: ActiveRain in the spotlight :: Will you help a Chance for Bliss? - 11/23/09 12:15 PM
I recently did a blog here on AR for a local non profit animal sanctuary called "A Chance for Bliss". This wonderful sanctuary is in foreclosure and many area supporters have tooted their horn to promote funding for this exceptional animal ranch that gives these creatures a forever home to live out their life. Local Veterinarians, volunteers, and area businesses have donated their services to this very unique ranch that offers dignity, and love in the final years of life.
We have been noted in their newsletter as "Active Rain (the largest real estate network) friends to help the sanctuary."  Lets' show them the true … (4 comments)

benefits: "Honey, Stop the Car!" The Importance of Curb Appeal. - 05/27/07 03:04 PM

This is probably one of the most important aspects in Staging and Selling a home.  You must draw that person out of the car, unto the sidewalk and up to the front door.  Color, landscaping, walkway, driveway, neighbors... all give a feel to the home.  In order to show the home to a global buyer, it must look pristine from the street to the doorknob.
If a home is taking longer to sell than the average there may be a good reason. What is the first thing you notice when you drive up to the home? How does the home make you … (47 comments)

benefits: Staging...where to take the hit! - 05/27/07 04:48 AM
   Where DO we take the hit? Add those fees, whoopee!
This year presents a tough market for everyone. Realtors are discounting their service, homeowners are dropping prices.... Stagers are... well, where can we take the hit?
Many times I get asked why the first month of my Staging is more expensive (or rather, why the second month was more affordable... staying positive here), than subsequent months.  The Initial first month payment is the largest because it has all the "service" fees attached. (Delivery and pick-up, packing, set-up, wrapped walls if needed, damage waiver fee, TAXES, next comes my Staging, de-Staging and assistants … (20 comments)

benefits: Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears - 05/02/07 04:09 PM

Those pesky insects really are smart.  They know when you hear them, it starts a frenzy, that humans are reminded that Spring is here and they need to get ready for those buzzing mosquitoes.  They really are not all that bad really.  It does remind you of Spring, it does remind you of preparation (going to the store to buy repellent) and.... they seem to be right there when you least expect them.
My point here is... what do you do in a positive sense to buzz in your Realtor's ears without being a pest?
I call my Realtor team every Wednesday, yup... … (25 comments)
