The Business Plan of New Agent Kevin. It is 2011 and where does a a first year rookie Realtor start with a plan? First, I needed to identify my ideal client. I sent out a letter to limited people(about 100) that I am a full time Realtor. The theme of letter was "I am your home counselor".

mccaffrey realty professionals: How is You Realtor Rated??
- 01/20/11 07:09 AM

Now consumers who have accounts on Zillow can not only find the "zestimate" of their homes but research the consumer feedback on agents in their areas and also post a review of an agent that they may have worked with in the past. More valuable than the testimonials posted to agent websites, these reviews are unedited by the Realtor.

- 01/08/11 06:43 AM
Everyone Should Have a Real Estate License. Blasphemous words coming from a full time professional Realtor. My colleagues would string me up by my shoelaces (if I had laces). Hear me out on this one. Each of us knows 200+ people pretty well. Of those 200 about 10 will move next year. You have a couple of choices: •1- Don't get involved.

You want to help out your Realtor but also you know that he/she will do a great job for your friend, You want … (1 comments)
mccaffrey realty professionals: The McCaffrey Report- A Look Back at the Market 2010
- 01/06/11 04:53 AM
The McCaffrey Report - a Look Back at the Market in 2010 2010 was a year where the statistics do not tell the whole story of what has been happening in our local real estate market. Although the numbers show a slight upward trend in pricing, this is due, in large part, to a greater number of sales of higher priced homes. The percentage of sales over $500k in 2009 was 27% because of job market uncertainty and rose to 30% sales in 2010, skewing the average price upward. In actuality, prices continued to fall, driven by the abundance of short … (0 comments)
