bozeman montana real estate: Real Estate at its Core: A Passion for Helping People - 08/01/14 01:04 AM
“For most of my life I have lived in beautiful Montana. I grew up near my grandparent’s cattle ranch and farming community where everyone knows your name. I graduated from the University of Montana in 2004 with a degree in Sociology/Criminology. Since then, I've held a wide variety of jobs including banking, insurance, and social work.

bozeman montana real estate: The Top 5 Kinds of Home Buyers from 2013 - 07/10/14 03:59 AM
John Burns, Real Estate Consulting CEO, states in his interview, on Bloomberg TV “Street Smart”, that these are the expected buyers from 2013:
Boomerang Buyers – These are buyers who have gone through a foreclosure and have been waiting and working towards getting their good credit scores back.  They may have been among the working that were laid off and lost their homes.  They are now probably renting single family homes for more than the cost of a mortgage. Tips For Boomerang Buyers Investors – These buyers were the first to re-enter the market and have been back buying for about 2 … (0 comments)

bozeman montana real estate: Coming Together: From Personal Growth to Office-Wide Success - 07/07/14 05:43 AM
If you tried to call Bozeman Montana Real Estate.net's agents early morning last Tuesday and could not reach them, you could have called our office where they were all gathered (a rare event to be sure). Last week, we started a three course training session to help learn what facets of ourselves are limiting professional growth.
 

 
I will be keeping tabs and notes to post later but for now, I am riding the momentum of a similar nationally offered seminar hosted by Real Estate Educators Association and Awesome Females in Real Estate which was held in Scottsdale, AZ this June. … (2 comments)

bozeman montana real estate: Real Estate: Not All Haphazard Scheduling and Sleazy Sales - 05/21/14 12:24 AM
The role of a modern real estate agent is very obscure and ambiguous to the everyday person. From what exposure the general public has with real estate agents, it is easy to see why this is; agents are the people who dress top notch, drive buyers around a city in the shnazzy cars, or bring cookies and flower to an open house on the weekend and then, when an offer is made, they take 6% of the sales price for their time.
Having worked in a real estate office now for a little over four years I can confidently assure you, … (3 comments)

bozeman montana real estate: Online Leads and Real Estate: Respect & Privacy of the Online Consumer - 04/01/14 12:10 AM
Consumers are smarter and more resistant to old lead generation methods. As the real estate industry moves more and more to an online lead capture structure, agents need to be aware of the vastly different customer service that is required. The no. 1 area agents can work at in order to achieve the maximum ROI on their lead processes is:

bozeman montana real estate: Using An Agent to Buy and Sell Your Home (Part 2 of 2) - 12/16/13 02:10 AM
Especially in rough economic times, the general public look to cut cost in any way they can to make their budgets last. During a move, many people look at the 2.5-3% of the sales or listing price and see that they can save ~$3,000 per each $100,000 within a real estate transaction if they go it alone without the representation of an agent. People can, and many do, view a few homes without formally signing a buy-sell but an agent is your access points to those homes. Experts and those who buy and sell regularly agree on one point: using an agent is will work the 2.5-3% commission they … (2 comments)

In an office of eight, soon to be nine, agents, I am in a unique position to be the fly on the wall from many day-to-day interactions. Each day, I watch and learn as they navigate the market booms, contract terminations and all other variances real estate brings with it. Here are a few of the consistent tips that really get things moving in the market:
Dangers of Overpricing. Pricing a home is a process, not an individual point. To reach the ideal price of a home, the market and the seller engage in a dynamic and vocal conversation back and … (0 comments)

bozeman montana real estate: Online Marketing: How to Engage Clients.. not Scare Them Away - 10/10/13 06:14 AM
I get personal ~35 emails on an average day. This is not inclusive of spam which my niffty email sifts (correctly or incorrectly out). I imagine I am not alone in this.
The challenge for most agents is that “they are playing the wrong game.” They’re either focused on the technology or on the listing and price updates. While these may be interesting, they are not conversation starters. - See more at: http://www.inman.com/2013/10/07/email-marketing-should-start-conversations-not-calls-to-action/#sthash.z8p4jb06.dpuf

bozeman montana real estate: Three T’s: Building and Maintaining A Successful Real Estate Office - 09/26/13 12:52 AM
Today’s real estate market is vastly different than it was even two years ago. People are using the internet as their primary source of real estate searching and real estate agents SECOND. This means that referrals and new in-person clients are not as likely to be the driving force of a client database.
In fact, it is similar to online dating. Potential clients will have before them a wide number of agent profiles and they will pick based upon the frequency of exposure, rapidity of response time, and first impression of an agent’s personality. The average client looks online for 27 … (3 comments)

bozeman montana real estate: Brokers Staying Current: How to Move to a Paperless Contract - 08/06/13 02:31 AM

Real Estate is and industry chalk full of… paper usage. Even here in our office, we have a burn pile (in place of an unreliable shredder which always seems to break down) and recently we have started a recycling bin and those both fill up what seems like daily and that is not including the actual contract we are putting into our files and working with.  
Living and working in Bozeman, MT, there is an ever-present push to step away from this over consumption of paper and go green. This attitude directly contradicts the comfort that comes from having … (5 comments)
