real estate virtual assistant: 2008 Could Be Your Best Year Yet!
- 11/08/07 12:22 AM
Have you noticed all the Christmas decorations in the department stores? A little early, right? I was watching the news the other day and they were discussing this with patrons. Some said it was early, but the majority said it put them in the spirit and helped them get a jump start on the holiday shopping. The bottom line was when asking the stores why they are putting Christmas decorations out so early was to stay ahead of the competition. Makes sense! With the real estate market the way it is today - you have to know how to market your listings to stay … (3 comments)

If you have a website you should be receiving leads, right? You would be surprised at how many REALTORS I talk to that do not have any leads and they do not know why or have them but do not know what to do with them.

There could be several reasons, but let's assume you are receiving leads from your website. Are you taking the time on a daily basis to follow … (7 comments)
