listings: Make it easy - 04/05/08 06:30 PM
  No two ways around it, it is a Buyer's market right now.  If you are selling your home today it requires much more work on your side then it did just a few years ago.  One of the easiest ways for you to help your Realtor, and yourself, with selling your home is to allow a lockbox to be put on your home.  The lockbox holds a spare house key and it allows other Realtors easy access to your home.  Easy access = more showings.  Now admittedly this will cause you the homeowner to have to keep the home in "showing … (0 comments)

listings: Seminar Idea - 03/28/08 08:17 AM
Good afternoon all,
 
I am thinking of using a seminar as a basis for finding and working with new listings and people who are considering re-listing their homes.  I have investigated the cost of a conference room and advertising ( I figured I should start 3 weeks before the event).  I have not looked into a caterer, the event would only be about 1- 1/1/2 hours long.

  I am trying to help an agent in my office move a luxury property that he is involved in, but I am unsure how to go about that on AR while maintaining the proper blogging etiquette.  Could a few of you more experienced AR bloggers help me out here?  Any and all help appreciated.

listings: Collecting Listing - Try and remember they are NOT trading cards - 03/15/08 10:49 AM
Someone help me here because I just don't get it!  I understand that we all want and need to make a living, which makes this even harder to grasp.  I am talking about agents that "collect" listing.  I know there is a value in having you name out there on the streets, but what does it say about you when 1 year later your sign is still hanging in the same yard?  I don't know about anywhere else, but here in Maricopa county Arizona we have a 2+ year supply of homes.  With this in mind why are agents still willing … (10 comments)
