mike kelly: Aggressive Agents Needed !!!!
- 06/10/08 01:23 PM
I am currently looking for two or three aggressive agents who are serious about making money! Due to a new marketing campaign we are receiving more leads than we can handle! Bi-lingual is definitely a plus but only a dedicated work ethic is required! If you are not earning what you desire and you are serious about the real estate business please contact me for a confidential interview! It doesn't hurt to explore your options! We have leads in the Cape, Ft.Myers and Lehigh! So if you are ready to talk give me a call! This may be the opportunity that you … (3 comments)
mike kelly: So This Is What It Is Like To Be A Baby Boomer!!
- 06/10/08 05:33 AM
I have recently been speaking with many Baby Boomers and I almost forgot that I am one of them! Yes I am at the tail end of the Boomer generation but I am considered a Baby Boomer! When I got to thinking about what it means to be a Boomer I started to realize some of the changes that have been taking place in my life! Having turned 50 just a few years ago I quickly found out that I needed longer arms to read the newspaper! I never realized how cold the bathroom floor was in the middle of the night! … (3 comments)
mike kelly: You Are Not Going To Believe This One.......
- 06/09/08 12:56 PM
If it is already not bad enough that we are now paying over $4.oo a gallon for gas, we now have something else to worry about! I just got a call from a friend of mine and he wanted to warn me about the latest crime wave sweeping our country! It seems that some people are now so fed up with the price of gas that they won't take it anymore! Apparently they are very good at filling there cars up and then driving off without paying! Well, when I heard this I told him that in our area all of … (14 comments)
mike kelly: Save $1,000 Year By .................
- 06/08/08 01:51 PM
I was listening to our local talk radio show earlier today and they were discussing how to save money now that gas has topped $4.00 a gallon in Southwest Florida! The number one suggestion was for people to discuss with their bosses the possibility of working from home one day per week! Now while this is not practical for everyone, it certainly does make sense for many people! How fortunate are we as Realtors to be able to work from home everyday if we want! The days of going to the office everyday are certainly in the past! Thanks to technology … (2 comments)
mike kelly: Short Sales Are Paying Off!
- 06/03/08 09:27 AM
I have been reading post after post on the frustration of short sales! And yes I agree they are not easy and very frustrating at times! Here in beautiful Cape Coral, Florida we have literally thousands of homes listed as short sales! We have found that patience is the key and if your buyer is willing to wait it will pay off! Within the last week we have been able to close on 3 short sales for our buyers! The average time from making the offer to closing was 3 months! If you really think about it that is not bad … (17 comments)
mike kelly: When Is The Listing Not Worth Taking
- 06/02/08 01:09 PM
Ok, I thought I have seen it all but today I found out that there are new situations everyday! I recieved a call over the weekend from an old associate of mine who relocated to a different city and wanted to know if I would be interested in a referral! Absolutely was my response and once again I opened my mouth without engaging the brain first! She then proceeded to give me the details and here is where all my fellow AR members come in! Her friend has been transferred by his job to another state! His company is willing to buy … (12 comments)
mike kelly: First Time Home Buyers- A Rewarding Experience!
- 06/02/08 06:12 AM
Once again I was reminded last week of what a wonderful career I have chosen! Business is booming and agents are busier than they have been in years! Just being around the office and seeing all of the activity and smiling faces is exciting! This passed week we closed quite a few transactions but I noticed a trend that is starting to develop! 5 of our closed transactions were for first time home buyers! Does anybody else feel the way that I do when you see the look on their face when you have finished the closing? That look is PRICELESS! … (10 comments)
mike kelly: Don't Believe What You Hear!!
- 05/23/08 09:51 AM
I just want to keep everyone informed of what is really happening in our little corner of the world, Cape Coral and Ft. Myers! This "dead" real estate market that everyone is telling you about, must have been kept secret from the agents in our office! Why? Well this week, a historically slow week, has been awesome. We processed 10 commission checks this week for 10 different agents! The largest of which was $27,000 and that was just for the buyers side! That is a pretty good year for a lot of agents and considering he is on a 95% split … (8 comments)
mike kelly: BABY BOOMERS- DON'T MISS OUT!!!
- 05/05/08 08:55 AM
I was reading an article earlier this week that stated that over the next 4 years the largest percentage of people ever to retire in a 4 year period will occur! An then I began thinking, "Where will they go?" North Dakota-NO! Maine-NO! Tennesse-Maybe! Florida-YES!!! I live in one of the most beautiful places in this country and I sell real estate here too! I was fortunate to have found Cape Coral, Florida in 2000 and I have watched a city come to life right in front of my eyes. Cape Coral is a boaters paradise with over 400 miles of … (0 comments)
mike kelly: Why are agents not using Listingbook?
- 04/18/08 07:10 AM
I have recently been introduced to the most valuable tool I have ever seen for real estate agents. Listingbook is a service that is available through our Realtor Association that allows us to give our prospects and clients access to our MLS. They can sign up for a buyers account, sellers account or both. It puts them in charge of their searches and allows them to change their criteria as often as they like. You as their agent can see every change that they make! It allows you to see who is actively looking and who is serious. For sellers, you can … (4 comments)
