agents: Burgler Uses Open Houses As His Modus Operandi (MO)
- 05/20/10 05:12 AM
I just read an article that describes a burglar as posing as a buyer at open houses as his modus operandi. Houses in high dollar areas tend to be larger and with more than one visitor at a time, a single agent can lose track of who is where. This guy allegedly focused on jewelry which is small enough to conceal easily. If you're doing an open house, be on your guard. If you are attending an open house, please understand that there are reasons you are asked to sign in, beyond just getting your name and contact information. Here is a link … (4 comments)
agents: Are Real Estate Professionals Worth Their Fee?
- 09/08/09 02:04 AM
In this economy of discounting, foreclosing, bail outs, rebates, and cash for whatever, people are still asking if a real estate professional is worth their fee. The Internet provides some seemingly useful information about real estate, that if completely correct, should make everyone as good as your average local licensee. However, here area a few questions to ask for a more logical answer to that question. Are the best deals easy to find (in any industry)? Is it easy to know if the asking price of a property is high, low, or just right? What are the necessary forms needed to complete a transaction? How … (2 comments)

I was at a meeting this week where one guy said he'd won a bet because he'd gotten his site to the top of goo gle in 24 hours. I listened to see if he was selling some "latest" tool or if he had some "black hat" type of seo spoof. In fact, he had found a niche that many of us are not exploiting. It is zip codes. Many of us don't include the zipcode of the town we work in on our pages or in our seo coding. If you list property, list the zip codes you have listing … (15 comments)
agents: Zil low Target Practice / Listings or Programmers?
- 03/28/08 01:29 AM
One of the most technical web techs from Zi llow was drafted into the military. While at boot camp he went to the rifle range where he was given some instructions, handed a rifle, and a couple rounds of ammo. He loaded the rifle and fired several shots at the target. The report of his in-accuracy came from the target area. All of his attempts had completely missed the target. The tech looked at his rifle, and then at the target. He looked at the rifle again, and then once more at the target. He placed his finger over the end … (14 comments)
agents: 5 Monkeys - Why Real Estate Agents Are Willing To Give Their Listings Away
- 03/21/08 09:58 AM
5 Monkeys - Why Real Estate Agents Are Willing To Give Their Listings Away." Here is an explanation of the why agents aren't more concerned with giving their listings away: Five monkeys were put in an enclosure with a ladder. Every time a monkey went up the ladder, scientists soaked the rest of the monkeys with cold water. After a while, every time a monkey went up the ladder, the others beat up the one on the ladder. After some time, no monkey dared to go up the ladder, regardless of the temptation. The scientists then decided to substitute one … (10 comments)
