real estate va: Agents, Just Give Up. - 06/29/10 04:11 AM
It’s oftentimes hard to break through to potential clients that you’re an agent who truly cares.  Naturally, one of the main goals of an agent is to help clients buy or sell their home in the pursuit of getting a percentage of the sale.  And that’s great - that’s your job!  But there are many agents who also truly desire to HELP people find the right home or help with a sale for the betterment of their clients.

So, the issue arises of how you can break free from the pack of money-consumed agents to show that you have a … (2 comments)

real estate va: Tweeting in the Name Of... - 05/04/10 04:37 AM
We can be certain about one thing… Twitter has lost its simple social innocence, if it ever had any.  Unlike Facebook where your old college friends, co-workers and neighbors are still now joining because they feel “out of the loop,” the same pressures don’t seem to apply on Twitter.  That little blue “t” stamped on your pizza box, hair dressers business card and the one scrolling on the bottom of the screen during Sports Center is sending the message that this site is quickly becoming the modern day mailing list.
Does that render it ineffective?  Not yet.  Of course with any … (5 comments)

real estate va: Speaking The Language of Generation Y - 05/03/10 04:10 AM
Generation Y is defined as the age group born just before 1980. Statistically, their income is much higher at a younger age than past generations, a college degree is almost assumed, and with technology always at their fingertips, they are armed with knowledge about any one subject at the drop of a hat. In this market, they are buying homes bigger and sooner than ever before, making them a large part of your client base and one genre that you want to impress.They are nothing like the Boomer generation. They have a different set of values, a different upbringing and different … (1 comments)

real estate va: The New Norm - 04/08/10 02:41 AM
“This is the worst market I have ever seen.”“Business is so slow right now.” “I’m putting marketing on hold until things go back to the way they used to be.”If you really step back and think about these statements, not only are they negative, but after years of the market being where it is, they don’t really apply anymore. There comes a point when we have been in one position long enough, that we must accept the current market as our reality.  This market is the new normal. With that said, dump all of your negative thoughts and stop reminiscing about … (2 comments)

real estate va: Customer Service and Support - A big part of the success of your business - 02/08/10 12:41 AM
As a Real Estate Virtual Assistant company, we are constantly being asked, "Who do you recommend?". Lately, I have been thinking about the reason we recommend certain vendors over others, and nine times out of ten, it is because of customer service and support.

One example of this is a printing company we work with and use often, ExpressCopy.com. They offer competitive pricing and an easy to use website, but above all, they have a support phone number. And when you … (6 comments)
