listings: Flat? Eggshell? High Gloss?
- 02/19/12 10:37 AM
...most likely not high gloss. Homeowners: please PLEASE reserve that for baseboards and molding only! We've all been in the foreclosures with a shiny turquoise bedroom showcasing every nail hole and crack in the walls. Or the young clients' home that is 'showing off' its candy apple red kitchen highlighting the same blemishes. Yes, many many people are still clinging to red kitchens and burgandy dining rooms from a decade ago or longer- that's another blog... Some people just don't realize the difference between paint finishes. Let's consider that a part of our job when making a listing as presentable and perfect … (1 comments)
listings: A Cure For Being Lost? GPS!
- 10/03/11 02:38 PM
Ok, I don't like to rant, but was just really agitated by another broker in my area recently. Side note pertaining to the following complaints: It's a huge pet peeve of mine when brokers do not provide detailed driving directions to listings. Therefore, MY listings are always accurate down to the spelling. Said agent showed a listing of mine last week. She was 'driving up and down the main road looking for her next road', in turn, 'wasting $30 worth of gas' before she found it. Really? What do you drive? RV? Transfer truck? Admittedly, this could be a difficult property … (1 comments)
listings: Which is better? Clients with similar taste as yourself, or a challenge?
- 04/30/11 11:44 AM
I think we all as Realtors love that our jobs aren't the same every day. We don't clock in and out, have the same daily routines down to a science, or have a boss breathing down our backs. Certainly, the more you put into your career, the more rewarding it shall be I must include though. This brings me to my question. Would you prefer clients that share your interests in a home so that you relate to them better, i.e. floor plans, decor, locations, styles? or would you prefer the challenge of learning a client's way of life and specific … (3 comments)
listings: Tell Me Your Google Advertising Success Story
- 04/07/11 05:18 PM
I've been a fan of Google for years now (love 'em or hate 'em, they're dominating with their cutting-edge tecnhiques). I've signed up for nearly every product of their's recently: Voice, Adsense, AdWords, App Inventor, Places, Analytics, etc. etc. I embedded Google ads on my wife's blog over a year ago just for the fun of it because of the high traffic she generated with other 'Mommy Bloggers' (http://storiesfrommyute.blogspot.com), and figured I'd do the same with our humble company website (version 1.0 -LOL) at H2 Properties (www.h2propertiesnc.com). That, coupled with Adwords, has certainly created traffic and generated leads from visitors willfully entering their contact information … (5 comments)

listings: Friends or Foes?
- 09/29/08 08:13 AM
What do you consider competing real estate agents and agencies? I've gotten some negative responses from coworkers when I share my feeling of appreciation towards competition. I want every transaction to run as smoothly as possible; it makes for a better rapport, which will enhance possible future transactions. We all need each other, right? Clearly, we should all know and agree that you can't have monopolies, even in real estate. Plus, most real estate sales come from competing firms' listings or buyers! It's not every day that you're going to sell your own listings... Overall, I think most of the response … (4 comments)
