georgia: Dumb as a Rock or What!
- 02/19/08 01:21 AM
So what do you do when your buyer is as dumb as a rock? OK, not everyone is a rocket scientist and these folks are first time buyers. But come on where does personal responsibility start. The total story goes something like this. You explain in detail trying to make the words no longer than 5 or 6 letters with only 2 syllables. You provide them with a CD with characters speaking in English demonstrating through acting the entire process of home buying. Why you even give them not just a flow sheet explaining what act follows the next in the buying … (1 comments)
georgia: SOLICITATIONS TO A AN IMPROVED & BETTER REALTOR THROUGH USING XYZ SYSTEM
- 02/12/08 12:52 AM
Of late I have noticed an ever increasing number of solicitations from every self appointed Real Estate Guru offering "OPPORTUNITIES" to increase my success in this slow and precarious market. Now it may be just me and perhaps I am a bit jaded after having spent nearly 15 years in Real Estate. Along with having attended many sales seminars and workshops with such well know super stars as Zeigler, Ferry, Cooper and others over the past 25 years. Regardless of this exposure I have endeavored to keep an open mind about all the folks who want to help me through their … (4 comments)
georgia: BPO's PROBLEMS OR ASSET?
- 11/26/07 01:00 AM
Over the past few months I have posted several comments about BPO's. Well here is another in which I am going to vent just a smidge. The problem I have is not in doing them but the variation from one source to another. You would think that whether it is vendor A or Vendor Z the criteria would be standard. But as many of you know that is simply NOT the case. Let me start with a few of the variations that I've seen. Company A requires Comp's to be no older than 90 days: While company B will accept nothing … (2 comments)
georgia: Long term Approach vs Flash And Dash
- 11/08/07 02:06 AM
I've just read the post by Gail Tassey out of Austin TX. after walking in on a conversation between two less experienced agents who were talking about the same thing that Gail presented in her Blog. You know the drill "Now is a Great Time" to begin developing business for 2008. This entire approach that we have to start now doing something to bail ourselves out and get ahead tomorrow has always bothered me. You see it clearly reflects the True American Business Model. Don't get me wrong I am as American as home made apple pie. But the problem I … (1 comments)
georgia: The Market In The Golden Isles Today Nov 2007
- 11/06/07 08:23 AM
Greetings from the Golden Isles! I know that this economic update for this area is earlier than you expected but with so much negativism in the National Media over the past week I thought that I would look at what has happen year to date and over the past quarter in the Golden Isles and report to you. Although I am no economic guru nor do I have the ability to see into some magic crystal ball that allows me to make economic predictions.... Hey... some days I have trouble seeing beyond my nose. But seriously I believe that information is … (1 comments)
georgia: BPO's and interesting experience... what about you?
- 09/14/07 02:03 AM
Over the past year I have become increasingly involved in doing BPO's and although at times they can be a real pain to do for not much money. I have developed a fairly good relationship with three companies. I have been able to negotiate an acceptable fee structure and during these recent slack times I've kept myself occupied with two to three a week. Although most are validation reports I have been able to pick up around 30% of them as fresh listings which fortunately I have been able to dispose of in relatively short order. As those of you who do … (6 comments)
georgia: Labor Day and a fresh Start
- 08/30/07 02:37 AM
Well Labor Day is upon us and many areas of the country will see a further decrease in the market for afterall the "Season" is over. So would someone please help me understand what the season is? Selling is selling! Meaning at least to me that you have a product that is available and you simply want to find someone who wants it. Sure there are times when there are more potential buyers but just because the season is ending doesn't mean we should work any less harder. No, in fact we need to redouble our effrts since the target becomes smaller. … (4 comments)
georgia: SOLICITATION SAYING THEY HAVE AR'S OK!
- 07/25/07 02:09 AM
So why are we being solicited by folks who are hawking Multi-leveled Marketing schemes not just through our AR email contact but via telephone? Phone calls which clearly state the saw my profile and have the permission of AR President to contact ME. Now I don't know about anyone else but frankly I DO NOT have the time to answer a call from a marketing hawk nor respond to a plethora of email from another (A well written lady from the Midwest). Initially, I just blew of the email and informed the marketer that I was not interested in the scheme. After … (6 comments)
georgia: Another Scam that Might be coming to Your area
- 04/28/07 03:31 AM
Recently, I received a call from a past client whose elderly mother had an interesting visitor. It seems that a well dressed male rang her door bell, introduced himself and proceeded to inform her that he had pruchased the property several years before at a tax sale and he was now calling in the note. You see my clients mother was now the occupant of a home which my client had purchased as a VA foreclosure over four years before. His mother's visitor demanded payment then and there but my client's mother said she would have to speak to her son … (7 comments)

georgia: Blythe Island Georgia a forgotten destination in the Golden Isles!
- 03/22/07 02:39 AM
It occurred to me this morning in reading a blog by Eric Bouler entitled Localism Photos, should photos be by local area Members only? That in doing an overview of "The Golden Isles" entitled So What are the Golden Isles I'd neglected to include many of the smaller areas incorporated and not that add to the charm and beauty of the area. Therefore from time to time I'll add another neighborhood to localism within the context of the Golden Isles. The First of these will be Blythe Island. Yes a true residential island that is completely surrounded by several rivers, deepwater and … (0 comments)
georgia: The Wrong Kind Of Advertising or Not?
- 03/16/07 02:54 AM
The entire country has recently been fascinated about the story of a 6 year old child who simply disappeared from a lower income neighborhood in Glynn County Georgia. Yesterday the body of the child was found due to the diligent work of the Glynn County Police Department, The Department of Natural Resources, Glynn County Fire Services and other community organizations and individuals who came together for the sole purpose of finding this child. The perpetrator (s) have been arrested and the community awaits what will surely be a long and torturous pretrial and criminal prosecution. During the week that the nation watched … (1 comments)
georgia: A snaphot of Spring in The Golden Isles
- 03/12/07 02:00 AM
Springtime in the Golden Isles means moderate temperatures ranging from the night time 50's to the upper 70's daytime. This range is accompanied by clear day time skies with the occasional late afternoon/evening thunder boomer and late afternoon on shore breezes. The landscape takes on an ever growing and glowing green tint with blossoms from thousands of azaleas, wild plum trees and Dogwoods breaking through the winter grays to provide springtime color from the beaches throughout the mainland and marshland areas. Of coarse there are a few negatives such as the influx of visitors from colder environs as well as the bursting … (0 comments)

A very special home, located on Saint Simons Island Georgia.

Beautiful hardwood floors, masonary fireplace with many updates this is a rare find. If you're concerned about yard maintenance (grass).
