saint simons island: Technology
- 06/07/09 10:41 AM
I must begin this brief commentary on Technology by saying "I LOVE MY WIFE". However, when it comes to technology she is an addict. Every new gadget, widget and what you call it she has to have. The only problem is she gets so inundated with the latest "Toy" that she has little to no time for the real meat of Real Estate. I know this may sound somewhat antiquated to those of you who are in the now generation but you can have all the blogs, web presence, practice what the talking heads say is the "best business practice" hire (2 comments)
saint simons island: 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)

- 01/04/08 07:19 AM
Greetings and Happy New Years from what today one could call the deep freeze. You see it is currently 24 degrees and windy but it is winter and considering this will last for only another day...well one need not complain too much since this is only the 4th or 5th cold event we've had in the past 12 months. Speaking of which let me get to the 4th quarter report. Yep the ole end of year. Because I don't wish to bore everyone to death with endless statistics for the entire year I'll restrict this commentary to the last quarter sales (0 comments)
saint simons island: 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)

saint simons island: Team Selling Concept
- 02/16/07 01:50 AM
Recently a concept and a new local company entered this highly competitive market here in Coastal Georgia. Although I will not identify them by name I'll simply call it "Team X" I will explain the concept as best as I understand it. The reasons I am doing so are two fold. First I've not run into this particular approach in Realty and secondly I was curious if anyone else had any direct experience with this type of approach. My understanding of the concept was provided by the Owner/Broker at a chance meeting last evening where I had the opportunity to quiz (14 comments)
