gary l white flexit realty: I am done, I finished, It's Over!
- 03/17/12 10:27 PM
I finished my master's program! I could not have been released from jail and be happier. Don't get me wrong I was the one that signed up for the education. I wanted to have a more in depth knowledge to help my company, business and clients. Obtaining a Master's Level education isn't exactly like getting your four year degree. Doing in remotely and attending live lectures remotely is also a bit weird but it works. Testing is still like it always is you have to answer the questions. I started my Master's program in September of 2011 and took my final … (14 comments)
gary l white flexit realty: 2012 Homes For Sale Inventory Grand Rapids Michigan
- 03/09/12 02:51 AM
Homes for sale inventory can affect how long your home is for sale and what your eventual sell price could be. Less homes available in the housing market for sale means a higher concentration of home buyers for remaining homes for sale. Conversely if a larger number of homes are competing for the same buyer the lower the sell price and fewer buyers see the majority of homes available. This is a basic supply and demand matrix. Sometimes called a seller and buyer's market. Many areas of the country have more homes for sale in the spring and summer. This seasonality … (0 comments)
gary l white flexit realty: Pricing Your Home To Sell 2012!
- 03/09/12 02:06 AM
Considering selling your home but do not have an idea of what sell price to place on your home in the current Grand Rapids real estate market? In the Grand Rapids Real Estate housing market one of the guides to use for sell price analysis is the cost per square foot of a home. This analysis can also be very telling on the current condition of the real estate market. In 2006, before greed turned the housing market upside down, the average price per square foot to build a home was approximately $110.00 in the West Michigan real estate housing market. … (0 comments)
gary l white flexit realty: How Long To Sell Your Home?
- 03/09/12 01:32 AM
Every home seller should know the average time it will presumably take to sell their home. This information should also interest home buyers. Seller's can use this information as a general guide to home selling time-frames. The variables are condition, location and price. I would add one more very important consideration to the list. Marketing and the exposure of your home to buyer's by the seller or the agent or broker hired as the real estate sales agent. Buyer's many times play "chicken" with their future by waiting for the price on a particular property to go down before making an … (0 comments)
gary l white flexit realty: Selling Homes in Your Town?
- 03/08/12 03:19 AM
Selling Home in town may seem like an odd question to ask. The fact is, many agents and brokers do not use the right keywords to help the search engines place their blogs, articles and online advertising of a properly in the right location. Google like many other search engines is using a blended searching method to offer a better user experience to those using their search engine. Without specific keywords and tags to help identify those keywords your article might be showing up in a location you never intended. For example if you do not sell home regionally around the … (6 comments)
gary l white flexit realty: MC Scow Class Fleet
- 03/07/12 05:28 AM
Wondering what the heck that is? One of my little Passions or Obsessions. The MC Scow is a 16' long 5'8" beam racing sailboat. MC Scow Class is a strict one design fleet. I have raced sailboats for a long time (30 years) although I have reduced the size by about 30 feet I now spend my summers racing a small boat called a dngny. Kind of fitting I think, some people think it is a bit dingy to spend so much money on something sooner or later you will surely damage. The type of boat I race, right … (0 comments)

gary l white flexit realty: Time Change Already?
- 03/04/12 02:47 AM
Yup! Next Weekend we change our clocks back from Daylight Saving time. How many people are late each year for something because they forgot to change their clocks. November 20011 we changed our clocks and according the National Geographic 27% of the people that were in a time zone that changed were late. Heck my wife says, I don't need an excuse to be late! If it isn't a real estate appointment I am late. She thinks I am going to be late for my own funeral. I have no doubt she'll make sure I am on time!

- 03/03/12 12:26 AM
Real Estate Face Time, being in front of clients. Real Estate for all the technology to send and receive, display, tell and show our goal is still, creating face to face meetings. Everything we do as real estate agents is working toward that one event, a face to face meeting. I talk to dozens of people on the phone everyday but 90% of my opportunity happens when I meet them face to face. You can build rapport with clients over the Internet, from your website and phone. You start building trust with testimonials but complete trust and faith is built when … (2 comments)

Blog integration to direct website traffic when and where you want it to go. Seeing a blast of links and logos that overpower the actual information being presented can cause an information overload conflict and confusion for the viewer of your post.
