ralph gorgogliione: What I look for when choosing a referral recipient agent.......
- 03/09/18 08:13 AM
What I look for when choosing a referral recipient agent.......
I am now entering my 13th year as an agent, and more recently, a broker. I am a broker / owner of two separate brokerages in two separate states: Hawaii and California.
Suffice it to say, I not only receive, but give quite a few referrals to agents in different areas across the U.S.
Just thought I'd share both my process and criteria for what I feel is the best agent/broker to choose when handing out referral business. Because, you are basically putting your client's trust, which is hard-earned, into the hands of another … (7 comments)

ralph gorgogliione: Things To Do and See on Maui: Upper Waikani Falls
- 03/07/18 09:44 PM
Upper Waikani Falls is a trio of large waterfalls set amid rocks and lush vegetation with a popular local swimming hole, making the falls a popular stop on the Road to Hana.
This waterfall is easily visible from the road, and many people will stop at the small viewpoint above the falls. However, getting down to it is also quite easy and worth the trip. The trickiest part is finding parking!
Upper Waikani Falls is usually referred to as "Three Bears", because it consists of three separate but parallel falls of differing lengths. Make sure to visit Upper Waikani Falls to see … (2 comments)

142 people came through my open house, with SPIES........
142 people came through my open house this weekend.....
Yup. That's right. 142 people.
We marketed this property the right way for this market, and it resulted in 142 people coming to our open house.
Crazy market in LA. Cray-Cray.
But wait, there's more!
We had a GOOD cash offer during the week. The only thing is, they put a 24-hour deadline on their offer. And my clients wanted to stick to the plan of waiting until after the open house to allow the market to speak to them. So we respectfully declined, and asked if they could … (2 comments)

Monday Morning Quote to "Get 'Ya Goin'"!
"My father could have been a great comedian but he did not believe that was possible for him and so he made a conservative choice. Instead he got a safe job as an accountant and when I was 12 years old. He got let go from that safe job and our family had to do whatever we could do to survive. I learned many great lessons form my father. Not the least of which was that: You can’t fail at what you don’t want. So you might as well take a chance on doing what … (4 comments)

Showing property in Beachwood Canyon today......
LOVE Beachwood Canyon! One of the most central cities in the Los Angeles area.
Adjacent to Hollywood, 20 minutes to downtown, 15 minutes to the Valley, and just a couple minutes to the 101 Fwy.
Beachwood Canyone has one of the most wonderfully ecclectic collection of well-maintained homes in the area. Plus, it also has both the flats and hills, so whichever your preference, you'll find a happy box!
Homes start around the $1M mark, and then go upwards from there.
There are also a few condo complexes there also. Maybe starting with a one bedroom unit in the high … (2 comments)

Showed property in Altadena yesterday
Altadena, CA is one of those areas that I recommend to clients that are looking for a single family home that need to purchase in a certain pricepoint. Altadena is one of those cities where you certainly do get your dollar's worth by Los Angeles standards.
It is located just north of Pasadena. In fact, it shares a border with Pasadena.
The setting is somewhat of a combination of semi-rural and urban. Most of the lots are a decent size also. The neighborhoods have a distinct charm. It has a beautiful background of the San Gabriel mountain range.
There is … (3 comments)

Back in LA for business Trip
So I'm Back in Los Angeles to take care of some business and have lunch with several clients and business associates.
I had the wonderful Los Angeles freeway system to welcome me back. I know it so well. Yuk!!
This was MID DAY about 11am that I was driving.
101 freeway packed headed towards downtown, so I diverted to the 5 fwy.
Packed!
Trapped like a rat!! LOL
When are they going to start making flying cars?
Oh, well. At least I can re-route myself to one of my favorite restaurants.
With this traffic, it looks like I'll be about 50 pounds heavier by … (2 comments)

ralph gorgogliione: One of my biggest pet peeves............
- 04/30/17 11:48 AM
One of my biggest pet peeves............
Probably my biggest pet peeve when it comes to other agents is non-communication.
How many times have you sent an offer, or emailed the agent with a request for showing, or asked a quick question, etc., and the agent never gets back to you?
I mean, isn't your job to get that property sold? Are you not doing a huge disservice to your seller by not keeping the dialogue going with everyone interested in purchasing it?
There are some agents in our area that really annoy me. I'm certain their lack of communication stems from their desire to try and … (5 comments)

My Wallpaper: Pourquoi? A little insight for you....
Here is a screenshot of the wallpaper I keep on my Mac:
The reason I choose to look at this picture of the water rushing to a beautiful shore line is for some ver powerful reasons. Standing on the shore of any ocean is probably one of the most powerful things anyone can do. Why? Because when you stand next to the ocean, it reminds you just how small you are, or how small ANY one person is in the entire scheme of things. It reminds me to be humble. It reminds me that I … (15 comments)

Listing agent: Are you are representing any of the other offers?
Dual representation has always been a controversial and/or debatable subject in the real estate industry. I do believe that it can be handled properly and fairly, but often times it can definitely be skewed.
I personally call it "harboring". That is, the listing agent will "harbor" their own buyer and give them an unfair advantage over the rest. And the funny part is, some buyers know this so they play into the greed of the listing agent in an attempt to leverage their offer and get an acceptance on the property.
