jackson: After The Storm
- 04/20/12 11:16 PM
When it was easy in the Real Estate Business there was a migration to the business. People quit their real job for a Real Estate business to make some easy money. During the storm there was an exodus. That’s when I got back into the business. People thought I was crazy. Why would you want to be in the RE Brokerage business now?! After the Storm, when the sun comes out the survivors will be standing in the sun and will appreciate the fact that they survived the storm. I for one appreciate all the clients, customers, referrals and support … (12 comments)

jackson: Price, Presentation and MARKETING to SELL Your Home
- 11/18/11 02:33 AM
Price - Yes you must price your home properly to move it. An overpriced home will set! Real estate agents hear this all the time, "Let's just price the home high and see if there is anyone that just falls in love with it." The reality is in the numbers!
Presentation - Want a Realtor to list your home? OK, get it clean, de clutered and ready to show. When your Real Estate agent comes to the listing presentation they are interviewing the Seller as well as being interviewed. That is if they are a good agent. Show them you … (0 comments)

jackson: What does a Certification REALLY Mean?
- 08/20/11 08:45 AM
I am a Broker in both Idaho and Wyoming. With Cerifications for Equator, e-PRO, GRI and SFR (Short Sale and Foreclosure) I just asked myself "What does it REALLY Mean"? After considering this for a moment I offer this:
Each and every Certification course and test comes with a learning experience (you would expect that right) When we are willing to spend time, money and effort to gain accreditation we show a commitment to learning. Some of these although redundant are simply a third party confirming you have knowledge of a topic. I have a desire to learn. These … (2 comments)
jackson: Unfair Share?
- 07/23/11 09:54 AM
I read in a marketing book a while back a phrase about getting your "UNFAIR SHARE" of the market. I have used this to explain how I was doing in our down market and had a conversation with an Architect friend, this is something how it went: Q: How is your brokerage doing? A: We are getting our unfair share. I am thankful for opportunities that have come our way. Architect: Unfair share sounds somewhat negative, I see how hard you have been working. That is like saying you are getting your "unfair" share of the sunlight because you crawled out of the cave and stood … (4 comments)

jackson: 3 Tips to Help You SELL YOUR HOME
- 06/09/11 07:49 AM
Here are 3 tips to help you Sell your Home: 1. Price your home correctly from the beginning. You will show the home more in the first 30 to 60 days, so start with a competitive price from the start. 2. Sweeten the Deal. Extra incentives like appliances included, flat screen TV's that are mounted and fit a certain spot or a dining table that really makes the room can be included in the sell. These kinds of things may help you close the Deal. Other options are paying closing costs, buying down the buyer's interest rate or selling agent bonus. Until … (4 comments)

jackson: VOW and AVM on MLS
- 12/17/09 02:37 AM
For those of you that don't know, a VOW is Virtual Office Website and an AVM is an Automated Valuation Model and the MLS stands for Multiple Listing Service. An example of an AVM is Zillow's Zestimate although Zillow is not a VOW. My website http://www.TetonPropertySearch.com is an example of a VOW (this site alows you the public to search the Teton Board of Realtors MLS including Driggs, Victor, Tetonia, and all of Teton County Idaho and Jackson Wyoming including all of Teton County Wyoming, although I do not have an AVM. Does this all make sense now? … (4 comments)
