wilson: 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)

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:

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)
wilson: 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.

wilson: 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)
