jeff geoghan: ABC - Building blocks of your real estate database
- 03/10/17 08:11 AM
Growing your real estate sales means mastering your “book of business.” You should have a goal to grow your database each year. In almost every one-on-one session I do with an agent, I bring up this topic. Agents tend to focus on marketing vs. prospecting (as I did as an agent... no judgement here). When I'm sitting with an agent or especially a team leader, I try to postpone that "shiny toy" conversation for a few minutes in favor of talking them through the idea that they're building something... so why don't we look at what they have built so far … (3 comments)
jeff geoghan: Helping with Lancaster Habitat's Builders Blitz
- 07/09/14 04:58 AM
Recently I had the opportunity to volunteer with our Lancaster office agents over at the 2014 Builder’s Blitz at Lancaster Habitat for Humanity. It was great to meet all the “regular” volunteers and tradespeople working on the site, and we brought along another twenty helpers of our own!
Lancaster Habitat is adding two new duplexes to the property this year during the blitz, joining the 6 they built a few years ago along Fairview Street in Lancaster City. To learn more about the Builders Blitz program check out this link. Another local Lancaster company, Stoner Bunting Advertising, was there on … (0 comments)
jeff geoghan: Do You Know What I Found When I Googled You?
- 02/23/13 01:24 PM
Most of us in business have heard this said in their presence at least once in the last year - perhaps in the last couple of days. This is the new normal. Do you know what someone found when they Googled you? The front page of a Google search on a person can be very enlightening. It displays the items of most relevance to that person or business name, whether they are flattering or not. Now, most of us don't have too many skeletons in our closets but we still need to pay attention to what Google's front page is … (10 comments)
jeff geoghan: July 4th Means A Lot To Me...
- 07/03/12 03:37 AM
I am glad Independence Day falls on a weekday this year. When we can lump it into a long weekend, I think we risk losing the significance of the day. As someone who very recently stood in the very room where 55 men put their names to the Declaration that changed everything, I get teary-eyed about our freedom. As I wrote about last week, we had the chance to tour New England two weeks ago. This tour was noteworthy in several ways, but today I wanted to point out that a.) we were able to travel through several states at our … (0 comments)
jeff geoghan: The End Of One Era, The Beginning Of A New One!
- 01/04/12 01:12 AM
Today I write my last blog post as a real estate agent... well, sort of. Can it ever get out of your blood? I've covered a lot of ground since my first post here at Activerain, back in April 2007. The family of real estate bloggers was much smaller then. It was Activerain that first fueled my passion for new media marketing and reaching people through my words. I can say today that it was indeed worth the work to get here. This blog post will be my 901st... exactly 900 posts, the record in Lancaster County by far … (4 comments)

- 05/05/11 07:24 AM
Virtually every other day I interact with prospective home buyers who are in the early stages of researching properties (usually online) and reaching out for more info on a property. To anyone in this stage, let me give you some advice you won't see or hear in most places:HIRE A BUYER AGENT FIRSTThe process of real estate buying usually involves you (as a buyer) eventually hiring an agent to write the offer for you and move forward. All too often, however, buyers wait and wait before taking the step of engaging an agent. Do not do this - the first … (5 comments)

jeff geoghan: Another Satisfied Client Speaks Out...
- 05/25/10 08:06 AM
How did you meet Jeff? Quickly describe how Jeff helped you make your buy/sell decision. Friends of ours recommended Jeff, so we gave him a call to take us for some showings. Jeff was helpful in deciphering what we wanted and the pros and cons of each house we visited.
Was Jeff professional in his efforts on your behalf? Any example you can give? It was obvious to us that Jeff was looking out for our best interests and not simply trying to find a house and get a deal done. His patience and willingness to do whatever we needed … (5 comments)
