sales: How is that helping you? - 07/22/20 09:44 PM
Anyone who knows me, will tell you that I suffer from ADHD. I am like the dogs in the movie UP, I see a squirrel and I am off and running. It is easy to throw me off with the mention of almost anything, boom, I am off in that direction while what I need to do is left undone. I flip homes for a living (currently am flipping 30 homes at one time), teach classes on flipping and own a rental company. I am very busy and find myself working well into the night because I waste part of my workday with … (1 comments)

sales: Marketing - 03/01/17 11:48 PM
I market my listings and invest real money to ensure they sell quickly. I see this as a duty to my clients, on average I invest around $1,500 in marketing. Most recently I invested about $2,300 in a property which had been listed with another agent for 400+ days, without selling. I sold that property in 3 weeks and for $29,000 more than the other agent listed the property for, as I had three offers on the home.
I believe I should invest in each property I list. If I do not think the property will sell, or if I think the client is unrealistic … (2 comments)

When I first started in Real Estate in 2004, I quickly began to purchase Internet leads. I recall my broker making fun of me, telling me what money I was wasting. This concerned me but I also think it gave me a sense of purpose, as I did not have the money to waste and needed it to work.
Soon after I began to call my leads and discovered the only real trick to Internet leads, you have about 10 seconds to call them or they are all but dead. You may catch a few after another agent drops the ball later down the road but … (4 comments)

sales: When you believe in a dream you never know what can happen... - 01/28/17 11:07 AM
When Walt Disney set out to build Disneyland he was to nearly as successful as would be. Walt Disney Studio's was doing well but did not have the kind of capital it takes to build something like Disneyland. To raise money, Walt did what most of us would do, he went to banks, many, many banks who all basically laughed at the idea of a Amusement Park in the middle of an orange grove.
Walt continue to seek capital investments through every avenue he could think of and eventually landed it through American Broadcasting Company (ABC). Walt pre-sold a show, "The Wonderful … (2 comments)

sales: Make a fan - 01/28/17 10:30 AM
Many years back, a family stayed at the Disneyland Hotel. Like most parents they had purchased their children plush toy souvenirs. The first morning, when the family set out for their adventure at Disneyland the children left their toys on the bed (most likely to catch some extra sleep).
After a long day at the park, the family returned to the room to discover the toys were not on the bed where they had been left. Frantic the children went through the room looking for their cherished toys to find them in various places throughout the room, Mickey was hanging by his … (24 comments)
