real estate mora minnesota: Real Estate As An Art Form - A Deep Look Into My Views
- 05/16/08 10:39 AM
I learned a hard lesson early in life. There is only one way to do things. When I started kindergarden, I could read. I mean, I could read so well that the teachers would have ME read to the class for a "break". I could add, subtract, multiply, divide. I was a little "ahead of my time". I was the first born, my mom stayed at home with me, and spent a lot of time teaching me things. I loved reading, anyway, and definitely enjoyed reading to the class. As we grew and moved on to bigger and better things (first grade), … (15 comments)
real estate mora minnesota: Joslyn's Top Ten Facts About Mora, Minnesota!
- 09/26/07 06:00 AM
I thought I would put together some fun and interesting facts about Mora. Some are the usual, and some are very unusual! Besides, if all of my blogs were about real estate in Mora Minnesota, they would get old pretty quickly! Enjoy! Mora's most recent population poll came in at 3,193. It's a wonderful small town located 62 miles north of Minneapolis, and about 47 miles northeast of St. Cloud. In Mora, about 49% of adults are married. A relatively large number of people in Mora live by themselves. The city is known for its large population of single adults. (I would have … (4 comments)
real estate mora minnesota: Why It Is The Perfect Time To Buy A House In Mora!
- 09/12/07 04:13 PM
I'm sure you've heard the news reporters talk about how bad the real estate market is, and how prices have dropped. Well, it is true that prices have dropped, and Mora is no exception. Prices in Mora (like everywhere else) had been inflated for quite a while. Now, with the adjusting market, more properties have settled into the correct price, which is great to see. Right now is the perfect time for anyone to buy a home. If it is your first home, you can get started in a decent house with a smaller payment, and earn equity as the market begins … (0 comments)
real estate mora minnesota: Pop Quiz, And It's Failed!
- 08/24/07 08:50 AM
I have a few deals right now that really blow my mind. I can't believe my luck. I had a septic and well fail on one. One is in a flood zone. One has no air exchange system, and the house is suffering from mold issues. And one is a bank owned, that needs to pass a water test, has a closing date of the 31st, and the REO manager is out of town, so we cannot get an answer until Monday as to if they have even accepted our counter! I suppose that if they were all easy, we wouldn't get paid what we do. … (14 comments)
real estate mora minnesota: All About MeMe!
- 07/19/07 09:35 AM
I just checked my e-mail, and noticed that I have been MeMe'd by Debbie Baldes who works in my fiancee's old stomping grounds of Roseville, CA. Now, what I love about reading MeMe's is that we all act like we hate it, that it's such a pain... yet I really think that we do like doing it. Even me. So, with that said (don't deny it, you know you love it!) here is my second MeMe. By the way, you can read my first one - Me? Me-Me'd??? Who Woulda Thunk It?

real estate mora minnesota: Five Days Off? Are You Kidding Me???
- 05/24/07 10:41 AM
I am a real estate agent through and through. I took to it like a duck to water. Cell phone? Check. Obsession with office voicemail? Check. PA's and listing agreements neatly compiled in my car? Check. So naturally, when my fiancee, Nick, said he wanted to go camping for Memorial Weekend...... I asked how long we would be gone. We do this every year, and I've always been super excited. Right now I'm having a panic attack. We're leaving tonight, coming back sometime on TUESDAY. TUESDAY, people! I'm freaking out. What if someone calls? What if there is a question that someone needs answered? What if a PA comes in???? WHAT IF … (15 comments)

- 05/17/07 09:13 AM
When you click on "My Home" at the top of your screen, what do YOU see? I know what I see. I see today's most recent blogs. It's what's to the right that shocks me. My subscribed blogs. Millions upon millions of subscribed blogs. Okay, not millions, but definitely a lot! I click on associations. Millions of associations. Okay, once again, I do tend to exaggerate, but you get the idea. I LOVE having "friends" in real estate. I love having people I can send referrals to, people who share their ideas with me, and people who are knowledgable, creative, caring, and fun. I love to hear … (2 comments)
real estate mora minnesota: My Flyers! My Expired Letter! It's ME You Want To Talk To!!!
- 05/17/07 07:12 AM
I have a problem, and it's very perplexing. I flyer, I farm, and I send out expired letters. There IS response. That's not the problem. The problem is that they don't remember who I am. The call the office or stop by. They remember RE/MAX. Most don't admit that it was a flyer that made them stop here. But as they call or come in and are describing the place, I'm thinking "I flyered them! They haven't worked with anyone, they don't ask for anyone, what am I doing wrong????" They end up talking to whoever is on floor, which so far has not been … (90 comments)
real estate mora minnesota: Can't We All Be Friends????
- 05/15/07 07:20 AM
I love going out and meeting other agents. I love learning about them, seeing their listings, the way they act, things they do to stage a home... I just love it. For example. Recently, an agent called our office and talked to our broker. Her office is in Ramsey, and she has a listing here in Mora. The hard part about that is that you aren't familiar with the competition. I feel sorry for her, because she called our broker, saying that she had gotten feedback from one of the agents here in the office, and their opinion was that it … (8 comments)

real estate mora minnesota: MySpace networking - just isn't AR, is it?
- 05/10/07 09:44 AM
I have been MySpace networking for months upon months. Before I was even licensed, I was making friends "in the biz" on MySpace. But has it helped? I've gotten a few leads off of myspace. They have been cold leads, but they are still some. I just maintain my presence, helpful attitude, and girly layout. I blog, I add more friends, I comment for birthdays. Somehow, however, I find I would rather spend my time on AR. AR gives me rankings in google searches, knowledge, opinions, and fun. I have become spoiled, looking no further than blogs for marketing ideas, advice on farming, and … (20 comments)
real estate mora minnesota: You Crazy Cat!
- 05/10/07 07:24 AM
I don't know what to do about "Briggy Monster". She has turned into a monster. Recently I came home to a window carelessy left open by Nick, and a screen sliced open by Briggs. I was quite upset. A week later, I came home after dark, and standing in the middle of the road was none other than Briggy. Examination of the house showed that another window (NICK!) was left open, and Briggy pushed the screen out. Last night I came home, and Nick was outside. I went in the house, and there was no sign of Briggy. I raced around, checking all the windows, … (32 comments)

real estate mora minnesota: Why I Love Working For My Broker!
- 05/08/07 04:23 AM
Some people say "Joslyn, you didn't even bother to look at other companies. What were you thinking???" I was thinking that I knew who I trusted, and knew I loved this office. Some of you know, and some of you don't, that I started here as the receptionist. I had interviewed for a position as a receptionist elsewhere, but didn't get hired. An ex-broker had interviewed, and got the position. When I started here, I wasn't sure how it was going to go. Everyone watched everything I did, and didn't trust me a bit. That faded with time. I just watched and observed. … (8 comments)
real estate mora minnesota: Why I Don't Take Pictures For Other REALTORS Anymore!
- 05/08/07 03:22 AM
So I'm fairly new, as most of you know, but I thought I'd throw this little story out there. I'm sure there are many other good stories, but it's still funny, and definitely worth a blog post! Don't know about the contest? Check it out here! I have a manufactured home that needs to be moved, and was discussing with another agent in my office how it may be beneficial to do a combined ad in the paper with my manufactured and a plot of land that she has listed where a manufactured home would be okay to move in. She, like me, … (28 comments)
real estate mora minnesota: HomeGain - anyone familiar?
- 05/07/07 07:47 AM
I've found that when I search google for "real estate agent Mora Minnesota", I'm only topped by two things. One is GMAC real estate (No problem, I'll overcome that obstacle soon!!!) and the other is homegain. I went online and checked it out, but I was curious if anyone here on AR is familiar with it. It boasts getting so many leads a month, but I don't know how I'd get that many leads considering the area that I'm working. I live in a small town, after all. I also wonder how I'm going to knock them down in the searches. I … (82 comments)

real estate mora minnesota: You Silly Goose! Literally!
- 05/07/07 06:33 AM
Yesterday, after showing houses all day, I went home and even though I was exhausted, couldn't seem to relax. I went outside and started turning the soil over in my flower garden. It's full of weeds all the time, and I just decided to dig it up and then spray it. Luckily, since I'm kind of stupid as far as gardening/plants/green stuff is concerned, I have a fiance who is a Vegetation Restoration Specialist for the 6 county area. (IMPACK 6) So even though I have no clue what I'm doing, he does. Thank goodness! So I was wandering around the yard, … (2 comments)
