referrals: Great Strategy to use with Buyers and Sellers! - 01/18/11 03:52 PM
Last week I talked about the open house flyer that I made and the great success I had with it.   As if that wasn't exciting enough,  I have something even more exciting!  I'm going to show you a video I emailed one of the realtors in my area.   Now it's not a big production thing because I'm a Mortgage Advisor not an actor.  So I'm not looking for any type of awards.  But once you see how you can save the buyer each month in their payment AND the seller would pay less then reducing his sales price to get to that savings, … (0 comments)

referrals: This may help you close at least one more transaction this year. - 10/22/10 05:58 AM

referrals: Word of Mouth is best right? - 10/04/10 06:10 AM
So today I sit here thinking, what kind of insight and help can I provide today.  Then I remembered something that helped me and thought I would share it with you!
