real estate agent: Does Your "Professional" Photo Look Like A Facebook Picture?
- 08/18/10 08:57 AM
In the last few days, as I've been perusing and commenting on different blogger's posts, I happened to stop in my tracks, as I noticed far too many images that looked like they'd been taken by the same person, while holding the camera at arm's length. They looked more like a picture I would have on my non-business Facebook page. Is it just me, or do these pictures actually lower the level of professionalism on our blogs? Shouldn't a potential client see a quality photo that says "I'm a professional"? Now I admit that I'm a very visual person. Half the … (79 comments)

- 06/24/10 10:24 PM
A little while ago I was reading a post by Jeff Dowler titled "Make Mistakes, and Make Mistakes Often". I highly recommend you read his post! (You may have to scroll down to his post since it's for members only. My link is to his blog.) As I contemplated, and commented on Jeff's post, I decided to expound on it with this post. And I made this decision because of a personal decision and commitment to which I've held myself for as long as I can remember. In my comment to Jeff, I stated... "It's amazing how many lessons we learn … (23 comments)

South Daytona real estate sellers: I believe you'll appreciate this compilation of real estate data, which can help you see the big picture when it comes to selling your South Daytona house, condo, townhouse, vacant land, or any type of investment property.

real estate agent: Getting Ready to "SHIFT"!
- 12/28/09 04:27 PM
I was wondering why I kept seeing so many posts about this book! Now I know, there's another Active Rain contest/promotion happening. And this book is the center focus. Now I'll be honest and say that since I'm late to the party on this one, I have not yet read the book. But anyone in the real estate industry already knows that a major shift has been happening in the minds of real estate buyers and sellers, and in the entire real estate industry. In order to succeed, real estate agents, and all real estate professionals will have to shift as … (8 comments)

real estate agent: Property Management Ripoffs? What is Your Experience/Opinion?
- 10/14/09 09:38 AM
This morning I received a call from a real estate buyer who wants to buy a condo in Daytona Beach Shores or Ponce Inlet. He had found my web site and wanted to get setup on our automated MLS program, that will send him listings via e-mail. It's a fantastic feature in the the Daytona Beach area MLS! As I was speaking with this real estate investor, we were discussing his options, his criteria, his past real estate experiences, etc... normal real estate chit-chat. Then he mentioned something that got my attention. As we were talking, we were discussing how we … (2 comments)
real estate agent: Found in Beautiful Daytona Beach. I Love These!
- 10/07/09 09:16 PM
In Daytona Beach, we don't have a lot of Willow Trees. But I LOVE them! Ever since I decided to actually research them (I'll give reasons in a future post) I've had a fascination for them. And then I found these in the most unexpected spot, right in the middle of Daytona Beach. So of course I had to take tons of pictures! The Willow Trees, and the words I wrote on this image have significance for me, that will be lost on most of you. But I thought you'd at least enjoy the photo =)

- 09/16/09 05:52 PM
If you live in the Daytona Beach area, there's a good chance that once a year you make the trek to the Volusia County Fairgrounds in DeLand. I just missed the Wordless Wednesday deadline (again) by just a few minutes, but I got an idea after reading Liz Moras' blog post called Wordless Wednesday-Hind Sight~ . Now that is a hilarious post! And it reminded me about my family's trip to the Volusia County Fair, when I decided to video tape the animals.... and the rides! Woo Hoo! So enjoy =)

- 09/12/09 06:33 PM
It's that time again... it's Silly Saturday! =D Of course, I don't necessarily limit my silliness to Saturdays only! IMHO, fun should be happen whenever possible.

So for this Saturday, I'm sharing from my (very) old video archives, a video of my pets at play =^.^= Enjoy! (I apologize for the trial software wording that's embedded on this video. This was my test video before I bought the software.)

real estate agent: Buying a House? What is the Walking Score of your home and neighborhood? Or is this a Ridiculous Ruse?
- 09/07/09 01:29 PM
As I was posting the price reduction to all my real estate blogs (using several is great for pushing your web site up the search engines!), for my real estate listing: Daytona Beach house for sale, within walking distance to the beach... as I got to my personal, Trulia real estate blog, I stumbled across a link that questioned the "walkability of the neighborhood". Well I can't say I've ever seen a web site like that before, so my curiosity was piqued. But not only am I a REALTOR®, I'm also a Daytona Beach native, so I already know the statistics … (36 comments)

- 09/06/09 11:26 AM
It's Speechless Sunday again. But this week I'm changing it up a little bit. Instead of a photo, I'm using a short little video. This is my real estate assistant.

So I know you'll enjoy this video of one of them. Enjoy! (Make sure you have your volume on!)
