Top Producer, Anyone?

Marcy Fedalei (Keller Williams Realty) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 04:26:57 -0700

After a year using Top Producer, I fail to see the benefits. I have used it for database management, lead generation and prospecting, and managing buyer/seller transactions. As the year has progressed, I have found it easier and faster to manage transactions and prospecting manually. It has been useful for lead generation and database management, but TP8i has made that less useful. Furthermore, I dislike having to be online to use, and constantly having to re-log on. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I would love to hear the experiences of people who have felt the same and discontinued using it. Marcy Fedalei 864-316-2563 MarcyFedalei@charter.net

Going Green...

Marcy Fedalei (Keller Williams Realty) — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 04:23:49 -0700

What a great value-added service for your listing clients. Without going the full certification route, I wonder if there is a standard checklist that sellers might complete when getting ready to list their house for sale. Besides a home warranty and pre-inspection, I would think it would be a helpful selling point. Marcy Fedalei 864-316-2563 MarcyFedalei@charter.net www.BeautifulSpartanburg.com

Staging Certification - any recommendations?

Marcy Fedalei (Keller Williams Realty) — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 04:09:34 -0700

Does anyone know how staging certification works? Are there different certifications from different organizations? If so, what are the strengths and weaknesses of them. I would like to get certified but am not sure which direction to go. Any info would be greatly appreciated. If I am going to get certified, I would like to know which is the best.

Establishing Rapport in a Buyer Interview

Marcy Fedalei (Keller Williams Realty) — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 00:07:24 -0700

This is vitally important so that you can obtain the information you need to efficiently and effectively serve your client. Unless your Buyer feels comfort and trust in you, you may not get complete honesty. It pays to take the time to establish rapport before going further - it will save time in the long run. Marcy Fedalei 864-316-2563 MarcyFedalei@charter.net www.BeautifulSpartanburg.com

Keeping up with technology.

Marcy Fedalei (Keller Williams Realty) — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 23:53:49 -0700

Where does it end? Smart phones, websites, internet access, virtual tours, call capture, Top Producer, and so on - all at a "nominal" monthly fee that can add up to mucho bucks. It is important to know which technologies have a return on the dollar. It is refreshing that at least ActiveRain is free. What technologies do you think have the highest return?

Printer Ink

Marcy Fedalei (Keller Williams Realty) — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 23:51:53 -0700

Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations on minimizing the cost of printer ink? With a printer at the office and three at home, keeping up with ink is getting pretty expensive. I know some people buy ink refills and refill the cartridge themselves, and am wondering if it worth the time and mess.

Your Final Step in Buying a Home...

Marcy Fedalei (Keller Williams Realty) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 14:42:14 -0700

You are almost there. You just need to prepare for closing and prepare for moving day. Order utilities a few days before. Notify contacts of your address change. Schedule a locksmith to change the locks - this is a must! Then go to closing, relax, and enjoy your new home. Take a moment to thank your realtor. You both have worked hard for this day. Marcy Fedalei 864-316-2563 MarcyFedalei@charter.net www.BeautifulSpartanburg.com

Your Fifth Step In Buying A Home...

Marcy Fedalei (Keller Williams Realty) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 14:40:23 -0700

Once the contract has signed, you will need to follow through on any terms set in the contract. This may include things such applying for financing and ordering a general home and other inspections, appraisal, survey, and home warranty. You will also need to choose a closing time and place, and possibly an attorney. Remember, your realtor is there to assist you every step of the way. Marcy Fedalei 864-316-2563 MarcyFedalei@charter.net www.BeautifulSpartanburg.com

Your Fourth Step In Buying A Home...

Marcy Fedalei (Keller Williams Realty) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 14:38:13 -0700

Once you have found a home, the next step is to write a contract. This starts with making an offer on house, indicating what price and terms you want. The Seller may accept your offer, decline your offer, or make a counteroffer. Once you have both agreed on the contract, both parties will sign it. A good realtor is a great asset to have in writing and negotiating a contract and can save you a lot of money. Marcy Fedalei 864-316-2563 MarcyFedalei@charter.net www.BeautifulSpartanburg.com

Your Third Step In Buying A Home...

Marcy Fedalei (Keller Williams Realty) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 14:35:52 -0700

The next step is to look at properties. From your consultation, your realtor will do a thorough search of all available properties in the location that you want with the features that your want and within the price range that your want and are qualified for. You will review the list and select the ones that you would like to visit. When touring the selected homes, look first at whether you like the home and if it feels right to you. Then check that it fits all your needs. Finally, assess its condition. This will help you determine an asking price and avoid expensive surprises after you move in. Marcy Fedalei 864-316-2563 MarcyFedalei@charter.net www.BeautifulSpartanburg.com

Your Second Step to Buying a Home...

Marcy Fedalei (Keller Williams Realty) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 14:32:52 -0700

In your initial consultation with your realtor, you will be asked about your wants and needs. What do you want in a home? Where would you like to live? Do you need to be in a particular school district? You will be asked about your financial qualifications. Will you use cash or financing? If financing, have you talked to a lender and been pre-approved? If not yet, your realtor can set you in the right direction. You will be asked about your time frame. How soon do you need to buy? Do you have any contingencies, such as selling a home first? In most states, you will be asked about agency. Would you like to have buyer representation you in the transaction? Marcy Fedalei 864-316-2563 MarcyFedalei@charter.net www.BeautifulSpartanburg.com

The First Step to Buying a Home...

Marcy Fedalei (Keller Williams Realty) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 14:29:18 -0700

The first step to finding a home is to choose a caring and experienced realtor. You many interview as many as you want until you find the right one for you. A great realtor will listen to your wants and needs and then guide you seamlessly through the process from start to finish. You can expect bumps and obstacles along the way, and your realtor will help you through them. Marcy Fedalei 864-316-2563 MarcyFedalei@charter.net www.BeautifulSpartanburg.com

THE HOME BUYING PROCESS MADE EASY

Marcy Fedalei (Keller Williams Realty) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 13:38:09 -0700

Consult - What are your wants and needs?.What is your time frame? Any contingencies? Will you use cash or a loan? Decide on Agency.

Does Anyone Use a 30 Day Survey?

Marcy Fedalei (Keller Williams Realty) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 13:11:30 -0700

I am thinking of incorporating one into my listing program and am wondering if others have gotten good response and/or good results from using them. I would think that it would bring any issues of concern to my attention and remind clients that I want to provide the best service possible to them. I would love to hear other's experience with them.

Establishing Rapport in a Buyer Interview

Marcy Fedalei (Keller Williams Realty) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 12:51:08 -0700

What is in your Buyer Interview?

Marcy Fedalei (Keller Williams Realty) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 12:40:31 -0700

I like to cover specific areas. The order does not really matter as long as your cover all of them. Wants & Needs. What are your needs in a home? Beds, baths, garage, square footage, location, etc. etc. Qualification. What are you financially able to purchase? If financing, have you been pre-approved? Motivation. What is your time frame? Are you ready to buy? Do you have a contingency, such as selling a house. Agency. This a requirement in South Carolina.

Curious About Staging?

Marcy Fedalei (Keller Williams Realty) — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 00:16:41 -0700

So am I. Is it the latest trend or gimmick? Or does it really work? What does it involve and how much does it cost? So yesterday, I found a couple of general articles concerning staging, and would like to share them with you. Hope you enjoy them! http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/real_estate/article/0,3120,HGTV_27356_5846325,00.html http://www.usnews.com/articles/business/real-estate/2008/07/03/the-home-staging-cheat-sheet.html http://www.news.wra.org/story.asp?a=790 http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/05/22/earlyshow/contributors/raymartin/main4118192.shtml Marcy Fedalei 864-316-2563 www.BeautifulSpartanburg.com

Good Morning! It is afternoon.

Marcy Fedalei (Keller Williams Realty) — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 23:54:59 -0700

The morning is a fresh start, a new beginning. No matter what happened the day or days before, the morning is a chance to redeem, to re-think and re-design. If I wake up less than full speed from the day before - unfinished business or a less than ideal outcome lingering on my mind - I step back into a unrelated activity until it dissipates away - maybe reading, painting or intense exercise. All that is left is the present moment, a beginning of new day, no matter what time it really is, and chance to recreate my "day". And that is why yesterday evening when I answered the phone call from a prospective client, I inadvertently greeted him with Good Morning, Marcy speaking. Did I loose a client? Nah. It was instant rapport. Marcy Fedalei 864-316-2563 www.BeautifulSpartanburg.com

Does your profession control you?

Marcy Fedalei (Keller Williams Realty) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 22:18:48 -0700

Or do you control your profession? Staying on top of the real estate market takes time, work, and thought. Easily, I could spend every minute of free time improving my business. The sky is the limit, as they say, but is it the best way to live one's life? Am I short changing myself for missing my weekend blogging or taking an afternoon off to sit by the pool? What are your thoughts? Marcy Fedalei Keller Williams Spartanburg SC 864-316-2563 www.beautifulspartanburg.com
