So, Mazziotti found a bank owned house to use for his event. Next he brought togetherevent sponsors like a local internet providor,Bend Broadband; a local mattressmanufacturer, … (1 comments)

exit realty bend: This Open House Will Bring Over 2000 People Through Your Door!
- 03/30/09 08:08 PM
I was inspired, its that simple. So I followed my gut on this one. On January 23rd I was surfing the net, as I often do on weekends. I found Ustream.tv....and the rest....well, you get the drift. So here is this guy from Vancouver B.C. doing this 72 Hour Open House. Interesting idea. Mostly alone, Kye Grace, performed his open house for 72 continuous hours. He ate, slept and greeted visitors who stopped by his open. This was different because he had visitors walk through the house, as ordinary open house visitors often do.....and he greeted them LIVE on the Internet … (3 comments)

- 02/27/09 10:41 AM
Houdini strapped himself into a straightjacket and hung upside down off the roof of a building where 50,000 people watched him escape is 1916. People have been rolling over Niagara Falls in barrels for decades, walking across tightropes between buildings for years and celebreties like David Cooperfield have summoned the attention of millions by performing spectacular illusions that overwhelmed, stunned and entertained. Jim Mazziotti, the principal broker and franchise owner of EXIT Realty Bend, located in beautiful Bend, Oregon, has done none of the above. Although he works to dazzle his clients with customer service and creative marketing techniques to get their homes sold, he is far … (3 comments)

- 08/23/08 05:44 PM
The Story of Kalat This picture of the statue below was made by an Iraqi artist named Kalat, who for years was forced by Saddam Hussein to make the many hundreds of bronze busts of Saddam that dotted Baghdad. This artist was so grateful that the Americans liberated his country, he melted 3 of the fallen Saddam heads and made a memorial statue dedicated to the American soldiers and their fallen comrades. Kalat worked on this night and day for several months. To the left of the kneeling soldier is a small Iraqi girl giving the soldier comfort as he … (10 comments)
I recently took a few minutes to read through a recent National Association of Realtors comparison study of residential real estate franchises. The numbers were a bit surprising, although I had a feeling of what is happening in the real estate business and the growth of franchises in America. You see, I am a franchise owner and principal broker of EXIT REALTY BEND, located in Bend, Oregon. My company opened just 21 months ago. Perhaps like you, I had the option to open an independent office or choose any one of some two dozen real … (6 comments)

Hello ACTIVE RAIN! I am hoping you can help answer an office question. Our office is doing more and more BANK OWNED property listing as sales. In fact, most of our real estate business here in Central Oregon is coming from BANK OWNED propeties. We work with a number of default companies from various states around the country. We are in Oregon. I know California has specific regulations....but I know nothing about any Oregon law. How does this work in your state? Do you know of any forms that are required for this? My question is "what is our responsibility … (1 comments)
exit realty bend: AR POLL - Is Your Real Estate Sign Invisable?
- 06/04/08 04:39 AM

That's about 3300 listings.....and MOST have signs in front or on the property somewhere. Would you agree that that is a lot of SIGNS? When you drive around the Bend community you will see, like many … (8 comments)

- 05/31/08 05:36 PM
There is little question, in my mind anyway, that it will be vital for most of us in the real estate business to be ready to tackle the business of SHORT SALES and REO LISTINGS soon. I understand that there are many who have already placed themselves in an excellent position to lead the way in a new and profitable way for real estate agents to stay in the business...and I am ready to do what it takes to get busy. Here in Bend, Oregon, we are just now beginning to see both short sales and REO listings increase in the … (15 comments)

So...what would you do? I just have to know. Here is the story line. One day a Realtor named Matt showed a property to his Buyer. It just so happens that during the showing the Seller was on the property and overheard the enthusiasm the potential Buyer seemed to have. The Seller did stay out of the way and allowed the Buyers Agent and Buyer take their time. After 30 minutes or so the Buyers Agent and the Buyer got in their car and left. The Seller was hopeful that an offer would be forthcoming. The next day the Seller called his Listing Agent and … (5 comments)

- 11/07/07 04:54 PM
A STRATEGY THAT'll SMOKE EM' There are several prospecting ideas that I teach my agents at EXIT REALTY BEND in Bend, Oregon. One strategy that has the potential to generate instant success is a time-tested prospecting plan I call "The 14+14+28 Strategy." I wish the concept was my creation...but I can't take credit for it. The plan has incredible potential to land listings in any neighborhood. Here is how it can work: First thing in the morning go to your MLS site and look for the newest listing's in various neighborhoods. The listing can be a listing of any company, it doesn't matter. Pick a … (2 comments)
