professionals: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT (about)
- 11/23/21 05:36 AM
First and most importantly, commerce-driven anything is a people business. If you choose to believe, everything & everybody is really in the people business but practicing in the chosen field. To be even more clear, I am in the people business practicing Real Estate. What drives this? The simple proven rule of marketing (and human nature): People buy from people first then the product or service
PRODUCT & SERVICES first?
Now to be fair, in todays society, people do buy products and services first and then may or may not experience a person. Sometimes it doesn't matter who the person is as long … (1 comments)

professionals: AGENT ON BOARD or BORED?
- 12/23/19 06:50 AM
I have come across many a player in the Real Estate business allowing me to further educate myself in understanding the nuances and the obvious behaviors in regards to selling, buying, investing and renting Real Estate. Time and experience will teach where exams, quizzes, continuing credits do not. When one gets licensed it is the beginning of really knowing what is going on and why. A license to practice is like an admission ticket to an expensive not to be done over event
NO DISRESPECT TO THE NEW-BY
In any chosen field, if practiced for any length of time and of course in the real and applicable … (10 comments)

professionals: THE PUBLIC AT LARGE DOES NOT KNOW
- 02/09/19 08:05 AM
Agents, family, friends and people at large are all aware in general about various subjects but does that mean they know what they are talking about? This question applies to all careers, practices and endeavors one can pursue. I know a little bit about everything as my seeking and wanting to know ability runs at optimum however does that make me a master of the subjects or the products for that matter?

You never know what the day might bring except to get-up every morning and be ready to meet and greet it. Be careful not to fall into complacency or routine. Why? Be aware of the obvious i.e. no two days are alike making you sit-up and at the least show the principle some respect. Then, your day may summon you for extra-ordinary service

professionals: FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
- 05/11/17 02:09 PM
It is not just a deliberate error on the persons part for an array of reasons for failing to do what was told or expected but also very revealing to the person as to why they did or did not follow instructions. Instructions are the sure thing key that will open the "targeted" door guaranteed. Why wouldn't someone follow them and finish what was started?

professionals: AN AGENT HAS TO CLOSE
- 12/06/16 07:59 AM
What is the point of having a Real Estate agent if that agent does not make a difference? Let's back up a bit. A principal like a seller, investor or buyer wakes up one day and wants to enter into the Real Estate fields i.e. do some business. In the majority and high percentile of cases, that means calling an agent to hit the ground running & gets things going!
AGENT ACTIVATION
There has to be and most certainly is a big difference between an agent ramping up to do business and an layman or FSBO. When hiring an agent, a series of mandatory events … (7 comments)

professionals: WENT WITH ANOTHER REALTOR?
- 08/15/16 12:25 AM
So how is everything going I asked my neighbor, who I have known for 8 years why is he selling his home. I got over the shock of seeing a For Sale sign on his front lawn one day and wondering why he didn't contact me? My wife, using her intuition said he probably owed a favor or had a friend and was obligated. After 30 days went by, I ran into my neighbor and we talked
SAD BUT TRUE
The main fact was that over the years, his income was declining until it reached the point where they started to struggle financially. Several weeks prior … (106 comments)

professionals: RETURN OF THE CONSULTATION
- 06/27/16 11:51 PM
With the Internet helping out and commenting on every subject imaginable, the random opinion levels for everything by everybody will rise with it. It is a self-educating system that works via a beck and call system which exceeds studying, enrolling or structure of any kind. If one wakes up and wants to know something, GOOGLE it and the education begins
SHOW ME or TEACH ME
Now lets be frank and succinct here. Not everyone who is given tools know how to use them. Not only is further explanation necessary for the majority but also how to learning experiences as well as demonstrations which lead to practice makes perfect will … (7 comments)

professionals: SIMPLE IS AS SIMPLE DOES
- 02/05/16 11:28 PM
When you say yes or no to something, that is as succinct and clear as one can be when called upon to do so. Granted, there are times when furthermore is required, but then, we wont know that until that moment. Its trying to include it when it is not necessary that bogs it all down. Spontaneity is to be relished and appreciated
OH THAT...
How many times have you heard something said or presented where you don't have a clue as to what it means? Then, the very next step is to inquire and when you find out that it was a simple point, you wonder … (4 comments)

The salt of the earth, the average homeowner that is or will be think and act differently then the ones that deal daily in this for one obvious reason. They don't know what professionals in the business know but they have an awareness to differing degrees as it suits them and from their point of view. I listened in...

professionals: DONT MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT
- 12/27/15 10:55 PM
Real Estate is a big deal on its own. So is buying a car, a room full of furniture, remodeling or buying appliances etc. Anywhere where big money is about to be spent, it is wise to give full attention to the deed and make sure that this is what you or the person wants and then to go about realizing that want. These ventures come with their own set of dynamics. Don't add to them but instead, unravel them

- 10/02/15 12:15 AM
Whatever profession, service or position one finds themselves in for the first time professionally or personally, at some point, you are going to be challenged, approached for dialog, hailed, made conversation with or simply asked a question. It is at that time, the curtain goes up, and the star of the show enters on stage.
YOU'RE ON!

professionals: STAY WITH WHAT YOU KNOW
- 09/30/15 12:07 AM
Everyone in a while, I like to come out and risk a little. However, these days, I do it for fun mostly. But, there was a time I did it because you think you can do anything and that thinking is right but not accurate. You see, everything has a learning curve to it and no matter who you are, that curve requires and demands some respect. No shortcuts are allowed but sometimes given

- 09/04/15 12:17 AM
There is so much data in regards to Real Estate, from the local neighborhood, County, and then the State to the Country and then including the entire globe itself. You may access just about any place in the world from your computer including pictures and data plus weather and demographics too. Real Estate at your finger tips. Ah, but it involves your pocketbook too!

professionals: THE AGENT THAT DOESN'T KNOW
- 05/27/15 07:21 AM
The good news? They are doing us all a favor. How? The ones that do know a thing or two shine in their presence or in their wake. The ignorant or passing through agent makes the career minded professional stand-out providing a contrast not only the consumer but for the industry as well. The uncommitted haunt us all
THE BALANCE
The bad news is that many consumers will not get the services they are entitled too and wont even know about those services but form an opinion claiming all agents fail and they can do better. I wont argue either point, but I know of people … (2 comments)

professionals: THE DAY OF THE LOOKY LOO OVER?
- 12/29/14 10:41 PM
Does anyone allow anyone to just come over and view a home for sale anymore? The answer is YES if it is an open house. All are welcomed. However, other than that, isn't the market today based more on performance rather than possibility of sale? I believe so. Can you perform invites transparency of motive
LOOKY LOO?
Why would someone just want to view property and not buy? Real Estate goes in cycles and I remember when it was a buyers market, sellers and their agents danced to the buyer's (real or not) tune whatever it was. Today, it is more of a seller market dynamic and … (6 comments)

professionals: WHY DID THE REAL ESTATE AGENT CROSS THE ROAD
- 10/12/14 08:49 AM
To get the clients signature? How about to view the property? Meet the appraiser? Do a walk through? Give a closing gift? Place or remove a sign? Take pictures? Help someone move? The Real Estate agent is always on the move (pun) because the business we are in requires it. Real Estate just stays where it is until....

professionals: IS THERE A REAL ESTATE AGENT IN THE HOUSE!

A doctor goes to the movies. He is ready to enjoy the show when someone faints, falls over or lets out a scream or a yell. Then, someone says...Is there a doctor in the house? The rest you know. A path is cleared, the doctor is let through and the treatment begins. A doctor is never off he is just out of the office right now
