olympia real estate: I am buying right now! Why aren't you?
- 11/09/07 07:44 AM
THE SPIN IN YOUR MARKET SHOULD BE AS UPBEAT AS THIS PICTURE!! You should be writing tales of positivity. You should be bouncing off the walls like tigger!! Are people coming up to you asking you why you are so happy? THEY SHOULD BE.
Make em wonder - why is this person in real estate in such a horrible market happy? BECAUSE IT"S NOT HORRIBLE SILLY!!!
Are you buying homes for real? Yes I am, and right now is the perfect time to get moving.....remember the article that Tracy Thomas from Calabasas did? Pin The Tail On The Bottom Of The Market - pay … (6 comments)

olympia real estate: Positive Real Estate News
- 11/08/07 03:15 AM
I SAW A POSITIVE STORY ON THE FRONT OF BANKRATE.COM's WEBSITE!!!!!!! YES A POSITIVE ONE!!!!! AND YES IT WAS ABOUT REAL ESTATE!!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT???
I had to read it twice....but my previous blog - Is it turning? or do we just hope it is? has also received many positive comments from other industry professionals that have noticed the same thing!!
THE BOTTOM IS COMING.......and when it turns it may trend upward quicker than expected. Those that get in early will stand to make the most. The article on bankrate stated that new home sales are actually up from last month, albeit slightly, even though … (7 comments)

olympia real estate: Is it turning? or do we just hope it is?
- 11/07/07 03:25 AM
Recently I've noticed a change in the blog mentality here on activerain as well as other sites. Many of the mortgage brokers are starting to see stated income products coming back online as well as other "responsible" options that were temporarily unavailable.
The inventory numbers seem to be changing nationwide - not certain if they are being sold or if sellers are pulling their listings in favor of renting. Either way as the inventory normalizes or reaches lower levels the bottom of the market is eminent. Will it be tomorrow? UNLIKELY, but it is changing.
Get your buyers and investors ready. Things will … (15 comments)

olympia real estate: Why Blog? Do you do it for you?
- 11/06/07 01:58 AM
I recently read an article that stated most agents blog to market themselves within their local market. So why do we blog on a social networking site that gives us points?
Do the agents with more points get more marketing time?
YES!!!!
This is likely something everyone here has thought about but the more blogs you have the more chances you have to be caught in a search engine. The more social networks you have the more likely you are to get referrals. The more respect you might have in a community could lead to further business as you have blogged about the state … (14 comments)

olympia real estate: How to receive 6000 points without blogging for 3 weeks!!
- 11/05/07 01:51 AM
shh!!! This is the secret that the rest of active rain doesn't want you to know.....they award points completely different than most people think....25 pts for comments sure, but did you know that you can get 6000 points without even trying?
It's very simple, but you've got to do it exactly the same way everytime otherwise it won't work!! What they don't tell you is that instead of writing 10 blogs a week for 3 weeks to get your points you can do it another way....one that very few people are taking advantage of.
INVITE YOUR FRIENDS!!!!!!!!
Every little invitation can get you more … (12 comments)

olympia real estate: Will your shopping mall be next?
- 11/03/07 04:58 AM
Are your big box and power center retailers going out of business? Would you live above your local grocery store? Are you a mixed use proponent? WHAT IS MIXED USE and WHO KEEPS ON MIXING IT?
As you drive through your market you have begun to see many mixed use examples, but what are they? They seem to be popping up in urban as well as suburban areas and succeeding according to the International Council of Shopping Centers. BUT WHAT IS IT?
The term refers to developments that combine elements of residential, retail, office and entertainment. These projects are often advertised as the … (0 comments)

olympia real estate: Multiple Property Exchanges in a 1031
- 11/01/07 05:47 AM
Often times our investors come to us with questions about how to identify, how many they can identify and how many they can exchange when dealing with a 1031. Based on the IRS code here are some of those answers in short form.
Is there a limit to number of properties that are identified in the 45-day period?
You can identify more than one property as a potential replacement property, but be mindful of the rules. You can identify up to three properties without regard to fair market value. Or, you may identify any number of properties provided that the total value does not exceed … (1 comments)

olympia real estate: Making a Change
- 10/31/07 03:25 AM
Today I realized that I have been stagnant for almost a month maybe even longer. I have been in a rut and either I haven't noticed it or I'm complacent to be there.
I haven't been marketing myself with the methods that I know succeed......I've been lazy, posting blogs and writing comments when I could be shaking hands and meeting new clients. Activerain has helped me get some potential clients but not anything that I can count on as "guaranteed" paychecks.
Now this guy is happy....I'll bet he's not in a rut. No matter how successful you can be or are one realization … (4 comments)
