kerrville homes for sale: The Best Agents Attend
- 09/16/11 01:49 AM
Does your office have weekly sales meetings and weekly training meetings? We do.
I believe everyone should attend both and I encourage my agents not to miss the meetings. First of all, how will they know all the changes that take place during the week with the listings and sales if they do not attend the sales meetings? How will they further their knowledge of real estate if they do not continually learn and keep abreast of changes within the industry? Our training sessions provide for this type of training.
If I were wanting to sell my home, I would want … (8 comments)

kerrville homes for sale: Is Blogging For You or Your Clients?
- 07/16/11 04:27 AM
Is blogging for you or for your clients? That's a very good question.
Someone asked me recently about my blog and why I spent the time writing it. Instead of just answering off the cuff, I decided to really think about it. To analyze if this is a good way to spend my time.
The answer is YES!
Active Rain has been a super friend to me in many ways. The wonderful real estate agents and brokers that readily share their knowledge and expertise and support when you have a challenging situation makes it all worthwhile. To just know you are … (7 comments)

kerrville homes for sale: Fill the birdfeeders and advertise
- 07/14/11 05:23 AM
Put the bird food out and the birds will come.
That's what I've always heard and that is true. It may take a few days for them to show up. Maybe they want to fly by a few times before they land or maybe they want to watch for predators or tricks that could cause them trouble. Most birds will take a few days before they light on the feeder.
I just put up a new feeder and filled it with tempting seeds. It sat there without activity for a few days and I was beginning to wonder if there … (13 comments)

kerrville homes for sale: What's on Your Menu?
- 07/04/11 06:52 AM
My friend Lynn asked "What's on the Menu?" for today.
We are having Hotdogs grilled on the grill and covered with caramelized onions and sauerkraut with spicy brown mustard. A real taste treat if you like hotdogs.
If you don't, try one of the hamburgers topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and mayo. Some potato salad, baked beans, and watermelon round out the meal.
Don't forget homemade ice cream! Fortunately, my sister in law is making this and bringing it over.
Are we eating good? Oh yes! Then after a swim, we are off to see the fireworks display at … (15 comments)

kerrville homes for sale: She Keeps Everything! We're Moving Rocks!
- 06/26/11 06:11 AM
My brother made me laugh yesterday when he was helping me move. I overheard him tell my son, "She keeps everything! We're moving rocks!"
It was 100 degrees and the sun shining bright. Both of them were sweating profusely and smiling all the while. I have a great family that looks after me. Kudos, kiddos!
I have to say we were all laughing at some of the Stuff I've kept over the years. I've kept things for grandchildren that they will never really want. My son and daughter in law won't take hardly anything I've saved for them over time. What's … (14 comments)

kerrville homes for sale: I HAVE STUFF!
- 06/26/11 02:42 AM
When you are busy and have no time to move, like me...There are things that can happen, like my ankle.
Fortunately, it has been easier than I thought it would be. I have stayed on FOCUS. Pushing myself even when I did not feel like it I kept going. A good night's sleep and I was ready for another day. Packing, lifting, carrying, unpacking. When will it all end?
I have way too much STUFF!
Garage sales in the Fall are coming! I hate garage sales but I refuse to be controlled by sentiment any longer. I have STUFF from my … (58 comments)

kerrville homes for sale: What Are Your Dreams?
- 06/19/11 07:31 AM
What are your dreams? Have you taken the time recently to dream?
Many of us are so busy with a telephone in our ear and the computer at our fingertips, I wonder if we ever really take time to dream anymore.
Dreams are what fill us with hope. New ideas come when we rest our minds from the immediate and think about the what ifs. Time...something so simple but so fleeting. Don't use all your 24 hours in a day taking care of the have tos. Give yourself that sweet treat of indulgence; a moment to think, to dream.
Dreams, hopes, … (7 comments)

- 05/30/11 02:36 AM
Where Does Time Go?
It seems like it was just yesterday and you turn around and it's today. Turn around again and it's tomorrow and then it's next year. Do you feel like time is racing by these days? I do. I was remarking about this to a fellow agent one day recently and he told me his parents would get up early and go outside and sit on the porch in the mornings. He said he would get up, go outside and ask them "what are you doing?"
They would answer him with, "We're slowing down time." As a child, … (12 comments)

- 05/21/11 12:29 PM
Get on the Merry Go Round of Life!
Many of us are always trying to get off the Merry Go Round of Life. We want to take a different path. We are independent and we think out of the box.
We do not want to be like everyone else. We want our own way, we want to be different.
Does this sound like you?
Many REALTORS® are like this. We have that pioneering spirit, an entrepreneurial hunger that drives us. So why should we get on the Merry Go Round of Life? There are some beautiful things to see on that … (10 comments)

- 05/19/11 02:02 PM
Being in the right place at the right time.
Is it luck? Is it skill? Is it connections?
Why are some people just more successful than others?
I had an agent tell me today she got a really good lead from just being in the office at the right time. I am always telling my agents they need to be available. Many times, buyers and sellers are just looking for someone to help them. Being available is many times the most important thing.
Sure, knowledge is important and charisma, well maybe. But being available is the most important thing an … (13 comments)

kerrville homes for sale: Too Much to Do and Too Little Time
- 05/18/11 02:02 PM
I worked last night until 10 pm with buyers. We found the home of their dreams and went back to the office to write the contract. We gathered all the information. Wrote the offer after discussing financing options, strategizing the amount we should offer, studying the survey, deciding on the home warranty, the option period, the closing date and everything else.
We wrote the offer, printed and signed it, closed up and went home just in time for the news.
This morning was a run, run morning preparing food for two open houses for REALTORS®. We sponsored a broker open house … (9 comments)

kerrville homes for sale: It's Time for a Vacation!
- 05/15/11 05:13 PM
It's way past time for a vacation! For me, that is. I've been working way too much for way too long and it is beginning to show.
Some of my agents are already on vacation this month and others are leaving soon. I'm beginning to think it is almost my time too.
I love Mondays! I always say Mondays are a new week of opportunities just beginning. The excitement of Monday brings renewed energy after the weekend. Ready to finish up contracts, escrow them, contact people you've not been able to get hold of on the weekend and so much more … (9 comments)

kerrville homes for sale: Mother's Day gets Sweeter as Time Goes By
- 05/15/11 03:28 AM
Mother's Day is the biggest holiday in America for florists and other retailers like Hallmark. Mother's Day is important to every Mother out there. It is the day her children say "thank you" for giving your time, your energy, your patience, your very life for me.
Mother's Day is important to me as well. I had a great Mother's Day this year with my wonderful son who treated me to a fabulous brunch at the Windham Hotel in downtown San Antonio.
Yes, he is my pride and joy.
Like most Mothers who have grown children, I can't help but think about … (5 comments)

kerrville homes for sale: How Long Do You Spend Getting to Know Your Client?
- 05/11/11 03:40 PM
I take all the time I need to really get to know my clients. Sometimes that is a long time, multiple meetings before we look at property. Other times, it is an hour or two. Some people are easier to get to know than others. Some people automatically bond with you and othertimes they do not and you have to build trust and rapport over a period of time.
Some people have issues. Some people have complicated situations. Some people know what they want and some do not have a clue.
The important thing to remember is: Find out what their true … (6 comments)

kerrville homes for sale: How is your May?
- 05/10/11 03:59 PM
Ours is going great guns. Things have really picked up here in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. People are calling from Florida to California inquiring about individual properties and real estate in general.
People are walking through the doors without appointments wanting to see property. Our agents are trying to call back everyone who is requesting information. We are BUSY!
Is your office experiencing the same rush on property? We advertise a lot but we have been doing the same thing for some time. It really feels like things are picking up. We need more listings!
