realtor: There's a Lot of REALTORS out There!
- 03/30/16 05:25 AM
I read an interesting article in REALTOR MAG this morning. It wasn’t quite what I was thinking when I read the title, “Answer the Call” At first thought, I imagined it was another reminder to answer our phones, because lack of communication/availability can be a big turn off for our clients. But, no….this article was about engagement. I found it amazing that according to their statistics, one in every 220 adults is a REALTOR. WOW! That’s a lot of competition, and I went back to thinking the article was going to be about communication again. The article stressed the importance of working as a team. … (7 comments)
realtor: A Servant Leader - Moving the Emphasis from Sales to Service

A Servant Leader - Moving the Emphasis from Sales to Service Put plainly, a leader may simply be the “one on top”, the one who makes the rules that everyone else follows.

I was watching “floor” this morning at the Dove Mountain location for Long Realty (agents take turns covering the office in case there are walk in clients) and had a flashback I thought worthy enough to blog about.

That made me think back to when I was the Office Secretary for Luxemburg-Casco Middle School, in Casco, WI…about 30 minutes from Green Bay. My boss, the principal, did a lot of … (6 comments)
We were informed that there were multiple offers on the property, and I explained to my clients that we would most likely be verbally asked for a "highest and best" offer. My clients ended up being the best offer. Yesterday was the surprise. An email came through asking "If this doesn't appraise at [your] offer price will … (6 comments)
realtor: Can I Get Your Lock-Box Code?
- 11/04/10 04:13 AM
Can I Get Your Lock-Box Code? I was reading and commenting on blogs this morning when I ran across Hercel Spear's thought-provoking post about how you should run a small business. He mentioned lock boxes and keysafes and availability and it led me to leave a comment. The more I thought about it, the more I felt compelled to BLOG about it. Here's what happened:
I was meeting some investor-clients of mine from out-of-state at a new listing in town. When I arrived, there was another couple there who were also hoping to get into a bit of investing. … (11 comments)
