new jersey real estate: VIP Open House Idea - 04/17/11 12:16 PM
This is an older post I put up 3 years ago but I think it's still a good tip..I haven't done a neighborhood VIP open house is a while. Time to take my own advice :)
After responding to a blog request for different ways to promote listings I thought I might go ahead and post my response as a blog.
I really like to do a V.I.P Neighbors Only Open House.
 I do it the evening before the 1st public open house, it makes them feel special, shows that you care about the neighborhood and it stops all the nosy neighbors … (4 comments)

new jersey real estate: Branchburg Police Crack Down on Cellphones and Driving - 03/27/11 04:24 AM
As a Realtor, My phone is practically sergically sewn to my body. Pretty sad actually butin  a world that has no patience for anything less then instant, it's either be avialble or risk losing clients.  While looking for a new car my must have was Bluetooth connection and navigation. These two items are worth their weight in gold.  I personally have lost my tolerance for people holding their cell phones, talking and texting and I'm glad to see that Branchburg may be a safer place to drive very soon.

new jersey real estate: A Boy, A Fence, Some Nails and a lesson - 03/10/11 03:32 PM
 I have always loved this analogy.  It crossed my path  again tonight and I decided to share it..

 
                    There once was a little boy who had a bad temper.  His                    Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every                   time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the                                      back of the fence.            … (9 comments)

new jersey real estate: NJ Feed Lot..Horses In The Kill Pen..Please HELP - 03/07/11 01:01 PM
I have to admit I was a bit shocked to learn of the feed lot located in Southern NJ where so many horses that have much more to give are sent to auction and most purchased by kill buyers to round up and ship to Canada or Mexico for slaughter.  The meat of these horses is then shipped to Europe where horse meat from the US is considered a delicacy.  This is not a plea for people to stop eating horse meat, because when it comes down to eat I suppose meat is meat.
This blog is a plea for help, … (4 comments)

new jersey real estate: The Fall Of The Foreclosure King - 02/06/11 06:47 AM
I am posting an article from the Associated Press because it really hits home on the current Real Estate Market and should open the eyes of many professionals that are working hard in these unique times.  As a Realtor who's main business comes from bank owned listings I am often in a moral struggle.  I hear about foreclosure rates increasing, huge amounts of shadow inventory and a supply that will last us 5+ years...part of me cringes with the horrific news and alarming stats, however, (I almost hate to admit it), part of me thinks....job security.
