video: Have you ever used Animaker? - 04/10/17 09:31 AM
Given the SEO benefits of videos, I was playing around with some animated video makers. I tried Moovly at first but it was so much more complicated than I felt ready for. Powtoon is cute. Then I stumbled upon Animaker.
It's simple to use and the free version provides enough clip art and flexibility to make it functional. I tooled around for an hour or so and came up with this.

video: Blooper Reel for Novice Video-bloggers - 03/07/16 07:39 AM
We launched ourselves into video this week, after about 2 years of saying "Next week" or "Soon." We've had some success, posting a few market reports that we're not displeased with.
Because it was our first attempt, we used a script. The first draft or two, Jean was the speaker, but then Wayne wanted to take a shot.
"Just change our names in the script," Jean told him.
Here's the script:
"Hi, my name is Jean Zuhl and I'm a Realtor with Hallmark Realtors. Together with my husband Wayne...."
And here's Wayne's first attempt.....
 
 
While this isn't technically a "blooper reel," we've found that you've got to find … (10 comments)

video: YouTube Thursdays - Introductory Videos 2015 - 07/30/15 05:55 AM
Debb James of Clark County, Washington, is an expert on videos and we've learned a tremendous amount from her. In this blog post from earlier today, she does a great job outlining what is necessary in an introductory video.
We're struggling with video. We have lots of excuses as to why we don't have great videos promoting our business, but I won't bore you with them (although some are really quite creative...). The truth is, we need advice from people like Debb to help us leap into this as yet barely uncharted territory for us.

video: What is a Short Sale? - 07/01/14 02:52 AM
A short sale is a home sale in which the home is financially distressed. The mortgage owed exceeds the market value of the home and we say that the home is "underwater" or "upside down." A short sale is NOT a foreclosure.
How does this happen?
First, a home is purchased in a high market, and especially when the home is purchased with a large percentage of the value being mortgaged. Imagine a $500,000 mortgage on a home you've purchased for $525,000.
Second, the home's value drops below the mortgage value. Imagine the $525,000 home's value dropping to $450,000 - certainly not … (20 comments)

video: PRIDE in Selling a Home - 09/29/13 09:11 AM
 
 
Once you've made the decision to sell your home, there are 5 steps you need to make before you put your home on the market.

Pick - Interview real estate agents. Most sellers hire the first agent they interview, while others continue looking. You want to choose an agent with a vibrant marketing plan that you trust.  Repair - Make any necessary repairs in your home before you list it! Things like leaky roofs, dead light bulbs, and broken windows need to be in working condition before you show your home. Improve - Depending on your time frame and budget, make home improvements that will increase the value of your … (3 comments)
