realtor: Take Action: Verify Your Truth
- 08/18/20 06:24 AM
"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." ~ Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius Your action for today is to examine one of your strong opinions, and question if perhaps the facts that support it are not opinions themselves. Now, natural laws, math and science aside, it took me a while to agree with this quote, until I realized some of my strongest opinions were hand-me-downs opinions from my parents. In our pre-election, "mask debated-pandemic world", this quote seemed appropriate. Verify Your Truth. Design an Extraordinary Day! I post daily without fail, a quote & action step...

Local Economist Mr. Allan Nevin reports "WE ARE NOT IN A 1929 DEPRESSION" We are in a recession, one we were expecting for some time now, so no surprise here. My feelings are that we'll hardly notice the recession since we're all preoccupied with COVID-19 and the government, unlike any other recession, is providing relief loans /

How Realtors Can Fill Their Pipeline During COVID-19 BY SARAH LAYTON | COPYWRITER & INMAN STAR CONTRIBUTORPandemic or not, Sarah provides us with a great list I'd use as a Business Plan for success in 2020 and beyond. We have so much we can accomplish from our home offices while we shelter in place to "flatten the curve". I've actually been implementing many of these tips below for years, but never more so than the last 3 weeks. I woke up and realized I had neglected some of these fundamentals; a realization that has been making the last 3 weeks extremely busy playing catch up. Calling my

realtor: Keep Calm, Wash Your Hands: COVID-19 San Diego And California INFO
- 03/15/20 11:44 AM
COVID-19 San Diego And California As a business owner #SmallBusinessStrong, husband, father and good neighbor I'm staying positive, calm and keeping informed. The risk of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) for the general San Diego County population remains low. Take precautions, be safe and sane with common sense decisions. It's business as usual for me so far, in fact our real estate market is busier than 2017 when we had seemed to peak. This too shall pass (as did the previous 6 pandemics in the last 17 years). This too shall pass and then how will we remember our actions, behavior, competence

realtor: You Get the Talent That You Pay For!
- 10/10/19 11:00 AM
You Get the Talent That You Pay For! If my work looks easy or I get your home sold in hours not days or weeks, it’s because I’ve spent 21 years (so far) annually training and weekly working in the trenches to have that talent. You pay me for the knowledge, skills and years invested, not the time it took me to get your result. You Get the Talent That You Pay For. I Love this Parable, author unknown: A steam ship engine failed. The ship’s owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine. Then they

realtor: Summer Soldiers: The Reality of Discount Realty (Part 2)
- 08/05/18 11:42 AM
Continued From Part 1 What drives REALTORS® What this strategy does is allow REX to double-end or represent both sides of the deal, thus making the 2% they do charge, which is only .5% below the average commission these days paid. We’re seeing many 5.5% - 5% - 4% listings in our San Diego MLS. Again, the fee is negotiable, and I feel the fee offered reflects the skills set of the listing agent; with exception to military discounts, repeat client rewards, similar-etc. Regarding Buyers: You pay no fees typically with a buyer’s agent from any company as the buyers’ agents are paid by the

realtor: The Race To The Bottom: $99.00 Listings?
- 05/18/18 07:59 AM
Do you support an MLS that supports this? We're hired for the Big 3 Marketing Negotiating Problem Solving Sellers still need negotiators and problem solvers, but damn, why give away the MLS access and marketing? FSBO's have always been around and over 80% of them convert to a REALTOR® when they realize they have no clue what they are doing. FSBO's also leave an average of 13% of their potential capital gains on the table for lack of the BIG 3. Broker's that flat fee supports them have always been around too, but I do not understand why our MLS supports this practice? BUT THIS ISN'T ABOUT FOR SALE BY OWNERS! Think

realtor: I'm Certain There's Uncertainty!
- 04/25/18 05:14 PM
I got a kick out of this list, a list only a seasoned, quality agent could pen. We do see so much, we do know so much. But, we still have them days too. Always know your value, be able to communicate and never let anyone rob you of it. I think Liz and Bill Spear did a great job on this list, it's worth a read, I've read it twice it's so nice! Image courtesy of Stuart Miles at FreeDigitalPhotos.net The longer I'm in real estate the more certain I am about certain things. I'm certain there's a buyer for every home, no
