Fellow American Realtors.
I got back into SEO after a long vacation. I lost a listing to the "where do you rank on the page client". I did not make the grade so to speak. I am on my second of 5 books. I would guess all 5 have a chapter on Social Marketing. I find it interesting that the internet could be construed as about "relationships". In our quest for business, have we lost sight of our need to be informed and correct? It seems we are concerned more about those spiders, point scores, and contribution rankings, than we are about doing our jobs. If your business model is based purely self promotion, I am fine with that, America is the Marketing Mecca of the world. Have some self control, you don't have to comment on everything.
Trulia, last week. One side of the story, sellers; seller and buyer could not resolve inspection contingency issues. Buyer refused to sign PA cancellation. Seller wants to know what to do. Sixteen answers given, 2 from me, first not totally correct. The score; 1 incorrect, 7 see an attorney or broker, 6 lip service(did not know answer), 2 correct(1 my second post). 1 out of 16 knew the answer. Half were from out of state and had no business answering.
Real Estate usually is about location, I interject this. The Six Sigma of Real Estate is 90%, there is no way we will be 100% correct on all RE issues. There are 50 states, 40+ are covered under Agency Laws, Each state practices Real Estate differently. Unless you are licensed in that state, you might be breaking law, or giving out bad information. You have State Statutes, Case Law, Court Decisions. and local practice. When you engage an attorney, they investigate, interview, research the issue and then get two sides of the story(interrogatories). They know there are a lot of issues to be covered.
When in Rome, Rome's Statues apply.
In Minnesota,APPARENTLY, when one party refuses to sign a PA cancellation, a Declaratory cancellation must be signed and SERVED(legal procedure). It can be with out recourse, or with, 2 types. There is a 15 day waiting period on both. The other party can get a court order, injunction, on the without. If you get to that level of confrontation, you do not want to make any procedural mistakes. You need someone who knows exactly what to do.
