  I recently read an article that suggested this.  It lists several keywords to use when describing a listing and several words not to use.  It described how they effected the sales price and time.  So is this true?  I have no idea honestly, but some people do believe so.  It is the same idea as ...

   Ah, how nice.  It is Friday which means the weekend is here.  Oh wait, I have to work this weekend as well.  Hmmmm.  Most people may hate working the weekend and yes, I would rather be at home relaxing, but it isn't all bad.  I found some homes for my buyers in the MLS and Saturday is the only...

     Here I sit, wondering how many of you get leads off of your website.  All the signs seem to point to the internet as the place to advertise and get leads.  It is the easiest and cheapest way to reach almost everyone.  I just do not know how successful one can be at it.  I have read stories o...

   Zero.  That is the amount of people that came to my open house tomorrow.  I did all of the things to draw people to my open house, but apparently it wasn't enough.  I have seen lots of indicators that show the market is picking up, yet yesterday would make a person think otherwise.  This goes ...

    I have been hearing from different souces, builders, agents and lenders, that busy has been picking up for them in the past few weeks.  I was wondering if you had heard the same with the people you interact with on a daily basis.  At my office we have been having far more walk-ins and calls f...

     Any guesses on what the title eludes to?  The market of course.  I had someone ask me how I can be excited about working in a market that was so terrible.  Simple, I replied.  Things aren't as bad as you would think I told them.  Prices aren't that bad and the rates are awesome.  If you lose...

   I have noticed that in the past few months most of the Realtors in my office have not been here.  I understand things can be tough during Christmas break with having the kids at home, and the extra hours at daycare add up quick.  So maybe staying home to save some money is what some of them ha...

    I am curious if any of you advertise on Google at all?  I just recently started doing it.  I set a small budget for it so I can see if my money is well spent.  I have read a lot about online advertising and a bit on how to use certain "keywords" to make your advertisement appear more often.  ...

   As I start the new year I want to have an agressive, and cost effective, marketing campaign.  I am not sure which direction I will end up going so I thought I would ask for a little input from all of you.  What seems to work best for you and how much does it cost?  Thank you in advance for all...
