Mark Druckmiller - Real Estate One, Customer Care

(Day 24 of "30 in 30" - only one more week!) Just something to keep you all amused when the news about home sales is bad, you've had some angry client calls, or you're through with beating your head against a desk because the appraiser is on vacation in South Wokkaville. It's been mentioned occas...

(Day 23 of "30 in 30") Just west of Saline-Ann Arbor road, in Lodi Township, a couple miles out are Corner Stone Acres, a full-service farm to ride, lease, or keep your horses.  Jerry Eaton owns and operates the farm and manages it full-time, 24 hours a day.  If you or any children you know want ...

(Day 22 of "30 in 30") Oh what now?  I just got an email from my local board of Realtors that the new Internet Explorer version is out, Version 9.  Why did that come up?  Well, mostly because there are going to be SOME foks out there that will try to use and play with the latest toys.  (The iPhon...

(Day 20 of the "30 in 30" challenge...) Just as I mentioned yesterday about rentals being in high demand in my area, sure enough, I walk into the office into a firestorm!  I get another young couple, looking to rent a house in the area, but this time, it's a little different. I ask them, "Well, w...

(Day 19 of the "30 in 30" challenge)   I'm happy to say that I have over a dozen prospects/clients/interested persons that I'm working with that are desperately wanting a rental home in Saline.  The PROBLEM is, though, that almost each and every one of them wants "a rental home in Saline for abou...

(Day 18 of "30 in 30" challenge) A long time ago, during the stone-age, when I bought my last home, I worked with an agent who obviously knew exactly where all of the homes for sale were in his town.  We looked at something like 16 homes in two days.  For the in town homes, we found them quickly,...

(Day 17 of the 30 in 30 challenge!) While I concentrate what's going on in real estate, now we take a left turn and talk about TOOLS we use, such as desktop computer, laptops, netbooks, smartphones, and other things like the iPad.  But first we'll specifically talk about the first "half", namely ...

(Day 16 of the "30 in 30" challenge)   Another case of what the public thinks and what do agents/brokers/Realtors think? Our local office set up our little booth at the local community fair, where all the local merchants and groups promote themselves.  I and an other agent, a gentleman with many ...

(Day 15 of "30 in 30" challenge) Williamsburg On The River(Map) I often get asked about where I live and the first thing I hear is, "Isn't it just NOTHING but FARMS???". No, not really.  I live out there and I'm not on a farm.  Actually there's some neat homes and some are quite nice if not perha...

(Day 14 of the "30 in 30" challenge) Boy, maybe I didn't include the "secret handshake" when asking about converting FSBO's yesterday.  Then again, it might have been the Labor Day weekend and not too many folks are looking to respond, or maybe a number of factors.  I did a little searching for o...
