We all deal with internet leads.  Some more so than others.  Some of us actually pay (hello?!) for internet leads, some of us arrange our own websites designed to capture internet leads, and others just get some from our existing marketing channels. Whatever the number of internet leads you get, there is a key to conversion:  KNOW YOUR STUFF, and don't show all your panties at once! I'll explain what I mean by that. You may get some internet leads that will provide you with either an email address, a phone number, or both.  Most of the time it's just an email address. But in either case, here is what I recommend as I have been dealing with internet leads for quite a few years and have found what not only creates the highest percentage of responses, but what eliminates any waste of time ... 08/31/2010

Welcome to my weekly post: "Not that I would actually do it, but...........

Existing home sales posted the largest decline nationwide, down 27.2% from June and 25.5% from same period last year.  This is the lowest level in 15 years and to further add salt to the wound housing supplies went from 8.9 months to 12.5 months, the worst reading in 11 years. What is very interesting and points to some strength is that median prices  were only down .2%  from June and .7%($182,600) from last year.  The reality is that with increased inventories and more short sales and foreclosures on the way, there will be pricing pressure in the months to come. The carnage was felt across the country and very telling are the figures that foreclosures represented 22% of sales, while short sales made up another 10%.  Distressed sales will continue to plague homeowners that are hoping to... 08/24/2010

A Man and his Dog........... I found Scooter at the Burbank Animal Shelter about 4 years ago.  I guess I was looking for a little something in my life that perhaps I was missing, so I found myself visiting the shelter every couple of weeks. Anyway, on one of those visits I was walking the rows of cages and saw him there.  On the card it stated his name given to him by the shelter was "Oliver".  I immediately thought of Oliver Twist, the lonely orphaned child (which I played the lead in many years ago in my teens in the musical "Oliver") I immediately stopped and made eye contact with him.  He was wearing the world's ugliest sweater at the time and it was obvious he wasn't too happy about it.  I mean C'mon, how would you feel if you were forced to wear something amongst your peers that w... 08/21/2010
