I met a Limousine Manager & Chauffeur the other day, somehow the conversation drifted to Tipping.  He said ‘....you know, there are Tippers, who tip, it is in their DNA, and then there are those who do not...' He said he gives the best service to both and keeps trying to have the ‘non-tipper' to reach into his pocket and tip. I started pondering this statement. How true. This made me wonder about Successful People Giving Back. Is it in their DNA to give back as well as the Tippers? What about the average Americans, who give their valuable time and volunteer to various Causes, is it in their DNA as well? We hear about the Celebrities that use their Publicists to brag as a ‘Self Promotion' to let the world know that they have given back to society. Their Donations do not even max out what...

There are strategic steps to being great at prospecting.  I have capsulated these in what are called the seven F-words of prospecting. The 1st step is to Find:  We have to find a place to do the prospecting.  Finding a place is one of the biggest challenges in prospecting.  This place has to be quiet with minimum distractions.  We need to have an environment that is controlled for the prospecting to happen. We also must find a time to prospect.  Most Agents try to fit their prospecting around their day, rather than fit their day around their prospecting.  Those who have no set time for prospecting do not do it.  Going to the same place at the same time helps to form the habit.  Prospecting is about discipline and habit.  The habit and discipline make up for the lack of skill. The 2nd St...

Ever walked into a property and been overwhelmed by the smell of cat urine, wet dog or last night's salmon dinner? As someone who's been in literally hundreds of homes in the course of my career as a Los Angeles home Stager, I can say I've probably smelled it all! You smell it. I smell it. And yet the seller doesn't notice a thing. How can you as the Realtor talk to him about the need to deodorize without offending? Here are a couple of tips: 1. Blame it on allergies Millions of people are affected by pet allergies. Present it to your client like this... "Even though you and I may not smell anything, someone who is allergic to cats/dogs/birds (you fill in the blank) might have a reaction to even the slightest odor. Since we don't want to turn off any potential buyers we should probably ...

by Danny Mahelka Even on Sesame Street they teach the importance of knowing the people in your neighborhood.  Sometimes when you are moving it's hard to get a really good appreciation for the make-up of a neighborhood.  That's when having a neighborhood specialist comes in handy. I'm not just a realtor who specializes in the Carthay Circle area.  I'm one of the people in the neighborhood.  If someone wants to know about Carthay Circle Elementary, I don't have to Google them - I already know that they are one of the finest schools available.  I know this because I am a long standing supporter of the school and because I am an active and caring member of the community that I live in. Buying or selling a home can be a stress ridden time; I consider everyone of my clients a neighbor or a po...

Home sales during the fall are traditionally a bit slower than the frenzied spring and summer months. But can be a good time to sell because there are usually fewer homes on the market-meaning less competition for you! Buyers are usually in a rush to get settled in before the holidays. If you plan on selling this fall, you will want to do everything in your power to attract home buyers. One of the first things you should do is hire a home inspector. I have a list of many local ones that I have found very helpful. Once you have all the structural systems repaired or given the thumbs up you should then start on the appearance of your home. Curb appeal. Do people slow down to look at your home as they drive by? Does it look like it is well maintained and has character? Make sure the roof i...
