Friends and Clients —   November is already here, and soon we will be dipping into winter. Most folks think that's a slow part of the year for real estate. But winter can actually be a great time to sell your home for two reasons. Reason No. 1 is that there is less competition.  Fewer homes are listed in winter than in spring (38% more listings) and summer (13% more listings). That's part of the reason why winter has the reputation of being a sleepy season for real estate. However, the lower number of homes on the market also means it's easier to attract the attention of buyers. It's simply the law of supply and demand. Speaking of which... Reason No. 2 is that buyers in the winter have more urgency. Yes, fewer buyers look at homes in the winter months, but for various reasons, winter ...

One of the greatest joys about working in Real Estate is the connection you make not only to clients but also to vendors that you come to know, trust, and rely on. We have been very lucky to have in our sphere of influence a group of fantastic vendors that have become integral parts of our team.Lenders, stagers, movers, electricians, painters, roofers, cleaners, flooring installers—every part of the listing process requires a wide circle of people. When you find people to fill those roles, it is the beginning of a great relationship. It is a great feeling to send your trusted vendors into your client’s homes and feel complete confidence in their abilities. It is amazing to have people apart of your team that have equal parts intelligence, friendly bedside manner, and honesty.Our number ...

When we first opened Joy Daniels Real Estate Group 8 years ago, we invested a lot of time and attention into our branding and marketing. This included photos of myself and the team. I have relied on those initial photos for years until early 2018, we decided to refresh our signage which meant new photos. So my "old" photo is from the spring of this year.   And funny story – I was not able to style my hair due to a recent injury and my husband actually styled my hair that day!  Our marketing is so important we want to be different, so we have come to recognize the importance of Celebrity Endorsement.  So for my new photo I chose a candid shot from this past week when I filmed a commercial with Barbara Corcoran. It was a fun day spent in a studio in NYC which is quite the change from my n...

When you have been in business for as long as I have (30 years!) you tend to have a lot people (family, friends, former clients) asking you to help them find a real estate agent in the area where they have planned to move or where they have friends or family living that need to sell a home so they can make a move.  Honestly it is a small task for a nice referral payment.  Or is it?  It may be small, but it is VERY important.  I feel like my reputation is on the line when I give a referral, so it is my responsbility to choose carefully. I will not refer an agent that does not have stamp of approval!  We keep a record of referrals that we have made with comments on how they reactions of how things went from both the person who was given the referral and the agent who accepted the referral...
