The Great Social Media experiment is yet to be played out

As Realtors each one of us determines how we will market to buyers and sellers. There are as many styles as there are Realtors. One of the ideas that seems to have reached a flash point is marketing using different types of social media. It is true that the great social network marketing experiment and how it will be played out has yet to be determined. It seems to me that social networking is more inline with a type A personality. The question that comes to mind and that is asked is, is there a way to market without feeling like your privacy is being invaded? Is blogging, using facebook or doing tweets more your cup of tea. It can be difficult trying to stay up with the next social networking idea. It is best not to try to do everything everyday. The key is is do decide how much updating and stick to it. Just do a one or two contributions to your social network marketing plan each day. Key:Ask your self. Will this act directly lead to selling my listings or help me find a buyer?

What Type of Broker are you? Coach, Quarterback or Trainer

As a Real Estate Broker over the years, I have played alot of different roles. Sometimes I have played a coach helping agents in making a game plan. There have been times where I have led my team down the field of the sales process, calling plays and orchestrating the team's success. As a trainer I have trained young Realtors in skills such as time management, ABC's of closing, greetings, follow up and the basics of sales. As the Broker or Sales Manager, it is important to determine what role you need to play to ensure your company's success. We don't know if our team is going to win the super bowl of Real Estate. But, by knowing our strength's and weakness as Team leader it will help us determine our best management style. Then we can lead our team members through the season, maximize their personal potential and score more touchdowns (closings).

Five Reason's To Buy a New Home Now!

Five Reason's To Buy A New Home Now!

If you've been waiting for home prices or interest rates to fall further before you buy a home, it's time to rethink your strategy. If you act soon, you'll be able to take advantage of historically low prices and interest rates that won't be around forever. And if you're a first-time buyer and you act very SOON, you can still take advantage of the TAX CREDIT. Here are five reasons to take the plunge now.
1. You may get a fat tax credit.
The first-time homebuyer's tax credit is in most cases worth 10% of the home's purchase price..
2. Prices are scraping bottom.
It's hard to know whether prices are as low as they'll go, but the housing market is showing signs of life.
3. Foreclosures are at record highs.
Buyers think foreclosures are a great deal until they see them in person and realize that often, they need a lot of work.
4. Rates are cheap.
If there's a silver lining to the recession, it's that interest rates will stay low. If you can qualify for a mortgage on the home you want at today's rate, holding out for a slightly lower rate is probably a fool's errand. And, if inflation resurges, locking in today's interest rate (and mortgage payment) will look brilliant in hindsight.
5. Demand is growing
In some areas, competition for deals can be fierce. A good new home at a good price will get multiple offers and sell quickly. What's a good house? It's new, clean, it shows well, and it's in a good neighborhood in a good school district.
