Having a strong database has always been important, but maybe not as important as it is right now. With the real estate market essentially doing a 180 over the course of 7 months, shoring up those strong relationships is a must, but so is adding new people to grow your real estate database all [...]
In almost every major real estate market I know, the housing market is very hot with far more buyers than homes to sell them. This has my Realtor clients trying hard to generate more listings. A great way we are helping them achieve this result is by conducting virtual home selling seminars. In my [...]
New year new you right? Wrong. Most of the time people say they are going to implement and DO things, but in the end, it’s usually a continuation of what they were doing already. Normally this time of year the gyms are overflowing with people who make the decision to finally get in shape [...]
