Social Networking: Are you connected?

Amazing isn't it? This Social Media wave has quickly turned into a tsunami...overtaking the Real Estate Industry. I had a friend who was a Real Estate Agent about 5 years ago. I remember when he started talking about his plan to use MySpace to sell real estate. He was speaking to people who had been in the business forever, hahaha...we laughed the poor guy out of the room! Keep in mind... at this time I had not even heard of Facebook. I shuttered to think that MySpace could be used to grow a Rea… Continue

Social Media.... can it effectively be used as a marketing resource? Should I sign up? Answers inside!

Absolutely, and Absolutely! No doubt, most of you have heard of MySpace and Facebook. For those that haven’t, they are essentially personal web pages where friends can exchange quips, photos and remain in contact without actually having human interaction. To fill the remaining gap in instant communication, Twitter can update your friends as to your every move. Surreal. Aside from creating an online posse of friends that you never really have to see, there are some real benefits to using these s… Continue

How to Get People to Refer You

One Of The Most Overlooked Ways To Get More Referrals.

Make it as easy as possible for more people to refer you by exposing more people to your referral plan. You do have a plan, don't you? If you want to get more referrals, tell people how to refer you. It's not as simple as saying, "If you know someone that wants to buy or sell, give them my card (unless it's your special referral business card)." Of course that's better than not saying anyth… Continue

The #1 Secret of Selling Isn’t a Secret

The #1 Secret of Selling -- It's really not a secret although most sales men and women act like they don't know about it. It's not only, not a secret, but you see it in action everyday. It works on you and me and 99% of the people we know. We just don't pay attention to it because, I don't know, we probably don't want to admit it's true. So what's this so-called secret? The answer is... You want to present whatever it is you're selling in a way that self-centeredly answers the question,… Continue

There has been much recent debate over what kind of recovery the US economy will see. The question is how will the economy recovery. In past the "V" shape method has held true. I have been through 4 economic downturns and I agree the "V" shape type recovery was always the way through. "V" shape simply means the economy falls and bottoms and rises upon the other side. One a recent trip to British Columbia as a guest of the Canadian Home Builders Association, I was treated to an audience with Bri… Continue
