This was my first full week of posting, reading and commenting on blogs on ActiveRain in a few years. And it was interesting trying to find ten posts that were reasonably well written and interesting and appeared likely to have actually written by the blogger on the by-line. While I really wanted to include new-to-me bloggers, it became apparent that an awful lot of people, especially newbies, on this platform now outsource their blog writing or get a whole lot of help from AI. How can I tell?  I just can. At least most of the time, and with the professionally written posts.So here are the ones that made my favorites list, all I which I read, but were not necessarily written, last week:   Unveiling My Secret Journey: From Real Estate Success to Open Heart Surgery:  Greg Brown -  This cl...

 Many people believe that condominiums are only suitable for mature, retired buyers. However, this is not necessarily the case. While many retirees enjoy the convenience of full-service buildings with door attendants and 24-hour receptionists, young people can benefit from the same amenities. This got me thinking about the potential for young singles, married couples, roommates, and college students to own homes in a Baltimore condominium building. Investing in a condo is one way to enter this real estate market and build equity. While high condo fees may be a deterrent, they often include utilities and other services that make them more affordable than many single-family homes. Additionally, buying a condo is usually a more sound investment than renting and can provide equity for a fut...

As a real estate broker, I understand the significance of advertising in the industry. Our friend and mentor, Barbara Todaro, the marketing guru, shared and encouraged all of us, especially me. While the internet has revolutionized the way we market properties, traditional forms of advertising, such as print and radio, are still incredibly valuable. I always use a combination of advertising methods for my clients, including online and offline options. This allows me to reach many potential buyers and sellers, increasing their property's exposure.Advertising is crucial for reaching out to people who may not be as comfortable with technology. By placing ads in print media and airing them on my live radio show, I can target potential clients who may not be actively searching online.Propert...

We all miss Grant Schneider blogs everyday and this was one of his great blogs. Success in sales requires you to stay focused.  As you grow however you start  to have many balls in the air.  Suddenly sales is not all that you have to worry about.  Now you need a balanced approach to management in order to obtain great business results. Why? You need it because your team will have multiple goal categories, goals and action steps. The flawless execution of these action steps will result in a loyal customer base. The end result will be more sales and profits. But how do you keep it all on track? The Balanced Scorecard, in my opinion, is the best way to stay focused on all of the organization’s goals and keep your staff on track too. Very simply a balanced scorecard is an ideal form of perf...

On June 10, 2007, I came across ActiveRain doing a google search, joined and wrote my first post, and by late 2018, I found my way to the coveted Number 1 spot on the Leaderboard. The addiction was so strong that my broker had to step in with an intervention. So I went cold turkey, checking in every once in a while and writing an occasional post. But my efforts turned to a weekly post I emailed to my base, Monday Morning Coffee. It’s been a wonderful source for business and kept me writing about my favorite subject. Then, last week, Kathy Streib called me out of the blue, and it was like old home week. So I’m back, trying to pace myself and having some fun. But it’s really different this time around. This week, I tried to resurrect my old “Last Week’s Favorites”, where I had 10 posts th...

Zoom Call 4.02.24  Let's discuss the Truth About the NAR SettlementOur real estate business is under attack and there are feelings that the top of our pile is being less than responsible to the membership.Across the country, agency boards are attempting to keep the gang together and at the same time offer some Inteligent guidance so as to keep us in business and the wolves away from the doors.Those that were in attendance requested some anonymity, and the cross section were of well-established agents from across the country.The consensus was that there are very few truths available to us agents and no one really has a firm grasp of how the business is going to be processed going forward.Information was offered on the litigation as well as the most recent response from NAR.Settlement Fac...
