Real Estate Sales and Marketing

In today’s challenging economic climate, it is more and more important than ever that we cultivate relationships with our prospects, customers, and resources. People do business with people they know, like, and trust AND who by their actions show that they are there to help. One easy and cost-effective way to do this is to make sending business thank-you notes a part of your daily plan of action.Every day we are bombarded with bad economic news, making it easy to bury your head in the sand. This is a big mistake. When times are tough it's more important to stay in touch with your customer and prospects, without bombarding them with marketing messages. This is the time to stand above the crowd by using the power of recognition, appreciation, and gratitude. Do something every day to make ... 08/27/2023

Fears of "higher for longer" interest rates helped send average 30-yr mortgage rates to a new, two-decade high of 7.49%.  There are still a variety of products that might help bridge the gap that exists today with the higher interest rates.     We do need to shop around for the best deal which is the deal that suites your needs.     New home sales are holding up, but existing home sales have been fading on both affordability and availability issues.     Builders can afford to absorb these expenses short term but can it last? 08/26/2023

What Is Happening?There is a line from a Beastie Boys song of the “Licensed to Ill” album (almost 40 years ago-crazy!) that has always stuck in my head, it goes, “Somethings going on and I’ll probably never get it.” I feel like that right now…..Five (5) months ago when Silicon Valley Bank went down I got on the phone with all the banks in Georgia and asked them how they were doing. To a man or woman they all claimed they were strong and lending and I what I saw with my eyes confirmed it-I was getting deals done with local banks. Since then, stocks have rallied, inflation, (as the Government tracks it), has come down, hiring remains strong and the number of forecasters predicting a recession is quickly disappearing. YET, despite all this good news, these same banks have pulled in the rei... 08/25/2023

Just like our waffle friend, I'm on a mission to find you a property that's "batter" than the rest!  I got into the real estate business because I love the business.  I like meeting people and I like helping people.  I have been very fortunate and I have come from a newly licensed agent to managing a medium size business that is right sized for my current situation in life.  I never wanted to grow my business,  I have passed that stage in my life and I am very happy helping buyers, sellers and other agents with their lives and businesses. Let's team up and make your homebuying journey as delightful and satisfying as your favorite breakfast treat.Message me today and let's turn those property dreams into reality!#thehelpfulagent #home #houseexpert #huse #listreports #homeowner #happyhome... 08/24/2023

Every now and then I get a call from an agent who knows they need a bio, but they want to know more before they hire me to write it for them. One of the big questions is "How do you determine what to say when you write an agent bio?" In answer to that, I explain that I try to strike a balance between personal and professional while revealing what is unique about that individual.My goal is to let readers know that the agent has the professionalism, skill,  knowledge, desire, etc. to serve them well - while also providing insight into who they are as a person. Here are 5 examples of what I think of as "fails" when it comes to how some agents choose to write their bios:  Some use only dry facts that include schooling, designations, and the territory where they work. (These look more like a... 08/23/2023
