I Love My Fellow Realtor, Despite Public Opinion!

To the contrary, I salute my competition. Without them, I would not be as motivated to get out of bed in the morning and excel. Without them I probably would not work as hard to be the best. Without them, it would be a much easier ride but certainly less enjoyable. Most of my competitor’s are really nice agents that do a nice job. Otherwise, we would not continue to compete against one another for almost 20 years now.

Sellers, USE A LOCKBOX if You Want To Sell

How about this, your buyer is behind schedule (sound familiar Realtors?). Now this other agent is blowing up my phone asking “where are you? You said between 1 and 1:30, I have another showing after this.” Now the buyer shows up and they have 100% attitude and rush the buyer out. Maybe the buyer liked the house, but now he is mad at the other agent and the innocent Seller, who was miss-advised by the listing agent is the victim.

Lazy, Lazy, Lazy

That is what I love about EXIT Realty. The training that is avalable to new, experienced and top producing agents. I have learned more in the past 5 months that I did in the past 5 years! EXIT is a great place to start, establish and finish your career. By the way, the retirement is nice two. for more information on EXIT go to http://www.headofrealestate.com

Transaction Broker Notice

Note to Florida lawmakers: The average layman does not understand that they are now being represented by the agents they hire! They are assuming that they are paying that agent a 6% or 7% commission and that they ARE being represented by that firm

Florida Market On Fast Rebound

A new report that came out this week that said Florida CONDOS were on the rise!  This is the last leg of the recovery process.  Yes, yes, I know that the foreclosures are still flowing and that many more are set to hit the market in 2010 and 2011, however PEOPLE ARE BUYING again.  Despite [...]

And Then It Is Gone!

As quality listings appear in MLS, Buyers need to be aware that procrastination will cost you a great deal! Just a few weeks ago, I went to look at a car in Palm Harbor. The guy was selling his used Cadillac DTS for $15,000. It only had 20,000 miles and the old man is the original owner. I knew the car was worth $25,000 and I told him I would think about it. I called an hour later to tell him I would take the car, but the guy who came in 10 minutes after I left bought the car!

Agents Should Keep Advertising!

If you take a look around, you see GM filing for bankruptcy, Chrysler and Ford also in trouble. Pick up a Sunday paper and what do you see? Full page ads with cars on sale!

Flash In The Pan

Is it just me or does every time the market goes up or down SHARPLY, there is a new “Flash in the pan” agent that comes …….. and then goes with that market.

It’s FUN To Be A Realtor Again!

Seems like with every rise and fall of the market, we get those shady products trying to suck the public into false promises (trust me, if they knew where to buy houses for $500, they would not be selling books to tell everyone about it, they would be in the Fortune 500 as one of the wealthiest people in the USA, not selling CD’s on late night T.V.).

I’m Still In Shock Over The Exit Realty Concept!

I made the move to EXIT. My goal now is to be the #1 EXIT Agent in the World! The DIFFERENCE IS THIS: The #1 EXIT Agent in the world will share everything they have with me, and I to him. We all work as a TEAM to help other agent be a sucess! Why? Residuals! When my group does well, I get a paycheck!
