So as we are out recruiting new agents, the question arises, how can you tell the good ones from the great ones?  Which ones are going to be fantastic and which ones are going to fizzle?  While I haven't been able to find a good measuring stick for desire, I have found a suitable substitute.  It ...

After processing a few pre-foreclosure sales, I have been surprised at the bidding strategies employed by those hoping to win the chance to buy these homes. In order to best understand the strategy to employ we need to understand how the auction (or bid) works.  The pre-foreclosure bidding proces...

So I couldn't sleep tonight because I have been thinking about 2 listing appointments I had earlier today with families who are selling 'by owner'.  In both cases, I believe that the families are planning on marketing their homes with me.  One of the families needs to get their home ready to mark...

I imagine this is happening in a lot of areas out there but I thought you might be interested to see the sharp contrast in the Cache Valley real estate market on homes below $180,000 and those $180,000 and up.

So, how do I manage a schedule in the real estate field?  How do you stay flexible but still get things done? Tom Hopkins said it best.  "Do the most productive thing possible at every given moment."

So I hinted at a blog about scheduling and I think that scheduling is a great topic.  Tell me if this sounds familiar...."I got into real estate so I could be my own boss, set my own schedule, spend more time with my family, and make great money doing it!"  Hmmmm....I don't know where everybody g...

Agents, here is the great news.  You will never be replaced.  No matter who has access to what information, you will always be valuable.  Why?  Because you know the market place.  If you want to be valuable, you need to get inside of more homes.  The more homes you can get into, the more you can ...

Pricing a home is one of the most critical pieces of a real estate agent's success or failure.  Consistently pricing homes higher than market value will leave both the agent and the client very frustrated.  Consistently pricing homes below market value is a direct violation of the fiduciary respo...
