I don't know about you, but I'm very much enjoying this debate on whether or not we listing agents can positively affect the market value of our listings. I believe we can. And frankly, I'm stunned at the amount of opposition to that notion. Now, a disclaimer - I don't work in a distressed market...

This is yet another follow-up to the topic of "Is Price Always the Best Answer to a Non-Selling Listing?" that I started last week. You can read more HERE and HERE. Real estate agents are quite fond of the philosophy that "Price conquers all," meaning that if you price a listing low enough, it wi...

Picking up from Wednesday's "If Your Listing Isn't Selling..." So, if your listing isn't selling and you've agreed with me that perhaps price might not be the best solution, what else can you look at? Well, it might be really simple.

As the Introverted Real Estate Agent's New Best Friend (I just made that up), I give out a lot of advice on how to make a real estate career work even if you aren't the most outgoing, charismatic social butterfly in town. The other day I was asked about the appropriateness of adding people to yo...

Are you a Broker B (as in, Broker Bryant Tutas) follower? If you aren't, you're one of, like 5 people on Active Rain who aren't. We Rainers love our Broker Bryant, don't we? And don't get us started on how much we adore his wife, TLW. So, my people talked with his people and we arranged a specia...

As a follow-up to yesterday's blog about high school dating, loyalty and the wonderful world of real estate sales... A few weeks ago, I was watching The Bachelorette (yeah, I know, spare me the eye-rolls) and there was a scenario where the Bachelorette had a one-on-one date with one of the hopefu...
