I have asked a few homeowners - what they enjoy about living in Coronado Ranch -- here is what one homeowner had to say...   Just wanted to say thank you for the update on Coronado Ranch today.   I've been living here for one year this month, in the home you helped me to find and purchase.  This is a truly peaceful, quiet, family-oriented neighborhood.  There are great play areas for kids, good for walks for adults and pets, too.  I have never experienced a negative incident here, whether from neighbors or intruders, and I think that's an excellent record for a year's residency.  If you have anyone looking at a home in Coronado Ranch, I would be happy to  provide a recommendation.   Thanks again for helping me find a great home!   Carolyn Roberts 06/27/2009

The Paradoxical World Of Real EstateHow You Are Sabotaging Your Business By Following Commonly Accepted Opinion.....   It's not politics, sex or religion. No! there are other topics that top producers dare not bring up within a mile radius of so called 'old-school-real-estate-agents'. Ok, here it goes...... the topic is "Open Houses"...  There are many aspects of real estate that are pretty clear but our perception distorts it, and we sabotage our business because we can't seem to operate in a gray area (or colorful as I like to think of it). It's either black or white.... Question: Are Open Houses a Good Practice For Real Estate Agents? There are those who say "yes I've sold multiple homes by holding open houses and love them..." and then there are those who say "Open Houses are a wast... 06/22/2009

Joe’s Farm Grill has the food you’ll love. When you’re out in the east valley, and looking for a way to reward yourself, be sure and stop in at Joe’s Farm Grill for breakfast, lunch or dinner between 7 a.m - 9 p.m.  Since Joe’s Farm Grill and Joe’s Real BBQ are both owned by Joe Johnston, the ribs and BBQ are done right.  Check the menu.   I was in a nearby community taking a video for an out of state client and finished up around luch time.  My wife had been to Joe’s Farm Grill with some friends and spoke highly of their BBQ chicken pizza, as well as the sweet potato fries, so that was the endorsement (excuse)  I needed to stop in and check it out for myself.  Glad I did.  I came away with the same conclusion as many others, including the Zagat Survey, Phoenix Magagzine, and Gilbert T... 06/10/2009

Marketing YOUR Videos Can Be Profitable   I wanted to share this video which has actually improved my credibility in my market. Few people understand social networking and completely miss the point of social networking. There's different kinds of marketing. I classify them as Direct Response Marketing Branding Awareness Communication Marketing (information marketing) Neither one is better than the other one. They should be taken into consideration equally and pay enough attention to them. If I could start all over again and had a chance to focus on one type of marketing, it would be direct response marketing. It is the hardest one to master, but once it's running it is effective and requires little or no time. Agents who've learned how to use Direct Response marketing will not be seen h... 06/02/2009

This story is told by my wife and Real Estate partner. I have been in real estate nearly half of my professional life. I started way back in 2000 and worked my way through corporate real estate and then moved to residential after I had my little guy a few years back. For the longest time, I LOVED my job. I had the opportunity to find or sell a home for someone and it was my job to ensure their best interest. It was satisfying work. When the transaction was over, everyone was happy... everyone got what they wanted. Well.... times have changed.I was recently blessed with new out of state buyers. Great people! Kind, friendly, outgoing, fun. People you could have in your car for nearly 20 hours over a 48 hour period and enjoy their company. AND, they were serious buyers - they found a home!... 05/31/2009

How To Sell Your Home FasterUsing Photography As A Tool   Quick! There's a big one. Get close, blur the back ground - Snap! The I-do-not-believe-in-photography listing agents are on to me again. My client requested pictures of a home that had no pictures on MLS. Doesn't it feel like they are laughing at you knowing you'll get those emails? Sometimes I feel like it's a conspiracy. They post pictureless listings and send demanding buyers your way. Ha ha, now you have to go look at the house and take pictures yourself or tell your clients that it probably is an ugly house and therefore it has no pictures. But the description doesn't say so and we are not going to lie... Experiences like this have made me appreciate photography more. I know I'm supposed to outsource little meaningless thing... 05/25/2009
