Niche marketing isn't exactly new to the real estate business but it can be a very fun and effective way to "build a community" within a region, market or area of expertise. I feel very fortunate to be heading to Seattle this week to attend "REBarCamp" (has nothing to do with alcohol) at the Zillow headquarters. There, I will learn a lot more about social networking, blogging and more ways to promote my business. One of the many reasons I am heading to Seattle is because of my friend, Rich Jacobson. You see, Rich has agreed to join me in a session at this "un-conference" to talk about "niche marketing." To be honest, I am really looking forward to it, partly because I think it will be a lot of fun and partly because I have a LOT of respect for Rich and for many of the people that will b...

  I believe many people like to think of "luxury" lofts, condos and high rise units when they first begin talking about homes near our light rail line. While we do have many different types of homes near light rail, it is also good to point out that there are currently hundreds of much more affordable homes near the line. In fact, just this morning I did a search and found 175 homes priced up to or less than $90,000 available in this "city within cities" that we call the light rail corridor. Yes, $90,000.00!   Here is a partial breakdown of the data: Active listings priced at or below $90k - 175 Avg, list price $67,291 (low, 25k - high $90k) Approximate square foot range: 1,012 sq ft. (low 407 high 2,184) Average list price per approximate square foot: 73.02 (low 26.04 high 161.74) Cumu...

Homes near the new light rail line in Tempe, Phoenix and Mesa have had my interest for quite some time now. In fact, well before the grand opening of this 20 mile stretch of "a city within cities," I began to study the many different types of property along route. In looking at the diversity of neighborhoods, one can quickly realize how much sense the "city within cities" analogy makes. I am really excited to be working with our team at RailLife.com to begin rolling out the real estate sections to bring some of this fun (to me) information to the public. We will also be working with other agents to help create awareness for the areas we find so interesting. (more on that in the near future) For now, we have a "Real Estate" section on RailLife.com which will continue to evolve and improv...

Over the last 16 years in the real estate business, I have really enjoyed meeting new people and keeping in contact with many of the friends I have made. Early on in my real estate career, I learned that "farming" was a term often used by successful agents, denoting an area, sphere of influence, or specific demographic that fits ones needs personally or professionally. In the "old days" farming mainly referred to door knocking, direct mail and making sure your farm heard from you a certain number of times per year.    Today, new farms have cropped up all over the internet. Terms like niche marketing and hyper-local blogging have become quite effective. Over the past couple of years, I have studied many different types of web -based and social networking options to better serve myself an...

The Phoenix Metro Light Rail Line arrives on Saturday, December 27th to a host of Grand Opening Celebrations. We have heard projections of up to 200,000 people riding the new trains on opening weekend. Live bands, fun zones, celebrities, community groups and food booths are just a few of the MANY things happening along the entire 20 mile route during the Grand Opening. All rides on the light rail system are free of charge beginning Saturday the 27th at 10 a.m. and continue to be free of charge until January 1, 2009! (see schedule below) Our new light rail line has been a long time coming. This $1.4 billion project signifies a huge change in an area famous for sprawl. Defining an urban core in the "Valley of the Sun" has yet to fully materialize as development has traditionally spread ou...
