There are different methods that home buyers may use to find a real estate agent to work with. While some may use the services of a real estate agent who they know personally, others may reach out to a professional who they have located online. Regardless of whether you previously knew the individual in a non-professional setting or not, it is important that you check your agent's reference and testimonials before you get started with the home buying process. There are several good reasons for this.     The Importance Of AccessibilityWhether you are trying to find the perfect property and submit an offer before anyone else or you are actively negotiating with a seller, you need your real estate agent to be accessible to you. Simply because you are friends with the agent or they were fri... 09/09/2021

Mail Means MONEY in Your Pocket! One of our favorite clients recently challenged us on social media about the importance of mail and I thought it was worth addressing in a Zebra Report: "Where I am from I don't see many people reading their mail when they have social media. When I ask if they received my letter after a week or two most say they haven't picked up their mail because they are too busy." Although I am a big proponent of mail, I also hear what she is saying as there may be a few factors at play in her particular farm area. Let's look at some things that generally may affect how a whole area handles mail: Proximity to MailboxSome neighborhoods and areas use clustered and secured mailboxes. Since people may not pick up the mail every day, a mailbox would probably be stuffed w... 09/03/2021
