Yes, this is a difficult real estate market, and many will drop out this year. But those who persist, and even ramp up their marketing, will prosper. Just ask those agents who worked through the last 2 or 3 real estate downturns!  "Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." —Calvin Coolidge Stay in touch with those homeowners who haven't quite decided whether to list or stay put by sending them these Homeowner Advice letters. This is a set of 18 letters, plus two suggestions for "invitation" copy fo...

What do you I love about your niche? Vacant Land!What I love about the vacant land niche is the endless potential it offers. Each piece of land is like a blank canvas waiting for someone to create something special. The possibilities for development, whether residential, commercial, or agricultural, offer a wide array of opportunities. There’s also something rewarding about helping buyers envision what can be done with a raw piece of land, from subdivision potential to long-term investments.Working with vacant land, especially in areas like Putnam and Westchester, means you're dealing with strategic planning and future growth, which is exciting! What excites you the most about working with vacant land?

Thanks for sharing these practical strategies to jumpstart a business!Have a super fantastic week!Joe Jackson, Realtor-KWCP Many of business owners are wondering how they can jumpstart their business using social media. The many choices make it hard to decide where to begin. To make matters worse there are many different social media experts telling them what they should do and what they should say without understanding the business. In my opinion this approach is counterintuitive. Social media is simply a new form of advertising and communication that requires a plan and strategy to be effective.
