Business is starting to pick up here and I'm having trouble keeping up. I'm working seven days a week and 12 hour days and I think it's time I looked at getting an assistant so I can "Get a life." It seems I'm working harder but losing clients here and Read More...

Wow, what a day! Just the other day I listed a bank owned home here in Orlando. There is nothing special about that, but what is special is the price. The list price isn't so low that the listing is a steal, but I would say that it is a hair's breath Read More...

This may not be appropriate for Relib - however I thought I would check here first. I have a referral for the Miami area - a client that wants to list her home on Millionaire Row. Looking for an agent that specializes in luxury properties. Can anyone Read More...

I'm always looking to glean advice from the people that have longevity and success in the real estate industry. What books do you feel every agent must read? Read More...

I hear so many real estate agents telling me that internet leads suck. In the first few months of my career I heard the song so many times that I almost gave up on the idea of having a website. I started calling FSBO's, expireds and licking envelopes Read More...

I came across this letter on another real estate website. It is supposed to be written by Jay Leno, but I have no facts to back that up. Nonetheless, it is well worth the read - particularly during the election period and with all the negative press we Read More...

At 11pm the other night a client of mine called me to discuss a property acquisition he was looking to make. I've been working with the guy for about four months now. During the conversation he dropped a bomb on me. He said that real estate agents do Read More...

Just thought I'd share something that I have been testing out. Recently I added a voice (wave) file to one of my website pages as a test. As cheezy as it sounds, the results have been quite amazing. My bounce rates have reduced by around 40% and my registrations Read More...

I just logged into my Google account this morning and checked the links pointing towards my website. I noticed that every article I published on Relib resulted in a recorded link to my site in Google's registry. I suppose my question is, do multiple links Read More...

I just signed up for an account with an 800 number for a 24 HR information line. The program looks pretty good (see Adtrakker.com) and I see it as a great way of capturing leads and tracking advertising dollars spent. However, the proof will be in the Read More...

In the last month I have driven around several complete time wasters in my car. Eaten up my gas, paid for their lunches and in the end - no-action. Those that did take action went sooo low that all their offers were rejected and they gave up and decided Read More...

I'm sure many of you are getting ready to travel for the holidays. I just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! It has been so nice getting to know everyone on this site over the past months. Cherish the time you spend with your families and I wish Read More...

The Senate overwhelmingly passed legislation last Friday that will expand the nation's biggest federal home ownership program. The move may aid struggling subprime borrowers to avoid or altogether stop foreclosure. The bill will aid in loosening the strict Read More...

Has anyone here done the E-Pro Certification? Was it of any value to you? Would you recommend it to others that already have intermediary internet skills or better? I'd like to hear the pros and cons of those who have done the class. Read More...

Just a quick question, does anyone have a decent contract for putting together a real estate team? I'm trying to put together a team but don't want to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :) Read More...
