What's in a name

2008-01-12T15:56:00Z

Sometimes it takes me a few days to catch up on my reading. I read Candance's thread about Email , yahoo etc. My name is Tommy Fergeson. Now spell it real quick in your mind. Go back and check to see if you were correct. Did you put a U in it? About 5 years ago I brought Tommyfergeson.com. People would call and say I can't find you on the web. I was discouraged with this because Saul Klien said I needed to brand my name. Then I thought how do I brand with a name that is misspelled 90% of the time. I came up with "tferg", short, catchy, and easy to spell. I checked to see if I could buy "Tferg.com" and it was not available. someone owned it but there was no web page. I checked every month for 3 years to see if it was available. It became available and I bought it. Tferg.com now points to Tommyfergeson.com and my email address is tferg@tferg.com. I have found that people remember this very easy and have even been nicknamed Tferg by local Realtors. Sometimes the KISS theroy works.

By the way when I spelled checked this Ispell wanted to change Fergeson to Ferguson.

New Office Web Page

2007-11-21T15:15:00Z

This is a cry for help! Our office web page is 5 years old and needs revamping. It's not that it is not current and up to date, it's just needs to be redone. My question is, can any of you suggest office web pages that are Point2 with say about 15 to 25 agents. I would like to visit them and see what is available for office vs single agent sites. You see I popped off at our sells meeting about how easy to maintain my site is. Then the other agents in my office who have point2 sites echoed my thoughts. My broker, friend, and mentor ask why don't you look ito this and we will consider changing. My wife always tells me when I leave to go to any kind of meeting to set down, keep my mouth shut and don't volunteer for anything. I just can't help myself.

Well I took the advice on another thread and Googled it. It's strange to me that all of you must live so close to the Colorado Springs Airport. I'm just going back to lurking and be really Quite.

I'm a Lurker!

I'm a lurker. There I've admitted it. I read the post on Relib nearly every day and have gained from them. I also visit the web sites of the posters to see if I can learn from them. I also look at the blogs on these web sites. I have noticed that there are also many views of these blogs with little or no comments posted. Mine is the same way. Is this normal?

Highland Lakes area of Texas

2007-01-30T16:29:00Z

I Live and work in the Highland Lakes area of Texas. This area consist of 5 lakes from Lake Buchanan in northern Burnet Co to Town Lake in Austin Texas. This area has not seen the slow down that has happened in other areas. I read an article on one of our local TV stations web page not long ago. Here are some of the highlights.

1700 homes were started in the Austin area in 2006. This is 6,000 than the year before.

Analysts say that the reason for so many homes being constructed in the area is because it continues to be a place where everyone wants to live.

One of the reasons the area didn't have a slump in our real estate market like so many parts of the country experienced is because our appreiation rates stayed steady. While some homes in California appreciated as much as 50%, austin area homes appreciated 5 to 7%. Plus home builders didn't overbuild.
