 Is It A Hassle To Sell My Home During The Holidays?This time of year turkeys get nervous, Malls get crowed, and sellers worry about being inconvenienced. I can't do anything to soothe the poultry's fear, but let's take a look at why listing a home for sale during the holidays is easier than a second helping of stuffing. Homes sell all year long-- There is a slight dip in SOLD inventory this time of year, but not that much. And the best part? There is normally LESS competition. Showings typically occur during the workday-- Buyers normally want to see the home during daylight hours. With dark coming before the evening news this time of year, that dictates a earlier showing time. Hence, there is a better chance of home owners being at work when the winter showing occurs. Nobody looks on T... 11/22/2017

NEXT! Is The Strongest Word In The Agent's LanguageEarly on in may career I was a "real estate lifeguard." Even if the escrow check was returned and the buyers had departed for Fantasy Island, I would still perform real estate CPR ( I thought of typing real estate mouth to mouth but that's next weeks post...).Two things would normally happen. 1) The deal would still die and 2) I would waste A BUNCH of time. My theory was, "what did I have to lose?" After all, if the deal died I wasn't getting paid anyway.Later on I figured out A) I can't MAKE people close the deal and B) the most valuable thing I have is my time. Since every human interaction leaves hints, here are some signs that your deal might be going the way of the megaladon... One of the partners stops communicating with you-- Rem... 10/01/2017

Writing (And Sticking To) A Daily Schedule In Real Estate SalesFew agents enter the field from a direct sales background.  I have met lawyers, plumbers, teachers (me), house wives, clergy, etc...who have made a 180 degree career leap into real estate sales.

In Real Estate You Win Some And Lose SomeOne of the first  lessons in real estate...not all interactions end in a check. Newbies are often shocked to discover that they can show homes to a "client" only to have said client go in another direction (a nice way of saying they fired you). When you do lose, here are some key things to do. Dust yourself off and get up-- In sales, it's hard to not take rejection personal. But don't. Time spent being sad is time not invested in finding new business. Don't let being depressed over losing a 100k buyer cause you to miss out on a 250k listing. Try to take a lesson from each encounter--Emotions may cloud your rational thinking in the moment. But down the line, look back at the episode from start to finish. How could you have handled the situation di... 09/19/2017
