Are we doing enough for our community? At Miller Homes Group in Tyler Texas we ask this everyday. Simply put, we want to do as much as possible and do it from the heart. For almost 2 years, Homes for Heroes was available and no one in our market touched it. The greed took over and no agent or company wanted to pay a referral. When Miller Homes Group opened we acquired the territories within hours. You see, we viewed it as a win-win and knew it was good for all involved. I would give a share of my commission to a Hero in the community to assists with the selling or buying of a home and in turn I get business I normally would'nt get. Sounds just like a referral that agents do every day. I can help civil employees, police, fireman, military, health care and so many folks, it made sense to ...

  As a Real Estate agent we have opportunities every day to take the road that always leads to nowhere.   You see we all have computers in our life and we would never knowingly download a virus or do anything to corrupt the information on this piece of necessary equipment, now would we?   Yet as agents we will sometimes allow negative press or negative people to form our opinion or impact the way we do business. In effect downloading a virus into our very own human computer.   It is difficult, but in order to succeed at anything you need to treat your brain as if it was a computer when it comes to negative information.

Is customer service missing in your business? I had a great visit with a seller today in Tyler, Texas about his total dislike of real estate agents and after much discussion finally traced it to the fact that he had received terrible service from at least 2 other agents who had had his house listed. Amazingly enough, he had come by to say he had gotten great service from an agent in our office. It is amazing that in a day where good customers are increasingly hard to come by, some agents still believe that a sign in the yard and a Casper the ghost impression is still acceptable in today’s market. This seller paid full commission and offered a bonus to the selling agent on a home of 300 thousand and 2 of the so called experts treated him with no respect. The other agents said open houses...

Well what do you know another great idea from the government fails? In 2010 with fully one quarter of all mortgages under water and people looking to strategic foreclosure as an option our lovely brain trust in Washington comes up with a brilliant plan to save millions of these properties and adjust the value. Simply put they would allow homeowners the opportunity to refinance their FHA loan at the adjusted value provided they had a good pay history. Pretty simple you might think, but after 1 year only 304 homeowners have been helped and the program has only 1 year left.  Bank of America, who received billions and billions in bailout money to help with loans, refuses to participate in the program. After their merger with Country Wide they control a full quarter of all FHA loans and rece...
