Video Library

               

Hi there and good day,

Last week The Press Telegram published the Realtor of the Week, and I was fortunate to be that Realtor.

The article talks about the video library I have on YouTube. Take a look!

YouTube has proven a great way to find useful information about a variety of topics.

The workplace. As a REALTOR my workplace is al over town. Today I'm at my home office working on all the tech stuff that I can think off, and remember from a seminar I went to about a week ago. Marketing is online they say. that's true in many ways however the face-to-face and voice-to-voice is still more important in my book.

Yesterday was a little bit of running around and office work. The photo here shows Ua and Lisa, two of my favorite REALTORS at the office. A workplace is important to get motivated and have a sence of belonging I guess.

The fun part starts when I am 'all over town' showing properties or meeting with clients and friends. That's the way I like to do business, working with people who I like and who like me. By referral only, I call it sometimes. I can spend more time on my clients and their real estate needs that way. Many REALTORS spend time on 'door knocking', 'cold calling', calling 'for sale by owners' etc., etc. That time, I like to use to really be of service to my clients. when I meet my clients I always ask them for referrals, "... who do you know that's also thinking of selling their home...". It's a Win-Win situation.

I hope you enjoy your workplace as much as I do mine! Make it a great day!!

Oh, and by the way, I am never too busy for any of your referrals!

Thanks,

Robin

Popcorn, Space suit, and Scraping

About a week ago, I was in the pleasant position to be able to hand keys to Josh and Tracy. Their first home, WooHoo. It was a long time coming, and everyone was ready to get started to make this house their home!

One of the first things was to scrape the "popcorn" ceilings. This is a two day event that is very messy and not something many homeowners want to do themselves.

I am fortunate to have a long list of professionals, for all sorts of projects. The list has electricians, attorneys, gardners, plumbers, handy men - and women, roofers, garagedoor installers and it goes on, and on, and on.

This photo is the guy dressed up to be on his way to the International Space Station, yet he was nice enough to stay on Earth and scrape some "popcorn".

When you are in need of a trusted professional to help you around the house and more, contact me. I'll be glad to refer some people to you.

Referring is a big part of my own business too. I work by referral so that I can utilize my time to help my clients buy and sell their home.

Have a great day, and please remember, I am never too busy for your referrals!

Thank you,

Robin

Why you need a Home Inspection when buying your home.

Your Home Value

Whereever you live, whatever you live in. Condominium, windmill, townhome or single family residence, to know the value of your Abode is, well... Priceless. Now that the market has been somewhat stable after the roaring first decade of this millenium. We all need to be aware of the value of our home. Just to name a few possible reasons... You may be thinking of MOVING UP to a larger home or better neighborhood, you may be wondering if you can lower your property tax-bill. How about possibly re-financing into a better interest rate?

Tons more reasons, would make this a very boring piece o' Blog.

Bottom line is that the market evaluations that I prepare for my clients are to accurately and agressively place a value on your Real Estate. Not just a comparison to what is available for sale, currently pending and sold properties this year. NO! First of, it is of paramount importance to know what appraisers look at when appraising a home. Second I make sure I will compare "Apples to Apples", by making adjustments to key features to the properties that wiLl be part of the evaluation.

Rumor has it that sooner rather than later the Banks will release many foreclosures and short sales on to the market. Good chance that this will impact the value of your home. Therefore, if you're thinking to sell.... Consider SELLING NOW. If you are looking to re-finance, step up your game plan and talk to a lender.

Great resources are available to you. CONTACT ME Today.

To your home!
