We decided to do a  Chili Fest in our local town today.  WOW   Lots of work ahead of time but did we ever have fun!  We made white chili and red chili.....mexican corn bread too.  All of the agents joined in and families too.  My daughter commented on how our company and agents are like family......

We planned a parade for our company this year in the local town.  WOW!!!  Lots of work but what a success.  We dressed up like pirates.....Caribbean theme and the local town is known as the pirates...... some of our agents were pirates and some were flowered shirts.  We made a float with banners....

It seems when we got to homes that have Expired the main topic is how the other agent never communicated.  We all have failed one time or another on this....yes....even us.  We have now put a system in place that will get the feedback and send reports to clients that keeps them up to date on feed...

It seems funny to me that every time it gets hot my phone rings more.  You would not think that weather would make people buy homes but it does.  I am not sure why but if it starts raining or gets cold people forget about buying and selling homes.  This week the thermometer hit the 90's and I rec...

I feel the ole adage of our grandparents is truer than what we thought at the time as we would laugh at them.  Have you ever heard you need to save for a rainy day?  Well with all the rain we are getting and remind me of this because it seems no one wants to buy a home on rainy days.  lol  I can ...

My wife and I have been discussing buyers loyalty lately and have thought about making the buyers pay a retainer of 100-250 dollars and if they buy through us then that money is given back to them at closing.  We were wondering if anyone does this and any comments from anyone that has or does now...

I am need of an office template website.  I have looked at several and bought one (CloseRealty.com) and would not recommend them for anything.  They took my money and never completed the project nor did they provide the basics of the website after one month.  The basics of the template should hav...
