The majority of Realtors in today's market do not have this knowledge.  It's important to find them out and to put them in your marketing plan.  Whether you are working with buyers or sellers this important marketing tool is the next step in increasing your business and marketability to consumers - both buyers and sellers!

I have a secret...Actually, it's not that big of secret. Every chance I get I tell everyone all about it...So how big a secret can it be? One of my secret weapons in having a successful profitable business is my web manager/virtual assistant Chris Fisher.  My website is never the same...week to week, day to day, I am adding deleting and changing content, photos, branding or something constantly.  Marketing today has drastically changed from years past.  I have been a marketer for over 25 years. I was trained in classic marketing techniques, but today's maketing trends are driven by search engines rankings, credibility through website presence and visuals.  How do we get this new trend in marketing - a robust and active website that is constantly changing!  Many days Chris arrives to her...

While out previewing homes yesterday I lost my heart to a home I'd never seen before and it's time for me to find a lucky family to claim this home. This is the view from the back deck. And this is the view from the master bedroom window. The adjacent office has similar views. The hillside views are better from this home than many others in the area. If you know of someone looking for a home with Panoramic views in Danville CA or Alamo CA, please send them my way. There are some awesome, awesome opportunities to relax in your new home with a view just minutes from shopping, the Iron Horse Trail and fine dining. The local school district is the top unified districts in the state of California. Buying or selling a home in Westside Danville or  Danville CA real estate, contact me as I am ...

Being a professional stager means more today in this market than ever before. It has always been an important service for home sellers, but in this market if you don't stage your home it very likely won't sell.  Your competition is staging and so must you. The good news about that from a sellers perspective is that a well trained full service staging company offers so much more than just bringing in furniture.  As a professional we have kept up with the trends in the market place and have continued our education to make sure that we are a truly added value service to our clients. Yes, we have a 4,000 square foot warehouse full of wonderful furnishings and accessories to add the right touches to your home BUT we also have:  - A team of professionals to refer to provide every service need...
