Does name branding matter? Well let's consider the last time you were out of town, perhaps striking up conversation with someone on a plane and the topic of conversation gets to relocation. Not only is our relocation department tops but when local real estate companies without name branding are not only missing out on millions of dollars of creative and directional advertising but they're also harder names to remember. Remembering Coldwell Banker however is not difficult to do and just for that very reason. Can you see the benefit to not only buyers but sellers in that kind of branding? 05/28/2008

Something to think about........   December 2007 Over the past two years, a dozen states have passed foreclosure "protection" laws, and many states are following suit. Even in states where there are no specific foreclosure protection laws in place, there's plenty of power within the state Attorney General or County District Attorney's office to prosecute a real estate investor. Here's some of the things you need to do to stay out of trouble: GET ALL AGREEMENTS IN WRITING Oral agreements are not good anymore, and they often lead to a dangerous "he said, she said". If you get a deed from an owner across a kitchen table, it is a legal transfer, but you should document everything first with a contract and/or set of good, clear disclosures. These disclosures include the fact that the owner ... 12/04/2007
