Marketing in the commercial real estate market is dull!  Our office covers a wide range of real estate needs:  residential, commercial, land, ranches, resort.  Mainly because of our clientel and where we are located.  But the commercial market is beginning to slow.  I've been looking for more marketing ideas, like thinking outside of the box to market property that's for sale or available space to lease.  We've come up with holding a version of residential open houses.  During the week, holding open a lease space, putting out the open house signs and banners, having refreshments and finger foods, and brochures to expose the general public of the availability of the space.  We open during the middle of the week, from 11:30am to 1:30pm to be available in the noon lunch hours for anyone wh... 10/31/2008

When I got my Texas real estate license I guess I missed the small print at the bottom of the license which states:  "...you must wear many hats...".  Since I started I have mowed grass, cleaned windows, decorated, cleaned houses, sat with pets, and given advice on a multiple of subjects, and now I'm a financial analyst on Global banking.  Now, don't get me wrong.  I hold my own with my clients.  But I wonder where the Phd financial advisory hotrods are?  Where did they go?  When one of my clients thinks of me, his realtor, to find out the financial condition of our country I start thinking these financial types must be out of clients and not making a living. That's all right.  I've picked up more customers and it just opens another line of marketing to sell real estate.   10/12/2008

We got a new assitant in our office and within a week we are beginning to get back to normal (if there is such a thing).  She's a good one.  Sometimes it's hard, even for agents, to sort a list of priorities and do the right one at the right time and go to the next one.  This assistant we have now, caught the office current within this week and now we can move ahead with our prospecting and bringing in new business.  So here's hats off to ours and all the assistants out there in the real estate industry who work relentlessly and hard to see our deals through.  Thanks to you.  09/19/2008

Just recently at a social gathering hosted by a local title company,  I met a closer who will make a house call if necessary and has in the past in order to get the close completed.  What a deal for the title company and the agents, and most importantly....for the clients.  Imagine closing your side of the transaction from the kitchen table.  Great service idea. 08/09/2008
