Happy to Help My Fellow Agents

Today was our monthly office meeting. It was a dreary, rainy day, so it was a smaller meeting than usual. I am so happy to hear the other agents in the office talking so enthusiastically about using the internet to further their business.  

 Our discussion began with the company website, then turned to blogging and social networking sites. My real estate career would never had taken off from the beginning if it was not for the internet. I was not a new agent in my hometown. I did not have a lot of family in the area. I hardly knew my neighbors! But buyers began to find me anyway, through my time consuming but free, internet marketing.

So, I am no expert on the new online marketing, but I do it, I enjoy it, and I see results. If you are new to this, if you didn't know what a blog was earlier today; don't worry. Just dive in, have fun, enjoy your work. We are lucky enough to do something we love for a living! Happy Blogging!

Previewing Homes Today

Aside from some recent Broker Luncheons, I have found that I have not spent the time lately to go out there and see what was available on the market. With the market as it has been here the past couple of months, I found myself spending more time keeping in touch with potential clients, figuring out how to market my listings so they stand out from the crowd, and stressing. What I have not done was to just go out and see what some local builders have been working on, check out the new subdivisions, and spend a little time with other agents in my office. It was time well spent. The conversations, hearing what other agents are going through right now, bouncing ideas off each other; really helped me to spend less time stressing and more time focusing on what I need to do. It was also good to step away from the computer for a little bit. I enjoy what I do. I find a great amount of satisfaction from helping a client sell their home and a buyer finally find the right home for them. lately it has been just a little less fun. Now, I put on my optimistic, positive goggles, and look forward to the opportunities before me tomorrow.
