Rocky Enjoyed Today's Game....Rocky's Celtics Beat The Lakers 109-96

 

The Celtics had a fantastic last quarter.  The Lakers lost the game in that quarter....they let it get away from them......The Celtics did an incredible job of three pointers....Kobe was robbed a couple of times with fouls that should not have been called, but that's life!!!  It's good for Kobe to be humbled.

Rocky loved this game....it helps him forget the Patriots' loss!!!

Heinz Ketchup Users Know "Good Things Come To Those Who Wait !!!"

Patience is a virtue, but that's nothing new to an active real estate agent.  We know that patience is needed when working buyers, especially when that buyer has not even placed his home on the market!! 

Patience is needed when you are called to give a listing presentation and the home is not going on the market for six months!!!  That means six months of very close follow up. 

Patience is needed when selling a new home and not having it close for nine months.  Patience is needed with the buyer of that new home during the construction process and making sure selections are made in a timely fashion.  You know how difficult making choices can be!!!

Patience is a virtue in real estate and to learn that behavior will result in extra mileage.  Our road to success is a very long road, and any extra miles removed as a bonus are greatly welcomed by this real estate team.

Rocky's Doing What He Does Best!!!

Rocky will be ready for tomorrow's basketball game between the Celtics and the Lakers.  It won't be with the same enthusiasm as a Patriots game, but it will hold us over until baseball season starts!!!

Let's hope Doc Rivers doesn't get ejected from this game, too.

Go Celtics....Kobe needs a good whipping!!!

Oh Baby It's Cold Outside.....And I'm Here Because I'm A Serious Buyer!!!!

I just read a post this morning by Liz and Bill Spear titled "If you don't adjust for conditions, you may wind up in the ditch" and this triggered an important factor regarding winter marketing.  My team and I are listing agents, and marketing is the key to our business.

Winter is always a tough time in New England, especially with a snow storm every week.  However, one very important method in winter marketing that many eliminate is the "dreaded for many" open house event.  We provide an open house at our entire new inventory every weekend without fail. 

The important fact to understand is that when a visitor appears on a cold winter's day, that's a deal ready to happen, especially in an Active Adult Community.  There are too many other more desirable, sedentary activities in which to participate than venturing outside in single digit weather to see a home. 

Visitors at open house events fighting winter temperatures are serious buyers.  They are motivated to buy now, and unless there is a blizzard condition, they will visit the open house.  We have had many bad weather weekends, and we have written reservations for those visitors because of our open house events.  Winter appointments are the best, and winter visitors to open house events are the most motivated buyers.  If they're motivated to buy, we'll be there to sell them something, regardless of the weather.

Sometimes Our Advertising Dollar Goes Up In Flames....

I'm a firm believer that "everything sells."  Regardless of the type of property or the location, there will always be a buyer for it.  Finding the buyer is the task that will make or break you. 

Marketing to find the right buyer takes thought, money and sometimes a bit of trial and error.  This is typical with tracts of land.  There are many different concepts that may be applicable to a parcel, and there are many developer/builders who have had success with various concepts.  Finding the right match for the tract of land is a marketing endeavor. 

How you market and where you market will determine your success.  Attempting to make your phone ring is an exercise that is never ending.  It cannot always be done online.  Some of it costs money, and if we accept the challenge of marketing a unique listing, a specialty property, we must assume the responsibility of spending money to achieve the goal of selling it.

Real Estate Is A Team Sport Not An Individual Sport!!

I just read a post written by Rex Schofield titled "It Is Always Only About You" and it inspired me to share my thoughts on the influence an office has on an agent and vice versa.  This relationship is very powerful and can make or break an agent and/or an office.

We are independent contractors but our actions, positive and negative, are binding on our broker/owner.  When an agent shines, that agent wants all the credit when, in fact, the entire office has the right to reference that positive accomplishment.  I encourage agents within my office to use any accomplishment that happens within our walls.  We work as a team, and that means each agent's actions may influence another agent's business.  This can work positively or negatively.

When the agent blunders, the onus is on the broker/owner.  The negligent acts of the agent are binding on the master, when done on the master's business and within the scope of the agent's authority....Respondeat Superior.  However, not every negative situation results in legal action.  When there is a distasteful situation that occurs and the agent is involved, that negative result will have an influence on the entire office.  It's very important to hire cautiously and a broker/owner/manager must be very selective in their choice of agents. 

"It is NOT always about you" but it is ALWAYS about the office collectively No one works successfully in this business alone.  No one is strong enough to rise to the top alone.  Unless you are a one man office, you are not working alone, and it's not only about you.
