Are You A Believer?

The highlight for me this year in sports is undoubtedly Tim Tebow!  He is not only a sports figure that overcame all of the sceptics who said he would never be a successful QB in the NFL, but leads by example.  He may not be your prototypical version of QBs we are so critical of in terms of QBR, stats, etc. but he has shown us that it takes more than skill alone to win...it takes guts, heart, soul and belief in a higher power greater than us.  Tim Tebow is the role model that our children should strive to be like in not only sports, but in everyday life on and off the field of battle.  Tim Tebow gets my vote for athlete of the year.  And no, i'm not a Broncos fan, but definately a Tim Tebow fan!  We should all believe that 4th quarter come backs are possible and hope that we have a little "Tebow Time" inside of us when we need it!  Happy Holidays and God Bless!

What Seller’s Really Want

Below is a real email we received from a local home seller detailing the key points they expect their listing agent to provide. I found it very interesting and insightful to be able to look into a consumer’s needs and thought may beneficial to anyone who may be thinking of listing their home but not sure about what a good listing should provide as a part of their services guarantee.

Client wrote the following…

“Marketing should include:

• Recommendations for staging and then professional photos taken for the listing.

• Extensive advertising online for the property and any open house that is held (and we need it held open as often as possible if not weekly).

• Upgraded service for websites for the best exposure.

• Email Blasts

• Professional Flyers

• Well advertised and thus well attended Broker Tours with good follow up for constructive feedback.

• Have the home listed on multiple MLS sites if the area permits.”

Are you providing these?
