I taught a video class today. An updated version of my "How To Use Video In Real Estate" series that I've taught across the valley for the last 3 years. For those that have not attended this class, it's all about HOW to get started in real estate video. I don't reduce it to "use your iPhone or iPad to shoot video", we get into mindset, what to make videos about, YouTube, video outlines, video editing, video syndication, types of video and more - there really is … [Read more...]
"I didn't know you did this!" That's what the Phoenix real estate agent said to me. She was amazed. Blown away. Relieved. Relieved that someone in the real estate space in Phoenix could help her. She needed help shifting her real estate business online. She needed help with WordPress. Creating content for the web. She needed real estate videos. Green screen videos. Screencasts. She had been using pictures of homes taken with an iPhone stitched together inside iMovie with … [Read more...]
I was reading an article recently from Inman asking if NAR will try and govern .REALTOR .RealEstate and .Homes; new TLD's or Top Level Domain's that NAR, allegedly spent big bucks on {$500,000 bones} to create and manage. In the post titled "Will NAR Govern .REALTOR sites With A Heavy Hand?", I discovered that NAR has applied to (ICANN) Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers to create and manage these new alternatives to the .com. So, should you get one? … [Read more...]
Warning. Danger Will Robinson. Rant Ahead. . . Google. YouTube. Magazines. Postcards. Emails, Seminars, pick one and you are likely to see, hear, read someone in the real estate space TELLING you what you absolutely need to do immediately to grow your real estate business. Sorry, I mean "TELL YOU WHAT YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO DO IMMEDIATELY!" Call more often, cold call, door knock, send personal notes, get this website, use this software or that one. Seems … [Read more...]
I am doing something CRAZY. Not CRAZY like joining a cult or taking a vow of silence {I could never do that any way}, no - I am talking about doing something crazy in the real estate and title company marketing space.

It is. I will explain. Look at your real estate business … [Read more...]
Why I'm branching out, without BranchOut It's happening again. Another service that was probably a good idea at one point is being ruined again. Ruined by [some] real estate agents intent on spamming other people's facebook wall with requests of endorsements and/or connections. First it was LinkedIn, then it was Stik.com..... now it's BranchOut. For the love of unicorns, mermaids [mermaids was Anthony's idea] and puppies - Oh My Gawd - Please … [Read more...]
This Is A Rant. . . Many of the emails and comments I have received from real estate agents, title reps and consumers alike have said that many of you appreciate my "no nonsense" style of telling it like it is OR at least how I think it is. Well, here is another one for you....Enjoy! Is This You? I am about to tell you something I have wanted to say for a long time. You don't know me although you certainly should, I am your ideal client - the consumer. I may be a … [Read more...]
DANGER WILL ROBINSON. WARNING: THIS IS A RANT. PROCEED WITH CAUTION. Ah, you noticed. I unfriended you. Yep, it was me. I should have done it a long time ago, this wasn't the first time you did something stupid, merely the last thing in a long line of what I like to call - ass clown. I'm talking about your activity on facebook. I had a good day today. A great Sunday. I watched my New York Giants crush their rival Philadelphia Eagles [take that Anthony!!], I took my … [Read more...]
Have you ever had one of those moments where you said "ah, now I get it?" Well I have had one recently and I would like to tell you all about it. I would like you to know about it because I believe it presents a teachable moment for you as a real estate agent from a consumer [me]. As you may already know, I am a former title rep. I spent 10 years in the title industry. In those 10 years I have seen a lot. I've seen the married couple come in to a title company excited about … [Read more...]
