Have you ever considered a builder's rep as someone that can help grow your business?In theory the builder is probably better off NOT having an agent involved as often as possible since that's just more profit margin for them, right?However, a builder and their reps might find value in aligning with agents that can provide value to the builder, and what brings value to them?For one, free marketing.If a builder rep provides me knowledge (especially advance knowledge) that fits my niche, they know I'll put out a blog post (or two or three) that promotes their community.  And let's face it, while I can be crystal clear in my post that the buyer gains ZERO advantage in going solo, some will still go straight to the builder's rep after they find that information on our website or blog.  Been...

Observations from a Beverly Hills Realtor: What do real estate clients expect from us?  In our over-saturated profession as Realtors - because as we well know, it is easy work! Anyone can sell a house! - how do you stand out from the competition?I’m sure we can come up with a long and varied list. My strategy is quite simple - I answer my phone; I respond to texts and emails in a fast, efficient manner; and I do not use auto responders unless I am driving. Then my phone lets the texting party know that I am driving. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the global economy in today’s environment, I find that most potential buyers’ and sellers’ want and expect a relatively quick  and straight-forward response and answer to their inquiry. They generally have done a good deal of rese...

Google's algorithm is forever trying to find the optimum mix of good local results and quality keyword specific search results. Often times the local results for any given search query will dramatically change from market to market. If you're not aware of this, try performing a search for a keyword on Google. Google will take into account your GPS position and skew the results to provide you the best local information first. Now try performing the same search in a different metro.Google Searches are Hyper Local, But Changing Metros Isn't EasyUm, "how do I change my metro for a Google search?" you may be asking. Google took away the ability to easily change the locale of a search quite some time ago. The process to do it now is not as easy as it once was and is now a convoluted journey i...

Edgar Purnell Hooley was born in Swansea, Wales back in 1869.  I have no data other then he entered into a business partnership with Francis Lean as Architect and Surveyors at Neath.  He worked for a time as a surveyor with Stow-on-the-Wold Highway Board.  In 1884, he worked with the Maidstone Highway Board. In 1889, he was appointed County Surveyor to Nottinghamshire County Council.  While working on a survey he noticed something that gave him an epiphany which he acted upon.  That same year he applied for a patent, he was granted in 1903 (GB7796).  In 1904, he applied for the same patent in the United States, the patent was granted the same year.  As they say the rest is history.  He died at his home in Oxford, England in 1942.Now you may be asking yourself what did he get the patent ...

Apartments for rent in Boston is difficult, especially if you live in a city these days. High rents, old buildings, a temporary population, you just have to give up and move to the suburbs. There is hope that you can find the perfect place by following a few simple steps, taking your time and being realistic.What can you afford? This is one of those times when you need to sit down and find a budget. I know it sounds boring, but it’s better to spend an hour now than to find that you can’t pay for rent in two months. Consider food, utilities, transportation, entertainment, and shopping. Make sure you leave room for emergencies (this money can be saved if none is created).Now that you have a budget, you know what price range you are in and can get started and check it out.
