What I Learned This Week at ActiveRain-November 25 to December 1, 2018. I learn something new every day at ActiveRain! With this series, I try to highlight one post per day that gave me that lightbulb moment. It could be something techie, something about Real Estate or the other professions that I never knew, about a place, or about a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice! November 25:  Barbara Todaro   Most Finish Before They Start...Looking for Immediate GratificationWhile it would be nice to be able to be where we want to be immediately, that's not the real world. Besides, our learning and growth come from the journey.  November 26: Richie Alan Naggar Pop Those Christmas Tree PimplesSeriously, I didn't know this one!!!! Raise your hands if you're going to...

     Can the Buyer move in early?  The Closing is only a week away.  The house is vacant.  Inspections have been completed, the loan is approved, everything else is in order.  The buyers moved out of their previous home last week; they are staying in a hotel.  All of their belongings are in a moving truck.  The Buyer wants to move into the house early.     What can be the harm?          When this question is posed to a Seller, a flashing red light and an alarm should go off.  "Early Possession" might result in serious legal and financial problems for both the Buyer and the Seller (and the real estate Brokers involved in the sale).     If the parties agree to let the Buyer take Early Possession (also known as Occupancy Prior to Closing), you should see a real estate attorney for legal ad...

 You can't fly the plane in panic mode. How to relate this to real estate?How many transactions an agent does IS important. Each time a buyer or seller purchases and goes to closing... is like taking a college course for the agent. Each transaction is a chance to learn. The more you list the more you sell the more proficient you become.So just like flying... the more landings and takeoffs that you do...the better pilot one becomes. You don't learn much from a perfectly smooth landing or from a  perfectly smooth cash settlement.  Each bump or bit of turbulence...gives the opportunity to solve another challenge.  Anyone see the movie, Sully? Check out this quote: "This was dual engine loss at 2,800 feet followed by an immediate water landing with 155 souls on board. No one has ever traine...

We all have needs. We all have bills to pay, mouths to feed (in my case 5 mouths to feed – I know, it is not easy!), and some have university to pay for. I get it. Today, I want you to consider setting that aside, and instead start working in a vision. Ask yourself, "Is my real estate business driven by my vision or my needs"?That’s right, what if you started working according to a vision, instead of working according to your needs? I recently went through this myself and earlier this year, I realized I was working according to my needs and not my vision. I had a vision, but it was blurry. And most importantly, it was secondary to my needs. Over the next 48 hours I got super-focused on what my vision was going to be. I want to share the exact formula of how I came up with my vision and ...

Henry Harrison was born in Mendon, Massachusetts back in 1841. When he was young his father died so he had to work to support his mother and younger sister. I do not have any data if he attended school however that is not of course the rest of the story. He was a resident of Pawtucket, Rhode Island in 1861, when the Civil War started. He had his then 10-year-old sister drive him around in a carriage going from house to house recruiting for the North. In one day, he had recruited 63 men for the Union Army. At the age of 20 he enlisted in the Union Army in the 2nd Rhode Island Volunteer Infantry. He proved to be a natural leader and a fierce fighter. Seeing action at the Battle of Bull Run where he was promoted to first lieutenant. He also fought at the Battle of Fredericksburg and the Ba...

When building customer-base for real estate, success is not an overnight feat. It will involve a lot of hard work. Letting other people know of your business or about the property you sell does not totally mean that you have to place lots of text-based ads all over. You have to be creative to excite your potential buyers. Here are some tips for your next real estate advertising goal.  Create a video walk through of the house. Take advantage of the technology offered by smartphones and drones. Using them plus your creativity, you can shoot at different parts of the house to present realistic view of what you are selling. Build free offers to collect email addresses. If you are observant, you probably can see that a lot of websites and blogs have pop-ups offering free trials, free newslet...

If you don't follow Kevin May but you want to get fit, now is the a good time..... I learn something with every single blog post written by Kevin....  Today's "Think Thin" is geared more toward the weightlifters out there. There are plenty of routines that satisfy the POWER aspect of using weights and or machines in your workout but none which is so misunderstood than the "Negative" also called eccentric reps. Everyone has a favorite method that combines negatives into their workout. It's the reason why they do them that may defeat their effectiveness. We've discussed how to determine what your maximum lift and reps should be for each exercise. Now it's time to change it up a bit with negatives. During eccentric movements you can control 20 to 30% more weight than what you can lift. Thi...

Time management requires some good planning and lots of thinking:  Are having trouble getting things done?  Do you think that you need a better time management system?  Before you consider some time management system as a silver bullet you should consider the following. When my clients in Westchester County New York tell me that they have problems with time management I ask them why. They talk about issues they are having, and I ask them why they are having those issues. Have you ever found a time when you go so much done with time left over? Has the opposite been true and you think I am never going to finish this? In either case, you will find it had more to do with your attitude than systems and procedures. Systems and procedures cannot create more time. There are many books that tell...
