As everyone is aware we have our share of problems with insurance in California, but I was surprised at how insurance companies in their effort to get out of California, are actually cancelling good customers. Here is a perspective from an insurance broker I spoke to recently! And some good advice on what not to do! This post is part of the #30dayrealestatesocialmediachallenge and is for day 24 of The 30-Day Real Estate Social Media Challenge: “Share an opinion or perspective on a hot topic or trend in the world of real estate.” (2 comments)
real estate agents: Mo Anderson
- 09/27/23 08:16 PM
When I came to Keller Williams Realty, years ago, I was lucky enough to meet Mo Anderson at a couple of events. She is an amazing woman with an amazing story. She is the daughter of a poor tenant farmer from Oklahoma. And she became CEO of one of the largest real estate franchises in the world! Listening to her at KW Family Reunions and KW Mega Camp was always so inspirational. She truly inspires so many people to be not only better agents, but better people. She has been an inspiration to me since I came to Keller Williams in (0 comments)
real estate agents: A Note of Appreciation
- 09/27/23 08:12 PM
I have been blessed with so many clients over the years who have used me over and over or who have referred me to friends and family. I have 2 clients who I am sure have closed more transactions with me than any others and have also referred me to friends and family through the years.
Both of these clients were honored at our Client Appreciation Party last year. Each of them have either bought and sold or referred me to family and friends over 14 times in the past 10+ years. I (1 comments)
real estate agents: Should she become a Realtor?
- 09/27/23 06:08 AM
Unfortunately I don't have a video to post today for this challenge so instead I will tell you about a time I gave advice to a client of mine, who became a very successful real estate agent. She was a teacher at the time and had been in the teaching profession for many years. She had seemed to come to a time in her life that she was not enjoying teaching any longer and she wanted my advice about going into real estate. We had lunch and talked about real estate. The good, the bad and more specifically why she thought real (0 comments)
real estate agents: Real Estate can be challenging
- 09/26/23 04:35 PM
There can be so many obstacles and challenges in the real estate industry, that I'm not sure where to start... This is for day 20 of The 30-Day Real Estate Social Media Challenge: “Share a challenge or obstacle that you faced or overcame as a real estate agent or real estate-related industry professional.”
Ok, just a few random thoughts... That buyer who decided to purchase a car right before closing escrow. The seller who thinks they know more than me about pricing their home. The termite report that came in at $20,000 because of termites and beetles. The tenant that decided not to move out of the house within (3 comments)

This challenge really is starting to make me realize some things! This is my family and looking back through photos to find one, I realized that we do not have many family photos for this year (this is last year) and also that we have no photos with all of us in it since the grandbabies were born, starting in 2021. This gives me more to work on! As our children become adults and they have children of their own, it becomes harder and harder to get everyone together at once. We (2 comments)

real estate agents: How I Use Video To Get More Offers On Your Home
- 09/13/23 09:44 AM
I’m a real estate agent and I make videos. And you’re probably like, “I know, but who cares?” Here’s why you should care. Because I make videos, I can get you more offers on your home. Generally speaking, because I make video content, I have a larger audience that consumes the content I put out. Some of that content is about the houses that I sell: larger audience, more potential buyers, more offers. Also, I regularly create listing videos that are professionally done by a videographer. So your house will be highlighted not only in professional photos but in a slick video walkthrough (2 comments)
real estate agents: Is It Time To Sell Your Rental Property?
- 09/12/23 10:40 AM
It’s something that is coming up more often since the pandemic hit. Owning a rental property is usually a sure-fire way to maintain a solid stream of passive income, but there are some landlords who are now having trouble maintaining that investment. So, is it time to sell that rental property? COVID-19 created the perfect storm for some rental property owners. The pandemic ate up a lot of their profits from the property since many renters began defaulting but were protected by federal and state eviction moratoriums. This meant that many property owners still had to pay their mortgages on these homes, (0 comments)
real estate agents: What to Say and Not Say During a Home Showing
- 09/07/23 10:15 AM
They’re watching! Yes, did you know that you are sometimes RECORDED when you walk through a home showing? It’s true! It's essential to strike the right balance between expressing your opinions and keeping your cards close to your chest. Let’s talk through the tips: 1.Be mindful of your surroundings and be cautious about what you say. Avoid discussing your financial situation, negotiation strategies, or any personal information that could be used against you. 2.Keep it positive: While it's okay to comment on the home's features, try not to be overly critical. You never know if the homeowner is listening in, and you don't (1 comments)

Good morning Activerain members! I thought since I am back to the rain and I came across Lew Corcoran's 30 Day Real Estate Social Media Challenge, that I should participate!
