Your Real Estate Insider

One of my favorite parts of selling real estate is meeting new people. I am definetly people person, so selling real estate is the perfect job for me. Last December, I got a new client from a desk duty call. We began looking at houses and put a contract on a short sale. Months later the contract fell through, but we started looking again and found an even better house. Yesterday my client Bobby, closed on that house. I am very happy for him, he found everything he wanted, in the exact location he wanted to buy. He has worked hard to get to this point. I would also like to thank him for his loyalty. Having a contract fall through, is sometimes hard to get through, but he kept me as an agent. It is great to have made a sale but its even better to have made a new friend. Congratulations Bobby!

Last friday, we had a bake sale for Charity. It was part of our company wide community day initiative, to help give back to the communities that we live and work in. It was a huge success, we raised about one thousand dollars total, that will be divided between three great charities. Our charites were CCAP (local food bank), The Womens Shelter, and the United Way. It was a great experience, it always feels good to give back to the community that has given us so much over the years. I can't wait for our next community day! Thanks Aaron

I recieved some great training today from Bartles and Associates. Earlier today my broker provided us with Marketing training from Bartles and Associates. It was individual training sessions, custom fit to our personal marketing plans. They were able to look at my current marketing/promotions plan and help me focus it, along with tips on streamlining the process. It made me realize that although I have a marketing plan, with a end goal, I am also too scattered. That makes my plan impossible to achieve. Today's marketing training helped me narrow my marketing message that will make it achievable, and can make it possible to meet my goals. If your business needs a jumpstart or direction, I highly reccomend Bartles & Associates. Check out their website by clicking below. Thanks Aaron

Long & Foster has a new title partner in West Virginia, and its Crawford and Keller. Tasha Keller Catrow spoke at our sales meeting this morning to kick off the new partnership. Crawford and Keller has two locations, Martinsburg, and Charles town. They will negotiate short sales, this makes it easier for agents to focus on selling, not waiting on hold with a loan servicer. They have been in business for many years and have a great reputation for getting deals closed. I look forward to working with our new title partner. Welcome Crawford and Keller!

I just finished with a closing on one of my listings. It was a short sale, this alone tells you it was not easy. I listed in in August 2009, and had it under contract shortly after that. I then put a backup contract on it. The primary contract was not able to close but tried up until it expired the beginning of April 2010. I then processed the backup and was able to close today. During this listing I have had to work through lots of different things. It changed loan services in between, We had a break in, we were running close to foreclosure, we had five differentshort sale negotiators, I had to do repairs to the house myself to meet appraisal requirement. I had to pay the electric & water bills myself not knowing if I were ever going to make it to closing. I even had to work through two large snow storms. This one was very challenging and now that I got it closed, it is very rewarding. I feel like I can get anything to closing after this sale!
