Meet the Newest Member of the Team!

February 27, 2007 Comments

Dogs and real estate blogs seem to go together. We’ve got Toby & Sadie — not to be confused with Jonathan & Tobey. And of course there’s Greg & Odysseus. I’m sure there are other human/canine combinations out there as well.
Pictured to your left is the latest addition to the Thompson menagerie. He’s 100% purebred [...]

Listing of the Week!

February 23, 2007 Comments

What an agent puts into the Multiple Listing Service is important. The MLS is how most Realtors initially find out about a property that is for sale. The information is fed to web sites like realtor.com, and through IDX feeds to thousands of real estate agents web sites — where Joe Buyer often locates a [...]

February 22, 2007 Comments

We get calls like this all the time…
“Hi! My Realtor is busy, can you show me a home?” (note, this is NOT our listing)

“Yeah, but they are too busy, and we really want to see this home. We just need you to show it to us.”
OK folks, here is [...]

Point 2 Agent Does it Again…

February 14, 2007 Comments

Right now, someone is thinking, “Geeze, there he goes again, plugging Point 2 Agent…”
And you’re right. I will freely admit that I am a big proponent of the Point 2 Agent system. This should not be a surprise to any who read this blog on even a semi-regular basis. I’ve blogged here about Point 2’s [...]

Where Did the Week Go?!

February 13, 2007 Comments

Well, so much for my “blogolution” to not have long lapses between posts…
I know the throng of avid readers, if not the entire real estate blogiverse, is in a tizzy since there’s been no post here for a week. (that’s sarcasm if you’re new around here…)
I did get a couple of emails asking me if [...]

Another Blogger in the Epicenter

February 6, 2007 Comments

For whatever reason, I completely spaced on submitting an entry, clearing the way for others . Greg and Mary McKnight even get into a Latin exchange in the comments. I knew [...]

HouseValues Death Spiral

February 5, 2007 Comments

I will freely admit that I was once a “HouseValues Subscriber“. Well, technically that’s not true as a title company was the actual subscriber and they doled out “leads” from HouseValues to agents like me. Let’s re-phrase and say that I once had “The Full HV Experience”.
I got dozens of “leads”. Never earned a dime [...]

Listing Photo of the Week!

February 4, 2007 Comments

Looking through ARMLS (Arizona Multiple Listing Service) this morning and came across this gem. Please note, this is the PRIMARY photo — the one photo displayed with the listing info when it’s first pulled up.
Pretty compelling isn’t it?
Really highlights the home and just makes buyers and buyer agents want to line up to see the [...]
