By Stan Barron, REALTOR® and Contributing Editor - October 23, 2012April 7, 2017

Last Updated on April 7, 2017 I’d like to tell you about one of the most interesting real estate transactions I have been involved with in a while.

Everyone, and in particular real estate agents, is very nervous about a house that ends up …

Do You Make This Mistake When Marketing A Home?

By Stan Barron, REALTOR® and Contributing Editor - October 13, 2012April 7, 2017

Last Updated on April 7, 2017 The first step in writing an effective ad to sell a house is to stop using “me-too” flyers. This is the biggest mistake I see when I hear a home is not selling.

The Secret To Selling “Problem” Listings

By Stan Barron, REALTOR® and Contributing Editor - January 10, 2012April 7, 2017

Last Updated on April 7, 2017 I spoke at the National Convention for NAR this year and really drilled home a controversial idea… The bedrock of all sales training is dead wrong! Agents are pressured by management — and many sales trainers — with the idea that we must ALWAYS project “positive” messages. One agent approached me after my speaking session. Naturally, he was skeptical …

“How I Sold a 7-Month FSBO In 32 Days” (Case Study)

By Michael Krisa, Executive Editor - September 12, 2011April 24, 2017

Last Updated on April 24, 2017 By Tom Horst, REALTOR® I practice real estate in Pennsylvania and like most markets today it’s difficult to sell listings. It usually takes months, or the price has to be reduced several times before someone comes forward and places an offer. I used to think the main problem was not enough qualified buyers. That is a challenge, but homes …

By Stan Barron, REALTOR® and Contributing Editor - December 9, 2010April 7, 2017

Last Updated on April 7, 2017 You’ve heard of the research firm called Gallup, right? They’ve studied human nature and behavior for more than 75 years. And even in their early days, they knew that respondents do not always give reliable feedback. In face-to-face surveys about radio, Gallup’s people would start by asking, “Which would you rather hear on the radio tonight—Jack Benny or a …

The Three M’s of Marketing Success

By Michael Krisa, Executive Editor - June 7, 2010April 7, 2017

Last Updated on April 7, 2017 Have you ever spent hundreds of dollars and countless hours on an ad or mailing program, only to stare at your silent phone? If so, you’re not alone. Most agents spend an enormous amount of time learning about “real estate”, but very little learning about the “elements” that turn your advertising (or any marketing or prospecting efforts) from a …
