There is no doubt that the last few weeks have been a challenge in many of our strongest real estate markets. In many places we have strong buyer demand, but are unable to satisfy that need because of the demand for social distancing. We have MLS services in some markets that are not allowing open […]
Q: “Denise, with social distancing and trying to adjust to this new normal, I guess I am finally going to have to get comfortable with video or at least using a web cam of some sort. Any suggestions?” A: That’s right! This is a great time to finally get comfortable and dive in! Here are […]
Of all the questions I get asked by agents, this one is always in my Top 3 list. Agents are good at giving me all kinds of reasons, excuses, and theories as to why their listings may not be selling. But there really are only two reasons: #1: Presentation and #2: Price.

However, it seems that the nervousness most real estate agents feel about being seen on video or the unknowns of the production side holds them back. Whatever has kept you from fully utilizing video in your business has […]
Q: Okay, Denise. I am taking the plunge. I am ready for video. But I am concerned that my double chin is going to take the stage. Help! A: I appreciate your honesty! I think just about everyone I talk to has a flaw of some sort they feel will be magnified on the screen, […]
