ActiveRain....Could You Quit Making It So Hard for Me to Blog....Good Grief!

Just kiddiing....of course! I love blogging and being on ActiveRain.....but I'm so busy with my business that I don't have time to do the thing I love the most. I'm a work in progress however and taking action to correct all of this. It's fun being busy however, I hate missing what everyone is doing. So we are making new partnerships to help with the business activity while we focus on the business development. It is once again coming together and there are solutions being put in place and the hope that I will be back soon with my attention on ActiveRain and all that is going on. I just love it.

The only problem is our business keeps growing because everything I do here in the RAIN results in more business. Not a bad thing but I want to be here and blogging my little head off...it is my favorite thing. I love my ActiveRain family.....so to all the AR Staff and Members....I'm so glad to be here and it is such a pleasure!

Oh and ActiveRain....I'm really good with more business....not a problem...I'll find a way to blog! We are growing out team and our business. So here is just a plain thank you all over the place!

Even Great Warriors Die In Battle

David Krushinsky provides us with a look into the future of mortgage lending and it IS NOT pretty. This is the reality and it may not get better but worse. Thanks David for a great post!

Via David Krushinsky (WJ Bradley Mortgage Capital Corp. Phoenix, AZ BKBR-0115165):

For many, 2010 will undoubtedly prove to be one of the toughest years in the mortgage industry. The underwriting guidelines still continue to change daily, government regulation and intervention is at an all-time high, legislation is being proposed to change compensation models for Loan Originators, more fraud verification policies are being put in place to protect lenders adding confusion, borrowers are forced to jump through ridiculous hoops and great mortgage professionals are exiting our industry in droves. Let me repeat that.... "Great" mortgage professionals are exiting our industry, not "Good", but "Great".

 I'm sure you know how we got where we are at, but do you really know where we are at? Everyday I speak with my friends from markets across the United States that are considering changing careers. The same questions come up, "How is it possible to create a great experience for a borrower with this environment?" I don't pretend to know the answer because, in my opinion, there isn't one.

  • Telling your borrower three months after closing they need to provide proof they've personally paid a credit card on their credit report for 12 months, showing their bank statements for the last 12 months. How and why would they have trust and confidence to refer their friends and family?
  • When you receive a loan approval with 45 prior to doc conditions, then it takes 45 minutes to explain why so much documentation is needed. How are your clients to have the trust and confidence to refer their friends and family?
  • Loan guidelines forcing Mortgage Professionals to order two appraisals on a property, after one has already been received $14,000 above selling price. How are today's clients to have trust and confidence to refer their friends and family when they feel they've been mistreated and forced to pay excessive costs?

When this happens over and over and over on every transaction, why would Real Estate Professionals continue to refer their clients? It's simple... they don't. They move on to the next Loan Officer. Your past clients don't refer you anymore. You soon realize you don't have a passion for this industry anymore and "Even Great Warriors Die In Battle."

For those that make it through this, we are the survivors, we are the fighters and we are the ones who will shape the perception of this industry so many love. Live the Dream - Carpe diem quam minime credula postero!

Redding CA - Taking ActiveRain for a Ride to My Listing Appointment - My Team Markets to the World!

Listing AppointmentI have a listing appointment today with a very important client. I want the listing and I'm getting the listing. I have a very competent partner in my business presentation. When you have the best in the business, you can afford to feel confident in offering your client a compelling and engaging proposition for why they want to do business with you and ActiveRain your Team.

I often times tell my clients that ActiveRain my team markets to the world. ActiveRain my team provides the best opportunity to market and sell properties. ActiveRain my team has the best and most up-to-date trending news in the Real Estate Industry. I always provide my clients a list of my websites and blogsites and ActiveRain is at the top and in bold. Now at this point I've let ActiveRain out of the closet so to speak and can begin to build knowledge and awareness for my client of just how powerful my partner is.

I don't talk much about the other blog sites because they are just niche market blogs that allow me to target a specific local area or out of the area Buyers for my listings. I USE ACTIVERAIN AS MY BASE in marketing to all markets. It all starts with ActiveRain and then is distributed out to other market segments.

My presentation begins with ActiveRain and how the forum works. I am able to show my clients what a well-written post looks like and why it is effective. I can show the market statistics on each post and how many people have viewed the post.

We take a tour of Localism and explain how it builds a repository of information on a local community or Redding Localismtown. I can show them market reports on their community and how I promote living in the community to the world. I show them how many contacts I have gotten on listings and from where. They are not all local but come from Hawaii, Mexico, Canada, Washington, Oregon, Texas, New Hampshire, and so on. I have had calls from England, Japan, India and Russia.

I show my clients the Custom IDX solution that all my websites use to help clients look for and find listings. Buyers are able to set up an account and save searches and receive custom emails by their own design. I don't require that anyone fill out a form. It is free to anyone for their use and helps me get listings sold.

My IDX is sponsored on 11 communities and Cities here in Redding and Shasta County. When you click on "search for properties" on the Localism Cities and Communities that I sponsor....you are directed to my website and IDX system. We provide maps and dynamic links to all the Active Listings for that Community. Guess what...your Community is one I sponsor and all this powerful opportunity can be utilized to sell you home.

My marketing plan has all the traditional local marketing things outlined for my client. The grand finale is all about the future of Internet Marketing and how it is critical to the future of real estate. The ever changing real estate market is made available to us though ActiveRain with shared knowledge and advice from Industry Experts. It is all available on ActiveRain. The Industry news is there for us each and every day. We have the edge and we will be taking advantage of it all.

ActiveRain LogoLet me introduce my partner. Please meet ActiveRain. I would not be who I am today without my relationship with this powerful partner that I have. Let's get started on listing your home and let the marketing begin!

Redding CA - Spring is Just Around the Corner - Yeah Spring!

My Ornamental Flowering Pear tree is in full blossoming glory right now and as we left yesterday....David punched me and said "Aren't you going to take a photo of that tree that I pruned so nicely!". Well, what could I do but stop and take a photo of the lovely tree in full bloom.

I have to say that I'm really ready for Spring and all her Glory! I love seeing the trees coming out and the spring bulbs blooming. Being such business working Realtor type people, we don't have time to plant them ourselves and so later today....I'm wandering over to my neighbors house to photograph her pretty spring flowering bulbs. Soon, very soon, I shall plant some of my own.

I digress and so here is the photo of my lovely Flowering Pear Tree.

Redding CA - Winter Shot of the Sacramento River and the Sundial Bridge!

Redding CA - Winter Shot of the Sacramento River and the Sundial Bridge--My husband and I love to stop by The Sacramento River when we are out and about. We have many favorite stopping places in which we spend some time with The River.These are our haunts and we always manage to make these stops to be with The River and to also manage a shot or two. We both carry our cameras everywhere.

I took this shot yesterday at Turtle Bay. We were out at the Gun Show at the Convention Center. We were looking for my birthday present....that .38 I've always wanted. It's turning in to more than I bargained for, however. David is now wanting all kinds of new toys and I'm like....ok...it's my birthday wish....butt out!

Anyway....very few hand guns....so we did not stay long. Turtle Bay is very near the Convention Center and so we spent some time at The River. Here is my Winter Shot of The Sacramento River and the Sundial Bridge.

Rockin' out with Pixie Lott - Celebration of Love!

This is for my boy....who left this world on March 18, 2008....I miss him so...he taught me so much about music...he was a great eclectic lover of music and while I don't know for sure that he would like this song...it calls to me with him in mind. He was my teacher and protector in so many ways. Here's one for you, Christopher....love ya baby!

Note* This is not meant to be sorrowful but rather a celebration of life. We have little time here to make a positive statement. Our dearest loves, our achievements, our joys and our loses bring to us the experience of who we are. We have choices. We open our hearts and we allow or we close our hearts and die. I have embraced my faith in all that is good and right and find only joy and celebration of a beautiful soul....my son! Please celebrate with us in the memory of our son.
