Building lasting relationships by helping people move in and out of Metrowest Massachusetts for the last 24 years.

                                                                                                                                                        

Working as a Massachusetts Realtor for the past twenty four years, I have seen just about everything. For Gods sake when I started in the business we carried around a huge MLS book with all the listings that was almost as heavy as an encyclopedia. There was no Internet back then.

In fact in the mid 1980's we did not even have the modern convenience of a fax machine for a while. Back then when you needed something signed you had to hand deliver it! In many respects things are a lot easier today.

While there have been quite a few changes over the years in the Real Estate business, the one thing that continues to amaze me is how consumers go about picking a Realtor to represent them in the sale of their home.

I am going to bet that most top producing Realtors that are interviewed probably get the listing somewhere between 85-90% of the time. What about the other 10-15%? How many times have you done a presentation for someone selling their home and you did not get the listing?

While monitoring the daily updates for new properties hitting the market you notice the home which you interviewed for has just been added to MLS. You check to see who has listed the property and your immediate reaction is ....WTF??? Sorry to be so braizen but it's true!

If you are a Realtor reading this article you can probably empathize with me.

You look at the Realtors name and you either have never heard of the person before or you know they don't do a lick of business.

Just to torture yourself a little further you check out the listing and see the following:

• There are only a couple of pictures of the house posted in MLS.

• The quality of the photo's absolutely SUCKS. It is obvious to you
  the agent picked up a disposable Kodak camera on the way to take pictures.

• You read the description of the property and there is barely anything of value. It clearly looks like the agent didn't care and just
  wrote anything to fill the space. Of course there is also either bad
  grammar, spelling mistakes, or the use of abbreviations that buyers have no clue what they stand for.

 

At this point you may have steam coming out your ears but you decide to go to Google the agents name. Clearly you are expecting to see at least a website the agent owns that markets their listings to potential buyers. NOPE...you see nothing...ZIPPO.

You don't even bother but you know if you head over to some of the most visited Real Estate sites on the internet like Realtor.com, Zillow.com or Trulia.com, the agent will not have done anything to "enhance" the listing by adding extra photos and having detailed descriptions showing off all the best features of your home.

This is what happens in the 1st week of your relationship with the Realtor you just chose because they either did one of the following:

1.) Lied to you about the value of your home and you believed them.

2.) They charged you 1/2 percent less on the commission everyone else was quoting you. You think you saved money but you just cost yourself BIG TIME because you always get what you pay for in life.

 

You see a REAL good Realtor doesn't need to do these things to win business. A true professional goes the extra mile in everything they do. They have a passion for their work and it shows.

So if you are going to be selling your home and meeting with a Real Estate agent you better ask good Realtor interview questions. Don't get stuck with the Realtor clown above! Do your home work. I can almost guarantee you things are going to get worse from here.

I think most would agree having a burger from a steakhouse is better than McDonald's. It works the same way picking a Realtor as well. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________

If you have ever read my blog articles you know that I am proud of the fact that both my Massachusetts Real Estate website and blog can be found in most local Real Estate searches. Some of the content I provide my readers is also much more broad in nature and will also be found for more national related topics like Real Estate capital gains for example.

When we create content online sometimes the places people find you can be VERY far reaching. What has to be the most bizarre piece of mail I have ever received arrived today in my work mail box!

The letter came from a jail in Kentucky and was clearly marked so on the front of the envelope with "Inmate mail not responsible for the content". I have provided the letter below for your enjoyment with the gentleman's name crossed out. 

Apparently I am this inmates Realtor of choice for finding a nice piece of land up in Maine! I know my Real Estate friends up in Maine are probably salivating over the chance to land this referral since I am not licensed in Maine - LOL

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

            

Just to be clear the gentleman did not indicate when he will be out of the slammer. Because of my generous nature I am willing to pass this on to any Maine Realtor for a very low referral fee of only 5% - LOL

Of course I am going to request that you bring mace, Ginsu knives, and take a few lessons in karate. After all I will be expecting to be paid and that will not happen if you don't make it out of the woods alive:)

Building lasting relationships by helping people move in and out of Metrowest Massachusetts for the last 24 years.

 

 

I will admit right up front this post is a shameless plug that shows if you put your mind to it you can succeed in any kind of Real Estate market.

Before I ever wrote my 1st blog article which was in July of 2007, I was a pretty decent Realtor. In fact this will be the 3rd time I have made it into the Top 100 RE/MAX teams in the country.

As of the end of November my team is ranked #91 in the United States for RE/MAX. I won't know for a few months if I managed to stay in the top 100 for the entire year but it would be nice.

The other couple times I made this list of top RE/MAX agents I was ranked at #48 and #50. This was back at the hey day of the Real Estate market in the beginning of the decade.

 

By clinking the link you can see the entire list of the RE/MAX Top 100 Teams Through November 2009. My team is currently ranked as the #2 RE/MAX team in Massachusetts.

                                                                

The way I generate business these days is very different than before I started to blog. Almost everyone that is in the Real Estate business realizes that consumers start the home search process online.

In fact the latest statistics suggest that in many parts of the country 90% of buyers start their home search and eventually find a property by using the Internet as a tool. Gone are the days where Realtors rely on newspapers and magazines to make the phone ring.

As technology has advanced over the last decade, it was easy to see this coming. Staying ahead of the curve is always something I have attempted to do. There are probably a few Realtors who are reading this and thinking to themselves "I saw it coming too."

The Internet is changing the way many businesses operate not just Real Estate. When someone needs a good plumber, electrician, lawyer, ect and they don't have a good reference guess where they go? Hint... it is usually not the Yellow Pages anymore.  

One of the biggest common denominators for some of the best Realtors today is how well they market a clients home. Those that understand the internet and marketing in general, tend to hold their own despite the market forces.                                                                               

In many businesses there is an 80/20 rule in place that says 80% of the of the business will be done by 20% of the people.

Did you know that in the Real Estate industry 94% of the business is done by 6% of the agents? That is just a staggering figure!! Is it any wonder why there is so much dissatisfaction amongst consumers?

On many occasions it is the consumers own fault because they assume incorrectly that all Realtors are created equal and we all do the same things to get a home sold.

This poor line of thinking is further compounded by the fact that many people will make a terrible selection by picking the Realtor that gives them the highest price for their property. In other words the Realtor that LIES to them about their homes true value. This could all be avoided if more consumers took the time to ask good Real Estate interview questions.

When you ask the right questions it is much harder to get caught with your pants down!

Getting back to my original point about how powerful a search tool the Internet has become led me to start putting some serious effort into creating a Real Estate website that would not only be found online but dominate local Real Estate searches. If you want to see what I mean just Google

• Metrowest MA Real Estate
• Hopkinton MA Real Estate
• Holliston MA Real Estate

as a few quick examples. These are the type of search terms consumers will make when thinking about Real Estate in my area. In fact you will find my website and or blog on the 1st page of Google for over ten different towns in my immediate area. If a consumer is ready to talk to a Realtor right now, the search term will more than likely be something like top Hopkinton MA Realtor.

The integration of my website and blog have been tailored into a complete social media marketing strategy which I would love to explain further but this article will become endless if I do:) Facebook and Twitter are two quick examples of ways my blog and website are further disseminated beyond just the search engines.

So when you are thinking about hiring your next Realtor why not look for one that embraces the Internet? You will be glad you did!!

2009 was an outstanding year and I would like to take this moment to thank all my clients, customers, colleagues and friends who made it all possible.

I would encourage you to come over to my Massachusetts Real Estate blog where I provide informational articles pertaining to lots of relevant Real Estate topics.
