Survey of Listings, III
February 21st, 2009 Categories: For Buyers, For Sellers, Lilburn
If you want to follow along, here are parts I and II.
Once again, I took a meandering walk through the new listings in Lilburn for the last 30days. As I wandered through, I was particularly looking for quantity of pictures and virtual tours. The reason I was concentrating on those items was all about research that EVERY real estate agent should be familiar with regarding buyer behavior. Read the rest of this entry »

February 12th, 2009 Categories: For Buyers, For Sellers
I posted a couple of weeks ago about Diamond Dwellings sponsoring a Town Hall meeting about real estate in Gwinnett County. Well… we have upgraded the status of the meeting.
It was just announced today that Lt. Governor Casey Cagle will be at the meeting. This is the first of a series of meetings in Gwinnett County to talk about real estate and the general economy in 2009.
Meeting details are available here. The meeting will be at Hamilton Mill on Tuesday, February 17th, from 6pm to 8pm.
Of course I will be there…

Thank you all…
February 3rd, 2009 Categories: For Buyers, For Sellers, Lilburn
It has been pretty busy here the last couple of days.
The AJC (Atlanta Journal – Constitution) did a feature on me 
in the business section Sunday. The online version actually was visible on Friday, and I started getting emails and tweets and messages on FaceBook from folks around the country that know me through social networking.
On Saturday, word had gotten out, though FaceBook especially (I posted a link… after I got it from a vendor in Seattle) and my local friends started responding.
Sunday morning I woke up to several emails, some phone calls and more social network messages. And it has continued today.
I would like to thank everyone.
I have spent a good portion of the day looking at listings that sellers (and a few agents) have sent me from around Atlanta of their multi-car garage homes. I have kept a pretty close eye on Gwinnett County for a few years, but many of these were outside of my normal search parameters. And it is always fun to look…
If you missed it, here is a link to the article.
I guess I do need to toot my horn… I can’t expect everyone to have seen it already. And I AM very pleased and flattered that Michael Pearson decided I would be a good subject.
More importantly, the reaction to the article has shown me the power of social networking and internet marketing and reputation management. My name travelled far and fast. As did the names of companies/networks I mentioned.
It is important to know that is being said in order to apologize, thank or correct the person saying it.
Thanks again, and feel free to give me a shout if you have questions or comments… or if you are looking for a “garage home”. And the home in the picture IS available.
