1. What is your first impression of the house and yard area?

2. What are the best exterior features of the house or lot? How can you enhance them?

3. What are the worst exterior features of the house or lot? How can you minimize or improve them?

Park where a potential buyer would and walk towards the house, looking around you as if it were your first visit. Is the approach clean and tidy? What could you do to make it more attractive?

Take photos of the home's exterior. If you have a digital camera, view the color versions first, then remove the color and look at it in black and white, because it's easier to see problems when color isn't around to affect our senses.

Make a list of the problem areas you discovered. Tackle clean up and repair chores first, then put some time into projects that make the grounds more attractive.

• Kill mold and mildew on the house, sidewalks, roof, or driveway.

• Stow away unnecessary garden implements and tools.

• Clean windows and gutters.

• Pressure wash dirty siding and dingy decks.

• Edge sidewalks and remove vegetation growing between concrete or bricks.

• Mow the lawn. Get rid of weeds.

• Rake and dispose of leaves, even if your lot is wooded.

• Trim tree limbs that are near or touching the home's roof.

What do the letters after your name mean?

I was talking to one of my newest agents the other day and she got me really thinking. She had seen somewhere that I have an MBA, but it is not on my business card. She asked me why? My response was that I had too many designations to list on a small business card. She then told me that I took the most important one off. Her thought was that the general public knew MBA but did not know CDPE, CRS, LMC, ABR, e-Pro, SRES etc. Could this be true? I now want to collect data on this. If you are reading this blog, would you take a quick survey?

Thank You!!! I will post the results in another blog.

It's that time of year where people are reflecting on the year gone by, and trying to figure out what they will be doing next year.  They are setting their New Years Resolutions sort of speak, only for their business.

 You quite often hear people this time of year state they are doing planning; only to find out they are really setting goals. "What is the difference?" you may ask.

A goal is a projected computation of affairs that a person plans or intends to achieve. It is similar to purpose of aim.  A goal is the anticipated result which guides reaction, or an end which is the object.

A plan is typically any procedure used to achieve an objective. It is a set of intended actions, through which one expects to achieve a goal.

In order to do Business Planning, you start with goal setting.  Once you identify the desired outcome, you develop the plan to achieve them. 

A goal with out a plan is as useless as a plan with out a goal.  However, when you put the two together, you have a winning tool!!!
