Although all the houses (and features) aren’t directly related to Tiny Homes, I just love this website, aptly named “Off Beat Homes” which displays unusual homes, details and treatments. I particularly like the idea of a tiny house with a fairytale styled roof. (Isn’t that sweet?!?!)
You may also enjoy looking at these unusual home and [...]
Web two-point-oh. You have been hearing about it several years and in 2007, it was EVERYONE’s favorite online buzzword.Now it’s 2008 and all you know is that you are supposed to be more “involved” online and that you probably need to sign up for a bunch of “social networking” sites and get some cool widgets [...]
The housing market slump has been fueled by the wave of foreclosures resulting from those “creative” mortgages in our recent past. Last week I talked with Jeff Aicken, a loan officer with Century Mortgage in Louisville, Kentucky to get a professional’s view in layman’s terms on what happened, how it happened, and what real estate [...]
In addition to the Real Estate keyword help I offered in an article on WickedWordCraft.com, I also found this cool “right here, right now” tool from SEO Book. Give it a spin!
Nope, not always. (But it is much more often than it should be!)
I just spoke with Russell Springs broker and real estate agent Kim Byrom of Lake Cumberland Properties who is the first real estate agent that actually tried to help me find a new office space. She is NOT the first one I contacted. [...]
With the constant droning buzz about social media and Internet communities, it can be pretty overwhelming to determine where you should spend your limited time and even more limited energy.
If you are considering joining some now, you should:
Select only a few - it’s better to do a few things really well than to “sort of” [...]
I have a client, a Realtor, with a particularly hairy situation. This genuinely nice individual has managed to become entrenched in the mire with a unethical builder. Normally, I’d find this situation incredible — but I’ve watched it develop and it has made me wary of such situations for my other clients.
I know that times [...]
I nominated two of my own clients for the RISMedia 50 Days of Leaders recognition. I’m happy to say that Diana Beam of SmoothMovesForSeniors and Miguel Berger of TechValleyHomes have placed in the top 50 Realtors in the states.
WordPress is extremely user-friendly. If you have ever hand-coded or altered or edited any HTML, it’s a snap. If you haven’t — you really need the easy-to-use interface… like WP. And widgets improve the ease of use factor.
What’s a Widget?
Widgets are tiny programs, usually with specific functions that people add to their desktops or (in [...]
The energy and enthusiasm of youth is amazing. It utilizes the leverage, strength, and sheer “force of will” to grow, mature and eventually to become self-sufficient. The same is true of your small business.
You watched in awe as your business grew. (Never mind the lack of sleep and the volume of work you endured to [...]
I wanted to be sure I could take my calendar information with me on my iPhone. Since I’m not a Microsoft Outlook user anymore, I had to find another way to sync up my information.
Recently, the latest calendar plug-in for Thunderbird (Lightning) was released and after the upgrade, I also added this Thunderbird plugin to [...]
Are you curious about WordPress as a publishing tool for your online success as a real estate professional? I was too. And I’ve been using WP on my own blog for some time now. I must say, I love it!
I’ve helped several clients switch over to WP. They love it. Currently I’m in the midst [...]
If you have a website, you need a custom 404 page.
Why?
Because there is nothing LESS “sticky” than a standard 404 page and you want a “sticky” site to retain visitors
Because you want to deliver the BEST personalized service to your clients online and face-to-face
Because you hate 404 pages yourself
Because getting a generic “Error 404: Page [...]
At the end of last year, I blogged about the buying power of women in the real estate arena over on ActiveRain. Now, having just made a move from the country (where I own a farm) to the city (where I’m begrudgingly renting for the next 18-24 months), I’m even more firm in my conviction [...]
You have learned about the importance of metatags and contextual keywords and are now ready to select a handful of your own. Would you like some help with the project?
I’ve assembled a list of resources to help you keyword your website by first researching keyword popularity. Since most tools only evaluate the popularity on a [...]
It’s been awhile since I’ve really “dug in” where SEO is concerned. Basically, I’ve been working under the assumption (a fairly good one, IMHO and in my humble experience online) that if you build good content, organize it well and use common sense when titling your articles, posts and web pages — that the readers [...]
Brian Brady, over on BloodHoundBlog.com urged Realtors to stop selling houses in a blog post this weekend. Amen, I say! The alternative? Build memories, of course! He says:
“Neighborhoods don’t have character, they have Characters. Weave these Characters into the stories you tell when you talk about your market. Characters are what entice us. They [...]
Want to call information for free? Willing to listen to a 15-second audio ad to avoid the usual information charges? Maybe you are out on your cell phone (like I was this weekend) and need some info to save drive time?
The technology playing field just expanded. A new multi-touch technology, incorporated into Microsoft’s Surface product, is due out before the end of the year. It’s being marketed as a corporate tool for restaurants, cell phone distributors, casinos and hotels on the Microsoft site.
As usual, when I see a great new tech tool, I begin to [...]
You want to blog. You may have already started to blog, but you worry about the content… and your concerns are being fed by reports of bloggers not having the same rights as journalists. You wonder:
What if I get in legal trouble?
What if someone sues me?
What if a typo changes something I’m trying to say?
How [...]
