You built websites, you populated blogs, you have attributed the photo's online with all the right keyword strategy, yet STILL the sign ins and Hits have dropped off. You study the Analytics, installed HOT spot observations, where are consumers looking on that page?
The back bone of your referral business has dried up...
What's happening?
Consumers, shoppers are no longer searching online and especially not for you.
They decide they are looking for a house, search out all the pertinent details about that neighbourhood and community, they search all the available listings; and then TALK WITH THEIR SPHERE OF INFLUENCE to gleen referrals from their friends and Social Media circle. Then they contact a realtor. Agents are recommending agents they met in social media chatrooms... Facebook Forums and Linked IN Topic rooms. I follow you on Twitter.
The people that are being recommended .... Are they Good? Experienced? Better than average agents?
Maybe, Maybe Not.
They are however being referred the business based on their likeability online.
We all want to date the cheer leader.... but we need to be out belly to belly, meeting people so that in our sphere of influence, our circle will recommend us as the best suited to buy or sell that house.
You hand out Video reviews of your past success
Now you need to turn off that computer, and go meet people face to face.
If you need someone in Toronto ON Canada Think of me.
We only have a few cigarettes a day - now...
We're trying to quit...
Its his house, and he should be able to smoke....
Does the lingering smell of cigarette odors impact the dollar value of a home's sale price?
Is repainting and new broadloom enough to change the smell?
What is your situation?
More than half of respondents — 56 per cent — said most buyers are less likely to purchase a home where people have smoked, and 27 per cent said most buyers are actually unwilling to buy a home where people have smoked.
In Canada, an estimated 15 per cent of homes have at least one regular smoker.
The study found that almost half, or 44 per cent of respondents, said smoking in the home affects resale value.
Of these, one in three said smoking in the home may lower the value by 10 to 19 per cent and a further one in three said it may lower the value by 20 to 29 per cent. http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/story/2013/04/16/business-smoking-housing.html?cmp=rss
As realtors we all have had properties with smokers; I recommend vinegar in pie plates placed around the property to suppress odors. BUT they keep smoking...
How do you handle it?

Refinancing your Mortgage? Why doesn't the bank give you their best deal the first time? They gamble you won't check the market.
Other Lenders will bid on the business so why not give them the chance.
The average mortgage in Toronto is 270,000K How does that compare with yours?

If they quote you 1% higher on a 300K line of credit secured as a Mortgage, You are paying $3,000 a year EXTRA for the next 5 years. Is your money EXTRA?
Is your mortgage renewal not the rate that you expected? #Toronto #Mortgage Just ping me here to get started.
