Poor service
I met a nice couple today who are in the process of acclimating themselves to our market. Planning to send a few properties that meet their basic needs/wants in the Crozet area, I am sending them some active and under contract properties….

Two questions – why do Realtors not put at least one picture in the MLS and two, why do Sellers not insist on better service?

Great marketing plan
My mom and I went on a listing presentation this evening for a corporate relocation of a State Farm employee…. It felt good to be able to match some awards and accolades with her; she has been in the business for most of my life and I am finally building my own referral business and accolades. When asked whether we have a website besides the basic MLS, I was able to rattle off our main website, Jduncanrealestate.com, this blog, Century 21 Manley’s site, Century 21’s site … I forgot to mention the links through Visualtour’s site, Homegain’s site and Yahoo’s listings.
