Are You Ready For Mobile

April 22, 2015 by

MobileAs of yesterday Google’s mobile search algorithm has changed to emphasize web sites that are mobile-friendly.

From REALTOR.org

If your site isn’t optimized and easy to use for mobile users, it will likely get less traffic and go down in the search rankings when people use their mobile devices.

A site is mobile-friendly if it’s fast loading, features readable text without zooming, properly sizes content and photos so the user doesn’t have to scroll sideways, and has links that are easy to click.

Need more information about how these Google Mobile changes will impact you click this REALTOR.ORG Mobile Ready article

NARTechEdge Burlington Vermont

April 4, 2015 by

IMG_0146NARTechEdge was recently held in Burlington Vermont.  There were over a hundred participants and about 80% of those were from Vermont. I meet folks from all over Mass,NH,Maine and beyond the borders of New England.  The event brought back fond memories of the REBarCamps that I have attended.  TechEdge was more organized with an agenda and set speakers where as BarCamps the agenda is set by the participants the morning of the event as are the speakers.  Both events are on my “Not To Miss” list of events when held within a reasonable distance.  That said we, my hubby Jay, fellow REALTOR and friend Ann Cummings and I drove to Virginia to attend a REBarCamp and I have flown to Philadelphia along with Ann just to attend one.

Back in the day, Bar Camps were full of cutting edge information and I loved the sharing of tech tips, tools and best practice that I gained form fellow attendees and session leaders.

I think it’s time to bring one of these events to NH….what say you?

Skill Based Real Estate Training

Skill Based Real Estate Training

I love skill building workshops, small groups or large, the joy of seeing the light shine in new agents eyes as they “get it” and feeling their excitement just totally makes my day.

We just finished the January session of BHHS Verani University and are in the middle of our on going skill building sessions with a fantastic group of newly licensed agents.

If you are new agent please don’t under estimate the importance of on-going training and mentoring. I would be more than happy to discuss the reason why that is so important with you before you make the decision to affiliate with a firm.  You’ve worked so hard to get your license, so don’t take a short cut to success.

Call me at 603-548-7728 or stop by and visit me at BHHS Verani Realty at One Verani Way Londonderry NH.

Don’t just take my word for it…listen to what some of our newly licensed agents are saying.
