A few blogs posts from my past

October 22, 2007 by

I originally posted this back in July on the Active Rain Real Estate Network. At that time I was pretty excited about becoming an ABR and SRES instructor. I wrote the post and inserted lots of links that take you to other articles I’ve written. It’s sort of like a journal and a passage of sorts. I look back at some my early blog posts and cringe a bit…but hey that’s me…my words and my feelings.

I’m off teaching NHAR’s Quick Start program for the next two days and then Jay and I are driving to Pennsylvania for the Penn State/Ohio State game. Plus the RedSox are going to the world series! What a weekend it will be for us!

See you next week!

It’s Offical I’m an ABR and SRES Instructor!

July 2007

As some of you know I’ve been working my way through the instructor certification process required by REBAC to become an ABR and SRES instructor.

It took a while but I have completed both the required one day course in DC and the two day course in St Louis and the dreaded tests.

Thankfully I passed both tests and now I’m finally “certified”…YIPPEE!

Caution…Can’t be a Designated Agent yet

October 17, 2007 by

But we’re getting closer…

Today with a standing room only crowd the New Hampshire Association of REALTORS board of directors voted to pass the recommended proposed Designated Agency legislation with some added language presented by the Exclusive Buyer agents. The language added appears in Italics below.

XII. Dual agency does not occur in firms that represent buyers only who have appointed designated buyers’ agents, or firms that represent sellers only who have appointed designated sellers’ agents within the firm.

It passed with hardly a whimper as a jammed room of state directors and visitors alike listened to a brief presentation and then cast a vote.

They cast a vote for all of us today and most importantly for the public. The consumer will finally, if this passes through legislation, get the representation they deserve!

How sweet it will be!

Caution…You Can Not act as a Designated Agent yet….If and I do mean If we get through the legislation process we’re looking at maybe 2009 before it becomes law! So Please don’t think you can do it now!

I’ll keep you updated as we go along. Feel free to post a comment or a question and I’ll do my best to get you the answer.

So you think you’re alone now…

But are you really?

Sometimes I hear stories that just leave me wondering.

A listing agent met a Co-broker and her clients at her listing to do a showing. During the showing it was readily apparent that the home did not meet the buyers needs.

While standing in the kitchen talking about the home the listing agent mentioned another listing that she had just listed. One that she thought would better suit the buyers.The home was in excellent condition was priced competitively and had everything the buyers seemed to be looking for. She suggested that they go take a look at it as it was easy to show.

ABR and SRES instructor

October 1, 2007 by

It’s Offical I’m an ABR and SRES Instructor!

As some of you know I’ve been working my way through the instructor certification process required by REBAC to become an ABR and SRES instructor.

It took a while but I have completed both the required one day course in DC and the two day course in St Louis and the dreaded tests.

Thankfully I passed both tests and now I’m finally “certified”…YIPPEE!

ABR and SRES are both National Association of REALTORS designations.  They are multi-day courses and are offered across the country.

I’m very willing to travel and my rates are great…so keep me in mind if you’re looking for a REBAC instructor.

I’m pretty excited about this as I already teach some of the GRI courses for my state as well as their 4 day new agent training program called Quick Start.

I have been involved in real estate training for many years at many levels. In fact earlier this year Jay and I opened our very own small training center in Hampstead NH.

I think walking the walk…working in real estate sales these past 23 years has really helped me in my teaching. I can relate to what my students go through and what they need to do to survive in real estate on a daily basis.

My practical skills bring a real world touch to all my classes, while Pie in the sky is nice and pretty, real world makes the real difference.

Being able to add ABR and SRES to my list of course offerings is really exciting for me. I’m ready to expand beyond the New England States.  How very exciting that is!
