31 Days of December Challenge - Days 30 & 31

Day 30 - Wrote my last market report for Lindenhurst NY. Wrote day 29 post for the 31 Days of December Challenge. Where did December go anyway? Also called my clients to wish them a Happy New Year!

Day 31 - I'll be updating my website this morning. Then Hubby and I are going to Manhattan to see the King Tut Exhibition. Downside: they will not allow anyone to take photos. Now that would have made for an awesome post! I'll write a post about it but without photos of King Tut, it's not going to be the same.

Happy New Year everyone!

31 Days of December Challenge - Day 20 & 21

challenges in real estate

31 Days of December Challenge - Day 20 & 21

Day 20 - Started my day off by writing 4 real estate market reports for Lindenhurst NY, West Babylon, Babylon and North Babylon. I still have to do four more for last week. My goal is to get them done today! I also wrote post #19 for the 31 Days of December Challenge. And called 10 people from my SOI list.

Day 21 - Dealt with an offer on one of my listings. I can't go into details about it now but it's going to make for a great blog post in the future!

Made red velvet cupcakes for my office party that we had last night. I make them homemade so it took all morning between baking them and making the cream cheese frosting.

Spoke with a client yesterday to discuss heating issues. They were quoted $1,000 to have the unit fixed. The person told them they need a new relay. Huh? Their heating system is not old by any means. So, I had my former Master Plumber boss come in and turns out they do not need a new relay. Ya think! It cost them $250.00. All that was needed was the connectors in the relay had to be...............cleaned. Yep, that's right, cleaned. My clients were very happy. They were also a little ticked off that someone else quoted them more money for something they didn't even need. I just knew something wasn't right and I'm glad I went with my instincts. Thanks to my former boss for teaching me a lot about plumbing! My clients couldn't thank me and him enough.

I spent yesterday early morning in court with a client. I was really there for moral support but also could have been called as a witness. No, it's nothing bad. The case was adjourned to January 2011 which my client was disappointed about. I can't go into details but this will also make for a great future blog post. My client's family member said I'm doing more than I should be doing as a real estate agent. Doesn't matter. If my clients need me, then I'm there. No questions asked.

See you all tomorrow!

31 Days of December Challenge - Day 19

century 21 aa realty jackie connelly fornuff

31 Days of December Challenge - Day 19

Started my day at 10 a.m. by going to a client's home to re-take a photo of the bedroom. The original photo didn't come out that great. It was all bed. So, my client gave me a short step ladder and amazingly it worked! Taking a photo up higher, made all the difference! I took 3 shots and used the best one. I'm very picky with photos. Can't have them blurry or dark. Small spaces are a challenge too. Their bedroom is not small it's just how it's laid out that was the challenge.

Wrote a market report post for Babylon NY. I was a week behind. Been doing extra marketing for 2 new listings and that has to come first.

Scheduled an open house for my listing in Lindenhurst NY on North 6th Street. It's a month in advance so that should give it great exposure ahead of time! I'll even be serving hot cocoa since the open house will be in the middle of January 2011.

That is all for now. Until tomorrow, have an awesome day!

31 Days of December Challenge - Day 15

jackie connelly fornuff century 21 aa

31 Days of December Challenge - Day 15

Day 14 - Wrote a post for day 14 for the 31 Days of December challenge. Worked on my 2011 business plan for a few hours. Spoke with a few current clients about what is going on in the market this month. It's starting to slow down so I wanted to make sure they knew why.

Made a list of what listings will have open houses next month. I want to plan ahead so that the open house dates get long exposure before it happens. Finished videos for my new co-op listing. Will upload them to AR, Facebood and Youtube once that listing hits the MLS which should be today. Delivered a few more poinsettia plants. Plant delivery will be complete by Saturday. And wrote 4 market reports for Babylon, West Babylon, North Babylon and Lindenhurst NY. That was for 2 weeks ago. Yep, I'm a little behind, lol. And I just realized, December is half over and Christmas is 9 days away. Where does the time go?!

 31 Days of December Challenge - Days 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11

Day 6 - Wrote a post about drinking and driving during the holidays.Called buyer leads and printed marketing materials for my listings. Took a new listing in Copiague, NY with water-views!

DAY 7 - Wrote 2 posts. One was about how lucky I am to be working with great homeowners and the other about my Open House success from last Sunday. Called more buyer leads for 2 hours.

Day 8 - Sat with my great Broker for a meeting about my 2011 business plan.I told him that I love being a listing agent and that is my focus. He gave me great ideas and I walked away feeling really great about 2011! Going to focus also on getting my CRS (certified residential specialist). Went to 8 expired listings and not one person was home so I left my brochures.

Day 9 - Spent half the day writing more holiday cards to current clients and colleagues. Updated my contact list. Called leads for 2 hours.

Day 10 - Spent the good part of the day trying to fix my wireless router. Discovered it just wasn't working. If that doesn't work, then I do not work!

Day 11 - Went on a listing presentation. This homeowner called me from a postcard mailing from August 2010. Got the listing. That makes 2 new listings this week! And this new client couldn't be nicer! It is in the Fisherman's Wharf Co-op Development in West Babylon, NY.

31 Days of December Challenge - Days 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5

31 Days of December Challenge - Days 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5

Day 1 - Wrote 2 real estate market reports, knocked on 13 expired listings, worked on my holiday card list for clients, customers, SOI and other contacts I have made this past year.

Day 2 - Wrote 2 real estate market reports, and the rest of my day was filled with negotiating an offer on a home that has been listed for less than 2 weeks! We are close. Started writing out my holiday cards.

Day 3 - Previewed homes for some of my buyers. Made appointments to view homes for a buyer I'm seeing on Saturday. Delivered some poinsettia plants to clients, customers and some contacts I have made this year. It made their day! Printed expired listings in order to mail out letters to them. Visited someone on my SOI and gave them a Christmas card and a poinsettia plant. We sat and talked for about a half hour about her nieces and nephews that she loves so much! I really enjoy our visits together and told her I will stop by more often.

Days 4 - Spent 1/2 the day calling buyer leads. Called 36 potential buyers and spoke with 18. Some bought homes, some haven't. Some are cleaning their credit and others are waiting after the holidays. Showed a few homes to a new buyer. Went to my office for Santa Day. This is where area residents come with their children to visit Santa and have their picture taken with him. Then we go and hand-deliver to photos in a frame to them. We had 208 families come in all. It was a great day!

Day 5 - Held 2 open houses. Had an agent in my office do 1. She is a newer agent and this home is a new listing of mine and I gave it to her so she can get some buyer leads and I did the other. She had no people come and I felt bad. It does happen though. My open house on N. 6th Street in Lindenhurst NY had a great turnout once again. 10 couples and 3 singles. Not bad for a cold Lindenhurst NY day!
