What are the ingredients which are effective regarding successful Open House newspaper ads which result in bringing many potential buyers to one's Sunday afternoon open house?
P.S. Can you share with me the design of a very successful real estate agent's website as well?
Thanks so very much!
Hi Dr. Bob,
I find that newspaper ads aren't as powerful as advertising on social media of MLS. I would suggest putting you ad on MLS, Craigslist, Facebook and Twitter since most buyers are looking online anyway. Good luck with your open house.
Cheers,
Hi there. I live in Virginia. I am looking to buy a home in the half a million range. I need to know a really good website where I can find homes from all over Northern Virginia. New and used.
I dont like the typical webistes I am finding. I want the gem.
Do you know of any? I have an agent but I also love to be independant and find things on my own.
Regards
Sarah

I've enjoyed 44 years as a real estate broker, educator and writer. Having recently written an ebook featuring tips on buying and selling distressed properties, I teach continuing education classes on foreclosures, auctions and short sales. Surprisingly, only about 10 percent of the agents attending my classes (MD/DC/VA) are comfortable in a buyer's market. Yet many market surveys indicate the savvy Investors who sold their inventories while prices were topping out are now searching to fill that void. With an extended housing glut, a pipeline flooded in delinquencies, servicers retrenching foreclosure activities due to MERS shortcuts and a mortgage securitization process that produced an off-the-balance-sheet shadow banking system, there is still time to discover that success is preparation meeting opportunity.

hello
you're blog rocks nice thesis set-up this will definitely what I want with our blog. One day soon, it is still pretty young around sell your house privately blog is 3 months old, would highly appreciate on how to have our blog look like this one.
thank you,
Tom, very good info on your site. I'll be subscribing. I like the diversity of topics you cover and your analysis of the market.
Just a suggestion: A Sacramento agent, broker and radio host just had a book published which focuses heavily on client recruitment and team building. Brent Gove (pretty well known as a speaker/agent) wrote, Momentum: A Strategic Guide to Success for Real Estate Agents and Brokers and two people have recommended it to me. I got a copy and while I'm only halfway through, he's a damn good writer and the information is focused and easy to follow. Lots of energy. It's not available as an E-book yet, but I think that is coming, as well. (ps: published by http://www.irishcanonpress.com (or something like that). ((Okay, just looked it up and that's where it is.) Oh, there's also a good bit of info on the value of DISC testing.

Open houses have been well-attended. A recent open house on our new listing was busy from the moment the door opened, until closing. Buyers were not only looking at the house, but talking about their plans to purchase. This represents a change from the general outlook during two thousand eleven, when buyers were more hesitant to express their desire to purchase. Thanks for sharing.
I follow Tom on twitter and he certainly doesn't sugar coat what's going on in the real estate market. I recommend following him and his blog.
Thanks for continually to post.. most blogs of this age throw in the towel since the market change.
My wife Amy and I are selling our home at 627 Doubletrace Lane in Peachtree City. We made a video I think you would love. You can check it out on Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/41141520. Hope you come see it.
Hey Tom, did I hear that you stopped blogging? That's a shame. What you can do instead of being burned out is to blog at your leisure and just have people find out by RSS. I'm sure you have a lot more to say.
Hello Tom Royce, nice to hear that you also blogger of real estate, i am also big fan of real estate blogging,but its sad to hear that you stopped blogging? May i know the reason???
