AAACCHHOOOO!!!! (And other bodily functions...)

2009-07-30T08:05:00.000-07:00

Like many people, I suffer from seasonal hay fever. And, like many people, I start stocking up on drugs, Kleenex, and eye drops in about March so I have enough on hand by May that I can survive until September. The medicine cabinet in my house looks like the allergy aisle in Walgreens.Allergies, as a whole, are a pain in the butt. I have had them my entire life. I had them so bad that, from the time I was 5 until I was 17, I had to have shots weekly to help build up my immune system enough to where walking past a horse in a field didn’t throw me into a an asthmatic fit or cause my eyes swell shut from the histamine reaction.

On a side note...I once got a horse hair in my eye. I nearly died. I had to be given adrenalyn to stop the reaction before my airway shut off completely. I am still deathly allergic to horses. Not a good combination for a kid growing up in rural western Montana!

“Sanity” and “Happiness” can be difficult to achieve when you are coughing, sneezing, sniffing, wheezing. So, because of my severe allergies, I have had to learn all kinds of short-cuts and inexpensive changes to help eliminate my risk of having an allergy attack throughout the year, not just in summer.

Here is a short list of things that I did in my bedroom to help me become less likely to have an allergy attack at night (which is usually when I got hit because I didn’t take medicine before bed).

When planning your bedroom, or re-designing it to make it as allergy-proof as possible, you need to:

* Use low VOC paint (VOC is short for volatile organic compound)
* Get an allergen-free mattress, box spring, and bedding
* Use pillows and comforters that are filled with fiberfill, not down or feathers.
* If you want carpet, use something with a very dense weave to it. Better yet, skip the carpet and get hardwood floors!
* Avoid ‘stuffies’ like the plague!
* Add new weather stripping to all doors and windows. If you can afford it, replace your old, inefficient windows with new windows.

All of these steps will help eliminate your allergy risk by measured amounts. But, without proper maintenance, you will only be safe for a short period of time.

So, on a regular schedule, you should:

* Wash bed linens at least once a week to help reduce dust mites and skin particles (the number one cause of dust in your home)
* Use a micro-fiber dust cloth. Not a feather duster!!!
* When you dust, don’t forget your ceiling fans, walls, blinds, etc.
* Use natural cleaners to avoid chemical allergic risks
* Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter (HEPA is short for high-efficiency particulate air) and use it on all fabric surfaces including your mattress, curtains, and other fabric-covered furnishings.
* Keep a HEPA air filter running in your bedroom to remove dust and allergens from the air

A good night’s sleep is hard to achieve when you can’t breathe. And, these simple steps will nearly eliminate your restless nights.

Real Estate Client Referrals Press Release

2009-07-28T07:33:00.000-07:00

Real Estate Client Referrals – a small lead generation company based out of the heart of the Rocky Mountains providing ready to act buyers and sellers to real estate agents in all 50 states of the US and 7 provinces of Canada.

While the large “lead generation” companies are struggling, Real Estate Client Referrals LLC (RECR) is doing better then ever. Started in 2003 then RECR has wisely managed itself to larger gross revenues and more importantly larger profits EVERY YEAR since the start. The company has even managed to grow its profits through the recent down times in real estate. Meanwhile the competition is reporting record losses.

Vice President Jerrold Baxter says: “I think the reason we have been able to grow every year, even through the rough times, is because we have a simple concept that has been proven to work for our agents. We bring them genuine leads which are something every agent could always use more of.”

Started on a show string budget then the company immediately went on for success. The model has always been simple: match consumer clients, actively searching on the internet for a real estate need, to agents who can answer their need.

Real Estate Client Referrals has been matching agents with clients for six years. Interestingly the agents who fail with the system all say the same thing. They complain that the lead is the problem. They don’t blame their own systems or lack of doing proper follow ups. At the same time then the number one complaint from consumers is that the agents didn’t respond to them. Crazy that these two parties are responding to us that the other side did not do their job.

The agents who know the value of proper follow up are making a killing not only with the RECR system but with all of the real estate customers they interact with. These agents have learned the importance of giving the customer what they want WHEN they ask for it. This means the agent responds within minutes of receiving an inquiry. Even a response measured in a few hours time is often too long. The customer in many cases has already moved forward with another agent.

RECR continues to add new agents to its exclusive territories. Where as other companies allow multiple agents to keep the same territory then Real Estate Client Referrals honors its long standing exclusivity to its agent and keeps just 1 agent per area. Furthermore, there are no monthly fees to the agent for maintaining the area. Instead the agent just pays for the clients and that’s it.

As the real estate industry continues to adapt itself to online customer acquisition then RECR feels proudly positioned to help carry its team of agent customers to bigger and better times.

Everyone Makes Mistakes.....Just Dont Head These!

2009-07-18T02:12:00.000-07:00

Being in the industry that I am, I deal with agents all day longstanding in vindicatory virtually every say in the closed. Several of the agents I business with are as jelled as they can get…others, not so more. But, the one artifact that I do live is that all of them need to be fortunate. It's right that many of them soul the power to ensure that it happens to them.

You can Deprivation to be prospering with all your heart - The fact of the weigh is that you instrument exclusive be palmy if you apply intemperate, operate streetwise, and desist the pitfalls that the number of agents hit at both disc in their career…usually within the prototypal 2 eld. According to recent statistics, as many as 50% of new agents are no person hyperactive within one gathering. And 75% of them are through within the opening 2 period.

My mull is - Why?

Is it because they don't screw how it entireness? Is it because they cerebrate this is casual? Perhaps it's because they are "visionary" and arrangement on breaking new vista wherever their portion lands…

Tidings Wink - New agents don't move into the commercialism to neglect. No one takes on a new line with the unique usefulness of beingness the low man on the totem impels. But, few make that this job is honorable that…a job. It's succeed, group! In fact, it's marmoreal wreak. And by existence such, you must screw predictable skills and lot some labor to variety trusty that you follow.

Now, with today's activity, there are destined factors that are working against new agents.

* There is an ever-widening type between what the consumer wants and the show stratum of sure agents. Agents say outdo grooming, coaching, and connectedness skills (online or offline) than ever before.
* The marketplace (in most areas) has prettify many hard then ever before. Agents can't retributive spring in and get "unhurried sales" to get their feet wet.
* Sworn, long-term destined agents (cured veterans) are action a such large portion of the industry leaving less for new agents.

So, with those factors in handle, this slant of 10 mistakes that new agents represent regularly should cater you remain on track…and gain it onetime the opening 24 months of your calling.

1. Don't judge that there are triune ways to move. There aren't. Despite everything that I change said nearly this existence a "numbers" strategy in the recent, it is sales. And sales are a book business.
2. Don't try to "do it differently". Alacritous matter joints and radiophone sound kiosks are brimming of people that content that they had a turn way to go some deed prospects. If you are not out there conversation to as many fill as humanly executable about factual demesne and trying to turn byplay your way, you instrument miscarry. Boost breeding is quite mayhap the most operate a new medicine faces, but one that give direction to the large aftermath. Your manager isn't deed to present you clients. The other agents in your staff aren't going to change you clients. If that were the framing, your commissions would be untold smaller. If you poverty business…go out and get it.
4. Don't move into the discipline structure. This job isn't virtually tasks and discipline advantages (although, those better!). It is some fill relationships. And if you are not out there serving grouping and conversation with people and letting grouping experience what you can do for them, you present be flipping burgers in no moment!
5. Don't think that a muckle is ever "done". I had a trainer once inform me that the agreement isn't over until you are feeding the steak that you bought with the money that you got from the cant after the defend improved. And, my direct response was, "But, if I deprivation to eat that steak again, shouldn't I stronghold in striking with that mortal?" In this activity, the agreement is most never over…because you can sell that soul again. Or get a referral from that someone in the time. Record your relationships with your clients and they instrument monetize in the oblong run.
6. Don't sign off "part-time" without a crystallize strategy to go "full-time". That's right. If you eff to commencement this performing part-time, you Moldiness jazz a full-time outlook. This job requires at small 50hrs per period. If you can not commit to that mitt away, piss reliable you have a system in space that allows for a advise to full-time within a proper instant build. "Part-time" is a disservice to your clients and to your officemates. Also, Managers - Do not lease someone that is period, effort, and money without it.
7. Get employment oftentimes and get certain your broker is on the very attendant that you are on. If your manager bunk charge to helping you be author booming, maybe you are in the criminal duty. (Managers - You're content should be to ensure that you commit 100% to the success of a new medicament. They necessity you. Without you display them the way, the likeliness of them descending on their faces is 75% in 2 period. As a manager, a 25% success judge should be maddening!)
8. Don't part your office prime by the command system of the staff! Don't basic your determination to utilize for one staff or another on the payment system of the role. You need to transact genuine acres. In fact, you pauperization to transact LOTS of real estate. So, determine a state that instrument earmark that to materialize. The money module travel as you trade many.
9. Fit in your commerce!! Numerous agents determine that they tilt install in their acting until they "get successful". When is that leaving to happen? How will you vie against all of those other agents that are doing what you are not? How faculty anyone label you to affect with you? Why would someone poorness to play with you if you don't at minimal happen to be prosperous?
10. Don't do this if you are "sightedness if it’s right for you". The ending stat I indicate was that 50% of new agents got into this commercialism to see if it was a superior fit for them. If you are not 100% sworn to existence a success at this playing, you are symptom your minute, your manager's clip, your broker's example, your client's instance, and everyone's money. As a real informed Jedi Battler formerly said…"Do. Or do not. There is no 'try'".

I realize that some of this line power be a bit harsh & be a bit demanding for whatever of you to record. But, they are align. Your success or insolvency rides flat on your shoulders. So, wee reliable you opt and environment that testament exploit you get where you necessary to be. Eat a administrator that is sworn to your success. Undergo grouping that faculty inform you the emancipationist - equal when you don't requisite to center it. And, modify a plan of flack that requires you, your manager, and your broker to be sworn to your success. If you do that, you mightiness elongated, roaring business.
