It has been exactly one year since the first post here at the Phoenix Area Real Estate Blog. To be honest, it feels like much longer than just 1 year. This blog started on somewhat of a whim. I was a bit bored, to be honest, as my normal marketing approach was to send printed newsletters out, which at one time resulted in approximately one new listing per month. That’s what had always worked in the past, but suddenly I had gone 6 months with 18,000 newsletters sent, and the phone had hardly rung, much less had I managed to secure a listing.
At the same time, my very lame “business card” web site (now defunct) had yet to result any type of measurable business, although there were occasional visits from readers of the newsletter. An article in REALTOR magazine regarding blogging intrigued me, and I thought, “what an interesting way to help boost my lame web site”. (Although at the time, I had yet to realize it was so lame&...

So I’ll miss the kick-off, and probably a bunch of the first quarter. B... more
This question comes from a PropertyQube user, and having opened an escrow yesterday, it seemed appropriate:

Yesterday, my broker held its most recent Quarterly Event at the Westin Kierland Resort in Phoenix (the Westin has a Scottsdale address, but it’s really in Phoenix). A Realty Executives Quarterly Event is quite the event. Approximately 1000 agents (most from Realty Executives, but many invited guests also attend) get together for a free lunch and a free continuing education class, surrounded by a convention-style vendor exhibit. This event is an excellent place to netwo... more
