There are big things stirring… and they are stirring in the FaceBook world.
A couple of weeks ago, while releasing the ability for people to have custom URLs on FaceBook (mine is FaceBook.com/LaneTheGarageGuy… someone beat me to LaneBailey) they also released custom URLs for Fan Pages. But, the only fan pages eligible were those that had over 1000 fans. I wasn’t anywhere near close…
This past weekend, FaceBook released custom URLs for Fan Pages with 100 or more fans. All of my real estate friends, and some of my other business friends were scrambling to get fans in order to meet the 100 fan level. And so was I.
Originally there wasn’t going to be a floor on the number of fans, then it was 25, then 100… so there were a lot of us that were left to scramble.
I’m still working towards 100 fans for the two pages I have, LaneBailey and LilburnDwellings. Feel free to drop by and become a fan if you are a member of FaceBook… and if you aren’t, you should be…
I am quite literally down to a handful of fans before I can get custom URLs for these pages. It is nerve wracking…
Aside from the business, it is all in good fun. The pages are light and fun, as well as entertaining and loaded with useful information (at least I hope so). Stop by, become a fan, post up your comments and feedback. I’d love to hear from you.
Yesterday I posted about how some companies are adding junk fees to the traditional sales fees for both buyers and sellers. I think this practice is just plain wrong… especially the way it is usually presented.
In order to give my clients options and help them save some money, I offer three different fee structures and two different levels of service for home sellers. Here is the quick rundown:
One other thing to keep in mind is that most real estate agents are actually independent contractors. While we “work for” a brokerage, we aren’t employees. In some cases, we have the ability to set our own rates, services and other aspects of our businesses. So, even agents working for the same office may offer different services or fees.
In the case of Diamond Dwellings Realty, we are a small niche brokerage… we have agents that specialize in different areas or market segments. And as a smaller brokerage, we have a LOT of lattitude to deliver the best fit for a client’s needs.
My goal is to get YOU the best total deal.
HGTV is looking forsome buyers in the Atlanta area that are ready to get a deal done. They want fun and energetic buyers.
If you think this would be interesting, let me know. We can put in an application.
Also, if you selling a home and having trouble, there may be opportunities to have your home shown on HGTV along with some advice from their expert, Sabrina, on things you might do to help get it sold.
Shoot me a message if you are interested in either of these opportunities.
