Going to Vegas for the NAR Convention

I am getting ready to go to my first NAR Convention. The NAR is the National Association of REALTORS(R).

I haven’t been to one of the national conventions, but I am looking forward to it. I was able to schedule it at the VERY last minute. I do plan on posting each day, even though I know I will be very busy. I doubt if I’ll even have time to squeeze in a hand or three of Blackjack, as I am scheduled to hit info sessions all day, every day.

Sorry for not having a normal post today, but I promise to make up for it… maybe I’ll come up with something on the plane… or I’ll watch “The 300” instead… we’ll see.

Lend me your “too cool” garage… ok, just tell me about it!

I was going to call this post “A funny thing happened on my way to the Search Engine Results…” and then start it with… I got hijacked. It was one of them long-tailed searches. They sure are sneaky. But, I got hijacked with a different idea, sooo…

I got hijacked. It was one of them long-tailed searches. They sure are sneaky.

This one was called “cool garage toys”. Now, if you take a look at my tags, you’ll see that I have around 30 posts that mention garages. I have over 100 that involve real estate. One might think that I would get some search engine lovin’ for real estate… but, nope. It’s all about garages.

Seriously, my top six search terms are all garages. Now, I will say that there is one post I have here that has surpassed all others in contacts… my phone rings twice a week over it, and it is real estate related, but nobody that calls has the $20M to actually do it, and they just want me to tell all of my secrets… but, for the most part, I think that most of my Googling readers are hitting me looking for the grooviest and coolest garage stuff.

Being a tech savvy guy (think Steve Martin’s “wild and craaazy guys” line), as well as a garage geek and swift thinking marketer, I have a solution. I want to see YOUR garage. That’s right… YOUR garage.

So, being the swifty that I am, after a mere 4 1/2 months, I have figure out that I need to showcase some cool garages. Now, of course this blog isn’t the best platform for it, but I do have a real estate and garage website (duh!) that would be perfect.

No charge. No geographical restrictions. No pressure. I’d just like to see some cool garages. I might even be able to put you on the front lines of a cool reward I’m looking to announce in a week or two as well.

The only thing I ask is that they look better than the sad sack I have pictures of here. This is a truly terrible garage. It is clogged with crap, and needs a much better system for storage. I just haven’t had the time of money to finish the projects that is clogging it up… Talk to my wife. As soon as she let’s me, I will clean it up and turn it into the 26’x24′ one car garage it always wanted to be… with attached tool room.

So, comment and send me an email. I’ll gladly feature YOUR garage on my website. For the whole world to see. Maybe my wife will stop buying purses long enough for me to do something with my own garage.

Oh yeah… If you need a bigger garage, let me know. I’m in Gwinnett County, GA and also work South Hall and South Forsyth. Furthermore, I have agents all over the country that would love to get a “car people” referral.

Crawlspaces? Save money…

I’m going to deviate a little from my normal pattern here.

I just ran across a story (printed, sorry no link) about encapsulated crawlspaces. It was touting the energy savings that could be realized by encapsulating the crawlspace. I have seen some claims as high as

Client Gateway for Buyers… a cool bonus.

One of the great features I offer to buyers is the Client Gateway. If you aren’t familiar, it is a custom private webpage that lists all of the properties that meet the criteria we decide on. As new listings are entered into the MLS, they show up in the Client Gateway the next morning.

The example shown is a Gateway that I have set up to keep an eye on new listings of homes with 4 or more car garages in Gwinnett County, GA.

A great feature of the Client Gateway is the ability to organize the properties. While reviewing the properties in the Gateway, one can select “Like”, “Possibility” or “Dislike”. Properties that are shuffled

One Day Sale!!! For a condo… And an Uber Open House!

I’m sure I’ll post up about it again later in the week, but mark your calendar for November 11th.

The Tuscany is a condo development in Midtown Atlanta between 8th and 10th streets (there isn’t a 9th street there) and between Juniper and Piedmont. It has a decided Mediterranean style (ya think? It is named Tuscan, not Canadian) with tile roofs and plaster exterior walls. Inside, there are a variety of floorplans, and we will have resale units of most of them, ranging from 675 square foot one bedroom units, up to 1181 square foot two bedroom condos. In all, there are twelve units for sale in this desirable complex. We will have at least
