For our Coeur d’Alene agents, please plan on attending our office meeting next Wednesday.  John will be presenting information on 2011 Goals and we will further discuss the new commission structures.  (Spokane / Liberty Lake – we will do this the following week for you).

Have a great holiday weekend!

At our Coeur d’Alene meeting I presented a simply flier this week which CENTURY 21 provides.  It is a double sided flier on staging.  I was talking with one of our top agents today and he commented he will be using it as a mailer to his sellers.  I thought it was a great idea.  Here is the flier: staging flier.

On another note, our contract with Realtor.com is coming up.  Your manager will be talking with you to discuss whether or not you want to continue with this program.  If you have any questions on this in the mean time, please come see one of us.

Thanks!

I talked at our meetings this week about the importance of staying on top of real estate news.  I know it can be very time consuming.  One item I mentioned is the use of twitter to help accomplish this.  Simply go to www.twitter.com and follow the instructions to set up an account.  After this is complete, search for Century 21 and start following their account.  You can then either log in to twitter or better yet set your account up on your smart phone and have the news delivered daily.

Have a great weekend…

So, you can read about good news and not so good news.  How about a little of both:

Here’s the good: Realogy Expects Continued Improvement in National Existing Home Sale Data

And, the not so good: Consumers Peg Housing Market Recovery at 2014 or later: Trulia/RealtyTrac Survey.

So which do you believe?  I choose the optimistic side!

Have a great weekend!
