It’s Halloween. Today is a good day to stay in and relax. We have compiled a list of movies that you might find some value in, as real estate agents. These films are not likely to improve your career in anyway, but they will at least be entertaining.

It is a safe bet that the majority of your marketing materials are visual. You will need to create fantastic pictures to grab the attention of a potential home buyer or seller, or at least the bare minimum of good quality images. Our recommendation would be to look into investing in professional real estate photography services...but if you prefer to do it yourself, there are a few apps we would recommend. Just make sure to not end up on our real estate photo fails list.

You are out having lunch with one of your clients, when suddenly a pungent scent taints the nearby air. You try to pass it off like it wasn’t you that dealt it. You look around and realize, it’s an internet lead! Do they really stink that bad? To answer that, we must quote an anonymous ancient philosopher that uttered the words “You smelt it, you dealt it”.

Quick! You are at home making instant noodles, and your phone pings you with an alert. It’s a lead! You have a somebody looking at homes in one of your farming areas! Do you: A) Finish cooking and eat your dinner? Or B) Turn off the stove and order take out?

We understand it may be overwhelming having so many different companies pitching you their real estate website services. We get it. As agents, you want a website that will bring you results. Something to consider when choosing a website host is if you want a website with or without IDX.
