Time Management is always a challenge in real estate. Lots of multi-tasking events or juggling -- depends on how you look at it. People always come first!

My biggest success as the owner of 1 Month Realty is treating my clients as I would want to be treated -- honestly, fairly and with compassion. I have always prided myself in being knowledgeable, professional and a friendly and down-to-earth and "approachable" Agent who, in time,a long-lasting friendship resulted. My passion for real estate turned into 11 years in a row of being the Top Agent in all of Kenosha County for "Number of Homes Sold" and "Total Dollar Volume". When the market fell in 2009 I had to make a lot of adjustments but continued to reach out and stay connected... 2019 was my best year since 2009 and the credit goes to faithful and dedicated clients who either referred me to their family, friends and associates or they used me again to buy and/or sell. To me, this would be my Biggest Success!
2019 came in and went out with a BANG! 2019 was my best year since 2009 so I am happy to say our predictions were correct. By the way, I am expecting 2020 to be even Better!

On average, $195 includes 35 photos (in three sizes) as well as a YouTube video. Of course there are many options to choose from to personalize each client for additional fees. The basic is $165.

Whether my client is the buyer or seller I would recommend a good quality roofer in the area to come and assess the condition and to make the best recommendation for a cure. I normally give 2-3 recommendations so the client can decide on next step of action. After all, it's their money!

Every area is different … and everything in real estate is "negotiable" including commissions. It is best to interview at least 2 or 3 agents before making the big decision to list and sell your home. Remember, it's not all about commission! You have to trust the person who will be marketing...

My follow up techniques are texting, calling, sending an email and following up with a direct mail (if I have an address). I also use IXACT Contact as a CRM using auto reminders for follow up and campaigns that make sense for the particular contact -- renter looking to buy in the future, warm buyer or seller as well as hot buyer or seller. They have great options and also send a monthly Newsletter as a stay in touch. Of course, Social Media also comes into play once we connect.
I am always prospecting! Can't actually say a number of hours per day or week. It's like the adage ABC -- always be closing!

Some of the ways I prospect: daily contact with my sphere of influence via social media; email; direct mail; texting; open houses; Newsletter; referrals from current and past clients; networking groups … and I try to meet with someone everyday for a cup of coffee to "stay in touch".
