In real estate there is no "right answer" on how to be successful. BUT, we have found that some agents are "more right" than others.

In real estate there is no "right answer" on how to be successful. BUT, we have found that some agents are "more right" than others.


ActiveRain conducted a survey(1) of 1,758 real estate professionals to find out what separates the top real estate professionals (those earning over $100,000 a year, we'll call them 'Rich Real Estate Agents') from the struggling real estate professionals (those earning under $35,000 a year, we'll call them 'Poor Real Estate Agents'). 379, or 22% of respondents were Rich Real Estate Agents, while 363 or 21% of respondents were Poor Real Estate Agents

RE/MAX and You on November 2nd, 2011

I know, I know, I know! You are just tired of hearing of how many opportunities RE/MAX has for you to attend and learn. Sometimes the amount of information out there is just overwhelming. The overwhelming number of emails, the calls from Vendors selling the biggest and best new thingy that will set you and your business apart, etc. etc. etc..

I want to challenge you to attend RE/MAX and You on November 22^nd, 2011

I use RE/MAX and You as a day to reflect on what is coming and what is important for me. Where else can you get a trusted source of information on what is new and what is smart. Trust that is what it is all about. Not some competitor just wanting you to move to them. Not a salesperson just wanting you to buy their wares or services. A trusted source of knowledge to build your business foundation on.

The knowledge to impart to you a strong business direction, the Brand strength to implement the strategy for success and the confidence to win the day.

If you have not yet registered for RE/MAX and You, do so today. Take the day to reflect, engage, network and prepare for 2012.

I look forward to seeing you at RE/MAX and You!

Fixed or Variable - It's NO Contest

Variable-rate mortgages are so over.
Go fixed rate if you’re arranging or renewing a mortgage, and think hard about the four-year term. If you take in all the recent developments in the mortgage market, this is the most logical strategy.
Variable-rate mortgages are being sold at the prime rate in many cases right now, which is 3 per cent. The traditional discount off prime? Snuffed out by the banks. They’ve decided they aren’t making enough money from discounted variable-rate mortgages, so goodbye discount for the most part. If you shop around, maybe you’ll get 0.2 of a point off prime.
