DISQUS

Very Cool!

I'm going to get this stuff on my blog!

Gary has pioneered a completely new way to communicate with potential consumers by positioning himself as an unbiased resource on the products he sells.

I love it!

My flip camera worked beautifully for 8 months, but now it refuses to turn on! I changed the batteries so I think the on/off switch must have died.

It turns on when connected to a computer but won't do anything when I use the switch.

Any suggestions?

Planning is everything!

Speaking of which, when are you planning to come to Canada?

Getting back to web leads asap is critical.

I have a blackberry so I use that to get back to them right away. If there is a number I call them.

Auto-responders to me are not very personal or professional. That said I so use them when I go on vacation (11 days and counting!) but only as means to let people know about my absence.

In this market, having people around to do that stuff is expensive.

I call my web leads right away and I get a good response. That said I am more of a phone guy than an email guy.

LOL!

I am coming across soooo many sellers like this!!

We here in Canada are now seeing prices starting to come off and the more aggressive/reckless investors are not so happy.

I loved the original movie too!

You have the coolest real estate videos online!

I wish I got my piece of fabric in!

Hi Jay,

Great article!

PR is a tempting thing to be infatuated with (I kinda am) but I find that when I am testing my SEO efforts , you are right it doesn't really have that huge an effect on what shows up on Google.

There are realtors in my market who have publicized their PR and they're sites don't show up often...

Thanks!

Wow! That deal smells of fish to me! The lawyers are going to do well from this one. I'd be interested to see what was happening with this companies other investment properties

Hi Wade,

Thanks for your well thought out comments.

I respectfully disagree.

If there is a Depression it will not be inflationary. It will be deflationary because of a lack of demand in the economy, or a demand shock as economists call it.

Inflation is an excess of demand in the economy. If policymakers over shoot and stimulate the economy too much we'll have inflation.

At the start of the Depression policymakers didn't realise or didn't believe you could spend your way out of a recession/depression and thus did not attempt to. Massive government spending in response to the Second World War ended the Depression and convinced policy makers they could spend their way to prosperity.

Policy makers know they can avoid a recession by spending and stimulating the economy. The do not in normal circumstances due to the risks of sparking inflation like we had in the 70's.

Today we are not in a normal economic downturn. Policymakers know this around the world and are acting accordingly by spending and stimulating the economy.

I'd like to clarify my original comment. I am an optimist. I think we are going to be alright. I see inflation becoming a problem if we are able to contain this economic situation. Inflation will will occur if things aren't that bad and/or gov'ts over react.

I don't necessarily see a little inflation as a bad thing in the short term. But there are risks.

If I am wrong and gov'ts around the world aren't able to contain this situation, then inflation will be the least of our worries.

Your thoughts?

Wow! I hope this didn't happen to you! There is a situation like that going on here in Canada with stuff like that.

What are your thoughts on all of the stimulus coming from central banks and national governments around the world and its potential for inflation in a few years?

In conversations with clients and other realtors the consensus is that in a few years deflation may not be our biggest issue, but rather inflation as a result of all the efforts to get the economy going again.

Your thoughts?

Can Gogopin be used for video? I shoot my own video for my won listings and would love to embed video on Craigslist.

Hi,

I am a realtor in Vancouver Canada and my concern would be that potential clients would not think that such a url would be associated with a different country at best and rank narcissism at worst?
