Re: Median Home Sale price $175,000-$224,999

FYI, the Culture/Leisure column totals on the PDF chart do not match the totals in the magazine. This also throws off the Total column for every town. Barkhamstead, for example, has a total in the magazine of 41, but on the PDF it's 39. And, as Barbara says below, if you add the columns up in the magazine, the totals don't equal the sum of the columns. Again using Barkhamstead as an example, the total of the magazine columns is 43, but the total says 41. Is there a method to this madness?

Re: E-mail Could Be Binding

Harriman Real Estate — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 10:03:23 -0000

Be careful using disclaimers. According to my research and opinions from attorneys familiar with them, disclaimers are, with few exceptions, NOT a legal defense against this type of case. No US court case has ever turned on the presence or absence of a disclaimer, but at least one did in England, where the court ruled against the person who used the disclaimer.. Before using any disclaimer I would consult an attorney to see if it could be legally binding.

Actually, the .to domain is Tonga, not Turkey, isn't it? Not sure that's a big improvement...

Re: Dude, your brand name sucks.

Harriman Real Estate — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 12:24:43 -0000

As some dude named Shakespeare once said, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet." I think the Thompson rose is smelling pretty sweet right now, thank you very much Mr. Hallway Advice. Wonder what his brand name is...

Thanks Andrew, will do.

Well, I don't know why I can't get this plug-in to work, so I guess I'll have to remove it. Too bad too, cuz it could be very beneficial.

Hi Andrew, the plug-in is absolutely activated. I have the API keys for Zillow, Walkscore and Yelp entered. Anything else I can check? why am I getting an "Oops! Page Not Found" message? I'm positive I installed everything right, but it doesn't work. Very frustrating. Thanks for your help!

Re: Local Market Explorer v2 Beta Now Available

Harriman Real Estate — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:57:31 -0000

Andrew, I followed the installation instructions and thought I had done it right, but I'm not seeing any of the map, Yelp, or Walkscore. Can you look and see what I messed up?

Re: “How do you convert social media and social networking into more closings?”

Harriman Real Estate — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 20:20:59 -0000

Over the past 2 years, we have heavily invested ourselves into the social media arena. As others have said, we're on Twitter,, Facebook, LinkedIn, Plaxo, ECademy, etc etc... The big thing is trying to integrate all this SM into a coherent plan that results in new business. We have only recently begun to get clients from Twitter and Facebook, but the other networks have added little or nothing to the mix. I agree with Deborah Stone's comment that you feature above and on your AR blog: why can't someone develop a comprehensive business plan for Realtors that incorporates social media into your everyday marketing efforts and that results in an influx of new clients and closed transactions, and then distribute it, either freely or at a nominal cost, to the RE.net? Or, if someone has already done it, why isn't it available to other agents? Perhaps Ross's report will be the Rosetta Stone we seek...

This looks like something I've been looking for, thanks for the tip!

Re: Twitter: We Need Search By Authority

Harriman Real Estate — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 14:50:44 -0000

Why even mess with a good thing? Why can't we just leave well enough alone? Why is someone always trying to make things "better", instead of use it as it's intended? Twitter just asks, "What are you doing?", not "Who are you and why should I listen to you?". Besides, your answer to that second question might not matter to me as much as you think. (I have fewer followers than everyone else here so feel free to ignore me and listen to Scoble et. al.)

Re: Have You Accepted Twitter Yet? Here’s 5 Steps.

We kinda skipped steps 1-3 and went right to step 4, thanks to the 30 Day Challenge and StomperNet. Thanks in large part to Ed Dale and Don Crowley, we knew Twitter would be an immense help in developing our online presence, and the info they passed out about it hasn't disappointed.

Re: Headup Firefox Addon to Organize the Web Your Way

Harriman Real Estate — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 20:33:26 -0000

No problem, Eitan. Thanks for replying now, I'll await your email and try Head Up again and see if it works, then I'll post an update.

Re: Headup Firefox Addon to Organize the Web Your Way

Harriman Real Estate — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 17:46:36 -0000

Just to update you on this addon, I could never get Head Up to work and never heard from Guy Halawi after 10/17. He said in his last email that he would try to reproduce the issue I was having and get back to me, but to date I have not heard from him so I uninstalled Head Up. If I do hear from him with a fix, I will post an update.

Gee, you could have had his info fly out to the RIGHT instead of the LEFT so he's not covering my beautiful wife's face (it's ok to cover my ugly puss!). ;-D Just kiddin'...good info to have, thanks for pointing this out!

Re: Headup Firefox Addon to Organize the Web Your Way

Harriman Real Estate — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 15:28:12 -0000

Tried to install Head Up today to see what it was like, but the app refused to work on my PC. Am currently in correspondence with one of their reps, Guy Halawi, to see if we can determine the problem. He was very quick to respond to my initial email, kudos there. If we can fix it, I'll let you know.

Re: Survey Suggests Poor ROI on Real Estate Listing Sites

Harriman Real Estate — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 19:21:45 -0000

"Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents' propensity to be online." WTF?? Can somebody please decipher what that gobbledy-gook means and what possible effect it has on the accuracy of the poll? And no estimate of sampling error?? How about +/- 50%? That ought to about cover it...man, we must have half of the 8% of buyers here in our market! Heck, I don't know what I'm gonna be doing in the next 30 days, let alone a year, but I can tell you one thing: we'll be selling houses. So many things could happen that could totally invalidate this poll. We expect gloom and doom from the MSM, but from within our industry? Thanks a bunch...

Yeah, I've been thinking about taking it out for a while now, just haven't got around to it. I'll take it out and see if that helps. Thanks!

We've been in the biz about 7 years, so yeah I guess we are a little new. I could have added a few more beefs, but I thought the ones I posted were a good start. Feel free to post more if you like! The law and ethics code are both certainly list-worthy! Thanks for commenting!
