Right now is one of the best opportunities for you as a Realtor (or any sales person for that matter) to establish yourself on the web. I don’t just mean getting a web page and hoping someone goes to it. I mean really getting out the in the Cyber Community and showing people just what a great agent you are (hopefully you are as good as you say you are). Not only can you do this today but you can do it extremely cost effectively. Doesn’t that sound good?
The following sites are to be used as modern day Cocktail parties or business mixers. Go out….introduce yourself…Put your best picture out there and get to know some people. My best advice would be to give before you expect to receive! Try giving some referrals, shouts and diggs and be supportive of other Business people in your New web Community! As usual if you have any questions…please feel free to contact me. I would be honored to help!

As everyone knows, real estate is a cyclical business with ups and downs. One way for a Realtor to weather the slower times and make additional income is to add Google adsense to your web site. Google adsense is a simple code that you add to your site and Google chooses the adds that will match your content. To sum it up….Google adsense is a system to advertise services or products on your site to a targeted audience. When you add Google adsense to your real estate web site, you have choices of what the add will look like. Google adsense is not a get rich quick scheme and you will not be able to retire overnight.
If you have decent traffic and good content, you will however see click through patterns and a steady stream of income start coming in. I have utilized Google adsense for 3+ years and although Google does not allow you to disclose adsense income, I can say that my real estate related Google income on a monthly basis more than takes care of my car note, web site cost, office bills and gas money. If you are a Realtor and have any questions about Google adsense….please feel free to contact me and I would be honored to help!
One obvious drawback of having Google adsense on your site is that your competitors are sure to be using Google adwords and WILL show up on your site. You CAN however use Google competitive ad filter.
Google’s policies are changing quite often. I recommend reading the terms of Google Adsense before becoming an affiliate.
A few strict Google adsense rules…
-Do not create multiple accounts.
-Do not modify the Google adsense Code.
-Do not place adsense ads on pages with prohibitive content.
-No more than 3 adds on one page.
-Never click your own adds!
-No headings like..”Don’t forget to help us out by visiting our website sponsors”.
-No mimicking Google ads with other ads that you might sell on your site.
If you would like to see some examples of how I have utilized adsense check out the following sites…
Since my Atlanta Real Estate Blog has been one of the Top Atlanta Real Estate Blogs for a while now, I thought I would put together a blog of some of the Nation’s top Real Estate Blogs. Over the past couple of years some of my blogs posts have focused on Lofts, Condos, Foreclosures, and Atlanta Mansions.
If you are interested in researching all different types of blogs, I have found that blogflux and Blogstoplist are two of my top favorite.
One blog that is very popular with Real Estate agents across the country is Active Rain. Be sure and check it out, but be prepared and have the kids leave the room…there are many frustrated Realtors venting about the current Real Estate market
If you would like to go and build you own blog, I would recommend Blogger and Wordpress (who I use).
If you have ever wondered what the definition of a blog is?? You might learn something new…follow this link! BLOG
Owning an Atlanta townhome can be a blessing and curse. It is imperative to make sure that you purchase right by getting the best deal possible on the front end and making sure that the Townhome is in the ideal location in the complex. In the past 5-7 years there have been too many townhome communities built in Atlanta. The supply has currently exceeded the demand. This does not mean that you cannot make a profit after you purchase. It just means you need to be extremely picky about where you purchase and what price you pay.
One point I like to make while working with clients looking for townhomes, is that you are purchasing a lifestyle when you buy an Atlanta Condo. No more yards to mow! Townhomes offer lower maintenance and more conveniences than homes. Townhome communities in Atlanta also provide residents with amenities like pools, fitness centers, and tennis courts.
I would also like to introduce my new townhome site. There are very few places on the web that allow you to search Atlanta townhomes by community. For instance, if you are looking for a townhome in Dunwoody. All you have to do is click the Dunwoody Townhomes button. How easy is that! I am excited about this site because there are so many great townhome communities out there that are very difficult to find in your traditional real estate searchs on the majority of sites out there. So go and check out the site, let me know what you think. And as usual feel free to contact us we can assist you in any way possible!

1.)banks are not negotiable.
This is false…Most banks holding these properties are public companies and have shareholders to answer to. These properties need to be sold and moved off the banks books…Don’t be afraid to make an offer. You never know how that banks asset manager is feeling that day. 2.) Foreclosures are in terrible shape. Not always. I have been in many foreclosure properties that are super clean, move in ready and nicer than regular listings I have through. 3.) You cannot inspect a foreclosure property if you buy it.
This is incorrect. The majority of the time you can inspect a bank owned or short sale property but on the flip side the majority of the time the bank will not repair any of the items that you have found defective.
Atlanta Foreclosures are currently some of the best bargains out there…They are not always in bad shape and because of the current owners financial or personal hardships or the banks willingness to liquidate the property, most of the time you are getting a fantastic deal. Our team consist of intown Atlanta experts as well as an investment agent that dedicates 100% of his time to foreclosures, short sales, wholesale properties and staying abreast of current market conditions. Contact us today. We would be honored to help. Here are a few Atlanta Neighborhoods with Foreclosure Homes available.
