BOOK RECOMMENDATION – TRAINING CAMP By Jon Gordon. No matter what profession people are in or what hobby people pursue, a handful of people will become the best of the best. Training Camp is an inspirational novel that is a compelling read (for you know who, that means it holds your attention). What do the best do to become the best, to stand out from the crowd, to become the person of their desires? This is a book that everyone in our Market Center should read and study. www.TrainingCamp11.com

MARKETING TIP: Create a domain name and web site for your listing. DomainDad.com to my knowledge still enables you to build one free web site with each domain name you purchase. So your listing address is 123 Maple St, you purchase www.123Maple.com. Use the three page free web site to upload info about you and your new listing. Include the domain name on everything you do, create a sign rider that reads, “For more information, go to http://www.123maple.com/ For about $14.00 you have one more tool to use. I have found that the neighbors to your listing check it out first making it a great listing tool. Buyers write down address already as they drive by, turning that into a web site to remember makes it easy. It also impresses the Sellers.

BROKER BIT - LEASING AND DUAL AGENCY: If you have a Lease Listing and are offering coop agents a small dollar commission expecting them to simply “hand over” the potential tenant for you to work, you are effectively creating a dual agency situation provided the coop agent does in fact “hand over” the customer for you to work. As such, you are expected to complete all the required paperwork that would be completed whenever you are a dual agent including but not limited to the Agency Disclosure and Dual Agency Authorization. If you are the coop agent “handing off” a potential tenant to a Lease Listing agent, you still need to complete the Agency Disclosure before you “hand off” the customer.

JUST SO YOU KNOW. It seems like so many things start in California. Three major boards have joined a new MLS service that has intentions of going state-wide. The goal of the service is to capture all California listings into one state MLS system. It launched on August 17th and apparently while it has great potential, there are new system flaws that need to be worked out. Like so many things, if it works you could probably expect someone to give it a try in other states.
