Want to impress clients and earn their business? Show gratitude! A recent study by the American Marketing Association shows that Gratitude Marketing is the missing ingredient that makes the difference in customers choosing to use a business or not.

Winter Real Estate! What does it mean? Is it slow or busy? According to Trulia, winter is a great time to sell a home. According to a 2013 study the likelihood of selling a D.C. home within six months in the winter is 67%, while it's only 57% in summer and 60% in spring.

Rainy Day Showings!
Rainy Day Showings! It's a miserable day and the rain is coming down and the last thing you want to do is show a house, but showings in the rain do have some advantages. If someone is willing to come out in the rain to look at a house, you know they are pretty serious and very interested in the house. They are able to see how the house operates in the rain. Is the cellar wet? Are the gutters clear? Does the roof leak? Do you get drenched at the door? This can be very helpful to a buyer.…

Procuring Cause!
Procuring Cause. In a recent blog we talked about procuring cause and how confusing it can be for the buyer and his or her real estate agent. No one intends to break the chain of procuring cause or break a link, but that happens many times in real estate transactions.Howard Goldson of Realtor Magazine gives a great example:
