I have dusted off the “Talking House” transmitters in my basement and have started using them in my listings. These AM Transmitters allow me to walk potential buyers through the home while they sit in their cars outside the home. This is particularly useful in bad weather, in the evenings, and for people just driving a neighborhood without a Realtor. These transmitters plus the solar lights I use on my signs effectively extend my showing time during the day to 24 hours!
I am also getting ready to roll out a service that will allow people to view a digital movie of the home directly to their PDA while they sit outside the home. Yet another way to get potential buyers interested in the home. The link below is part of the soundtrack I have produced for the Talking House program. It starts with the outro, goes to the intro, and then to the home info. Ths causes the message to wrap around or appear to have a beginning, middle and end when it is listened to. Listen and let me know what you think. Oh by the way, it takes a few minutes to download, so have patience!

The following text was taken from a letter I sent the other day to a home owner looking to sell his home. I addressed several issues in the letter that keep coming up and I thought it might be of interest to my blog visitors.
My good friend Ron Kulesa notified me this week that you may be thinking of selling your home. While these are challenging times for home sellers, the national media attention on the sub prime mortgage mess has certainly been over blown.
Home prices in the Atlanta area have been negatively impacted over the past two years, but not nearly as badly as other parts of the country. However, all we hear about are the startling numbers being generated nationally. Real Estate is still a regional business and our local markets did not balloon as high nor will they sink as low as many other areas of the country. Read the rest of this entry »
