 <title>The Red Light On The Real Estate Video Camera Is Blinking... What Not To Do For That New Property Listing Tour.</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Does NOT Play Well On A Real Estate Or Local Community Video Presentation.&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
1) Thinking you are going to shoot the entire video one take, no edits, on the run.&lt;br /&gt;
2) Believing someone will waste four minutes as your car cam video jiggles. You ramble, cause sea sickness dodging pot holes. Twisting in and out of neighborhoods.&lt;br /&gt;
3) If the video is a house, think just start inside and let them figure what&#039;s up. Confuse.&lt;br /&gt;
4) Or forget the audio track,  that&#039;s only 40% of the real estate experience. Use the Rocky theme. &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/real-estate-marketing/2011/04/1/the-red-light-on-the-real-estate-video-camera-is-bl&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Whose got Chrome Dome? A short opinion on Chrome vs Firefox</title>
 <link>http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/3d-web-publishing/2011/01/11/whose-got-chrome-dome-a-short-opinion-chrome-vs-firefo</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I recently tried the new Google browser, Chrome. I have been an avid Firefox user with no problems in the past, so &#039;Why fix it if it ain&#039;t broken?&#039;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, Firefox didn&#039;t break, but I was having problems with loading several pages I use often, including my own website. In a bind, I went with my brother&#039;s suggestion to give Chrome a try. I wasn&#039;t dazzled, but I wasn&#039;t let down either. If you have an internet presence (like a website or online portfolio) then you&#039;ll find this interesting. &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/3d-web-publishing/2011/01/11/whose-got-chrome-dome-a-short-opinion-chrome-vs-firefo&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Taking Advice</title>
 <link>http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/3d-web-publishing/2010/11/19/taking-advice</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;You’ve done all the research, you have the experience, you’ve even got a back-up plan, so why would you ask for advice? And why would someone offer you advice when you didn’t even ask for it?!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just when I thought I could do something on my own and use my own &quot;creative&quot; mind, I am smacked back into reality by the hand of humbleness. When I got married, I didn’t think I would ever need counseling. When I began learning photography, I would be able to figure out the camera on my own… maybe read a few pages in the manual. I couldn’t have been more wrong. &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/3d-web-publishing/2010/11/19/taking-advice&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>The argument for an Open Source MLS System</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;After learning recently that there were over 900 regional MLS providers that one needs to tie into in order to deliver a compelling solution, it really made me wonder why as an industry, there wasn&#039;t more push to create an open source MLS.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After all, despite cutting some grass from the regional boards, isn&#039;t in the best interest of the industry and more importantly the customers (the home sellers) to have their data accessible in as many places as possible? &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/real-estate-bloggers/2010/01/23/the-argument-open-source-mls-system&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Mobile Video Blogging&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve been playing with this new app for my phone called &quot;bambuser&quot;, it&#039;s pretty cool it lets you do live broadcasting from your phone, direct to the web.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There&#039;s a cool feature to the site which lets you setup an event, and then people can join it with their mobiles as well, if there are multiple broadcasters at the event, users can choose from different camera views&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cool, but you sorta need an event to play with it ... enter Real Estate Connect &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/real-estate-bloggers/2009/12/23/live-moble-video-blogging-from-rec2010&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;It’s time that someone finally comes out and tells all you REALTORS® that you don’t have to worry. Wal-Mart will hire us...when they put in their real estate offices in their stores.  Did you catch that? I said “us”.  Yes, the jerk writing this article is a REALTOR® himself. Telling you this doesn’t come with much trepidation and thought, but I am compelled to share this with you. &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/real-estate-marketing/2009/12/4/don%E2%80%99t-worry-wal-mart-will-hire-us&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Which are the Top 10 Most Recognizable Real Estate Franchise Brands?</title>
 <link>http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/real-estate-marketing-20/2009/12/4/which-are-top-10-most-recognizable-real-estate-f</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;Six months ago I wrote a blog post about &amp;quot;The Changing Face of Real Estate Franchise Brands&amp;quot; that garnished a lot of attention because I dared to compare and even more list in order the top 10 franchise brands in my opinion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then last month my blog post &amp;quot;Merge Creates One of the Largest Real Estate Franchises in Northern America&amp;quot; exploded with over 155 comments as the debate continued about brands when a significant number of agents had never even heard of the brands mentioned.  Well now I have created an opportunity to see what the industry really thinks. &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/real-estate-marketing-20/2009/12/4/which-are-top-10-most-recognizable-real-estate-f&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;og_rss_groups&quot;&gt;			&lt;ul  class=&quot;links og_links&quot;&gt;				&lt;li &gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/community/groups/real-estate-marketing-20&quot; &gt;Real Estate Marketing 2.0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

 <title>Merger Creates One of the Largest Real Estate Franchise in Northern America </title>
 <link>http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/alternative-business-models/2009/11/11/merger-creates-one-largest-real-estate-franc</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Barely a year ago the real estate industry was stunned when Canadian-based Brookfield Residential Property Services (Brookfield RPS), a division of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (Brookfield), and owner of Royal LePage, the largest Canadian residential real estate company, acquired GMAC Real Estate. With the departure of CEO John Bearden and a pending name change imminent, many labeled the GMAC franchise as yesterday’s news.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What a difference a year has made. &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/alternative-business-models/2009/11/11/merger-creates-one-largest-real-estate-franc&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Social Media Tips for Real Estate Professionals</title>
 <link>http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/california-real-estate-bloggers/2009/09/4/social-media-tips-real-estate-profession-0</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Your profile, posts and comments on most Social Media networks will be available for many thousands, maybe even everyone to see – forever. It is therefore vitally important that you conduct yourself correctly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Be yourself, be open, be transparent, share… and all those other good things. Just decide who you are, what image you wish to portray today, and tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don’t just sign up for a network account on LinkedIn or Facebook or Twitter with the intent of just engaging in idle chit-chat without taking the time to complete profile and think through your positioning. &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/california-real-estate-bloggers/2009/09/4/social-media-tips-real-estate-profession-0&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then get back to work....&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124882959117688773.html&quot;&gt;This Wall Street Journal article&lt;/a&gt; illustrates how focused everyone is on the lender -- With little more than a glance given to distressed homeowners.  It is interesting to note that while the various government bodies are cleaning up the &amp;quot;loan mod&amp;quot; industry - They still have not issued any sort of consumer guide to help homeowners needing assistance.  Here are a few tips: &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/alternative-business-models/2009/07/29/mortgage-servicers-are-under-pressure-modify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;og_rss_groups&quot;&gt;			&lt;ul  class=&quot;links og_links&quot;&gt;				&lt;li &gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/community/groups/alternative-business-models&quot; &gt;Alternative Business Models&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

 <title>Former Countrywide Execs To Profit From REO Markets</title>
 <link>http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/alternative-business-models/2009/07/10/former-countrywide-execs-to-profit-from-reo-</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Does anyone else find this ridiculous?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Former CW senior executives are now heading up a company with Fannie and Freddie REO contracts - Even though they have ZERO real estate selling experience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(Is that why they are just now getting their real estate licensing in order...?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They make Multi-Millions in salaries and bonuses at CW - Which certainly had a major hand in creating this real estate bubble - Only to turn around and profit again from the REO market.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is the link: http://blogcatalog.com/search.frame.php?term=countrywide+reo&amp;amp;id=c38dad1c... &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/alternative-business-models/2009/07/10/former-countrywide-execs-to-profit-from-reo-&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>The Changing Face of Real Estate Franchise Brands?</title>
 <link>http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/alternative-business-models/2009/07/4/the-changing-face-real-estate-franchise-brand</link>

 <title>TREATING REAL ESTATE LIKE FAMILY--WITH RESPECT</title>
 <link>http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/certified-international-property-specialists/2009/05/18/treating-real-estate-like-f</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I had a meeting with a potential seller who instructed me, “Julie, give me the advice that you would give you brother-in-law about marketing his residence.”  His suggestion was a very interesting approach and it effectively enabled us to communicate very honestly and directly with one another (even though I do not have a brother-in-law)!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This gentleman made me aware that I do become involved in my buyers’ and sellers’ requirements as if they were family, despite the fact that, really, I am just one of the highest paid guests in their residence—or soon to be residence. &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/certified-international-property-specialists/2009/05/18/treating-real-estate-like-f&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>8 Tips for Basic Do-It-Yourself SEO</title>
 <link>http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/real-estate-bloggers/2009/05/13/8-tips-basic-do-it-yourself-seo</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;•1.       Meta Title&lt;br /&gt;
Create your title using keywords and your farming area. Do NOT use ‘Home Page&#039;, ‘Index Page&#039;, or just your name in the title of your webpage. Use different titles on different pages to increase your exposure in the search engines for different search phrases. Keep this UNDER 70 characters in length.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;•2.       Meta Keywords &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/real-estate-bloggers/2009/05/13/8-tips-basic-do-it-yourself-seo&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Buyers Beware of Buying the Deal and not the Residence . . . </title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;At the recent Luxury Real Estate conference I attended in Las Vegas many of the top brokers mentioned their concern that some buyers are so motivated by the deal that they are missing purchasing their first choice residence in the pursuit of the best price! &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/real-estate-bloggers/2009/05/7/buyers-beware-buying-deal-and-not-residence&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Eco-Cities: What Role Should Realtors Play With Green?</title>
 <link>http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/california-real-estate-bloggers/2009/05/6/eco-cities-what-role-should-realtors-play</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;The recent Earth Day gave the green revolution another shot up the arm.  When Earth Day started in 1970 a large number of people (20 million people one country) had already committed to celebrate it. Since then that number has exploded to 500 million (175 countries); about 7% of the world’s population. &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/california-real-estate-bloggers/2009/05/6/eco-cities-what-role-should-realtors-play&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Referrals Fees vs Advertising | Which is a better spend?</title>
 <link>http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/real-estate-bloggers/2009/05/3/referrals-fees-vs-advertising-which-a-better-spend</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Just curious what agents think is a better spend (or what would you rather... pay for advertising? or pay referral fees for business closed?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you could take a second to answer the survey here, it&#039;s just 5 questions and there is a little thank you bonus at the end for taking the time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;http://rem20.com/blogs/internet_marketing/2009/5/03/commissions-vs-refer...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your input is appreciated. &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/real-estate-bloggers/2009/05/3/referrals-fees-vs-advertising-which-a-better-spend&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>ARE YOU A REAL ESTATE CROWD PLEASER?</title>
 <link>http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/real-estate-agent-mastermind-group/2009/05/1/are-you-a-real-estate-crowd-pleaser</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I was fascinated to read the story of Cameron Hughes on a recent SouthWest flight to a conference for Who’s Who In Luxury Real Estate in Las Vegas.  Cameron makes a living getting spectators out of their seats.  He is a professional crowd pleaser.  Hired by team managers, Cameron describes himself as a Fan Gladiator.  He works to win crowds by giving the something they’ve never seen before. &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/real-estate-agent-mastermind-group/2009/05/1/are-you-a-real-estate-crowd-pleaser&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>FORT LAUDERDALE: THE LEAN, GREEN SUNSHINE MACHINE</title>
 <link>http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/professional-real-estate-investors/2009/04/21/fort-lauderdale-the-lean-green-sunshi</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;A previous blog of mine cited the U.S. Department of Energy in saying that Floridians spend about 20% less per person on energy than any other state in the country. One reader wondered why.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I offered an immediate response, but the question got me thinking.  Why is Florida so energy conscious?  I conducted some research on my sunny city of Fort Lauderdale and found the simple answer in the local Sunday paper: People actually care.&lt;br /&gt;
 There was an entire section dedicated to actively going Green in our city.  Here are a few points I found. &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/professional-real-estate-investors/2009/04/21/fort-lauderdale-the-lean-green-sunshi&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Where is the split between agents who want it all done for them and agents who want to do it all themselves?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are you the DIY type or the &quot;Make It So&quot; class&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tell us what you think by answering these few short questions&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=cHZOdEJTNGJVcDB1ODM3TDlS.....&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>THE NEW FORT LAUDERDALE BEACH - WISH YOU WERE HERE!</title>
 <link>http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/professional-real-estate-investors/2009/04/8/the-new-fort-lauderdale-beach-wish-you</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;The National Association of Realtors reported a 30% decrease in the sale of second homes in 2008.  In contrast, analysts predict long-term demand for investment and vacation residences remains favorable because of those buyers in their prime years looking for a retirement home.  This may be especially the case as buyers witness the retraction in their stock portfolios and return to good old bricks and mortar in the sun! &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/professional-real-estate-investors/2009/04/8/the-new-fort-lauderdale-beach-wish-you&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Not Responding To Change Is Just Plain Stupid</title>
 <link>http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/alternative-business-models/2009/04/1/not-responding-to-change-is-just-plain-stupid</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;“It is impossible to predict the future.” That’s a statement I have made hundreds of times, both from the stage as well as in print.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yet considering the most likely scenarios and then preparing for them lessens the shock when some variation of any prediction does materialize. Being caught off guard is just foolish. Why would you fight the future? The future is coming, no matter what. &quot; &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/alternative-business-models/2009/04/1/not-responding-to-change-is-just-plain-stupid&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Does the International Market Offer Opportunities to Local US Agents?</title>
 <link>http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/alternative-business-models/2009/03/25/does-international-market-offer-opportunitie</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;For a long time most international markets have felt far away, and many Americans didn’t care nor were they very interested in foreign cities.    Although the Web has brought us closer together as a people we still remain apart. Few products or services illustrate this better than the buying or selling of a home. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But today with air travel becoming increasingly more commonplace, immigration and living choices becoming more readily available and our own market in a recession, many smart real estate companies have turned toward international expansion as a new means of controlled growth. &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/alternative-business-models/2009/03/25/does-international-market-offer-opportunitie&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>ARE YOUR BUYERS THANKING YOU?</title>
 <link>http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/real-estate-agent-mastermind-group/2009/03/18/are-your-buyers-thanking-you</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I was most interested to catch up with one of my previous buyers this week, and was pleasantly surprised to hear they were grateful for the purchase they made in 2007.  When this delightful couple acquired their beautiful deepwater residence two years ago, they negotiated hard for the purchase price. This particular buyer is a venture capitalist, extremely thorough in his approach to real estate investing and accurately predicted the market downturn. &lt;span class=&#039;read-more&#039;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lowes.inman.com/community/groups/real-estate-agent-mastermind-group/2009/03/18/are-your-buyers-thanking-you&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
