Time to shake up the status quo. Beginning 3 months ago I began creating customized floor plans of all floors on most of my home listings. I believe the floor plans allow perspective buyers an additional tool for the consideration of a property.
I use a CAD program........where were these programs 20 years ago when I was doing 3 dimensional perspectives and floor plans for new home builders using a drafting table, translucent film, right angles, and artist pens that dried out?
The floor plans, when printed are not a specific scale but are scaled to the size of the home and really look great. Each reflect accurate door opening direction, window placement, overall room size, patios & porches, with the dimensions in each room.
Update: See Sample Floor Plans in Additional Services

My first blog post.......I feel naughty!
Well, I finally got it started. Here, I will post thoughts and circumstances that are occurring or have occurred in my daily duties.
How's business? Thank God the phone is ringing!
I have only been at this Real Estate game for 3 years, coming into RE/MAX with no formal Real Estate training. Just as well, I haven't pickup too many bad habits. I honestly believe that this industry has lacked the service element and intend to introduce it, or reintroduce it. I'm proud to be a Sales Person, but the reality is, the only Sales involved in this business is in getting the listing. Other than that it is all Service.
Recently, well.....frankly now, I have begun a different, a new technique for my business growth. That is referrals. Many of you I know, and others who I will make your acquaintance, will be receiving regular calls, and will be forwarded "things of value", which will hopefully be of value. The bottom line is that most agents spend 69%-85% of their time marketing and prospecting new business. I intend to mainly focus my attentions in this direction, (referrals). I have too much invested in time, money, and effort to forgo my "turnkey" marketing altogether and will continue.
I am blessed to have people in my life who know me and trust me to do what is in their best interest and the best interest of the people who they refer.
So feel free to send a referral!
