Office meeting notes from 12/2/08

Mary with Pro Kids has here to talk about the “Perfect Gift”. Approx. 1100 children languish in Hamilton County’s foster card system. With the help and support of the community, this year ProKids will provide CASA volunteers for over 400 Children. They are $15.00 each and can be ordered from Paula Coyle at SSC.
We had a long discussion on the 10 reasons to list during the holiday season. First of all you may receive more money for your home now because you have less competition. Your home shows better during the holidays. One of the highest percentages of “Listings Sold to “Listings Taken” occurs during this time of year. Winter prospects are more serious buyers. Throughout the holiday season you may restrict showings during your personal family events. Buyers have more time to look at homes during the holidays especially during vacations. January is traditionally the biggest transfer month because plants close and Corporate transferees who need to buy a home now can’t wait until spring. By selling now, you may have a delayed closing or extended occupancy until the beginning of the following year. When you sell during the winter, you have an opportunity to buy during the spring when many more homes are on the market. You may have fewer showings but more qualified and motivated prospects.
Check out our office blog at cbwswy.blogspot.com. Mike has posted all the latest office information.
Check out the e-mail from Joe King yesterday. He sent an “Automated Web Listing Distribution” chart showing how all 13 of the websites we have are downloaded.
Congratulations to Yvette, Bill, Emily, Norm and Dawn for their excellent Service Satisfaction Surveys.Don’t forget to mark you calendars for Dec. 12 for our office Christmas Party and Steve & Karen Leeker’s home in Evendale.
