Office meeting notes 1/20/09

Thanks to Mike Kieffer for handling the meeting this week while Linda was on vacation. Mike went over how to use “Snag it” again. There is a one time charge of $49.00 for this program. He did warn everyone on what you snag and how you use it. You don’t want to violate copyrights. You can snag anything and drop it in anywhere you want it. For example (since it was Inaugural Day) he showed how easy it was to go to President Obama’s website and snag his letterhead and copied it into Word and made his own “Mike Kieffer for President” letterhead for 2013. He also showed how you can put a hyper link from MLS into your blog and/or your profile. You want to put things on your blog that would interest your clients. He talked about how he put data from Realist on to his personal web site. He showed what you can do with Photo Shop. How you can make a chair disappear from a room, trim the shrubs in front of a house, change color of grass, change brightness of photos, resize a photo, etc. It’s pretty amazing what you can do if you know how to use all these programs.

Thomas Courtney dropped by to remind everyone about the Coldwell Banker Foundation. He has a meeting with Joe next week to talk about goals for 2009 for the Foundation.

Jim Conway also dropped by to remind everyone about open enrollment coming up March 1st for the national group insurance plan from NRT. He suggested for anyone who thinks there is even a slight chance they might loose the insurance plan they have now either by divorce or job loss to sign a waiver so they can get in the national plan after the open enrollment is up. He said you will be getting an e-mail in the near future in regard to this so please read it carefully.

Next Week: Special Lunch and Learn at 11:30 – “Cost of Repairs” you don’t want to miss this one!
