About Lethbridge's Lethbridge Real Estate And Mortgage By Robert May 403-330-3039

I wanted to make a new Lethbridge real estate website that I could use for doing some testing of some fancy geek technology that I have been messing around with lately. Of course, when you are setting up a website primarily for experimentation and it is in total development, you don't want to spend a ton of money on it.

I chose to use a point2 template site, bought a godaddy domain, did a redirect, and spend an hour putting up the following website:

http://www.lethbridgerealestateonline.com

Now I will admit the site isnt pretty and sure wont win any awards the way it looks and functions yet, but it does have a few key components in it that I plan to build upon and see what I can achieve with them. It is about 2am on the 5th of November, 2009 and I am curious how long it will take to get that website spidered into google and ranked. I plan to spend about 2 hours this weekend doing some optimization, and then let the site sit for a week.

The end of November I will tweak the site and add more content to it and see if I cant push it into the top 20 searches for my local real estate market. That will be quite an accomplishment if I can do that within a month, but it is a great goal and I think I have a plan and the tools to achieve it WITHOUT spending a single dime on marketing.

Testing 1 2 3, lets give this a shot.

I would love feedback from anyone who clicks on it. What parts need work, what parts look okay the way they are. I am a bit of a rookie HTML programmer, but can do enough clean it up if suggested.

Are you shopping for a home on the Lethbridge MLS?  Or wanting your home sold on the Lethbridge MLS?  Or just curious what MLS is?

What is the MLS^®?

When you want to buy a car, the pressure’s on to make the deal with that salesperson at that car dealership. You won’t hear about what’s being offered at the competing lot down the street.

That’s the exact opposite of the MLS^® used by REALTORS^® across Canada. In fact, MLS^® is all about REALTORS^® cooperating with each other, no matter what company they work for. MLS^® is a complex system that boils down to big advantages for consumers: cooperation and marketing among REALTORS^® mean better chances for you to succeed.

MLS^® was created 50 years ago to help Canadians wanting to buy or sell properties. You’re probably familiar with REALTOR.ca, the online property guide, but what began as reams of paper chock full of listing information and photos has become an online database of properties from across the country.

REALTOR^® members of the local real estate board pay for the MLS^®. That board operates the local system, while the umbrella group – the Canadian Real Estate Association – owns the MLS^® trademark.

Only REALTORS^® can list on the MLS^® and REALTOR.ca, so if you’re selling your property, you’ll benefit from the wide exposure the listing will enjoy. Other REALTORS^® use the database to present the possibilities to their clients, potential buyers for your home.

If you’re in the market to buy or looking to sell, remember that the MLS^®, REALTOR.ca and your REALTOR^® can help make your dream a reality.

Lethbridge Weightloss and Fitness

This is probably the worst part of the year for people to be thinking about weightloss. Thanksgiving is over, we all ate way too much. Halloween just passed and we all have buckets of candy and treats sitting around the house. The cold weather is coming and outdoor activity levels is dropping off rapidly.

In Lethbridge, we have several fitness facilities yet still have much of our population who struggles with weightloss. Perhaps it is due to the large number of fast food outlets, or maybe it is just due to inactivity. Regardless, having a control on one's health and fitness can not only add years to your life, but also improve the quality of life substantially.

I have to admit that I am one of the worst offenders here. I have had memberships to Lethbridge Gyms and Lethbridge fitness facilities. I have had periods of time when I went a few times a week, times when I went every day, and times that I paid $50 a month for a memberhsip to a fitness facility that I never seemed to go to.

There are many health and fitness scams out there. Yes some of them work temporarily and some of them may even work effectively but with no real proven reason or study of their other long term effects. Common sense dictates that the human body is designed to consume good food, burn energy, and work towards natural efficiency. To lose weight and improve fitness a combination of an improved diet and increased activity is the foundation which success is built upon. All the supplements in the world, diet pills, magic shakes, fruit drinks, etc will do nothing if you do not have the base of good nutrition and healthy activity.

At times when my business is booming I know that I let my own commitment to health and fitness suffer. I think we all do this. I need to get some Lethbridge weightloss and fitness planning back into my schedule. I look forward to putting a plan into action and using my blog to keep me on track.

Lethbridge Plumber

Thank goodness I have not needed the services of a Lethbridge Plumber in over a year. A Lethbridge plumber can be one of the handiest people to have saved in your phone! For some reason, it is the one service in your home that always seems to be the first to deal you a mechanical emergency.

I have had leaky pipes, leaky taps, blown hot water tank, and plugged drains. In every one of these cases there was little I was able to do myself, despite being a fairly handy guy with a gnarly set of tools. (props to Spicoli's dad).

I now have a couple of plumbers who are past clients and friends. These are guys who are reliable, affordable, and I can depend upon them when I have a Lethbridge plumbing emergency. I know that it will cost me more to have them come out on short notice, in the evening, or on the weekend, but when a plumbing catastrophe strikes the price is really not the first thing I am concerned about.

If you are involved in real estate in Lethbridge, you need to have a network of professionals. If you would like to add me and any of my Lethbridge plumber friends to your contact list of reliable available Lethbridge professionals, give me a call.

Lethbridge Lawyers

There comes a time in almost every individuals life when the services of a Lawyer are needed. If you are in Lethbridge or Southern Alberta, a Lethbridge Lawyer may be required for any number of things.

Of course, criminal defence is one of the first things that comes to mind, however it is among the least common areas of law. Other services provided by Lethbridge Laywers includes litigation, wills, business filings, estate planning, divorce, contractual arrangements, arbitration, and also real estate.

When I meet with my Lethbridge real estate and mortgage clients, the majority of them do not have a Lawyer. Most of them have never had any interaction with a Lawyer and rely upon myself to provide them with several recommendations of where to go to seek Lethbridge legal services.

I often recommend that the client not only utilizes the Lawyer to take care of their real estate and mortgage needs, but also consult them about will and estate planning at the same time. This is an issue that rarely gets discussed and almost never becomes a priority until it is too late.

I am always interested in meeting with Lethbridge Lawyers and discussing what services they can provide to my clients. I fnd that very few of them have any sort of online presence and virtually none of them do any online marketing at all. If any of the were interested in expanding their client base, they would be wise to contact front line client relationship builders and advise us how they can be a benefit to our clients.

If I have worked with you in the past or you are a current client, feel free to contact me and I will share my advice and experience on Lethbridge Laywers and hopeuflly steer you in a direction that will meet your needs.
