A way to remember or honor that special “Special Forces” soldier in your life!

I met a very interesting lady at Barns and Nobles yesterday, I meet a lot of great people at the book store by the way.... Anyway we got to talking about Facebook and pages and the best way to advertise a wonderful coin that she has designed and patented herself to benefit a worthy cause! So here is my contribution to the cause, please take a moment to read about such a thoughtful gift!

Special Forces Memorial Coin
I have designed and produced an amazing Memorial Coin to honor all US Army Special Forces Soldiers. It is geared for widows, children, grandchildren, fathers, mothers, uncles, aunts, girlfriends, friends, team mates, anyone wishing to honor a Special Forces Soldier. All profits from the sale of this coin will go to an Special Forces specific charity, at this time benefits the Green Beret Memorial Grounds in Fayetteville NC.
Special Forces Memorial Coin
The Special Forces Memorial Coin is one of a kind in that no coin ever issued, has addressed so wide a group for the specific purpose of honoring an SF soldier. Whether they died in Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan or Stateside and whether they died in action or 40 years after leaving the service. This coin is truly . . .



"A Timeless Gift of Remembrance".

Each Coin is $10.00

So much training and lip service has been done in the realm of Social Media and Tech in the real estate industry. To tweet or not to tweet, facebook, klout, foursquare, etc... Does it work? Is it worthwhile?

And WOW! The opinions are strong aren't they? "It's a waste of time." "Show me the money." "Face to face is the only way to last." "Hop on the tech train and fade into history." "The times are a'changing, better keep up."

As with most hot topics, the answer is really in the "DOING", isn't it? Sure, it can all be a huge time drain, but what about those who do it strategically? Who put technology into their business plans and schedules and lead generation systems and wring every last drop of value out of it all? Those results can't be ignored.

I have been reviewing business plans for 2012 with all of my agents and it has been fascinating. The focus on systems and tracking that we have worked on in 2011 have yielded actual tracking results for business sources for these agents. One agent can attribute 40% of her business directly to successfuly converted SIGN CALLS! (I'll have to share her methods in another blog!)

The focused, systemized and dedicated "Techies" have remarkably high conversion rates for internet leads. They use systems, they follow schedules and the results are sales.

So obviously - my guidance has been "Play to your strengths!" If technology is working and you are working it instead of it working you - run with it in 2012! Follow it in all those new crazy directions it is bound to go - some will work and some won't. Track it and learn from it.

As one of the launch sites for a great new class called BOLD Technology that we are hosting January 26th, "Tech with a Purpose" will be the focus. Can't wait to learn, observe, and follow myself!

To Your Success!

Usually the first thing a buyer looks at when buying a house is the kitchen. Updating the kitchen to improve your home’s value can be done in just a few simple improvements.

  1. Make sure that the appliances are in good working order and match, upgrading if necessary.
  2. Repaint. A new coat of paint gives the room a fresh feel.
  3. Make sure the walls around the stove, dishwasher, sink and refrigerator are always clean.
  4. Replace cupboard and cabinet hardware with new and updated hardware. This can be found at most hardware strores.

The bathroom is another important area for most buyers.

  1. Replace towel racks with modern racks found at mose hardware stores
  2. Regrouting bathroom tiles can bring a bright new look
  3. Install a new showerhead

Freshening up your yard.

  1. Cut back bushes & shrubs
  2. Plant trees if there are some that need to be replaced. Some can usually be found on sale in home improvement stores.

  1. Home improvement stores have a lot of bedroom, closet, pantry, etc storage & organizational solutions.
