I am trying to figure out what kind of open house is the most effective. The pros of the Agent Open House is typically put them on during the week, easier to get agents to your house than clients, Great way to get feedback on your listing. The pros of Client Open House is possiblity of finding new clients to work with, Help build your contact lists for future clients. If you are only going to have one, which is the best?

The County I live in has a program, ran by the Chamber of Commerce, called Leadership Berkeley. It is a program made for business and community leaders. To get into the program you have to be nominated by someone in the community. You then have to fill out an application, and then a committee confirms or denies each applicant. This year I was nominated and accepted into the program. I am looking forward to such a great opportunity to all the upcoming lessons and networking opportunities. I have been actively involved with the Chamber for a few years now and have been very interested in this program. Tonight is the first time I will meet the group, its orientation night. I am really excited. I will give updates after every Leadership Lesson. Thanks Aaron Poling

The Housing Boom and Bust, by Thomas Sowell is an excellant read for everyone in a real estate related field. This book explains why we ended up in this economic crisis. It also explains how we can work our ways out of it and avoid it in the future. Let me know what you think.
Thanks Aaron Poling

This is a picture from Long & Foster Foxcroft Avenue Community Day. Our office decided to donate food to a local food bank for our community day. We also donated hygeine products to be handed out at the food bank to those in need. This was a day that I was very proud of. It is important to help those in need and help support our community. As an industry we are struggling in this down economy. There are people that dont have food, shelter and the most basic items. It is a great feeling knowing that you helped someone. my goal is to make community day more than one day per year.
Thanks

When I decided to get into real estate I had to take the real estate principles class. It is a 90hr class that was held monday and wednesday nights for three hours a night. I took the class since the market has been bad so a class that would normally be thirty students was only eleven. As you can imagine our class formed a pretty strong bond between the students. After the conclusion of class we all stayed in touch and try to give each other support with our new careers. A few of us started meeting every monday morning to network with each other and help work through potential problems. It was a great idea. Because some of our classmates work other jobs and are starting real estate part time it is difficult for everyone to meet on monday mornings. Tonight we had our first evening meeting/bbq, and I had a blast. I encourage everyone to make the most out of networking and making contacts within the business. I think too many agents dont want to network with other agents because they know they wont sell them any property, but this goes beyond making a sale. We have built a real estate family. We dont all work for the same brokerages and we dont all have the same goals but it works. Just wanted to share this. Thanks
