"Opening Fe Gallery has been particularly satisfying. Sharing art and having a continuous flow of talent run through the gallery is an enjoyable and growing experience. It is my wish that the gallery will continue to evolve and improve. I invite you to join us during the Sacramento 2nd Saturday Art Walk and hope you enjoy visiting Fe Gallery and will come back and visit us again."
See you soon!
Stephen Lyman
Second Saturdays are big in Sacramento. From when I remembered years ago having the Second Saturday Art walk to now, the whole city seems to come alive with this event. There are several happenings from Open Houses to Charity Organizations who have their events on the same night.
One of my favorite studios is Fe Gallery and & Metal Studio. Not only do they open up their studio for their own wares, but they also have other talented artists participating.
Guest Artists for August 8, 2009 include:
Wood and Metal Sculpture by Steven Florman and Glass Art by Krista Flood
The Gallery House artists will also have their wares. Sheena Wolfe will have Fused Glass and Stephan Lyman will be showing his metal sculptures.
It is worth it just to stop by, say "Hi" and check out all the interesting works of art.

According to Trulia for the month of July, we are seeing an upswing of property sales and selling price. With this continued climb, first time home buyers need to jump on board now before housing prices go up even more. Good news for home sellers though. Realtors, start shining your shoes.

This is an article that I found on Ezine Articles that may be useful to you all. The author, Melissa Riley, who is also here on AR, has some extremely important information to share.
According to NAR's 2008 "Profile of Buyers" and how they find properties, it makes sense to market listings using the 80/20 rule:
33% find their property through a real estate agent
32% find their property through the internet
15% through a "for sale" sign
Based upon this 80%, how would you develop your listing marketing strategy?
Let's start with marketing to other real estate agents. After placing the listing on MLS, this segment is virtually disregarded by many listing agents. Do you know the top agents who are most likely to show and sell your listing? Do you have their email addresses? How do you market to them? With inventory levels high in many areas, it's important to keep your listing "top of mind" to those top agents. Prudential Real Estate Affiliates has "ecards", which are effortless to send out. Some agents use Constant Contact, and some use "Floor Plans Online". Whatever you decide to use, be consistent with your contact to agents, highlighting the most compelling features of the house.
Next is the internet: Let's begin with the basics of photos. Do your photos present your listing in the best possible light? Do they help your listing stand out from the competition? Are you maximizing the number of photos allowable on every site? Since over 87% of all buyers begin their search on the web, attention to the quality of photos becomes one of the most crucial marketing tools. Also, which sites is your company on which enable you to create a differentiation for you or your listings? Have you claimed your listings on trulia.com or zillow.com? Do you place your open houses online to drive traffic? Consumers (including us) love the detail of the information, the ability to search unassisted, that it's 2/47 and real time and the interactivity of the internet. Web presence for listing will grow rapidly for buyers as they demand more information and technology to assist them in their home search.
And, as uninspiring as they are, "for sale" signs still work. While they're not that exciting, they remain a basic tool for a consumer to find a home in an area or neighborhood with which they are already comfortable. The effectiveness of for sale signs also increases with listings with high curb appeal.
In the next few years, success in marketing listings will include a meshing of a strong, compelling and unique online presence, including social networking sites and comprehensive marketing to local, targeted agents. Top agents will persist in pushing the envelope in getting their inventory to stand out from the crowd.
I almost forgot....print advertising? A whopping 3% and dead last on the list of how buyers find properties.
