All Pizzas are not the same! For years I have heard pizza joints claim they have the best pizza. “Chicago style pizza here!” or “New York Pizza, eat in or take out!” Until I went to The Pizza Zone right on the border of the cities of Tampa and Brandon, I did not know the difference. Me, I’m a guy that picks up the phone and “get it done” guy. So I call closest "we deliver fast," national franchise brand pizza house. I have been doing that for years. But, apparently a lot of people do because every church function, every kids party or you name the occasion, orders the same brand name pizzas. Well my wife came home and said they had a pizza at their school that was really good and that I should try them out.
So I grabbed the trusty Flip camera and went to The Pizza Zone to give it a try. Well there's no sense me going on. Watch The Pizza Zone video to see and hear for yourself why all pizzas are not the same.
The Pizza Zone is located at 9017 Adamo Drive, Suite 111Brandon, FL. Phone number (813) 621 3434 By the way, Ben says that when you call or come by to mention this blog for a 10% discount off your order.

If your home has been listed in the MLS, and it is getting ready to expire, I would like to make a few suggestions...
Why you ask?
Because it is going to get ugly. Seriously. It is kind of funny, I talk with agents all over... not just Tampa, but all over the US... and they often say the same thing. "I'm not really looking for sellers, I am looking for buyers." And it is an odd thing to hear since as a newly expired listing you will recieve...
There is a madness to the method...
The reason that you will be inundated is that it works. It doesn't work a lot, but if they contact a couple hundred people, there will be a couple that might fly. For these agents, this is their job. It is referred to as prospecting. You and your home have been reduced to being a prospect... a number...
I've been through the sales coaching. I know the drill... Make 35 calls a day, 5 days a week. From that, expect to get 10 appointments and from that, 4 listings, "it's a numbers game".
But here is the problem...
Somewhere in the process, you became a number. Instead of spending time putting together marketing packages for homes, they are only putting together marketing packages for themselves... If they list enough properties, something will sell. Your property is a number, not a priority.
It doesn't have to be that way!
Your not just a number to me, you won't likely get a phone call from me... and certainly not at 6:00am. You might see a newsletter. If you contact me, you certainly WILL get a package regarding listing information. But, instead of dreaming up ways to market ME... I am dreaming up ways to market YOUR HOME. I am building web sites that are just for and about your home. I am looking for ways to better connect with the buyers that are in the market now. I am looking at market data and trends to see what is working. I am looking at the analytics of the marketing I have done so that I can better see what has worked.
It isn't about me. I don't want to be famous. I don't want 1000 listings. I don't need to market for my ego.
It IS about making YOUR home sell.
I do have to spend a little bit of time promoting myself... I do need some listings. But I try not to be annoying about it. I have dealt with pushy agents. The can do really well... but I think that an agent that concentrates on getting homes sold can do better than an agent that concentrates on getting themselves sold.
I look forward to hearing from you and discussing our marketing plan for your home.

A rarity in the Tampa and Brandon area! One of the few that can claim being a life time local. Local knowledge and experience was a natural fit to become a real estate professional. Localism.Com
How did I get to where I am?
I feel fortunate to have lived in the Tampa/Brandon area all of my life and yet have seen a lot of the world. My travels are the result of time spent in the Navy that introduced me to parts of Europe along the Mediterranean Sea. North American travel was extensive during a 17 year employment with Eastman Kodak.
My last ten years with Kodak prepared me with the professional experience that would be incorporated into the real estate and mortgage business. As a national public speaker, trainer and coach for Kodak, I had the opportunity to discover what people want and need most.
What do most people want?
How does one find the right real estate agent to hire? The search can be daunting. Maybe you go by the most signs that you see along the roads and byways or maybe even the most bus benches. Perhaps the "Million Dollar" or "Multi Million" or even "Multi, Multi Million Dollar Round Table" agent would be your choice.
This is where the Kodak experience comes in. I never met anyone that cared whether Kodak was a major Olympic sponsor or had invented amateur photography. No, what Kodak understood was that people cared most about their Kodak moments. What people wanted most was their memories recorded forever.
I have found that home buyers are most interested in hiring someone that understands they want more that a house. What they want beyond a house is a home. Yes, a home that provides them their own Kodak moments. They want a house that will give them memories to hold and to cherish.
Interestingly, home sellers are not removed from that same kind of sentiment. Many would be surprised at how often I hear home sellers comment that they hope we find "just the right family" to buy their home. Their memories and moments in their home extend beyond the "For Sale" sign and to a hope that we sell to someone that will love the home as they have.
When we are asked to find a 3, 4 or 5 bedroom house, our mission is to find a house that will become their home!
