For some reason, I have been pushing off and pushing off buying halloween candy this year. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I have not seen a single trick or treater besides my own kids in the past 4 years. And yet, every halloween, I picture the poor kids standing on my porch all dressed up, and me with no candy to give them. So once again, I decide to pick some up.
Since it's been 4 years out of the game, I didn't know what candy was in and what candy was out. I did a little research and found what I think is the best answer. I came across this article on MSN.Com about good candy thats good for you. It also lets you know which candy is worst for kids to be eating. It helped me choose what to get, so I hope it helps you too!

Hello Everyone! I just wanted to quick write about a site I was just informed about. It's called Oodle.com and it's very similar to Craigslist.
It's super easy to register, you just pick a user name and a password, verify your e-mail and bam your in.
After you register head over to "Post a Free Ad" - If you choose the "Real Estate" category, it takes you through step and step and you can enter really specific things such as: a description, a phone number to reach you (the agent), price, bedrooms, bathroom, year built, MLS #, squar feet, etc. You can also add pictures.
In my opinion it is much more organized and nicer to look at than craigslist. I think people will agree, and would much rather use oodle over any other classified or listing site. I guess only time will tell, but in the mean time, i'm deffinately throwing all my listings on there.
Make it an awesome day!

Whenever I get a new listing, there are a lot of things that need to be done. Post it to all my marketing websites, record the new talking house and 800 number script etc. But the one thing I do that sellers really appreciate is the property booklet.
It's also great for buyers who are viewing the home. If they are going to see multiple homes in one day, and my listing is the only one they walk away w/ somethihng to remind them of all the great features, my chances of them deciding on taking a second look greaten.
I'm fairly positive most agents offer something similiar to this. But just in case this is a new idea to someone, or maybe your not happy with what you put in your booklet, here is what I use....
Page 1 :
I created a format in Microsoft word with simple headings such as " A Wonderful Place to Call Home" and underneath that I place a picture of the home with my trend description underneath that. At the very bottom I insert a picture of myself & my info next to it. The page looks like this. FYI - These are all in color in the actual booklet.
Page 2:
On the second page I put some property info and some pictures of the home. I put information such as Area, Style, Bedrooms, Baths, Lot size, Age, Basement, Taxes, Exterior, Roof, Heating, Air Conditioning, School District, Water & sewer. Then I put 4 pictures, ususally main floor rooms such as Kitchen, Living Room, Dining Room & Family Room. It looks like this.
Page 3: Is all pictures. I use Bedroom shots, Bathroom Shots, and sometimes back yard or deck shots. It looks like this.
Page 4-6: This is where I put the First American Home Buyers Protection Corporation booklet. It's 3 pages, and it explains everything about Home Warranties. It looks like this.
Page 7 - ??
These pages are the school district reports for whichever area the property happens to be in. Some bigger areas can be 5-6 pages long, and smaller ones could be 2-3, all depending on the amount of private and public schools available in the area. It looks like this.
Page 10 - 15: I insert the properties Sellers Disclosure. I'm sure every agent knows what this looks like, but just in case here's what page 1 looks like.
Next goes my personal guarantee. This will change for agent to agent but here is what mine looks like.
Last but not least. The back of my booklet is the home page of my personal website, www.glenrussell.com. My front and back pages are printed on card stock and then I bind it with a binding machine. I ususally make about 10-15 booklets for the first batch, and then I send them out in packs of 5 at a time.
My last page looks like this.
I hope this gives some of you guys some ideas!!
Make it an awesome day!

Hello All! Last night I had the pleasure of going to "The Brick House," located on High St in Pottstown. I realize it's not exactly "new" anymore, but if you have not been there yet, I urge you to go!
The food was wonderful, the atmosphere was classy, but most importantly, the bill was very very reasonable. From the looks of your surroundings it seems like the type of place where a simple beer would be 7 dollars, but again, everything was priced perfectly.
It really isn't your typical dive bar at all! I honestly feel this is a great addition to our area. I wish them the best of luck and I will deffinately be dining there again and again.
If anyone reading this has also been there, please feel free to tell me what you thought of it.
Make it an awesome day!

ONE SATISFIED CLIENT AFTER THE NEXT....
"The Team excelled at customer service. Getting back to us and answering all of our questions were no problem for them. We would use Keller Williams Realty & The Glen Russell Team again! We couldn't think of one thing they could improve upon." The Faiths
"We had a unique situation and the Team never gave up trying to find the right home for us. We have used the team more than once. Several of my family members have used the Glen Russell team for their real estate needs. They did an excellent job overall and always stayed in touch with us." - The Schaeffer's
"We had found a home we really wanted soon after listing ours. Glen calmed our fears of not being able to move forward by guaranteeing the sale of our home in writing so we could put in a firm offer with no contingency. Even better, the Team sold our home for more than our asking price in time to close on our new house. When we sold our first home with Glen, he offered an 18th month guarantee. If we were not satisfied he would sell our house for free. We decided to move within the 18 months, and his team sold us the home we always wanted - for FREE! Thanks Glen Russell Team!" The Santangelo's
"The very best realtor I've ever had; he's exceptional! Glen Russell helped me out so much. I can't say enough good things about all he did for me. He was always there to answer any question I had, and made me so relaxed during the whole process. He sold both of my homes in 3 days!!!!! The Glen Russell Team will never let you down." Dawn Wrenfrow 2005
"The Glen Russell Team excels at following up with phone calls and attention to detail. I felt like I was taken care of and someone was always in my corner. I would use The Glen Russell Team again. - Megan Bell
"In these uncertain times in the real estate market, we turned to the Glen Russell Team to sell our house. Having used the Glen Russell Team in the past, we knew that Glen and his team would be aggressive in marketing our house. To our delight, we received an acceptable offer within 10 days of listing the house. We were hoping for it to sell quickly, but never dreamed it would have happened so fast. We give thanks and credit to Glen and his team for marketing and ultimately selling our house. The entire selling process could have been a stressful time for our family, but thanks for Glen, it was a seamless transaction. It just goes to show you, if you hire the right realtor, your house will not sit on the market even during a slow period." Yvonne Rantz 2008
"I have had the distinct pleasure of working with the Glen Russell Team twice. The first time was to sell my mother's house. During this extremely stressful time, Glen was always available to take my call and answer every question I had. He had a list of contractors available, and I used several of them to work on the house. They all did great work and were very reasonably priced. Glen made solid suggestions and by following them, the house sold in 2 hours at our asking price. A year later, I went to the team again, but this time to sell and purchase a home for my family. I worked with Coleen and she was always willing to answer any of my questions and handle everything that i threw at her. She was extremely professional and such a pleasure to work with. Again, with the suggestions from Glen we were able to sell our home in 5 days. After a lot of hard work, this team put my family in our dream home! I have been tremendously pleased and satisfied with the energy of the Glen Russell Team. I would recommend this team of professionals to anyone buying or selling a house." Pam Myers 2005
