Happy New Year to One and All!
As we are all sitting here with our laptops in place, perusing the internet in search of creative ways to jump start our businesses for 2010, one of the most obvious tools is often overlooked: OUR PROFESSIONAL RESUMES AND PROFILES that are posted on the NET for the WHOLE WORLD TO SEE!
Go ahead....take a look. I'll wait.
Is your resume free to typos? Are the apostrophes in the right place? More importantly, did you put an apostrophe where there shouldn't be one?
Are you paranoid right now????? You should be!
The reality is most of us are incapable of proofreading our own work!!!! We see what our brains tell us to see and it can really hurt us in the long run!
From KnowThis.com: "Marketing consists of the strategies and tactics used to identify, create and maintain satisfying relationships with customers that result in value for both the customer and the marketer."
You all know how to market yourselves with your education and experience. Are you diminishing your VALUE if you make careless mistakes in the way you market yourself?
If you are concerned, I can help. For a limited time, I will review your resume and/or profiles for FREE. I will not be looking at CONTENT, but simple grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors.
All I am looking for in return is a testimonial so I can jumpstart this business for myself...build credibility so to speak! That's what we are all trying to do, right?
Feel free to send me your resumes and/or website links and give it a try. You have nothing to lose, but everything to gain! GUARANTEED RESULTS AND SATISFACTION GUARANTEED!!!!
My only concern right now is whether there are any TYPOS in this post!
Making Home Affordable Website Answers Consumer Questions
Uncle Sam gets an A+ for the new website released last week to promote the details of President Obama's Making Home Affordable Program. Now it is very easy to see if you qualify for the programs just by going to the website at www.MakingHomeAffordable.gov and exploring the handy interactive self-assessment tools, calculators, and lists of helpful resources.
The website prominently notes that the program is free to participants. As noted right here in this blog, foreclosure scams are big business these days. There is no need to pay any money to anyone to see if you qualify and get help. If you don't qualify, the website points you to free resources to help you find alternatives. (The Making Home Affordable program aims to help two groups of homeowners who are making a good faith effort to stay in their homes:
Borrowers who want to refinance but are unable to because the value of their home has fallen.
Borrowers who cannot make their mortgage payments because their interest rate has increased or their income has fallen.

Just taking a survey because I searched through Active Rain and didn't see the answer to my question regarding Real Estate Owned (REO) properties:
Does anyone have any success stories in which the bank agreed to make repairs? My specific question deals with the likely presence of lead paint in a house built in 1890. The buyers have a two-year-old and another one on the way. The house has been on the market for over one year and the buyers are wondering if the bank would consider bringing the home into compliance if lead paint is detected.
I have advised them that it is not likely but that you never know until you try. Again, I would just like to open up the floor for any success stories. Thank you.
I have a client who is thinking about purchasing a parcel of land here in Massachusetts to build a house on. These clients have asked me to help educate them on the prospect of building a modular home. I have not been through this process before so I would appreciate any comments, reviews and/or recommendations about the process...what to expect...what to look out for etc.
Feel free to contact me offline at judyboyle1@verizon.net if you'd prefer but I am most interested to learn more about the process, the industry, and the companies that assemble these manufactured homes. Thank you!
Happy Spring to All!
We had a beautiful day in Boston today...sunny and 70. The Boston Marathoner's are loving the New England weather forecast for Monday....Rainy in the 50's. Gosh, I love New England!
In previous posts, I have tried to gently share some of my "English Major Knowledge" and I am told that my tips are relevant and practical. Today, for a limited time only, I am offering to proofread your marketing materials FOR FREE. Locally, I charge anywhere from $25 to $50 per document, or $35 per hour. I am working on building my business nationwide and would love to help YOU LOOK GOOD!
If you are nervous about sending your materials to the printers, are trying to impress some high profile clients and aren't sure about your grammar skills, go ahead and let me be your second set of eyes. You have nothing to lose and, again, my services are FREE for a limited time.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend and may all of your meetings end up in escrow!
