Connect with Local Businesses- The Rhode Island Story. Connecting with your peer and local businesses is anWickford Kitchen and Bath store kitchen done important part of any referral business. Do you do it consistently?

Well if you are like most Realtors or businesses you have great intentions but the business of satisfying customers may get in the way. Just remember that the local hardware store, pet store, clothing store, consignment shop and kitchen and bath store all offer us opportunities for expanding our breadth of exposure as well as theirs.

Helping other businesses with SEO (search engine optimization) for the various search engines is as important in North Kingstown real estate as it is for a kitchen and bath store...but they just did not know it! As a North Kingstown real estate agent, I have spent time over the last several months stopping in at Wickford Kitchen and Bath store to bounce off lead generating ideas with them. We worked on their SEO a bit and they have more to do, showed them how to improve their pictures by using Picnik, direct mail target marketing, etc. They invite me in to bounce ideas off of me from time to time.
Now is it not a great way to synergize and help a fellow business owner by sharing what has worked for you? Refer a possible lead right to them. Then the business manager said that she wants to do ALL the kitchens in a particular "high end" neighborhood. I said why not...have you sent out a targeted mailing campaign to them yet (yes, Barbara Todaro's mentoring has paid off)? The business owner and business manager's mouths just dropped a mile. I like that idea one of them said & the other one just grinned- I love it when you come in Ginny you have such great marketing ideas.
But wait, I was not done yet...how about 'hosting' a new kitchen party for one of these high end North Kingstown homes after kitchen completion and have the homeowner invite their friends and you pay for the party? Oh, they were thrilled...they had not thought of that one yet either. Well this is the way to stay in the front of their minds on referrals and I hope to have one coming my way soon from them!
It is satisfying as a North Kingstown Realtor to spread the knowledge especially when it is so well appreciated by the local Wickford RI businesses. It will come back to you twofold. What are you doing to help your local businesses connect? Connect with Local Businesses- The Rhode Island Story.

Are You Buying a North Kingstown home?

It is a question a consumer will be asked quite a bit as one goes from open house to open house just 'looking' at homes. The choices of

Buying North Kingstown real estate

North Kingstown homes for sale is varied as well as the prices. Some may be priced above the real estate marketable price and others right on the money to move the home quickly.

From experience with buyers it is very important to have a Realtor represent your interests when you are out searching for a home. No winging it by yourself! You need someone to protect and act in your interests and in good faith on any home purchase. Remember the listing agent or for sale by owner you meet represent the seller or owner Not you.
A local North Kingstown realtor will get you pre-approved through a mortgage lender (supply a choice of reputable lenders) to start the process. As a buyer you need to know what you can afford and what your are comfortable paying monthly on a mortgage (with insurance, real estate taxes and perhaps HOA fees). A realtor will prep you on all you need to be aware of in this area.
A local North Kingtown realtor knows the local real estate market best...from new developments in building, changes on environmental issues, town happenings and other significant items that may be occurring in the area you want to buy in (i.e. a wind turbine being built next door). Deciding what timeline of purchase you are on makes a difference too...perhaps a short sale or foreclosure home may be attractive to you to buy? These are the questions that must be filtered out by the real estate agent since some homes are bought 'as is'.
You want a North Kingstown real estate agent who negotiates well (just does not want the sale!) for you, gets you through the home inspection process and ensures all items are being met on the seller's side to move towards closing. These are just a few of the things an agent does for you at no cost to you! Choose wisely and you will not be disappointed in your home purchase outcome.

Here is an example of a newer North Kingstown RI home for sale priced at $309,000 with 3North Kingstown RI Home for Sale- Foreclosed real estate bedrooms, 2 full updated baths, a granite kitchen with upscale cabinets, Andersen windows, gas heat, town water, sliders to a huge deck overlooking at 1.6 acre yard in a quiet neighborhood.

Do You Want Your Name as a Realtor a Household Name?

Do You Want Your Name as a Realtor a Household Name? As the month comeschild playing in north kingstown real estate to a close and the real estate closings line up for closing times (hopefully so), some clients you may be closer to personally than others. Perhaps it is the personalities involved as well as the 'sticktuitiveness' that we both, as some clients and realtors have.

It is not unusual to work on multiple houses for a client from the selling end of one home to the buying home of another. Sometimes it can take years and other times months- it just all flows well. Babies can be born, animals acquired, and more than the usual stuff for sure. It is why you want your name to remain a household name with your clients. Clients for life we always hope for.

Sharing is caring and good deeds help. One of my past clients has an adorable child and over the course of many months of his growing into his 'twos' we always had contact. He never uttered more than two words around me but he always was so mischievous and playful. He kept his mom in constant motion.

Last week she called me to say that my North Kingstown realtor picture came up on the computer when they were GOOGLing something in North Kingstown real estate and little 'buddy' saw my picture on the screen and said 'INNY' ! And kept pointing...I have been reduced to an' INNY' now (I thought that had to do with belly buttons)...yes, a realtor as a household name out of the mouth of babes. Well grandma & grandpa who were there were not so pleased because he has no names for them! But he knows my name! Too funny.

Now if I can make that happen across the board with the North Kingstown real estate consumer and beyond, I will be on cloud nine. Do You Want Your Name as a Realtor a Household Name?

Day and Night - Rhode Island Living. It is Like the difference between day and night sometimes and not just in RI real estate. When the weather changes on the East coast it changes in a big way. On Saturday we were consumed with a huge snow storm after having not received any measurable amount of snow this winter. The snow storm blocked many secondary roads with cars. Unfortunately, Rhode Islanders have a lot of trouble maneuvering cars in the snow- not sure why that is. You really do not want to be driving here during a snow storm!

Rhode Island Living- rhode island real estate

Blowing and howling winds ensued and a picture of the North Kingstown waterfront showed as an ice castle landscape and the way Rhode Island living can be when wintery.

Now consider this three days later at the same location in the Mount View community of North Kingstown and the temperatures were no longer in 20 degrees. Not at all in the Rhode Island frigid range of the 20's but in the 50 degree range (yes that is fahrenheit!).

Venturing down the drive I do for waterfront camera shots, I could not help but compare the scenic North Kingstown waterfront views on two different days. Perhaps it has to do with the huge solar activity going on in the sun right now. It just presented this realtor with another way to capture magnificent landscape for out of state buyers especially.

We are blessed with four unique seasons here and now we can say that rhode island living has additional seasons within its coldest season. Today was a spectacular spring experience in January to enjoy. It is Day and Night - Rhode Island Living.
