Home Video Walkthrough Tours
When you are looking for a home to purchase usually people begin looking online. They look through pictures of houses and usually narrow it down to just a few houses based on pictures. This makes pictures incredibly important in order for your house to sell. I've seen people not want to look at a house just because there is only one picture of the outside and they don't want to waste their time looking through it because we all figure if they don't have pictures of the inside then it must be bad.
Not only do I insist on my listings to have professional photographs of the inside but I also insist on having Home Video Walkthrough Tours to give possible buyers a greater understanding of the layout of their home.
These Home Video Walkthrough tours show prospective buyers everything in the home and sellers can avoid a lot of people walking through their home. This helps the buyers also. Can you imagine if every home had a home video walkthrough tour? Buyers could sit at home and walk through ten houses, get a feel for the layout and then decide if there was a house that they really wanted to walk through personally. This saves buyers agents time and money and more importantly the buyers save time and money.
I understand that professional video home walkthrough tours can be expensive but I believe in the long run the agents save money and it is a great value for clients who want to sell their home fast and have more ready, willing and able buyers walk through their homes.
Below is an example Video Home Walkthrough Tourthat I offer all my listings.

House Prices Rose 7% in 2012
Housing prices are rising. If you own a home chances are in 2012 that your home's value went up. Here is an interesting article I ran across this morning by Kerri Ann Panchuk from HousingWire.com.
"Home prices rose 7.3% last year, according to the latest annual report from Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices.
S&P released the results Tuesday, showing its national home price composite rising 7.3% in 2012, while the 10- and 20-city composite indices posted annual returns of 5.9% and 6.8%, respectively.
After reporting some price decline in November, the December 10-city and 20-city S&P composite indices reported gains of at least 0.2%, finishing the year strong.
In addition, nineteen of the 20 metro statistical areas experienced year-over-year growth, with only New York prices retracting, S&P said.
"Home prices ended 2012 with solid gains," said David Blitzer, chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. "Housing and residential construction led the economy in the 2012 fourth quarter. In December's report all three headline composites and 19 of the 20 cities gained over their levels of a year ago. Month-over-month, 9 cities and both composites posted positive monthly gains. Seasonally adjusted, there were no monthly declines across all 20 cities."
Early in 2012, the national composite hovered at a lower level before surging in the second and third quarter and then slipping slightly in the fourth, S&P noted. In addition, both composites reached bottom in March and experienced monthly and year-over-year gains in December.
However, S&P suggests the 2012 price appreciation data shows housing on the upswing, but its strongest gains may have already been reached.
On a city-by-city basis, Atlanta and Detroit posted their largest annual increases of 9.9% and 13.6%, respectively. Dallas, Denver and Minneapolis saw prices rise the most year-over-year since 2001, while Phoenix continued to soar with prices rising 23% annually and the state posting eight months of double-digit annual growth."

La Crosse Loan Pro Scott White
A few months ago I got involved with a Business Referral Group here in La Crosse, WI. As a REALTOR my business is almost 90% referral based so I need to find creative ways to get referrals. I met Scott White at one of these business referral groups. Scott and I have hit it off and since I have given him a referral that he has worked wonders with and is in the process of getting my clients a loan who got turned away by a bank.
I came across his website this morning and noticed that he had made some cool changes. Check it out at http://www.laxloanpro.com/home.html
I can't recommend Scott more. He really cares about people and he proves it by coming to where you are to get your loan done for you. He helps you build your credit so that you can acquire a loan, he helps you through the process to make it happen and get er' done! His easy-going personality makes you comfortable and puts your mind at ease.
If you have been turned down by a bank for a mortgage loan and don't know what to do next then I recommend you check out Scott's website and give him a call. Once you are approved for a loan or beginning the loan process I can help you find that perfect home for you! I can't wait to work with you!

Open Home Pro iPad app
Open Home Pro is an iPad app for REALTORS to use when conducting an Open House. This app is incredibly beautiful, sleek and professional.
When a REALTOR hosts an open house they ask visitors to write down their information on a sign-in sheet. With Open Home Pro this app not only gets the visitors information but you can ask them other questions as well such as "Are you working with an agent?", "How long have you been looking for a home?" and "Do you have a home to sell?". These answers are then stored in the app and on the OpenHomePro.com website in your account.
I've looked into other Open House apps and they don't even come close to this app. There are many other features to this app that you can read on their website. http://www.openhomepro.com/
I highly recommend this app to any agent that does open houses even just once in their whole life because it makes you look professional and keeps track of your leads better than any sign-in sheet ever could.
Below are some screen shots of the app and as always let me know what you think...

The Social Connections Facebook App
I've been looking for creative ways to advertise my "REALTOR-ness" and I really like this facebook fan page app that I ran across in my explorations. It's called Social Connections...
"The Social Connections app from REALTOR.com® is the Facebook app that brings the power of lead-generation to your Facebook Business page. It's free, sets up in seconds, and gets progressively more powerful as you plug in REALTOR.com® and Top Producer solutions."
It's an app that works with your facebook business fan page and can generate leads for you and is fun to work with.
If you use this app for facebook let me know what you think. I'll post an update later on to let you know what I think of it after I have time to figure it out.
