Real Estate Radio USA Episode 47
January 25, 2008
Barry Johnson…
Another week has come and gone. We missed yesterday’s episode as Barry C was sick and we did not want him infesting everyone else in the studio. He was a trooper and made it back for today’s show.
We started with a news story today about foreign buyers. We have been talking about this for a couple of weeks now, but if you are not reaching the international markets with your marketing, you are missing out on a ton of potential buyers. We also mentioned some interesting ideas that some agents are doing, Foreclosure Bus Tours. They are taking 40 or so prospective buyers and showing them 10 foreclosure properties at a time and getting deals done!
As a follow up on a previous story, we played an interview from the Today Show regarding the Ummel lawsuit out in Carlsbad, California. Listen to me and Barry C rant about this and more on this episode.
Lastly, we finished up on Barry C’s blog post, “What’s In and What’s Out for 2008″. On this episode we discussed what is “Out” for 2008. No big surprises I think, except for those people out there that cannot, or will not, change this year. They are doomed to repeat 2007. Oh well, the world needs ditch diggers too…
Here are the links to the stories we discussed today:
