Real Estate Sales and the Art of the Salesman ? Real Estate ...

betterluck.jpg

This post is about the art of selling in real estate, but includes a look at the salesperson as a whole. Each sales person may have the same general qualifications that make them good, as does each Doctor, Lawyer, Educator and so on.

As with the aforementioned categories, each has a specialty. The Doctor as an expert in the treatment of the kidneys, heart, skin, teeth and so forth. The same with the lawyer, whether their practice is in criminal, defense, corporate or real estate law, their general traits are the same as their associates, but their areas of expertise lie elsewhere. And not to beat the drum, but an educator goes on with specialties from pre-school teachers through college professors.

So it is with salespeople, each has a specialty. And each has the same general qualifications which include things like having an outgoing personality, being assertive, having good organization skills coupled with good follow up skills as well as the skin to handle rejection.

Salesmen can be specialists in the way of clothing lines, technology, automobiles or real estate. They must learn their product lines and the ins and outs of what makes a particular product better than another and what their competitors are offering. The higher the sticker price, the higher the commission and the higher the specialized field of knowledge will be for the salesperson.

A myth (with regards to sales people) is that they will hound you to death. Remember, as a consumer, you were trying to find a certain thing to buy. When you could not find it, you started asking questions to a sales person.

When someone starts asking questions to a salesperson, this is the salesperson?s green light to gather more information. It means the customer needs help and is trying to articulate what the end product will be. A salespersons job by definition is to help a customer find a solution.

So, when you tell a salesperson no, and they continue asking for more information, what you have is a really good salesperson. A good salesperson will never hear the word no.

No to them, means maybe, maybe not today, maybe in a different format, maybe at a different price. So, no, for a good salesman, becomes a new effort on looking for the correct product for you, the consumer.

As noted earlier, this post is about selling in the real estate industry and the sales people that work in it. As a Realtor, this sales position takes on new meaning as you are legally accountable to the state. So, you better be on your game, the state protects the consumer, not the Realtor. And, why not, this is potentially the biggest purchase in most people?s lives, they should have protection.

A Realtor can be described with the general job description of other salespeople. The Realtor must also be very technically savvy, have great phone skills, own a good car with extra insurance coverage, dress well and know how to act professionally.

They must also pass initial state testing and criminal background checks as well as take annual update courses and any mandatory classes as presented by their local board. The job also comes with ethical standards to abide by plus plenty of national, local and just plain old business fees.

As a Realtor, you have to know your market. This includes the idiosyncrasies of each neighborhood, the schools, the builders and the general area. The area information includes the demographics, commute times, the schools, the stores and the local businesses along with any businesses that are relocating to your town.

There?s still more-that?s why those commissions look so big! Realtors are expected to cover a lot of territory, not only in their car. Once a Realtor helps you find a home, or helps you sell a home, they have to be familiar with all of the home inspections, surveys, lending procedures and the law.

Your Realtor will guide you from the beginning to the end of your real estate transaction. They will be making sure that you are able to move from one location to the next with as little stress as possible. Sure, its part of the sales industry, but being a Realtor requires specialized knowledge. This is a service oriented business created to protect consumers as they go about buying and selling their homes.

The moral of the story, don?t be weary of sales people, we?re just here doing our job. Like you?re just out doing your job, our job descriptions may just read a little differently.Make sure to call on a Realtor next time you have questions about real estate, we?re not out to hound you to death. We?re here to help.

Climate change miscues may shrink species? outer limits

Ecological partnerships are getting out of sync, especially at high latitudes

Web edition : 12:21 pm

Throughout the world, climate change is causing age-old ecological partners to miss their cues as seasons shift. The trend may be so strong at higher latitudes that researchers now propose that some species? ranges could actually shrink away from the poles.

This idea comes from studying broad-tailed hummingbirds that migrate north from Central America each spring to high-altitude breeding sites in the western United States. With only brief mountain summers to raise chicks, male hummingbirds typically arrive in the region before the first flowers bloom and scout for territories.

Around the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Gothic, Colo., near the upper limit of the broad-tailed hummingbird breeding range, the gap between the first hummingbird arrival and the first bloom has narrowed by roughly 13 days during the last four decades. Amy McKinney of the University of Maryland in College Park and her colleagues report the discovery online May 14 in Ecology.

Glacier lilies start blooming roughly 17 days earlier than they did in the 1970s, but birds haven?t sped up nearly as much. In a few extreme years, lilies have already started blooming before the first hummingbird showed up. Researchers calculate that if the timing trends continue, in about two more decades the males will routinely miss the first flowers.

Other flowers do bloom throughout the summer, but losing the beginning of the flowering season cuts into an already tight breeding schedule. Around the Rocky Mountain laboratory, broad-tailed hummingbird pairs now have time to raise only one brood, with at most two chicks, per summer. And as far as timing goes, McKinney points out, ?they?re already falling behind.?

If shifts in available flowers end up hampering efforts to raise chicks, then this northerly zone of current breeding territory may someday dwindle away.??

Such timing mismatches are probably very common, says evolutionary ecologist Marcel Visser of the Netherlands Institute of Ecology in Wageningen. He has documented difficulties with the spring return of migratory European birds, called pied flycatchers, that have been left behind by earlier and earlier peaks of caterpillars that would once have fed the chicks.

Some broad-tailed hummingbirds that breed farther south have less of a problem, McKinney and her colleagues report. By pooling decades of data collected for various projects, the group compared timing on the north rim of the birds? breeding range with almost 30 years of bloom and bird records at sites in Arizona. There?s no clear-cut narrowing of the gap between arriving males and the first blooms of an Indian paintbrush species that starts off the nectar season.

Climate change ecologist Anthony Richardson says he?s not yet convinced that higher latitudes on land really do see more dramatic changes in timing of biological events. And marine trends so far seem to lessen with increasing latitude, reports Richardson, of the University of Queensland in St. Lucia, Australia.

What?s needed now, says hummingbird study co-author David Inouye of the University of Maryland, is more data on timing of events in whole communities of creatures. As ranges change at different rates, he says, ?I think we?ll see a lot of shuffling.?

We would like to give away one paying customer. We aquired this customer in the purchase of another company but they do not fit into our business model.

The specs of the package are:

100MB
5GB bandwidth
Cpanel

They only use 2mb of disk space.

The previous company charged them $47.40 per year with a free domain name. The domain name is held in an account at Resellerclub and will be pushed to your account or you can transfer to your own registrar.

We would like to give this customer away to the first respondent who can take them. We will supply the domain name auth code to transfer and a cpanel backup so you can restore to your service. Once a suitable host is found and the transfer is made we will let the customer know.

Please PM me and we can make the transaction tonight.

Thanks

Travel options now multiplied with Central American locations

Central America is a band, or in simple terms a piece of land, that unites two particular continents, namely South and North America. It comprises of 7 nations- They are Guatemala, Belize, Panama Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Other than Belize, Spanish citizens had occupied the remaining areas during early 1500s. The Spanish built a colonial empire over there until they were ousted in the war of independence that occurred in the year 1821. Moreover, Central America politically united after struggle of independence, which earlier labor efforts had failed.

Geographically, Central America houses plenty of active and dormant volcanoes. This has great significance in influencing the culinary skills of the locals and the cuisine. It is so because the volcanic eruptions have filled soil of this continent with minerals and nutrients. These minerals have created the most biodiversity rich areas of the globe.

It is home of making the best coffee amongst many nations. Coffee production is very prevalent in most parts of the sub-continent.

Costa Rica is amongst the best travel destinations that are preferred by tourists in every part of the world. Costa Rica has been parted in seven provinces. Guanacaste Province has been visited the most and its popularity has only risen. It is situated in North West portion of the country with its seacoast adjacent to Pacific Ocean. It?s neighboring provinces are- Puntarenas and Alajuela. In the northern portions, it shares borders with a country named Nicaragua. Guanacaste has a blend of all sites and places that make travelling worthwhile. There are beautiful waterfalls, exotic beaches and volcanoes, all in one province itself. Guanacaste Province?s capital city is Liberia and it has the only international airport in Costa Rica besides the San Jose airport. One reason of the place being so popular among people from foreign countries is that the weather of this place is very dry, hot and there is lot of sun on most of the days.

Once people only indulged in only in fishing in this village, Tamarindo has transformed to an area, which today is completely developed and reachable tourist place. It is situated on central western coast of Nicoya Peninsula. The town of Tamarindo offers tourists from all financial backgrounds to experience this region?s exotic and untouched beaches and magnificent biodiversity. This is best experienced in vacation home rentals as it expands the fun. The vacation rentals are full of surprises. In spite of the ongoing rectification and construction work, this town still keeps alive the old feelings and vibes of the laidback and old-fashioned town, which has now become characteristic of this region.

Tamarindo is separated from Playa Grande by the R?o Matapalo, which is an uninspiring plantation of seashore filled with pebble-rock; an exception is the coming of several tide pools, which are bared open during low tides.? However, people love to surf along this place as they find it ideal even if they are amateurs. Many international surfing championships are held here, which is proof that shows how good the competition gets due to good quality of surfs. Visitors who wish to seek luxurious accommodations have the option of going to Playa Langosta, which is a scenic beach close to R?o San Francisco.

With fat: What's good or bad for the heart, may be the same for the brain

Friday, May 18, 2012

It has been known for years that eating too many foods containing "bad" fats, such as saturated fats or trans fats, isn't healthy for your heart. However, according to new research from Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH), one "bad" fat?saturated fat?was found to be associated with worse overall cognitive function and memory in women over time. By contrast, a "good" fat?mono-unsaturated fat was associated with better overall cognitive function and memory.

This study is published online by Annals of Neurology, a journal of the American Neurological Association and Child Neurology Society, on May 18, 2012.

The research team analyzed data from the Women's Health Study?originally a cohort of nearly 40,000 women, 45 years and older. The researchers focused on data from a subset of 6,000 women, all over the age of 65. The women participated in three cognitive function tests, which were spaced out every two years for an average testing span of four years. These women filled out very detailed food frequency surveys at the start of the Women's Health Study, prior to the cognitive testing.

"When looking at changes in cognitive function, what we found is that the total amount of fat intake did not really matter, but the type of fat did," explained Olivia Okereke, MD, MS, BWH Department of Psychiatry.

Women who consumed the highest amounts of saturated fat, which can come from animal fats such as red meat and butter, compared to those who consumed the lowest amounts, had worse overall cognition and memory over the four years of testing. Women who ate the most of the monounsaturated fats, which can be found in olive oil, had better patterns of cognitive scores over time.

"Our findings have significant public health implications," said Okereke. "Substituting in the good fat in place of the bad fat is a fairly simple dietary modification that could help prevent decline in memory."

Okereke notes that strategies to prevent cognitive decline in older people are particularly important. Even subtle declines in cognitive functioning can lead to higher risk of developing more serious problems, like dementia and Alzheimer disease.
