$$$$$ BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY: COUNTY APPRAISER VALUATIONS

Entire state Sales price Average: -.3% Median 0%Ranges from across the state:

Average -1.4%--10.5%Median: -.3%-17.5%

$$$$$ BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY: COUNTY APPRAISER VALUATIONSCounty appraisals will be mailed out in the next few

months There can be a 2-3 year lag time before the county appraiser

“averages” catch up to the reality of the marketplace

If you have seen reductions in average sales price in your market, the county appraiser probably won’t register it this year.

So…when the new appraisals come out, contact the folks who bought from you in the last few years and offer to do a CMA for them to see if the value assigned matches the “true market”. It makes them feel taken care of by you…and just in case they were thinking about selling and “buying up”...and who is on their doorstep???

AND REAL ESTATE Look at Twitter as an educational resource. If you can find a few people to

follow who inspire you and share insight and information that can improve the way you do business, wouldn’t that be greatWe could all be helping each other professionally.

Use Twitter as a networking resource. There are some really interesting people on Twitter. There are probably some interesting people right in your own city on Twitter. Seek them out, engage them, and increase your network. You can even meet them in real life. At least you know that you have one thing in common right away– Twitter.

You can use Twitter as a way of touching your clients. Invite your clients to use Twitter. They can follow you, you can follow them. You can all exchange information and ideas. You could notify them of new listings, open houses, share links you think they might enjoy

or find informative. Basically, you can build your very own Twitter real estate community. If you want, you can even make it private. If you set up a separate account that you only want your clients to have access to, you can

simply set the privacy settings so that only people who you approve can view your tweets.
