I LOVE Referrals!

Referrals are important in any business, but especially with a commission-based occupation like real estate. Looking for new clients can be a full time job in itself, and referrals can go a long way in making that job a little easier. If you have worked with someone on a project, and they met or exceeded your expectations, please give them a good referral. In fact, tell everyone you know!

Another satisfied client writes: "I started the process by telling Claire that I would be a handful. I was extremely picky but I knew what I wanted and Claire exceeded my expectations. She was available and always kept me in the know and informed. She was truly a blessing at a stressful time and found us the perfect rental. I look forward to working with her when I purchase my home. Thank you, Claire, for everything!" -- Andrea

Andrea was a referral from her cousin, who was also a satisfied client! Both ladies were lovely to work with, and are looking to buy in a year. 

I love referrals! Want help buying, selling or investing in real estate? I'm your gal!

Who Wants to Make More Money in Real Estate?

Happy Monday! I got some GREAT news when I went to the office today. Keller Williams is outperforming our entire real estate board! In May, we paid out over a MILLION DOLLARS in commission. That was just MAY. Year to date: listings are UP 35%, listings sold volume UP 51% and closed volume is UP 32%. You can't argue with numbers like that! Bottom line, KW agents make more money. Interested? Even if you're not in Fort Worth, there are KW agents all over the world making this kind of money. (Did I mention we have profit sharing??) Contact me!

Tidy Up Around the House

It's summer, so if you were thinking about spring cleaning, you're a little late. But any time is a good time to spruce things up around the house. Whether you are trying to sell your home or not, taking care of these chores will make things nice for YOU (yes, you deserve it!):

1. Make sure your entrance way says “Hey, look at me!”
2. Prune dead limbs from trees.
3. Paint (or touch up) exterior, and repair screens and windows.
4. Clean your windows.
5. Check A/C and heating systems.
6. Fix leaky faucets, toilets, and faulty lights.
7. Vacuum drapes and carpets.
8. Repair wall cracks, re-caulk bathrooms and kitchen.
9. Clear out closets.
10. Remove excess furniture.
11. Mow lawn, edge driveway and walkways
12. Ensure windows, doors, and locks work smoothly.
13. Weed flower beds and trim shrubs.
14. Throw out junk from garage and storage areas.
15. Clean lawn furniture.
16. If you have a pool, make it crystal clear.

Looks like a pretty good "honey do" list if you ask me! Now, get off the internet and get to work! ;)
