The way we work is constantly changing, especially now with the focus on working in the Cloud. But the Cloud isn't about just the latest and coolest app for your iPhone. There are tools out there (many free!) that will help you work more efficiently and streamline your systems. Check out pages 22-23 of the Austin REALTOR® May/June magazine for a short interview they did with Verl Workman about working in the Cloud.

A common experience for all of us who live in winter climates is to get stuck in the snow--and the harder you try to get "unstuck" the more your wheels spin.
This analogy works in real estate too. I talk to agents and brokers all over the country, and many of them are stuck, too, spinning their wheels trying to generate some business to get out of the “snow bank” they’ve been stuck in for the past couple of years. I guess they could keep spinning … or they could wait until spring when the “snow melts” … or they could call and get some help!
I can and want to help you—there is no reason to be spinning out of control right now. There are buyers in the market, sellers that need your help, and systems that will help you get to them. Just as your clients need you to help and coach them through the treacherous real estate transaction, at Pinnacle Quest we want to help you. We are prepared to give you the tools, training and trade secrets that will help you get going again. If you feel like you are already going, then we’ll help you get going faster and more efficiently!

You've probably been hearing about "The Cloud" for some time now. And you're probably asking yourself "So what's the big deal?", "Can it make me money?" or "How do I get started using the Cloud?" If so, then this video is for you! Verl Workman will give you a brief overview of the Cloud, how to use it in real estate (and for fun!) and why this new way of working is revolutionizing the work place...and our productivity!
OK, so I like to cook! I’ve learned that cooking and baking are very different. I’d have to admit that I prefer whipping up a Cajun chicken pasta over baking a cake. It’s not that I don’t like cake, but when I cook I am able to create, to use my imagination and combine key ingredients that create unique flavors and ultimately a great meal. The greatest pleasure I get from cooking is not from the meal itself, however, but from the reaction of the people for whom I am cooking (my core value.) I love to watch other people enjoying eating my creations.
Success in real estate is very much like cooking. You start with basic principles that always work (the recipe), add some personality and a variety of new ingredients, add to that your core motivating values and a coach that can help you make necessary adjustments along the way, and you’ll be headed in the right direction.
I’ve been thinking about the real estate market lately. (Who doesn’t, right?) The March home sales report that recently came out said home sales were up last month. That’s good news, but I get the feeling that most agents are still wondering when it’s going to happen to them?
In my speaking business, I have definitely noticed a difference in how busy I am. I’ve been blessed with a lot of speaking events so far this year, but what I am hearing from the agents out there still concerns me. As I speak to agents I find that while most admit that things are improving, they are still really struggling with what to do to take advantage of the business that is definitely out there.
From time to time I just think we have to ask ourselves the hard question whether what we are currently doing is really working? I know I’ve had to really buckle down with my real estate business and put some new practices – along with several old ones – into place in order to keep my real estate practice successfully growing.
Lately, I’ve been speaking on a new topic that everyone, brokers and agents alike, seem to really enjoy. (When that happens I call it a “Hot Topic!”) Earlier this year I launched my first of several events titled, “Get Your Head In the Cloud and Make it Rain!” It’s definitely been a Hot Topic! It is cutting-edge and I share web sites, free downloads, cool tools and systems that really get your creative juices flowing.

In the depths of an historic real estate downturn, top agents are using branded online property analysis solutions to capture real estate investors as clients and drive deals. http://www.prweb.com/releases/2100/01/prweb4683074.htm
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 27, 2010
According to an ongoing survey conducted by eRealInvestor, Inc., 29% of today’s property buyers characterize themselves as investors, and 66% of property buyers state they are seeking properties that are available at a significant discount to appraised value, or will generate cash flow as a rental.
To address this emerging “investment-minded buyer” segment, top real estate agents have found a solution in eRealInvestor's Property Hub, a personalized online platform for their prospects and clients to search and analyze investment properties. For example, Sammy Hastings in California’s Bay Area, has invited his entire client list into the system to find and analyze deals. Hastings said, "Giving my clients the most current and innovative tools is my number one focus. When I first saw this product it was a ‘no-brainer’ for me. I want my clients to see me as a resource and someone that is ‘cutting-edge.’" Hastings’ site, www.bayareaforeclosurebus.com, now has dozens of people actively finding the best deals and performing analysis on the Investor tab.
