Inspection Lunch and Learn Recap
Thank you to Bob Carter from Total Home Inspection for visiting our group today and talking about the ins-and-outs of the inspection process. It was a very informative session with lots of great tidbits.
Some of today's take-aways:
No matter how hard you try...
- Water wins.
- Mechanical things break.
- Somehow a problem always seems worse after the report
Our next Lunch and Learn session will be Wednesday, February 19. Our guest speaker will be Linda Hartman, a business administrator instructor who specializes in entrepreneurial businesses. She'll give us tips on how to best manage our businesses and plan out our year.
Plan to join us for the informative first half and then stay to plan future YPN events for the second half of the hour.

2014 Technology Resolutions
January 2014| BY SCOTT NEWMAN 
Technology is changing our lives - and our industry - on a daily basis. And as they say, you're either with the times or behind them. With that in mind, I wanted to roll out three New Year's resolutions I'm asking my agents to adopt when it comes to technology in 2014 and I'd love to see you implement them into your success plan for 2014 and beyond.
1. Let's See That Beautiful Face! Every slogan and catchy phrase that can help you sell more homes in 2014 has already been plastered on a billboard somewhere at some point in the past. No matter what you say, and how well you say it, there are simply limitations to the things you can convey through pen and paper. Instead, turn to video. For $200 we purchased (and you can too from any number of online retailers) an "iPhone film pack" for use with pretty much any smart phone. The kit comes with a clip on and boom-style mic, tripod-adapter mount, and a magnetic camera lens that fits over the phone's camera to give a wider-angle view.
With this kit, we can now shoot video both in the office and out in the field with a maximum 3-minute set-up time. Think of the possibilities: neighborhood reviews, client testimonials, and interviews with local business owners, etc.
The sky is the limit with video, and the added benefits (increased SEO, higher click-through rates, etc.) make this a great way to distinguish yourself from the crowd.
