Q: Okay, Denise. I am taking the plunge. I am ready for video. But I am concerned that my double chin is going to take the stage. Help! A: I appreciate your honesty! I think just about everyone I talk to has a flaw of some sort they feel will be magnified on the screen, […]
Q: “Denise, I have been getting some responses from my farm area and have even had a few closed sales. I am thinking of expanding to a larger area. What do you think?” I think that is a great idea! Of course, check to make sure the expanded area has a good turnover rate (about […]
Q: Denise, I just got a referral from a past client and I feel like smacking myself on the head because I just realized I don’t have a system for thanking my past clients who refer me business. I thank agents who give me referrals. I thank buyers and sellers when they close with a […]

I would actually have them focus on their home buying story rather than lead with a testimonial format. […]
Q: Denise, I have received a few potential listing calls lately from my friends and distant family members wanting me to discount my commission. I don’t want to be rude, but it isn’t going to be like I am doing any less work for them and quite honestly, sometimes it is a lot more! What […]
