Q: Denise, I am confused by your boards and photo book concept. Are you saying I should go get photos of the sellers’ home before the presentation and create all this material? A: Certainly not! What I recommend is to create a sample using a listing you have already sold. Then simply present it like […]
Q: Denise, the project I have been avoiding is to send an article to my database on a regular basis. I haven’t even created my first mailer because I am not tech-savvy whatsoever. The idea of creating an article in Publisher and actually getting it to the printer absolutely has me in a tailspin. How […]
Q: Denise, I have tried a bunch of coaching programs and nothing seems to have worked for me. Is it the program or is it me? A: If something you have tried hasn’t worked it is not necessarily you or the program but rather the program may be a poor fit for you. Whatever program […]

Q: Denise, I like your idea of looking at transaction categories and applicable commission for agents covering for agents on vacation, but I am just going to be gone for one week over 4th of July and two more weekends. It seems the percentages of commission for those covering for me would be so small […]
Q: Denise, due to your urging, I just updated my Linked In profile and a client has “endorsed” me. How should I respond?

That is all well and good, but I am in the middle of three transactions, am completely burned out! Every time my phone rings I cringe and literally want to throw it in the lake. I just need to not be needed […]

However, now that it is warming up she is having a tough time going outside in her yard due to rampant mosquitoes.
