It is Still a Face-to-Face Business
According to NAR, only 9% of buyers find their REALTOR® online; the same percentage as 10 years ago. Networking, referrals and person-to-person contact is still the most effective manner to secure buyer clients.

Monday Rewind
On Thursday, September 20th, at the REALTOR® Trade Show & Expo, attendees were treated to an a cappella rendition of the National Anthem. In addition the program kicked off with the Hoover JROTC with the presentation of the colors. The choir held special meaning to our REALTOR® family, as one of the singers, was the daughter of Past-President, James Harwell, and granddaughter of Past-President, Elizabeth Harwell.

Keep Your Credit On Ice-Great News to Share with Your Clients
Starting last Friday, September 21st the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief & Consumer Protection Act went into effect. Consumers may now freeze access to their credit report for
FREE. Even better they can lift the freeze for free so that mortgage providers can assess their credit.

September is REALTOR Safety Month
Sad but true...
In 2014 when Beverly Carter was murdered, 22 other agents were also murdered.
Crime against agents is
predatory crime
. When an agent has been attacked they have quite literally, been hunted.

TECH TIP OF THE WEEK!
Take a photo of the happy new homeowner and post a congratulations on Instagram. Start a running program (if you are the selling agent- you can still ask for a photo) and soon you will have people following you to see which happy family or single bought which house. Voyeurism is what makes shows like HGTV's House Hunters so popular. Capitalize on it!
