The Holidays have come and gone and you’ve zeroed in on a goal, a resolution. You’ve resolved to eat healthier, save more, spend less, exercise more or whatever. To accomplish goals and gain some momentum make small changes. For example, if you are going to save more, begin saving a little, consistently. Sudden changes that are too big are often unsustainable. Automate the financial ones, human beings are consistently inconsistent so automate the financial ones, cut costs. Health related goals, unlike financial ones, require a bit more stategy, I’ve found. Begin with 5 minutes of exercise a day and add a little gradually until you are doing 30-45 minutes of cardio per day. If the last time you did a push up was more than a year ago begin slow. An idea that’s a bit scary is finding someone to hold you accountable. An Accountability Partner is key to staying on track, I suggest you do some reaserch and find a AP… If you do these simple things, begin small, automate, and find an accountability partner you’ll increase the probability of achieving your 2010 goals.

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010Ann Arbor: A "Value-Driven" Market without Question
Friday, June 22nd, 2007
As a Realtor, I am often asked what kind of market we are in and my response is always the same.
I say that, contrary to what you are being fed by the media, it is not a buyer’s market or a seller’s market. It is a “value-driven” market, period, end of story.
What I mean by this is that no matter the market cycle, most buyers look for the best value and sellers attempt to position their homes to attract ready, willing and able buyers–no buyer, no sale, right?
During my past 14 years, and I suspect as long as trade has existed, ready, willing, and able buyers have had to pay more than they’d like to and sellers have sold their goods for less than what they though they should.
Buyers and Sellers don’t make decisions in a vacuum, however. Reasonable people make resonable decisions. Whether those decisions were great or not, is not decided until after the fact. After all, hindsight is always 20/20.
My advice is that when buying homes purchasers should consider their primary residence as an investment in lifestyle, not a pure investment.
In the end, it is a bonus if the market swings to the sellers’ favor prior to a sale, but it is certainly not what a financial future should rest upon.

Team366: High Tech
A few tools that Team366 is using to get homes sold are readily available, yet difficult to integrate and require huge capital investments. While others are generic plug and play tools that can be personalized with minimal technical knowledge.
One cool tool is 
which is one of the most innovative ways we’ve found to expose our clients’ property to as many people online as possible.
Additionally, we use 
for our virtual tours. Obeo is the Cadillac of virtual tours and a great way for buyers to experience a home and for sellers’ properties to be exposed.
Still another is 
for video walkthroughs.
has been a tremendous way for us to reach thousands in the area instantaneously. Then there is blogging and eblasting, drip campaigns, traditional networking, etc. But that’s not all, there’s more!
Interconnectivity and extraordinarily easy-to-use platforms exist and Team366 is totally committed to using all available tools to find homes for buyers and sell homes for sellers efficiently and effectively…Fast but without the fury.
