Georgetown Homeowners' Association has new website
Georgetown, a community of 204 townhomes located just west of Macomb, has a new website:
http://georgetownmacomb.org
The site has a lot of great information, including a copy of the covenants and by-laws you can download. There's also a special section for new residents with all the important nuts-and-bolts stuff you have to learn whenever you move to a new neighborhood: what company to call for cable TV, where to vote, when garbage gets collected, etc.
As far as I know, there aren't many websites like this for the different homeowners' associations in our area. If you live in one of those neighborhoods and your association has a website I've overlooked, drop me a line and I'll be happy to help get the word out. Thanks.

Video tour of 60 Richmond Road, Macomb, IL
I recently learned how to shoot and edit videos tours of listings. Here's my latest effort:
Though still very much a novice, I'm hoping this is one more tool I can use to help sellers.

Full-time real estate agents
In my last post, I mentioned some pretty funny real estate videos I saw at a recent RE/MAX conference.
I may need to track down the director of those videos and buy him a drink. Because here’s another one of his savvy creations that I just discovered:
Did I mention that we have four agents in our office – and that all of us practice real estate full time? No? Hmm. Maybe next post.

RE/MAX at the movies
I spent the first couple days of this week out in Denver, attending the 2010 RE/MAX Broker Owner Conference. (My dad is the owner of our office, but because he was tied up doing deals, he allowed me to fill in for him and make the trip.)
As you might expect, a lot of the conference focused on rah-rah stuff: why RE/MAX is a powerful brand name, how its agents tend to sell quite a few more houses than agents affiliated with other franchises, etc. It was good to hear that, but I consider myself a pretty tough audience. Though no Debbie Downer, I have little stomach for saccharine-flavored messages that consist only of hype.
So I was encouraged when the RE/MAX corporate staff showed us a couple videos that had some wit, humor, and -- best of all -- a point. The first one was about how some non-RE/MAX franchises set up their agents in a pyramid structure:
Not bad, eh? Not quite up there with the legendary Alec Baldwin scene in Glengarry Glen Ross (the grand champion of movies about real estate, in the opinion of this modest Realtor talking in the third person), but definitely better than I was expecting.
The other video they showed us was about how consumers see the RE/MAX name everywhere these days:
After this second video ended, they brought the director up on stage. Turns out he's a real estate agent who's always loved filmmaking, so he just shot what he knows. I think that's why these videos work.
