Market Conditions: Thousand Oaks, California

Realtor Beverly Taki of Thousand Oaks, California, 39 miles west of Los Angeles, is reporting a strong buyers market -- with sellers now being forced to sell in a slump. She notes that prices are falling in most Southern California neighborhoods. The number of sales tumbled to a 15-year low in mid 2007 -- causing an unusually large amount of very skittish buyers. And sales of existing homes have fallen nationally to their lowest point in five years. She recommends, "If you need to sell your home in a slow/tight market, price it to sell, and obtain an appraisal, so you might know the value of your property from a professional appraiser"s viewpoint."

Internet Farming And Prospecting
A familiar term to all involved in the practice of real estate is “farming!” Farming is the most effective prospecting tool for cultivating and identifying new potential leads that will generate sales and income for our business. The term "farming," is an analogy for the prospecting seeds we plant in a successful marketing campaign to a targeted audience.  If the farm is nurtured over a period of time with direct marketing materials, such as mailers, cold calls, postcards and brochures the desired effect is that the leads generated can be cultivated so that  your business will bear a great fruit or harvest!
