Popup Loan Comparison Calculator

Ruston, LA, September 25, 2010 — CustomCalcs.com creates unique calculators for web sites which are based on spreadsheet models provided by the web site’s owner. Unique tools and content make web sites “sticky”, holding visitors’ attention and bringing them back again.

The report today from the Business Cycle Dating Committee of the National [...]]]> The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) is a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization dedicated to promoting a greater understanding of how the economy works. The NBER is also the organization that tells us when we are in and out of recession.

The report today from the Business Cycle Dating Committee of the National Bureau of Economic Research is that the recession which began in December of 2007 is over. Lasting 18 months, this was the longest recession since World War II.

Calling a recession’s end must surely be a delicate thing. If you look around, apart from this official NBER announcement, it’s hard to tell much has changed. Perhaps it’s like crossing a line you didn’t see.

Or maybe it’s like the aftermath of a storm. Once the storm has passed, it takes people a while to look around, identify the damage and decide where to begin.

The Recession is officially over. It may still be too early to celebrate, but I extend my best wishes to you.

If you doubt this, use Google.com and check it out. Search for [...]]]> Face it, except for agent photos, most real estate websites look much alike. They tend to have the same features: company logo, contact information for the agent or broker, MLS search capabilities, a few testimonials, photos, maybe a map to the office.

If you doubt this, use Google.com and check it out. Search for “real estate” and the name of the town you live in. The results will include web sites of real estate agents and firms in your community. Work through the list and see how real estate web sites have become generic.

The sites all look the same. Unless a web site has significantly unique content the others do not have, visiting one real estate site in your town is much like visiting any other.

There are two ways to get away from the “me, too” aspect most independent real estate web sites can’t seem to avoid. There are two things that make a real estate web site stand out from the crowd.

First, unique content is a powerful point of connection for visitors. Second, useful tools for the financially curious give visitors a reason to stick around and return later.

Unique content is something that no one can do better than an independent agent who knows and loves the community where he or she lives and works. You know the local scene, the schools, the churches, the coffee shops, the events that build community. Use your intimate knowledge of your community to write unique content for your site’s blog. Use a paragraph each week on your home page to focus on a unique aspect of living in your town.

Adding financial calculators to your real estate web site is a simple way of giving visitors a reason to stay where they are and not look for another site. Financial calculators for real estate web sites are generally of two types: those that are added directly to a web page like calculators from MoneyToys.com and those that popup in their own little window like those from Popup-calculators.com.

If you are an independent agent with a web site that looks as bland as all the others in your community, do something about it! After all, it’s your site!

Write with passion about your community and add financial calculators to your site so visitors have a unique experience when they visit your web site. If you make your site unique you increase the chances you will be remembered more easily.

I would change his #4 tip. If you’re buying a house, forget the concept of anchoring. Offer what you think the house is worth.

You’ll get a counter offer or a flat “no”. Either way, as a buyer, you’ve stated your opening position based on what you are willing to pay.

If you want to hear about wars, financial ruin, corruption, death and disease turn on the news! But be careful. It will pull you down, down, down.

And it really does pull you down. Listening to negative content, even if it isn’t personal, influences the way you perceive your own personal part of the world. Read about negative stuff enough and you will come to expect it in your life.

I’ve just read a real estate blog post by Tony Kawaguchi, aka “Aloha Tony“, titled, “I Can Predict the Future of Real Estate. Here’s How.”

It’s practical and positive. Tony picks a positive perspective (and can based on his efforts) and is able to make predictions about his personal real estate world. Check it out at: “I Can Predict the Future of Real Estate. Here’s How.“
