I know tomorrow should be some what busy. I got two offers accepted today that I've been working on for a day or so now. So I'll be doing paper work until I show more homes at 3:00.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I've been showing in Midtown and I love it there. I wish I could move to Midtown but my wife wants to be close to her work, so I guess we'll stay in West Mobile for now.&lt;br /&gt;

Lunch and learn'/><title>Blog, Blog, Blog......</title><content type='html'>So I really want to start blogging, but I'm not sure quite what I want to write about. I guess I'll just tell about my day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Today started off pretty good, I met an awesome client and showed a couple of properties that he really liked a lot. Hopefully he'll decide to make an offer on one of the 25 homes I have showed him in the last few days. After I left my showings I headed to the office where I gave a lunch and learn class to some agents who wanted to learn how to start a blog, and how to post links on Facebook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I look forward to the rest of the week. I can see the all hard work is starting to pay off. I have about 5 qualified buyers I'm working with right now. Wish me luck!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8165924022500285225-4919105965912617508?l=hardworkpaysoff-sambe18.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hardworkpaysoff-sambe18.blogspot.com/feeds/4919105965912617508/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hardworkpaysoff-sambe18.blogspot.com/2011/02/blog-blog-blog.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8165924022500285225/posts/default/4919105965912617508?v=2'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8165924022500285225/posts/default/4919105965912617508?v=2'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hardworkpaysoff-sambe18.blogspot.com/2011/02/blog-blog-blog.html' title='Blog, Blog, Blog......'/><author><name>Sam Calderone</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10404194064627489860</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05824506141145286714'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag='W/&quot;CEQFSHw7cCp7ImA9Wx9VFkw.&quot;'><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165924022500285225.post-8486676171245138999</id><published>2011-02-01T18:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-01T18:05:19.208-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app='http://www.w3.org/2007/app'>2011-02-01T18:05:19.208-08:00</app:edited><title>What to do next?</title><content type='html'>So I seem to always be looking for the next&amp;nbsp; Real Estate buyer or seller. I find myself getting lazy at times and doing the old, non original techniques that haven't really panned out before. Then, sometimes, I get a brilliant Idea about some new marketing or advertisement deal that just may push me to the top. This week's idea has been Zillow.com. I checked out zillow because it was the number one real estate tool app on the Iphone app store. I started checking out what it had to offer and I was pleasantly surprised. I started a free account with them which was pretty easy, and right away I was getting info on other homes for sale by owner in the area and other agents out of the area who could possibly send me referrals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'll comment back later on how zillow is going. The way I look it it, its just another useful tool to get my name and listings out there.&lt;br /&gt;
