March 8th, 2010

Seacoast Board of REALTORS® Presents the State of the Seacoast

On Friday March 5, 2010 I had the opportunity to address the Seacoast Board of REALTORS® at the their semi-annual State of Seacoast News Conference and membership meeting.

I was part of a panel of speakers that presented current statistics and information to a group of about 120 attendees.  They included: Peter Francese, Demographer; Kevin Bartlett, Real Data Corporation; Peter Stanhope, Stanhope Appraisers; and John Rice, Seacoast board member and past president and a member of the board’s PR Committee. Thank you so much to the Seacoast Board of REALTORS ® and President Joanna Rousseau for the invitation!

The session was video taped by REALTOR® Lauren Kane who posted several video clips on her YouTube page.

Also the board has made the presentations available for downloading by following this link:  State of The Seacoast Press Conf March 5th

The video below  covers my remarks, I thank Lauren for videoing the event and granting permission to use the clip.

How to get a Gravatar

March 2nd, 2010

Creating your own Gravatar

Many people ask how to get a gravatar, that little picture of you that shows when you comment on Blogs.

I’ve included a link that will take you to a site to create your own gravatar.  All you need to do is enter your e-mail address and a link will be sent to you. Follow the link and create a password then upload an image you’d like to use. While some people may use images of pets or signs, it is recommended that you actually use a picture of yourself.

Creating your own personal gravatar can be fun and it can also be changed when ever you want to. I change mine during a holiday or seasonally.  You may have to reduce the size of the image if you use one that is too big.

Cool Photo Editing at Picnik

A neat place to check out for easy and free photo editing is Picnik.com so if you need help it’s an easy place to learn some cool photo techniques.

Enjoy creating your own gravatar and we hope to see you commenting on the Blog!

2010 Professional Standards Seminar

February 25th, 2010

New Hampshire Association of REALTORS® Professional Standards Seminar

The New Hampshire Association of REALTORS® Professional Standards seminar presented by Dianna Brouthers on February 10th and 11th was by all accounts a fantastic program!  If you were not in attendance this year be sure to put it on your schedule for 2011.

Roger Turcotte, Chair of NHAR’s Legal Committee had this to say about the seminar:

NHAR members often suggest that our association do more to enhance the reputation of REALTORS® in NH. Certainly an advertising campaign is helpful but nothing can take the place of REALTORS® taking matters into their own hands. The over 450 NHAR members who attended the 2010 professional standards seminar gained a significant point of difference over their competitors by acquiring up to date NAR ethics information from a national expert. If you didn’t attend this year’s program make sure to attend the 2011 program – your clients will be glad you did!

Video Highlights of the 2010 Professional Standards Seminar

Below are some video highlights of this years event… see and hear for yourself what fellow REALTORS® who attended the program thought about it.
