I just read some of the coolest insider information on how a New York Real Estate Pro finds the hottest up and coming neighborhoods at the best prices.
She asks a Gay waiter!
Yep, read more here as Barbara Corcoran describes her methods.This is in the trenches type of selling prep work that makes this lady dominate year in and year out.
More sage advice on investing:
I’ve found that once the trash cans in the neighborhood get liners and Starbucks moves in, you know your investment has topped out. .... And as an investor, it’s time for you to move, too.
Wow, I am not sure if the Seattle Company that wakes me up in the morning would agree or appreciate this. But interesting.
ok, I have to say something about Barbara Corcoran too, I read her book before I became a real estate agent in Seattle, with UrbanTango.com. Her book, Tommy Hopkins book, but my favorite of all time is the Millionaire Real Estate agent book by Gary Keller! Why, not only is it solid, it has great examples and stories. But the guy emailed, little old me a real estate agent in Seattle, because I had a question for him, Gary, you get my accolades so much, I switched from being the rookie of the year in 2004 of the 10th biggest office of 2400 offices of that other company, to joining your KW North Seattle office. Sorry for the plug, but that book was even recommended reading at that Cold Brew company if you all know what I mean!

I was always a big Mike Ferry fan.
Simple numbers guy.
Knock on x doors, will give you y results, will give you z appointements.
How many appointments to get to a listing? That kind of stuff. Simple but great sales philosophy that can serve as a foundation.
I know from reading the Keller book that it just takes that idea four levels higher.

I really like the idea about spotting up-and-coming neighborhoods -- it's all about having connections to the community and a good network, though.

Finding the Perfect Neighborhood :
The neighborhood you choose can have a big impact on your lifestyle—safety, available amenities, and convenience all play their part.
Make a list of the activities—movies, health club, church-- you engage in regularly and stores you visit frequently. See how far you would have to travel from each neighborhood you’re considering to engaging in your most common activities.
