What advice do you have to help promote Brokerage activity?

The following article is featured in my November, 2006 newsletter to my property owner/clients...OWNERS.....Put your hands on your head and back away from the propertyWhen our area “sales market” started to “go away” in mid July, many rental property owners got anxious about the re-leasing of their rental property.....sometimes to their financial detriment:$ * Owners of a high-end rental home upon hearing that the landscaping needed some weeding and mulching visited the property over a weekend - the same weekend that the property was being shown by a local Realtor to rental clients who were anxious to see the property after viewing it online.

I've been to auctions, usually on the weekends, where there are a hundred people looking.

OKAY SO THIS IS WHAT WENT WRONG.omg. i had no idea being part of a condo association is so ridiculously annoying. i thought paying assessments would reduce the burdens as a SFH owner since everything is taken care for you. well #1, they refused to let me move in on a weekend but i work 5 days a week and have no place else to go so i crossed my fingers, UHauled my stuff, and hoped i could move in on the day (sat) after i closed. i moved in but the security guard said i should be expecting a fine for an "unauthorized" move.then me, being a complete newbie, tried doing as much rehabbing as fast and as soon as possible. got a guy to tear out all the old fixtures, vanities, flooring, cabinets, etc... got a painter to come in to paint... guess what?

My husband and I have been actively searching out agents in PA, around Pittsburgh.
