Planning a Relocation?

Do you travel for business frequently? Researching a relocation? Have you been looking for an app which will help you not only manage your itinerary, but keep an eye on fare changes and hotel reservation information?

I recently came across TripIt!, a fantastic website and app to help plan and organize travel. Not only does it automatically organize travel information based on confirmation emails from hotels, airlines, and car rental agencies, but it can also help you ensure you get the best deals on air travel. It also works on iPhone, Android, Blackberry, and Windows Phone 7.

A little about the service from http://www.tripit.com:

“TripIt turns chaos into order by making it easy for anyone to:

1) Organize trip details into one master online itinerary — even if arrangements are booked at multiple travel sites

2) Automatically include maps, directions, and weather in their master itinerary

3) Have the option to book restaurants, theatre tickets, activities, and more right from within the online itinerary

4) Safely access travel plans online, share them, check-in for flights, or print an itinerary

Simply forward confirmation emails from anywhere you book to plans@tripit.com and TripIt “automagically” creates one simple, smart itinerary to access on a smartphone, calendar, or anywhere online. For even greater peace of mind while traveling, TripIt Pro acts like a personal travel assistant that keeps travelers in the know regarding flight status, alternate flights, and more; tracks all frequent traveler points in one place; and monitors eligible flights for fare refunds.

If you’re traveling these days to plan a relocation, don’t miss out on TripIt. If you’re looking for an agent to work with in other cities, we can also help: Kevin and Jennifer Hanley 904-422-7626 http://www.HanleyHomeTeam.com

Funny Listing Photo Disasters!

When you’re thinking about hiring an agent to help you market and sell your home, it’s probably a good idea to ask to see listing photos of homes they’ve represented in the past. A true real estate professional will go the extra mile to make sure there are plenty of high-quality, detailed photos to help market your home online.

 

At the minimum, the photos should be well-lighted, the homes should be tastefully presented, and the photographs should appear to be taken by a professional. Less than that, and you might want to consider looking for a new agent.

 

There are, of course, major red flags you’ll want to look for in sample listing photos. Consider some of the following:

 

–  No owners sunbathing in the pool in Speedos.

–  No attic rooms cluttered with personal massagers and ashes/dust.

–  No master bedrooms with lingerie models lounging in a red velvet four-poster bed.

–  No bathroom shots in which the photographer appears in her bra in the mirror.

–  No pics featuring the owners engaged in questionable activities in the background.

–  No creepy dolls by the fire place.

–  Seriously, no creepy dolls anywhere, not even in the living room!

–  No stains of murdered bodies on the bare floors.

 

Now, it may sound like I’m joking, but I’m being 100% honest when I say these are flaws seen in actual listing photos represented by real agents. What’s more, I can prove it.

 

See every single one of the above listing photo disasters in this slide show:

Incredible, isn’t it?

 

Please, whatever you do, be sure to hire an agent who takes their listing photos seriously. After all, you home is your largest investment! I’d be glad to treat it with the respect it deserves. Let me help you market your home the right way: Kevin and Jennifer Hanley – http://www.HanleyHomeTeam.com 904-422-7626
