SOCIAL MEDIA UPDATE:

Real Estate Social Media TIP:
Remember you are working on BRAND awareness not trying to getting famous!
If you’re going to grow your business reach and brand awareness apply some new marketing strategies using social media but remember the KEY is you’re going to need TIME to do it. Time...that thing we seem to never have enough of!
#MarketingMondays - set aside this time on MONDAY, you’ll be amazed at how much you’ll be able to accomplish…and the improvements you’ll be able to make. Book your time as if you are having a meeting with the PRESIDENT of your BRAND, you will want at least a few hours to work on improving and implementing some new strategies that can help increase your social media reach.
Monday starting your week with goals and being determined to accomplish them.
Give your customers a reason to connect with you on social networks, answering the question “What’s in it for me?” and then make it very easy to do so.
Note the difference between these two calls to action:
“Like our page on Facebook” vs. “Get answers to your real estate questions on our Facebook page.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Muck You. Muck Your Friends. Muck Everybody. It’s For Charity. Register now for the Muck MS Canada Mud Run to End MS
HAMILTON, Ontario – Get ready to get dirty in support of the MS Society of Canada. The second annual Muck MS Canada – Hamilton mud run will take place Saturday, September 26th, and provides a challenging yet fun end to the summer race season. Royal LePage State Realty and Marz Homes, have once again teamed up with Player’s Paradise and handed over their Stoney Creek property just north of the Niagara Escarpment to be transformed into a massive mud pit in support of the charity. “Last year’s mud run was a huge success and everyone had such a great day. We are honoured to be the Site Sponsor of the Muck MS Canada – Hamilton event once again,” states Joe Ferrante, President of Royal LePage State Realty. The course is 5 kilometers in length and consists of 15 muddy obstacles. Designed by Tony Austin of the famous O Course and Fit Factory Fitness, the course is meant to test each participants skills as they run, climb, jump, crawl, and most importantly – get dirty. “Tony sets up a killer course, and who didn’t love playing in the mud as a kid?” asks Dan Gabriele, President of Marz Homes. He adds, “why not do it again for charity?” At the finish line participants are invited to congregate for a “Muck-‐Market” post party, where they can share stories, collect some free keepsakes, and purchase food, drinks and Muck MS Canada merchandise. Individuals and teams can enter on the MuckMS.ca website, for $65 a person, or $75 to be first out the gate, with registration fees increasing September 1st. Group discounts may be available for teams of over 10 members. Once registered, participants can then raise additional funds through sponsorships. If you want to keep clean but still want to be involved, you can also choose to sponsor a team and donate directly to the MS Society of Canada, or volunteer to help the day of the event. All proceeds of this event are donated to the MS Society of Canada.

About multiple sclerosis and the MS Society of Canada Canada has the highest rate of multiple sclerosis in the world. MS is a chronic, often disabling disease of the central nervous system comprising the brain, spinal cord and optic nerve. It is one of the most common neurological diseases affecting young adults in Canada. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40, and the unpredictable effects of MS last for the rest of their lives. The MS Society provides services to people with MS and their families and funds research to find the cause and cure for this disease. Please visit mssociety.ca or call 1-‐800-‐268-‐7582 to make a donation or for more information.

The 10 Don’ts of Mortgage Closing Okay, so here we are… we have worked together to secure financing for your mortgage. You are getting a great rate, favourable terms that meet your mortgage goals, the lender is satisfied with all the supporting documents, we are broker complete, and the only thing left to do is wait for the day the lawyers advance the funds for the mortgage.
Here is a list of things you should NEVER do in the time between your financing complete date (when everything is setup and looks good) and your closing date (the day the lender actually advances funds).
NEVER MAKE CHANGES TO YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING ME.CHANGES TO YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION BEFORE YOUR MORTGAGE CLOSES COULD
ACTUALLY CAUSE YOUR MORTGAGE TO BE DECLINED.So without delay, here are the 10 Don’ts of Mortgage Closing… inspired by real life situations.
1. Don’t quit your job.
2. Don’t do anything that would reduce your income.
3. Don’t apply for new credit.
4. Don’t get rid of existing credit.
5. Don’t co-sign for a loan or mortgage for someone else.
6. Don’t stop paying your bills.
7. Don’t spend your closing costs.
8. Don’t change your real estate purchase contract.
9. Don’t list your property for sale.
