TOPIC: Last One To Post Wins!!

Um, Dom, did you miss something?  I wasn't touting the software...but instead, plugging my comments as a "seasoned" home inspector...figured someone would catch that! 

"Solution: Forget the Agents 

?I actually try to market to the public versus realtors,? says Casey Patten, who?s headed Root River Inspections in Minnesota for the past five years. ??I?m professional and polite, I?ll answer questions if they have them, but I?ve never gone out of my way to market myself directly to them.? Instead of tapping into real estate agents, Patten focuses on marketing to home buyers directly as well as to loan officers, mortgage lenders, contractors and anyone else involved in the home construction and buying biz. To do that, Patten makes his online outreach efforts a top priority.

?I hit my web site as much as I can,? he says. ???I hit social networking. I?ve got a Facebook page for my business. I?ve got a Google Plus page for my business. I?ve got LinkedIN and Twitter, all so I can try and stay as independent as I can.?

Have fun guys!  ;D  Ha ha ha!

On a humorous note:


You got to love this one.  Because it's the Truth

I love it Marcel!

And no Casey, I didn't read all that!

Yeah, glad you liked it, I did, it brought back many memories of how things were, (Simple). 

Nice marketing hit Casey.  And "That didn't take long"...    hilarious.
