“Hottest Homes” Tour Wraps Up — Next one scheduled!

October 27th, 2008 by Samuel Hilbert

Last weekend was our first ever Woodinville “Hottest Homes” Tour hosted by our real estate team. We had a few different groups of buyers out with us to see some of the best values in Woodinville. Feedback has been great and one of the homes has since been in negotiations for a sale! We definitely found some great gems hiding in the Woodinville area.

With the short time to advertise last event, we are excited to announce our next event giving even more potential buyers an opportunity of our next tour. Our next tour will be very similar to the last one. It is set to begin at 10 AM on November 8. All RSVP’s must happen by November 7. Space will be limited again and we are expecting an even greater response on this trip.

We will be spending abot 90 minutes out touring some of the best pre-foreclosures, short sales, bank owned, and generally best deals around the Woodinville area. We will also have information on some great loan programs you can use to purchase fixers as well as other creative financing options.

RSVP today by calling 425-939-0890 or emailing samuel@agentsamuel.com.

We look forward to seeing you November 8!

Branded Marketing Works

June 23rd, 2008 by Samuel Hilbert

Today’s post isn’t going to be as much about real estate but more a reflection on a recent success I had. I have always been a huge fan of marketing techniques, especially when it comes to creating the right message for the right audience. I think this is the thing that attracted me to real estate the most a while ago…I have the opportunity to market and brand not only myself but also my clients homes. Each one is unique and I have complete freedom to do with them what I want. In the past, corporate always seemed to have the control. Yes, I still have lots to learn but what better way to learn than here in real estate.

One of my favorite parts of marketing is the branding aspect. This is a reason I chose Take Us Home…I found their unique marketing with the caricatures and “team concept” incredible. It really set them and me apart giving me an advantage as I got my career started. I also love branding clients homes…each home has unique selling points and a unique potential buyer. My job is to reach and attract that audience and point out why they should be interested in this home. …more

Reflections Over My First Year in Real Estate

June 5th, 2008 by Samuel Hilbert

This week marks my one year anniversary of the biggest career change I will likely ever make. The past year has been riddled with changes that have taught me so many things. I figured with it being the end of my first year in real estate…it would be a good time to reflect back on what I have learned this year. And, why not share it with you…my fellow blog readers. It will hopefully give you an opportunity to see into my daily life and the life of a new real estate agent.

First, a brief background on me: I had been planning on getting into real estate at some point in my life. I had been exploring the possibility a few times before but never thought that I could make it financially through the starting costs involved. I was warned that the first two years would be difficult. Well, last spring my life really began to change and I knew that it was time for a major career change. I left a high paying, fairly stable sales job and finally made the jump into real estate…much earlier than I planned. The timing was perfect though. I was told by many people that I was “too young” and “not ready.” I had many skeptics including friends who respected me who didn’t think I could make it through the difficult first year involved in real estate. …more

World’s Most Expensive Home…

May 1st, 2008 by Samuel Hilbert

Rising 27 stories, with 9 elevators and a six story parking garage…the world’s most expensive home is almost completed in Mumbai, India. On those house summer days when you need to escape the cold, you can head inside to the ice room and be dusted with man-made snow flurries. It sounds like being the 5th richest man on the planet really has some perks! …more
