Community Service Day

Posted on Jun 21, 2010 by Cari McGee in Real Estate Career, Tri-Cities, WA

I love being a part of Windermere Real Estate. Perhaps my favorite part of being a Realtor here is Community Service Day. There’s always a lot of grumbling, at least on my part, in the days leading up to it. I think about past projects and the year we had way too much to do [...]

Personal Business Year-end Re-cap

Posted on Dec 30, 2008 by Cari McGee in Real Estate Career

The latest issue of The Real Estate Book, which is a publication that features local homes for sale, has several pages of agents trumpeting their total sales for the year.  Another agent and I joked that we had “missed the memo” stating that this was the year to advertise this way.  Seriously, it’s like the [...]

Real Estate on my iPhone

Posted on Sep 10, 2008 by Cari McGee in Real Estate Career

I just got a new iPhone, and I LOVE it!!!  A blackberry technically would have been better, because then I would have had access to the local MLS, which for some unknown reason isn’t navigable on a Mac-based system. But, who cares?  I can use it like a cell phone, listen to some iTunes while [...]

Tri-Cities Tech Tip

Posted on Feb 28, 2008 by Cari McGee in Miscellaneous, Real Estate Career

Yeah, I know, I know – I told you a couple months ago that, despite my reputation for being the techiest tech techster REALTOR in Tri-Cities, WA I’m not really THAT amazing. But yesterday we had a web site class here at the brokerage, and people were trying to figure out what their domain names [...]

I Only Heard the Water Running…

Posted on Feb 19, 2008 by Cari McGee in Real Estate Career, Real Estate Industry

This poor agent in England…he was showing a house and encountered a nightmare. The worst thing that ever happened to me while showing a house is hearing the sounds of someone in the shower.  The buyer and I skedaddled before the owner exited the bathroom! 

Oodles of Googles

Posted on Jan 19, 2008 by Cari McGee in Real Estate Career

It is standard procedure when someone I don’t know contacts me via my web site or a floor call, to google them.  I basically check to see if they have a criminal record or were mentioned in the paper for some nefarious reason.  It’s not fail-safe, by any means.  Another agent did the same thing and nothing negative [...]

First Post of the Year on the 5th day of the Year

Posted on Jan 5, 2008 by Cari McGee in Real Estate Career

I know, I know…my husband, Matt McGee (SEO Extraordinaire) is going to kill me.  His favorite mantra (besides, “Do your shoes belong here?!”) is “Write everyday…you need new, fresh content everyday!” Well, I don’t always have new, fresh, exciting things to write about.  So I went back and took a look at my 2007 posts.  [...]

I am the techiest tech techster Realtor in Tri-Cities, WA!

Posted on Dec 3, 2007 by Cari McGee in Real Estate Career

I like the Internet.  I like my laptop.  I love my Mac desktop that I have at home but can’t use for business.  Our MLS (multiple listing service) doesn’t run well on Macs, so I have to use a PC, which is what my laptop is.  But the fact that I have two different kinds [...]
