Cottonwood Horse Property – Part 3, Homes For Sale

This is #3 in a series of feature articles about a real cowboy his horse and Cottonwood Horse Property Homes For Sale.

This is Chet, in his Sunday best, seated on “Shorty”. I can tell you being dressed like this generally happened for two occasions, a Saturday dance or Church. There was a family rule. If you went to the first one you were going to the second one. The hat is today what we might call a,”Tom Mix” hat. Chet said they wore Stetson hats. From time to time he would explain with some detail the quality and he and his brother Rex’s personal preference. You’ll notice the pants. They “could” fit over the boots, but why hide a perfectly good pair of boots. Chet wore cowboy boots until the last few years of his life, although he did start turning the pants over the boots. That’s just a sign that cowboys can change too. Cottonwood Horse Property Homes For Sale.

The cowboy in the picture is Chet. Chet was my grandfather. I am truly grateful for the influence Chet had on my life. I’ll never forget his cowboy ways. Cottonwood Horse Property Homes For Sale Shasta Horse Property

Successful Selling in A Buyer’s Market of Cottonwood Homes For Sale Part 6 of 8

This is the 6th in an 8 part series, on Successful Selling in a Buyer’s Market, Cottonwood homes for sale

MARKET AGGRESSIVELY: In a Buyer’s Market effective marketing must be comprehensive and aggressive. November 2008 survey results indicated that 87 percent of all Buyers are using the Internet in the home purchase process. Results show the Internet is the first source of information for 34 percent of those seeking their next home purchase. Therefore every marketing plan must be centered around the effective use of the Internet. Using a syndication of websites, in advertising listings, is a component of a comprehensive marketing plan. Regularly monitoring the Internet traffic viewing the advertised listings measures the results of the campaign. While traditional marketing venues have their place utilizing them must be in proportion to their effectiveness.

Cottonwood Horse Property – Part 2, Homes For Sale

This is #2 in a series of feature articles about a real cowboy his horse and Cottonwood Horse Property Homes For Sale.

The horse in the picture is Shorty. As you can see being about 15 hands he wasn’t short. All my life my Grandfather told me stories. He seemed to have an inexhaustible supply. When he was about 87 years old he told me a story I had never heard him tell before. We were visiting and the subject of his horse Shorty came up. Grandpa said that Shorty was the kind of horse that would just stand his ground until a better horse showed up. I didn’t know quite what to say so I was silent. If you know anything about a good storyteller you know, #1 they are patient, #2 they understand the value of timing and #3 they can work with an audience that is SLOWWW. Looking back Grandpa seemed quite relaxed at the time. It was as though he was used to this sort of thing. He paused and waited until it was quite clear that I wasn’t going to get IT. Then he quite deliberately repeated the setup line,”Shorty was the kind of horse that would stand his ground until a better horse showed up.” By now I knew he was patiently working with a slow audience (me) and I gathered my response,” Did a better horse ever show up?” Grandpa paused just the proper amount of time to insure a reasonable amount of attention ,on my part, and he replied,”Never did.” You see a Real Cowboy would never outright BRAG on his horse, but he will tell you a story.

As storytelling goes this would be what they call a,”Story in A Story”.

PRICING IT RIGHT: That means pricing relevant to this market, in real time, with an eye to developing trends that may effect sales during the marketing period. There is always a price range for a given home in a given location at a given time. Therefore pricing strategically within that range subject to inventory, etc. is helpful. That also means pricing to capture the attention of the target market for your property. Just like when you first drive through a neighborhood you notice far more than after you’ve been there awhile. So it is with pricing. The over priced home goes unnoticed. It’s best to capture the attention of your buyer when they first become aware of your home on the market. Now that we’ve priced your home right let’s prepare to market. Cottonwood homes for sale

Why Is It More Blessed To Give Than To Receive?

Have you ever asked yourself,” Why is it more blessed to give than to receive”? Perhaps you’re asking yourself,”what does this have to do with real estate“? Hopefully by the time we finish this post you’ll see how this principal plays a part in most everything we do.

Most of us know the Words;”It is more blessed to give than to receive,”. I don’t know about you, but I just took those words at face value. I accepted them without much understanding. I thought perhaps it was the feeling or sense of satisfaction that comes from giving that provided the blessing. Not that there isn’t some truth to that. But more recently as I’ve considered this principal some additional thoughts have come to mind. Cottonwood homes for sale

I would like to use a farming analogy; We’re all familiar with the Words,” You reap what you sow,”. What if giving is like seed and receiving is like harvest. If that is true then to receive a gift would actually be the end of a sowing and reaping cycle. The gift received can be enjoyed, to be sure. It can even be stored. But that is the end of the cycle unless a portion of that gift is planted again. Now consider the giver. Being like the farmer he plants a seed, by the giving of his gift. Now he has positioned himself to receive another harvest. He has started something that can’t be stopped. It’s a natural law. It’s bound to return to him. What about the ground? Every wise farmer wants to plant his,”seed” in good ground. It would appear that the best ground is that ground ( that place or person) that can’t give back in return. If that is true then it becomes easy to identify good ground. If someone is in need and they aren’t in a position to return the gift then they qualify as,”good ground”. Cottonwood homes for sale

As I view people and businesses that are doing well, especially in these times, they seem to have something in common. They have developed giving, as a core value. What I mean is they don’t isolate their giving. It effects everything they do. It’s more than just treating family well. Everyone does that (well Ok, there are a few exceptions). I’m talking about are those people that are sowing into their neighbors, co-workers and strangers. I’m talking about companies that are sowing into their employees, clients, community and even their competition, in their time of need.

My point is perhaps, “It is more blessed to give than to receive”, because,” we reap what we sow” and we’re all farmers in a way. Cottonwood homes for sale

Cottonwood Horse Property, Homes For Sale

This is 1 in a series of feature articles about a real cowboy his horse and Cottonwood Horse Property Homes For Sale.

People might want to know what a real cowboy looks like. I would like to share a bit about the cowboy in the photograph. The cowboy’s name is Chet and that is his horse Shorty. Chet was born and raised in the cowboy way of life. While later in life he did many things, that early part of his life had a defining influence on him. Perhaps it was breaking horses and working on cattle drives on what was part of the Old Chisholm Trail. Or maybe it was just the responsibility of working on the family cattle ranch. But no matter what Chet did he had a bit of that cowboy way about him. If things in life got a bit wild Chet would just ride it out and end up all the better for it. What he started he would see through. I am truly grateful for the influence Chet had on my life. Chet was my grandfather. I’ll never forget his cowboy ways.
