I've started a Hashtag.

We'll see if anyone else will use it.

I'm going to start tweeting my listings and other information about the Hattiesburg Market.

Really Excited about Stion coming to Hattiesburg

This is really exciting for our little community.

If some of the bigger states keep upping their corporate income taxes, we may see more of this.

I especially like that they are excited about the availability of a work force here!

Real Estate in Hattiesburg is Finally picking up!!!!

Things seems to be getting off to a good start for January!
It was getting a little scary about mid October but evidently people really were waiting to see what the election did.

Right before Christmas things really picked up and they haven't really slowed back down. We've seen little bursts all year but then it would die back down.

Now showings have picked up at our Company and two or three other companies that I talked to have seen an increase in showings. Now people are finally in the market looking.

January and February have always been traditionally 'getting started looking' months but there are some really good deals out there so I'm seeing pending come across the MLS too!

Maybe we really have turned the corner!!!!!!

TUESDAYS ARE ALWAYS CRAZY

Most real estate companies in Hattiesburg have sales meetings on Tuesday morning.  It's been like that at every company I've ever worked at.  One local tradition agents enjoy is the REALTOR open house.  It works really well when real estate agents from different companies get together and have homes in the same neighborhood for sale open at the same time. There will be appetizers at one house, lunch at one and then dessert.  It really gives us a chance to tour houses, give feedback and just generally check in with each other.  And IT helps us see what is on the market even if we aren't showing in that price range.

So today Jane Kingsafer, Angela Duncan, and I made the rounds.  We went from Southwest Hattiesburg to Bridgfield.  And we saw everything from groovy vintage orange shag carpet (and it was pristine), to a stuffed cat who I swear may have once been a real cat,  to the most FABULOUS New Orleans courtyard in Bridgefield Estates.  Phil Gattuso made corn dip (Jane's recipe) and it was delicious but I think Susan Smith wins the award for best brownies ever.

You might think we are just goofing around, but this really is a great way to get agents through a listing and get some honest feedback and input. 

I'm holding a listing in Purvis open next week.  I'm not sure I'll be able to top those brownies!
