Thanks!

Oh gosh.. you don't have to be licensed.. as far as I know this is for anyone involved in real estate.. you don't even have to be a realtor.. I am an investor and also run Hearth Homes, where we house and do case management for homeless/low income women with children.. I would expect developers, mortgage brokers, investors, etc. to be in the group.

I just wanted to comment so that you knew there were people out there who listened in, even if they have not contributed.  I am still studying for my Real Estate Liscense.  I take the test in a couple weeks in Seattle since it appears I can't take it but once a month here in Spokane. 

I have not commented since I am not yet licensed, but appreciate hearing what folks have to say.  I hope that we will consider the holidays and that folks are just getting back into things now.  My vote is to keep it going a little while longer to see if participation increases!

I would really like to see this more active too, Norm.  Not sure exactly what the problem is, except that with the economy everyone is really busy.. I am in favor of breakfast or morning meetings, rather than lunch or afternoon.. I am also part of the local real estate investment club and we have realtors, mortgage, investors, etc. Unfortunately, it seems in the realtor arena as with most industries in Spokane, its a competitive rather than cooperative nature, and they want to stay in their own offices.  We really do need to collaborate more to achieve goals. I love the new partnership LaunchPad has.  It really is forward thinking to show us how things should be done.  Any other ones thoughts??

I'm wondering what members of this community are desiring out of their membership. Since July there have only been 2 comments, and one of them was me attempting to promote my ADR seminar, and about a half dozen new discussions. Only a couple of replies total in all those discussions.

So I'm wondering what we could do to make this community of more value. Any suggestions?

If this community was deleted by LaunchPad would anybody even notice? If nobody even bothers to reply then should we just consider this a dead community.

In real estate practice Realtors who become involved in a dispute with another Realtor about a commission will have that resolved by arbitration conducted by the local Association of Realtors. It does not appear that arbitration, mediation and other services are readily available in this area for other real estate related disputes.

I wanted to personally invite each of you to attend this informative seminar. It is matter of when, not if, you will be involved in some form of dispute. How you handle that, both by preventative measures and how you respond to the dispute itself, will determine how much it will cost you to resolve. Join me for a light lunch or breakfast on 10/25 @ 8am or 10/26 @ noon. I'm not going to be selling Pre-paid legal programs or anything else at these seminars. Thank you in advance for your attendance or referrals.

Realtors,

We are developing our Real Estate Section at Spokane City Guide and would like to invite realtors that respond by August 1st to be able to post, for an entire year, an unlimited amount of homes, business, land etc. for sale or lease.

This will help Spokane City Guide to develop this particular section and will, hopefully, help you increase awraeness of your properties. This is currently a $500 value so we feel strongly that this will be a great benefit for many realtors.

Please contact me here at Launchpad or email me at info@BizSpokane.com To get an idea how your listings will look, you can view the properties currently listed at: http://bizspokane.com/pages/Spokane_real_estate

Thank You,

Barry Seward
