Leave Comments if You Want Visitors

Shailesh Ghimire — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 15:36:32 +0000

A common question for any blogger is attaining readership. It’s fun to get a blog up and running and pretty exciting for a few weeks thereafter, but it can be deflating a bit if no one is reading your material. One of the surest ways to generate traffic is by visiting other blogs and leaving relevant, thoughtful and valuable comments. [...]

Gas Prices Bite (Soon Rates Will Too!)

Shailesh Ghimire — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 03:48:16 +0000

Lock and load guys. If you’re in the market for a home purchase and are going back and forth with various brokers on rates and such, time is not on your side. This is no time to mess around with too many rate quotes over an extended period of time. Rates are on the up swing and I promise you [...]

Social Media is Just Getting Started

Shailesh Ghimire — Thu, 15 May 2008 18:27:12 +0000

Over the past few weeks I’ve been doing a lot of research into Social Media and the rapidly evolving landscape of social networking, data portability etc. What I’ve discovered is quite amazing and exciting. The timing of my research couldn’t have been any better, because there were two major product introductions this past week that will affect business marketing in [...]

Death by Blogging

Shailesh Ghimire — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 23:10:37 +0000

Starting to blog can sometimes seem like finally meeting the hot girl (or guy) you always wanted to date. You get so mesmerized and involved so very quickly that you pursue the relationship at an unsustainable level. Not only can the double flower bouquet every other day start to bust your wallet (if you’re a guy), the emotional cost can [...]

When Friends Reject

Shailesh Ghimire — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 20:52:34 +0000

I don’t know if others in the mortgage industry face this situation or not but lately I’ve been losing deals. I’m not talking about your normal deals either, but deals that my friends are initiating and closing. Since the beginning of the year three of my friends or within my circle of influence have bought homes or refinanced. And I [...]

What Blogging Can Do For You

Shailesh Ghimire — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 21:34:18 +0000

I first met Dru when she attended my Real Estate Blogging 101 Seminar back in August 2007. Apparently she wasn’t that excited about blogging and Calie Waterhouse had to encourage her to attend. Bright and articulate she immediately understood the value blogging could bring to her business. Her questions that afternoon were amazing and added greatly to my presentation. She [...]

Lender Power

Shailesh Ghimire — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 18:31:19 +0000

I know mortgage folks these days are the target of jokes, rebuttals, recrimination. In fact, Congress practically wants to criminalize how we do loans. Despite this environment I have never felt more powerful. I’m actually starting to like the position we are in right now. I’m no Castro or Stalin and not even a Bush, since I’m not necessarily one [...]

Zillow’s Mortgage Referral Program

Shailesh Ghimire — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 17:59:55 +0000

The Zillow mortgage is about to launch and the first phase is already underway. Several industry bloggers have covered the main features of the coming Zillow mortgage offering and I’m not going to rehash it here. The first phase apparently involves loan officers registering on Zillow to receive free Internet consumer referrals. This includes a $25 fee for background check [...]

Blogging Makes a Better You

Shailesh Ghimire — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 22:30:23 +0000

I can’t say whether or not it’ll make you better at what you do if you blog for fun. But I am starting to see that blogging for business certainly improves your work standards and overall competence. In fact over the years, I’ve found it to be quite a powerful exercise in career-improvement. I think there is a certain psychology [...]
