Hopeless romantics love it. Cynics despise it. No one can avoid it -- Valentine’s Day is here! Whatever your feelings are about the holiday, take the opportunity to show appreciation for the one who loves you unconditionally: Mother Nature.

Follow these green Valentine’s Day tips and you’ll benefit more than just your special someone: you’ll be supporting healthy com-munities and a healthy planet. Now that’s heartwarming.

Give Eco-Friendly Chocolate. Not only does the Rainforest Alliance certify chocolate that’s better for the environment, “shopping the frog” ensures that cocoa farmers have good living and working conditions. The Arbor Day Foundation also sells a line of shade grown organic chocolates in their online shop.

Send an eCard. Love wildlife? Check out free Valentine e-cards from Ocean Conservancy, World Wildlife Fund, and Conservation International.

Buy Local Flowers. If flowers are your style, swing by your local farmers’ market for a fresh bouquet of your favorites. It beats buying imported flowers that have often been doused in pesticides.

Find a Date. Single and looking? We have it on good authority that a number of people have found their true love on Sierra Club Outings and public transportation.

Ditch Dirty Gold. Did you know that the manufacture of an average gold ring creates more than 20 tons of mining waste? Yikes! Be sure to buy your jewelry from one of the 90 retailers who have committed to ending destructive gold mining through Earth-works..

Love Your Honey (Bees). Bees are in trouble. In the U.S., they’ve been dying off at alarming rates which spells trouble not just for honey, but for our whole food supply. Let Nature Inspire Your Valentines. Remember how much fun Valentine’s Day was as a kid? For some special V-day kid’s craft projects, check out these nature-inspired ideas from National Wildlife Federation.

Love Your Local Bank. Every Valentine's Day, Green America encourages people to break up with their mega-bank and shift their money to the community by opening accounts with small banks and credit unions. Rethink Generosity. The Acumen Fund is rebranding Valentine’s Day as “Generosity Day”. On February 14, people are encouraged to practice simple acts of kindness.

The September housing market inventory was up roughly 20% in comparison to numbers from last year at the time. With that being said, we

are now into the time of year when inventory numbers begin to creep downwards until they begin to level out in the spring. So how can real estate agents effectively attract more sellers so that they can keep their inventory numbers higher through the light periods of the

year?

The answer to that question is very likely sitting on your desk or in your pocket: Smartphones.

Quick Tips: Use Mobile Technology to Market to Sellers

1. Have a Strong Mobile Presence

A strong mobile presence allows sellers to see your expertise in marketing their home, especially to Generation Y, and can give them confi-

dence in the home being sold in an effective way. Your site should be easy to use, finger friendly, load quickly on a mobile device, and it

should have all of the content of your regular site. Your website should also scale so that someone using a smartphone or tablet can easily

and seamlessly switch between devices. There is nothing more powerful than placing a well designed mobile site in the hands of a potential

seller during a listing presentation. Once they can see for themselves how well designed and easy to use your mobile presence is, they will

be hooked.

2. Focus on What Sellers are Looking For

Think about the things that sellers want in a real estate professional. They want someone who is going to promote their property, sell it at the

best possible price, and sell it as quickly as possible. Think about how you can highlight those factors on your mobile presence. Some of the

biggest complaints that sellers make are about transparency– more often than not their real estate professional failed to communicate with

them. The listing presentation is a great time to go over all the ways you can reach out to, and keep your seller in the loop. with actionable

information that they can use and access on their mobile devices. This type of mobile focused, seller-first thinking will let them know that you

take both their time and concerns seriously. Above all, communicate with your sellers on the devices they want to use. If that means sending

a paper letter, so be it, but make sure you’re equipped to text or instant message (IM) with the best of them.

3. Attracting FSBO Sellers

In your neighborhood(s) there are likely several FSBO homes. We know from the research that FSBO properties tend to sell for significantly

less money, and a full ? of these properties are not supported by any kind of marketing. There are numerous guides online to help people

move their property without the aid of areal estate professional.Some of the most effective ways to move a property, like creating a winning

mobile presence for a listing, is sometimes too technologically savvy for owners. The real work with attracting FSBO sellers is to show them

that working with a real estate professional has value and can turn directly into income for them. The key to converting a FSBO property into

a listing is talking directly with these sellers in person and possibly putting your mobile phone in their hands and show them one of your mo-

bile listings. Let them play with it. Then tell them how many people have looked at that listing in the last week. Use your mobile presence as

one of your tools to show the value that you bring to the table as a real estate professional..

4. Post Helpful Blogs about Selling Homes

Creating incredible content on your site will not only be useful to anyone selling a home, but it will help to establish yourself as a local market

expert. Perhaps you can create a blog series around the process your company went through to get a home ready for the market and its

eventual sale. In your blog you could list an array of easy DIY projects that can help spruce up a home or help add to its value.

Additionally, your blog should also showcase your local community. The goal here is for people to see your company as an expert not in just

selling homes, but also in their local market. Of course, all of this content should be maximized so that it works well and is easily accessible

5 Tech Trends That Will Transform the Way You Work From bendable smartphones to driverless cars, these upcoming technological advances will change your daily routine on the job. NAR Realtor Magazine Article | By Melissa Dittmann Tracey 

This could be your future: You’re driving hands-free, taking your clients around for a day of showings. While you’re behind the wheel (remember, you’re not actually steering the car), you pull from your pocket a bendable smartphone or tablet and bring up a home’s specs. (Apps display the home’s energy use and maintenance status.) As you’re approaching a home, the lights in the house automatically turn on. Sound far-fetched? Well, brace yourself: Some of these capabilities are already here—or are coming soon. Here’s at peek at the latest tech from the 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show that should be on your radar. Wearables Wearable tech is a big buzzword right now, with the smartwatch business alone is expected to grow from 400,000 shipments this year to 35 million by 2017, according to market research firm Berg Insight. Watchmaker Pebble touts a $249 Pebble Steel smartwatch with leather or metal straps. It can connect to apps from iOS or Android devices for accessing e-mails, calendar alerts, news updates, social media accounts, and maps. The technology may serve as a discreet way to keep an eye on your business. Real estate tech expert and author Chris Smith says that in order for smart-watches to catch on, they will need to have voice-control capability and connect to all your smartphone apps so that you don’t ever have to take out your phone. Smarter Homes A smartphone may become the key—literally—to showing a home. Several products are being developed with the goal of creating “connected homes,” which will allow for greater control and monitoring of home appliances and systems from a smartphone. The tech is getting more affordable and simpler to use, mostly through smartphone apps, and could make the connected homes more mainstream within the next decade, says Matt Rogers, cofounder of Nest, a home technology manufacturer recently purchased by Google. The offerings for greater home connectivity are growing:

Energy-efficient “smart lightbulbs”: You can control these lightbulbs with your phone and program them with mood-light settings for relaxation and energy.

The ability to text appliances: Programs such as LG’s -HomeChat allow you to text your washer, for example, and ask it, “What are you doing?” You’ll receive a text response telling you where the washer is in the washing cycle.

Single integrated systems: These will allow you to connect appliances, thermostats, security systems, and more from one device. Lowe’s Iris Manage-ment System and Samsung’s Smart Home App are examples of these systems, and they also send alerts to your phone when an appliance is mal-functioning.

Drones Real estate pros aren’t the only ones hankering to use drones professionally. Filmmakers, land surveyors, and farmers, among others, are waiting for the green light. But everyone may have to wait until next year when the Federal Aviation Administration releases rules addressing safety and privacy issues for commercial drone use, although a court has raised the question of whether it has the authority to enforce a ban until its rules are out. In the meantime, sev-eral companies at CES were debuting cost-effective advancements in drone technology. For example, drone manufacturing company Parrot offered a sneak peek at its upcoming MiniDrone, which can be controlled by a smartphone or tablet to shoot photos and video while flying up to 160 feet high. It also has wheels to climb walls or move across ceilings. It is slated to debut later this year, and while the price has not yet been announced, it is expected to be cheaper than the company’s upgraded $300 A.R. Drone. Also, global drone manufacturer DJI’s Phantom 2 Vision, retailing for about $1,200, can snap 14-megapixel images and record high-definition video. While NAR recommends that REALTORS® avoid using drones until the FAA issues rules on commercial drone use, as directed by Congress, next year, some practitioners are taking their chances. Brandon Doyle, a sales associate with Edina Realty in Maple Grove, Minn., has experimented with using DJI’s F550 drone since October 2012. He said drones will be particularly helpful for showing off high-acreage property. “It’s very difficult to show what 40 acres looks like in a photo, but with a drone, you can get a feel for the topography and where the boundaries are on a property,” he says. Driverless Cars Could texting while driving one day be safe? Automakers are racing to release the first publicly available self-driving car. Manufacturers such as Audi, General Motors, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, and BMW, among others, are testing the technology. According to officials with Bosch, a global automotive supplier, the company is about seven to 10 years away from having a fully automatic powered car on the roads. The implications for real estate? Instead of chauffeuring clients to showings, the car will do it for you. That means you can focus on your client instead of the road. The cars use 360--degree sensors without human intervention for accelerating, braking, maneuvering turns, and parking. Driverless cars have been approved by lawmakers for experimentation in several states, such as California, Nevada, and Florida. Flexible Phones LG Electronics has created a smartphone that bends. The LG G Flex is the first smartphone with a flexible screen, and has just become available to AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile customers, starting at $600. (Wireless carriers offer a steep discount with a contract.) The G Flex features a 6-inch display and a slightly curved screen at the top and bottom. LG officials say the curved screen offers better sound, voice, and picture clarity. You can also bend it slightly without cracking the screen. Smartphone manufacturers as a whole are focusing on curvier devices. Samsung has launched its flexible Galaxy Round phone in South Korea, while Apple was granted a patent in 2013 for a curved display back, which has some tech forecasters predicting curvier, more bend-able shapes for future Apple devices. Smith says bendable glass helps protect devices from shattering. “We [practitioners] take out our devices from our pockets about 80 times a day and are always dropping our phones,” he says. “[Bendable glass] offers a way to keep the devices looking the way they were built as well as some protection.”
