My website

Right now, there are 4 different ways that you can view my blog. First, featherslam.blogspot.com is and always has been the primary source of my blog. I've run this blog in the past, so that I can share some of my experiences with people wanting to be involved in real estate. For example, I've chronicled my first real estate experiences, and I am hoping that you may learn from them. In addition, I've tried to share other experiences for anyone remotely interested in what I am doing. This could be a potential investor, a person selling, or even a person buying. I'm hoping that all of my experiences will help, and that my blog is interesting for people to read.

The second way is through facebook. I have had the notes from my blog imported into facebook for awhile now. I've done this because it is the easiest way for me to share and announce when a new post has been created. It generally shows up on your news feed, so I am going to try to show up there a little more. I want to show you why you should use me as your real estate professional, and why you need a real estate professional whether or not you are buying or selling. To be honest, I don't want to stop there. I want you to recommend me as your preferred real estate professional, and I know the only way to do that is to deliver top-notch service.

Finally, the newest way to see my blog is by visiting www.chadfeatherstone.ca or www.chadfeatherstone.com. Right now, the website only points to the original blog. I'm hoping to get a couple of new things to add to the website to expand your real estate library. I feel that my job is really to educate a buyer or seller in the process, so that they become a part of the process. I feel, by doing this, I am helping my clients understand what is going on and they can feel comfortable with any decisions that they make. I'm hoping that my website will be able to give you a reason to call me.

I know that this post is a little dry, but I'm working on a post in the next couple of days that I think will be interesting. I've past my one year anniversary of my downtown property, and I'm going to post a tribute to that. I want to keep the suspense a little, so I'm not going to go too much in detail, but I thought that I would give a teaser.

New links

I have removed some old links and added some new ones. In an effort to make my website more about real estate and not personal, I had to make a couple of changes. I'll be updating the links periodically for when I find an interesting site that I think will help people out. Please feel free to post links in the comments section.

Feathersold!

Congrats to Dave and Ash on their purchase of their first home. Thanks for the business! I'll post photos later!

First pay cheque

I got my first pay cheque today from real estate. It was from my first deal that I had done in August. It takes a little while for agents to get paid, so it sure felt nice when I saw my bank balance this morning.

My first deal was only a referal deal in Thunder Bay. Therefore, the cheque was not actually all that big.

I'll try to post some pictures of the house sometime soon.

As promised....

Business cards

My business cards are ready. I just have to pick them up before 4:30. I'm going to try to convert my pdf file over to something bloggable, so I can post the proofs later tonight when I get home. In the meantime, I think you should think of people that could use my business card. I offer incentives!!!

Back online...

I've had my blog down for awhile because I wanted to get my website up and running. The website hasn't been fully planned out, so it may take awhile to be where I want it to be. I still wanted to keep everyone posted on my real estate dealings, so I decided to start up the blog again. You'll notice a nice big logo on top of the blog because I am now a sales representative of Keller Williams. KW has been training me for the last month and a bit, and I've really been impressed by their operations. It's no wonder they are #1 in Ottawa in such a short period of time.

Like before, I'm keeping my posts short. I want you to come back and read what I have to write on an ongoing basis. I figure it is the best way to help others learn some of the more important real estate procedures.
