Your CORE Advisor Blog

Hello, if you don’t know my name is Chris Ormsbee. 

I am a Realtor working for Century 21 Action Realty in Montrose Colorado. 

We/I am located at 1245 E Main St and our office phone number is (970) 249-7777 (lucky sevens)… I have a partner too.  Her name is Diane Haynes so feel free to call her too… (970) 596-3521.  Our Team name is “The Montrose Gold Team”  and we have the website www.MontroseGoldTeam.com but I just checked and it is “parked” at GoDaddy… still… oops… Gotta fix that (put it on the todo list).  Will probably point it to www.SoldCORE.com my original website, which does point to this blog under the button on the right. 

BTW SoldCORE is kindof underconstruction as well.  If you want to search properties in the area, check out www.C21ActionRealty.com it has the IDX service all hooked up.  I am going to try to offload this to the office site soon from my site (its on the todo list…) 

Today is my Birthday!  Yeah I officially cleared another year!  Still breathing!  Still not perfect (but its a goal to keep getting better all the time - like fine wine, scotch or whiskey!) I am now 46 and have been selling Real Estate for over 4 years now.  Wow! 

On bad days, I Often I wonder why I picked this profession (the pay has been less than great lately), but deep down I know why… I love Real Estate, I love learning, I love variety, and I love people in general.  I especially like helping people. 

I hope my blog (this blog) helps people, including myself.  It provides a means for me to share what I know and what I want to know, with more than one person at a time (more efficient).  I have recently become addicted to Facebook and had a stint on twitter (that I need to revive as well).  I am trying to embrace social media in an attempt to educate as well as drum up business and I suppose make my life more fulfilling in general.

So here are other ways to keep up with me:

Facebook  - Name:  Chris Ormsbee  Web address:  http://profile.to/chrisormsbee

I kind of over twitterized and have several accounts (don’t think I have touched any since March sorry guys…)  but I had flavors of interest I was trying to use… think they all still work.  And I will follow you back eventually I need a tool here too.

Twitter 1 - ChrisOrmsbee - To be or not to be an internet marketer!  (to peddle real estate and whatever I can believe in and make money off of).

Twitter 2 - ProfRealEstate - Professional Real Estate (”dude” I guess!)

Twitter 3 - YourCoreAdvisor - To tie into and brand with this blog (I hope!)

Twitter 4 - ProForeclosure - (Trying to niche in on foreclosures - but a lot more money is to be made investing in foreclosures, than as a Realtor… Takes lots of time with a lot of uncertainty of return, still I know a lot about the process and how to deal with the various issues… and help people in this situation)

So follow me or be my friend there!  I am pretty friendly, but sometimes strange (especially my sense of humor), and I am definitely opinionated and most of you will probably not agree with all of them (but thats cool).

Other social sites to come (once cloning is a reality or I find a tool to integrate better across the sites to share my thoughts and ideas…)  Or if someone gives me a personal geek for my Bday!  haha (did you know I used to be a geek [I have a BS in Computer Science from CSU 1986], so I like it.  I just don’t have enough waking hours to do it all).

So here it is! 

I was never big on New Years Resolutions so I am going to do a

Birthday Resolution…

As we get older “regularity” can be a problem for some, so I am going to try to dedicate some time on a regular basis to tweeting, sharing my thoughts on facebook and posting here.   My goal is 8 hours per week as follows (2 hours for blog posts, 2 hours for tweeting, 4 hours for facebook (cut back from about 16 now), and 2 hours for other social media (TBD).   I am going to post this “Schedule” on my wall. in an effort to make it a reality.   And of course about 40-50 hrs/week straight up real estate dealing.  The rest is mine, and my kid’s and my girl friend’s…   Its a lofty goal and so often we just jump when a client calls (so it kills our schedules), but I am going to try real hard to be more regular as I age…

Your job is to send buyers and sellers to me, or if thats you call us!

Also please make helpful suggestions (like how to stop the viagra spammer comments) and where you think I should focus (for your benefit).   BTW Diane is less than convinced that this Social Media is worthwhile - so please feel free to drop her an email to convince her otherwise (NO SPAM PLEASE).  She can be emailed at: DianeHaynes@C21ActionRealty.com

I can be emailed at ChrisOrmsbee@SoldCORE.com

Thanks in Advance!  Chris
