Know the oldest cure for a sore throat? Gargle with ice water for 30 seconds! This may be the world's best kept secret too. This is what a doctor told my daughter to do and it's the first I have ever heard of it. But, you need to stop at 30 seconds because it will give you a 'brain freeze' or cold headaches if you don't.
Speaking of old ideas that still work, why not start a "Newcomer's Club?" This is an awesome idea that you do not see anymore that can be a huge way for Realtors to capture new buyers and build a huge referral network too.
Read my tip of the week below for more on this neat idea!
Are you working hard at selling?
Here's the quote of the week I heard this week:
"I can't tell you that you will be successful if you work hard everyday, but I can tell you that you won't if you don't."
Remember the following selling points:
1. $7500 first-time home buyer tax credit, - Agents are not doing this yet!
2. Low interest rates with programs down to a 580 FICO score.
3. Some of the best home values in this greatest buyer's market in history!
Also, please make sure that your buyers and sellers know that WE HAVE MONEY TO LEND!! With all the negative mortgage news, many in the public do not know that we can lend money. Spread the news. Put this in your print ads too!

I'll have to try that remedy.
thanks for sharing.

I've never tried ice water but I've used salt water successfully for 40 years. I'll have to try it sometimes.
It's about reducing the inflamation. I plan on trying too the next time I get a sore throat.
When I was a kid, my mom had a sore throat remedy that worked for us like a charm. She would cut a white onion in quarters, then half again, put the pieces in a Mason jar, and pour sugar over them and set the jar on the counter. After a little while, there is a syrup created, and a spoonful of that syrup stops coughing, soothes the throat, and has no medication to worry about (especially for kids). I used it on my kids too, and was surprised that it didn't even seem to cause bad breath.
