Jill Heineck’s Tactical Tips for Selling Your House in Today’s Environment

Transcript

Lee Kantor: [00:00:05] Welcome to Jill Heineck’s Tactical Tips for Selling Your House In Today’s Environment. I’m Lee Kantor. Jill, today’s question is, in the absence of traditional open houses, how do you attract buyers?

Jill Heineck: [00:00:17] That’s a great question. What we’re doing now to attract buyers is really leveraging our agent network relationships. Other colleagues that we’ve worked with in our marketplace and those who we know work in the markets where our listings are, we’re leveraging those just to get them to bring their buyers through. Just to verify that they know about the properties. We’re calling past prospects. We’re making calls to our databases. We are leveraging our social networks. And we are just talking about what to expect when we do this. Because we are getting a lot more traffic this way. We’re doing a lot of online open houses instead of in-person open houses. And that is getting a lot more eyeballs, ironically, on the property and requests for virtual walk-throughs. So, this is how we are attracting more buyers to our listings.

Lee Kantor: [00:01:11] Good stuff, Jill. For more answers to your real estate questions, please go to heineckandcompany.com.

Michael Lennox with ATLFAMILYMEAL

00:00 /

Michael Lennox, Founder and CEO of ATLFAMILYMEAL, is an Atlanta native known for his restaurant concepts on Atlanta’s BeltLine, Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall, Muchacho and Golden Eagle.

Inspired by the redevelopment of the Beltline and Atlanta’s culinary scene, Lennox left his career in law to enter the restaurant industry in 2014 with Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall, situated on the Atlanta BeltLine’s Eastside Trail. Following Ladybird’s success, Lennox opened sister restaurants Muchacho and Golden Eagle in the fall of 2017 to much acclaim.

When the COVID-19 pandemic led to the closure of Michael’s three restaurants (Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall, Muchacho and Golden Eagle) this March, Michael created ATLFAMILYMEAL, a nonprofit initiative with the mission to feed, nourish, and support hospitality workers experiencing food insecurity and joblessness.

The initiative brings together a community of local chefs, restaurant owners, hospitality workers, and business/non-profit leaders to purchase, prepare, and deliver free meals to hospitality workers in need across the metro Atlanta area. Since launching, the organization has delivered more than 86,000 meals to unemployed hospitality workers from over 200 metro Atlanta restaurants, breweries, and hospitality businesses.

Most recently, the organization received a donation of $2 million from a local donor in honor of two Atlanta restaurant servers. This generous donation will allow the organization to continue feeding, nourishing, and supporting hospitality workers experiencing food insecurity and joblessness in Atlanta as well as allow the organization to pursue its goals to grow its small team and add initiatives in the months and years ahead that are focused on food and hospitality education, workforce development, and community resources.

ATDC Radio: Take Five – Triple Threat Edition

September 24, 2020 by angishields

About Your Host

Jane McCracken returns to ATDC as a Startup Catalyst, having started her career here many years ago. She then moved into venture capital and investment banking both in the United States and Europe before joining an early-stage, medical diagnostics company as chief financial officer. During her time there, she raised $60 million and completed eight international acquisitions. The company was listed on both the London and Oslo stock exchanges.

Jane then worked with two venture-backed companies. She joined the founders of an online travel company as CEO, and took it from startup to the world’s second-largest hotel booking site before Travelocity acquired it. At the request of her venture investors, Jane then joined a computer games developer as CEO and turned around the faltering enterprise before it was sold to a NASDAQ-listed games company.

Most recently, Jane was CEO of an oncology-focused clinical research company, which grew from startup to a multinational firm with $15 million in annual revenue and offices across Europe and the United States. The company was financed through its own cash flow and was sold in early 2012 to a larger clinical research organization.

Jane continues to work with fast growing companies — in interim and full-time positions — as a consultant, board member, and angel investor. In addition, Jane has served on boards for public and private companies, as well as government-related and non-profit organizations. She is a frequent speaker and panelist at conferences, companies, and universities and is an active volunteer in her community. Jane obtained her bachelor’s degree from Wake Forest University and her master’s degree at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

BRX Pro Tip: Celebrate Wins

Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to BRX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, let’s talk a little bit about the importance of celebrating wins.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:09] Yeah. As an entrepreneur, it gets really important to take a moment to appreciate and feel gratitude for the work that you’ve been doing in the wins that have happened. Sadly, we spend a lot of our time focusing on the next thing rather than taking a moment to appreciate what we have accomplished. And sometimes you lose track of all that you have accomplished because there’s all that you still want to do ahead of you and you spend all of your mental energy focusing on that.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:36] And I think that celebrating gives you that moment to look back, appreciate all that you have done, and not kind of feel bad that you haven’t accomplished everything that you set out to accomplish yet. You’re going to spend enough mental energy focusing on that. So, it’s probably good mental health to take a beat or two to just appreciate the wins. And it’s good for the team, too, to kind of enjoy the victories rather than just focusing on what is yet to be accomplished.

Maria Fundora with Purple Pansies

Maria Fundora with Purple Pansies

00:00 /

Maria Fundora founded nonprofit Purple Pansies in 2008 following her own mother’s death from pancreatic cancer. She felt called to raise awareness and crucial research dollars for this chronically underfunded but deadly cancer.

The mission of Purple Pansies is to raise funds for research, clinical trials, early detection through TGen (Translational Genomics Research Institute) and to aide families in our community who have a family member suffering from pancreatic cancer and financially can use our help. Purple Pansies has raised over $2 Million dollars since the organization began. Last year with the help of generous donors and partners like Kroger, Kraft/Heinz, Anheuser Busch and Coca Cola we were able to raise $500,000. This year they have set a goal to raise $600,000 with an anonymous donor willing to match the amount.

Maria was once again motivated to step up and help the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Maria and her team from Purple Pansies have provided meals for over 14 teams of front-line workers at various hospitals and Kroger (their premier partner) grocery workers across Cobb, Forsyth , Fulton and Gwinnett counties, as well as to Meals by Grace, Safehouse Outreach and Operation Smile and pancreatic cancer survivor families. Maria knows the front-line health care workers around Atlanta and beyond are working incredibly hard and providing care for those who are sick (including cancer patients) during this crisis. Cancer doesn’t go away because of COVID-19, it just makes it more difficult for cancer patients during the crisis.

Maria’s goal is to give just a little bit back in honor of her mother and so many others who have died from pancreatic cancer by giving compassion and making a lasting difference in the lives of others. Year to date, Purple Pansies has granted four pancreatic warriors, monetary support in their continued fight against pancreatic cancer.
Maria is also the owner of Casa Nuova Italian Restaurant as well as Cork & Glass in Alpharetta.

Christi De Ved with Safe Hands Company

Christi De Ved with Safe Hands Company

00:00 /

Christi De Ved is Co-Founder of Safe Hands Company, a research-backed, visual communication system and re-entry consulting company, that just launched in response to COVID-19 as many businesses and individuals transition back into society.

Founded by Nurse Anesthetist Monica Burrell and marketing veteran, Christi De Ved, Safe Hands was born out of a 30 day public opinion polling project on the impacts of the Coronavirus outbreak on society conducted by Wick, a market research technology start-up that their husbands co-founded along with Atlanta designer Blaise Pericas.

The Safe Hands communication system is a color-based visual communication tool that is simple to train, and quick and easy to adopt. It allows users to indicate their personal comfort levels so that interactions are made with understanding, respect and empathy. The system facilitates clear communication through colors that can be translated on any medium, and classifies users into three categories:

Orange: Home At-Risk
Orange wearers have a “home at-risk” meaning they or a loved one are vulnerable to COVID-19 and would like to maximize distance from others or minimize interactions.

Blue: Seeking Space
Blue wearers are “seeking space” and hoping to honor social distancing measures wherever possible.

Green: Comfortable Interacting
Green wearers are in an environment where they are “comfortable interacting,” even in close proximity with others.
