- Answer 3: The best way to maximize profits as a Realtor is to create a well-conceived, step-by-step marketing plan of how your client's home is going to be marketed.
- Creating a step-by-step marketing plan gives a Realtor a direction and path to follow so that they can successfully and quickly sell or buy a property. (i.e. Similar to a "To-do-list", it organizes and effectively displays information in a simple manner).
- Satisfaction of the client: Many clients look for a Realtor who knows what they're doing. How a Realtor manages their properties and clients says a lot about their credibility. (i.e. A well-developed marketing plan can represent the future, if not current, success of a Realtor because a marketing plan is the foundation for the sale or purchase of a property).
- A marketing plan is an essential rough draft or skeleton. It gives definition and meaning to the rest of a Real Estate transaction. Without a decent marketing plan, a Realtor can have a hard time making a successful sale. (i.e. Humans cannot live without a skeleton; Realtors cannot make the most successful possible sale without a marketing plan).

- "How A Good REALTOR Can Maximize Your Profits." Lake Tahoe Real Estate and Truckee Real Estate. N.p., n.d. Web. 27 Mar. 2014.
- Mentor: Monica Diaz
- A certified Century 21: Masters agent who has worked 25 years in real estate. She is the top Real Estate agent in her office and the third most successful Real Estate agent in Century 21: Masters throughout the nation.
- Concluding Sentence:
- A marketing plan is unique to the Realtor that creates it. It not only organizes and lays out directions to follow, but it also reflects how a Realtor deals with his or her sales.

Monday, January 6, 2014
Blog 10: Senior Project: The Holiday
1. It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school. What did you over the break with your senior project?
A: Yes of course, working when you can (break or not) is always vital to the overall success of your senior project. Unfortunately for myself, there were no opportunities presented by my mentor. However I did continue to do more research into my topic as well as working on my 10 minute Lesson 1 presentation.
2. What was the most important thing you learned from what you did and why? What was the source of what you learned?
A: The most important thing I learned is that you can never have too much research. Sometimes even the sources you thought were reliable are contradicted by even MORE reliable sources. The source of what I learned was in correlation to my research.
3. If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers of your EQ, who would you talk to and why?
A: Preferably I'd like to speak to my mentor, Monica Diaz, because of how long she's been in the industry and also how successful she's been. If that option was not available however, I would most likely interview her broker, Neil, who is in charge of all real estate agents at the Century 21: Masters company office.

Blog 9: EQ
1. "I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ."
Essential Question
Once a topic is chosen, the student will develop a working essential question. The purpose of the working essential question is to help the student build a strong foundation of research which will allow him or her to create an essential question that encourages depth and rigor in the chosen topic. An essential question must:
2. Review the following EQs and tell us if it meets the rule of 3 criteria, and why it does or why it doesn't.
a. What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
b. What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
3. Based on your review of the rule of 3 and your experience with assessing four EQs, please write another draft EQ for your senior project.

Essential Question
Once a topic is chosen, the student will develop a working essential question. The purpose of the working essential question is to help the student build a strong foundation of research which will allow him or her to create an essential question that encourages depth and rigor in the chosen topic. An essential question must:
- Provide a framework for studies (It calls for breadth and depth of research, Is not a yes/no question)
- Takes a stance (Allows you to argue some point, Cannot be a recitation of facts or a list)
- Format (It is specific, The wording makes sense)
a. What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
- No, this EQ has to many holes and seems to be too vague. It is not a yes/no question, but it doesn't meet the other criteria.
b. What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
- This EQ is closer to meeting all criteria than the first. It is not a yes/no question, it is open for various viewpoints, and it's wording it formatted correctly.
- Yes, this EQ meets all 3 criteria. It is not a yes/no question and therefore must be researched to a certain extent, it allows various opinions and standpoints, and its wording is detailed and specific.
- No, this EQ is far too simple and general to meet the criteria. It is not detailed at all and is also open for many holes (similar to the first).
3. Based on your review of the rule of 3 and your experience with assessing four EQs, please write another draft EQ for your senior project.
