  The average Realtor sells 12 homes a year. That might not sound like a lot. But the “average” real estate agent really isn’t average at all. Some agents are part-time. Other agents focus on rentals. Real estate listings aren’t like eBay listings. Some listings are destined to become expired listings — they’re just priced too high. A real estate professional has to fight for each listing they have. And that leads many to wonder how to get listings in the first place. How do you start building your book? The more listings you have, the more successful you’ll be as a listing agent — period. Since other people are hard at work to buy houses, it’s not always your role to find a potential buyer. Instead, it’s your role to negotiate well for your seller. But you can’t just wait around until someone you know needs an agent. And the process of cold calling is exhausting. So, let’s take a look at some creative ways to get more listings. What We’ll Cover 1. Promote your existing listings th...

  Sleep Disorders and Weight Gain | What To Do Think about it: If you’re feeling sleepy at work, you may be tempted to reach for a cup of coffee (or several cups) and a doughnut for a quick shot of energy. Later you may skip the gym and pick up takeout on your way home to your family -- no time to cook. When you finally find yourself back in your bed, you are too wound up to sleep. It’s a vicious cycle, and eventually this  sleep deprivation can sabotage your waistline and your health. It starts out innocently enough. “When you have sleep deprivation and are running on low energy, you automatically go for a bag of potato chips or other comfort foods,” saysSusan Zafarlotfi, PhD, clinical director of the Institute for Sleep and Wake Disorders at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey. The immediate result? You may be able to fight off sleepiness. The ultimate result? Unwanted pounds as poor food choices coupled with lack of exercise set the stage for...

  Create the Ideal Sleep Environment Declutter your room.  Keeping your bedroom tidy and removing any potential distractions is essential for your body to begin to relax. Important work documents, busy artwork or even a treadmill are all examples of the stressful reminders of your responsibilities that can distract you while you are trying to sleep. Instead, try to keep your room clutter-free and the décor to a minimum. Reduce light exposure.  For an ideal sleep environment, try room darkening window treatments, heavy curtains, or an eye mask to eliminate as much natural light as possible. Light can come from anywhere—streetlights, your hallway, even the moon and the stars—all of which can trick your brain into thinking it’s daytime. Blue light exposure can also affect you quality of sleep. Research shows that blue light exposure keeps you awake by increasing alertness, shifting your circadian rhythm, and suppressing the sleep-promoting hormone melatonin. Set an alarm an ...

  Aloo Matar is one of the most comforting and beloved Punjabi curries around. I learned how to make this spicy tomato-based potato and pea curry from my Mother-in-Law, and it is now a favorite recipe in our house. Serve aloo mutter with some puri, roti or paratha for a meal that feels like a hug! About This Aloo Matar Recipe Aloo (meaning “potatoes”) and matar (also spelled mattar or mutter, meaning “peas”) join forces in this delightfully saucy curry. It is also known as  aloo matar ki sabji  in Hindi. When I’m in need of comfort food, this is the recipe I turn to. NOTE: Aloo matar can be made either in a gravy base or made dry like roasted veggies. If you are a fan of the dry version of peas and potatoes, then do check my savory and spiced  Dry Aloo Matar Sabzi  which tastes equally good. Homestyle food is not only easier and quicker to make than restaurant-style recipes, but it is also often more familiar as well. One of the things I like about this Aloo Mat...
