Even in this market, I've been dealing with sellers who think their house is great the way it is, they don't need to declutter, fix the broken. How do you get through that there are other houses, LOTS of houses in their price range on the market? I've taken to using our association's monthly statistics to show them just how many homes they were competing against, how many sold in the last three to four months and talking to them about the absorption rate. When they hear there are 27 homes in the county in their price range, all but 7 … (4 comments)
After having been with Visual Tours for over a year, I have decided to start on Real Estate Show. Not that there was anything wrong with Visual Tours but I liked the more elegant look to the Real Estate Tour. AR's Jeff Turner personally answered some of my questions and customer service answered the phone and spoke clear English (as did Visual Tours) and took care of my validation quickly. I was up and running in no time at all and ready to start my first show. 
My mom happens to be one of the neatest people I know. She prides herself on having at least one empty shelf in every closet just so that she knows she doesn't have too much stuff. She has organized and simplified her life and almost never loses anything. (Dad and I still remind her of the time back in 1983 when she lost her sunglasses in the lake, but it really shouldn't count anymore. And it was probably someone else who lost them anyway.)
Anywhere you can live work and play is home. Osceola County is home to many newcomers. With over 13 million people a year visiting in our back yard, many are attracted to the new low prices and great variety of homes available for sale. Kissimmee over the past twenty years has blossomed from the "boonies" to major artery and tourism hot spot. Attractive hotel room rates make Kissimmee a desireable alternative to International Visitors looking to enjoy the parks, but not the chaos of staying "in town". Just to the east, and twenty miles from the parks is the quiet town … (3 comments)
Don't get me wrong.... first I was a Nerd, and now I'm a Geek. I have had a fascination with computers for a very long time, and maybe that's my problem.
Dear Jim, 
I received a great call from a concerned citizen regarding the mall update at Sunriver - what many of us have known as the Village Mall will most likely undergo some major changes. The Mall sold last year to a group of home owners and Sunriver visitors which formed an LLC called SilverStar, LLC this group of investors either own Sunriver property or are frequent visitors of Sunriver.
Our market in Connecticut is really becoming fast paced! Showings, contracts, multiple offers, new listings, OH MY! The weather has been unusually warm, is that it? The fed dropping the rate, is that it? Whatever it is, we are all thrilled to be "on fire" at this time of year! I have a new agent who is starting her training course next week and she is so excited to hear the phones ringing. Three more months to go. Looks like this year is going to go out with a BANG! Hope to go to one more Turning Point before the new year! They … (17 comments)

One thing I never wanted to do was lead a boring life. I've had my share of "Groundhog" days with each day a repeat of the last and I was miserable. It took much courage (or total stupidity, I haven't decided yet) that while raising two children and owning a home ALONE whether to finally quit my reliable, guaranteed income producing job with benefits to pursue a dream. My last day of work I took off my watch as I was no longer be dictated by time. Sink or swim, I was on my own.
In my last entry I spoke about how the availably of loans has dramatically impacted the housing market. The explosion of the "sub prime" market fueled the explosion of buyers, dramatically increasing the number of buyers. But now many of those loans are unavailable, decreasing the number of buyers and slowing our housing market.
