Starting the conversation...buyers bringing offers.... - 07:35 AM
As Supply increases and demand waffels, this buyer driven market warrents care when delivering the under value offer to the seller.   Gone are the days of taking offense to what has been termed "ridiculous" offers.  Offense these days is a luxury. Consider the offer a conversation starter.   A place to begin.  
 In the big picture, as the foreclosure market looms large and prices are driving downward, why not talk TIME.  What is the value of Time?   When Time and Money share the stage which rules.  
 I recently put a property of mine on the market in ski country.   Sure, I know it is … (0 comments)

Quick listing, quick closing... who knew? - 08:17 AM

When the owners of Seatucket invited me to list their house, I was excited.    Cute, close to the Cape Cod Coast, well decorated... When we sat together They said "we are either going to rent it or sell it...and we don't really care which".   I figured in this market... this could be a long listing.    I gave them my price, and they said " No, we want to start, $20,000 higher, we love our house and we don't have to sell."  
Now, I took the listing.   Some of you in ActiveRain land are shaking your heads.   Some are just … (1 comments)

How would you react, if another realtor did this to you? - 11:47 PM
I was holding a broker's open last Wednesday, and had a  very good turnout. I served delicious sandwiches and fruit, knowing that   If  I serve lunch in Buffalo Grove, I would  get a 4 x greater turnout, then  if I didn't serve lunch.   Approximately 15 realtors attended (that's relatively good turnout in my area) and gave me excellent feedback for me to relay to my seller. 
One of the realtors who attended quickly viewed the home and then gave me some feedback.   Five seconds later, the realtor comes back in the home and asks me if she could bring her client … (94 comments)

Do Your Listings Have Pets? What To Do for Showings? - 01:40 PM
Honestly, I have a pet.  A black lab, Jack.  He is a wonderful, mellow dog.  When someone comes to the door, he becomes anxious and barks.  Well, yes, that is his job.  Watch dog.  However, when you have a listing, it is not good when you, the Realtor, are at the front door with your clients and a dog starts barking at you.  Buyers who are not familiar with dogs, really don't like to hear them.  Some people are allergic to dogs or cats.  What to do?  
Often the seller can place their pet into a crate.  It isn't for … (14 comments)

Can a Single Woman Expand Her Sphere of Influence Without Sending the Wrong Message? - 01:45 PM
I have a friend; let's call her Sarah. She is a new real estate agent and is committed to an SOI* strategy to build her business. So far, it's going well - she's already experiencing some success and is optimistic that she will survive her first year without ever cold-calling, door-knocking, farming or advertising.
Here's the problem. Sarah has a new boyfriend. When said boyfriend realized that Sarah freely hands out her phone number (in the form of her business card) to anyone who asks (regardless of gender), he was horrified. Not that he doesn't understand she has a business to … (118 comments)

Keeping that Real Estate Mojo (Updated) - 08:39 PM
I admit it. For about 3 weeks, I've succumbed to the "bad headline blues" and pretty much moped around, bemoaning the market, my expired listing (this in particular makes me INSANE), my unmotivated buyers. Yet, it is what it is. I can't change what it is. But I can change my outlook, and get my mojo back.
I spent the good part of a beautiful afternoon, sitting at a quiet open house, thinking about ways to GET MY MOJO BACK. Here's what I decided (maybe it will help you, too):
* Do open houses every weekend, because even if they are quiet, … (10 comments)

New Hampshire REALTOR Covention~Mount Washington Hotel~ - 12:11 PM
We arrived at the Mount Washington Hotel at about 10 a.m. and Jay is already on the golf course.
I was very lucky that my suite was ready and I was able to get settled in early! I have an awesome huge jacuzzi tub surrounded by windows all over looking the mountains. It is simply so inviting that I can't wait to use it.
Even surrounded by fog this place is lovely.

THE COYOTES ARE COMING...THE COYOTES ARE COMING! - 04:09 PM
All summer long we have been hearing about and reading stories of the coyotes up in The Brooks communities in Bonita Springs. They have boldly attacked small dogs while on a walk with their owners, and in some cases, the dogs have broken free of their leashes or backed out of their collars and were chased down by the coyotes, caught and dragged away. Continue
