A listing agents worst nightmare. - 08:45 PM
What a day. There is nothing like two listing appointments on one day to start the month on a good note.
The first one of the day was without drama. I had sold the house to my client 2 years ago, so I was very familiar with the area and the house. Paperwork signed and en route to number 2.
The second seller is someone who has been in my database for many years, but never really felt the need to move.....until just recently.
I got the call on Friday and today was the day to meet. I have stopped by … (15 comments)

Real Estate in the News in Flagstaff - 06:29 PM
Flagstaff has lots of golf courses as well as hiking trails, but one of our local high-end developments did not do very well. It came on line right at the recession of 2002 and then hit the competition of a more desirable high-end golf development in 2005. Then it slipped into bankruptcy. Now, our local papers says the Flagstaff Ranch development is coming out of court: Out of the rough: Flag Ranch Golf Club emerges from bankruptcy. We'll see, it still has some tough competition from Pine Canyon. And, of course, the established Forest Highlands Community.
For golfers seeking more reasonable … (1 comments)

Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach...Why Is It So Expensive? Wrong Question... - 12:54 AM
I was showing units in Plaza Resort to a couple from New York. They are for a good investment, and it should be a nice place as the husband wants to use it to wow his suppliers and also use it to send employees as a reward.
I have already showed the units to him, and now he came with his lovely wife, so that the real boss could say "yes" or "no".
Prices in the Plaza Resort & Spa, one of the most luxurious condo-hotels range from $55K to $459K, where $459K is a dream price from 2005-2006 and $55K is … (8 comments)

Naked King Is A Naked King. Even With a Robe On. - 01:26 PM
Aaron Auxier, a Las Vegas Real Estate star and terrific blogger posted Top 10 words real estate bloggers should avoid.
As much as I like him, like his posts, I feel some resistance to what he advised. I understand his point, and I, theoretically, agree with it, that we need to avoid being pushy car salesmen, but again, words are like bricks, and bricks are nor good neither bad, they are only what the architect designed and the builder built. So, if they are in place, the structure looks fine. If they are not in the right place, it may look ugly.

The 4 factors to find real estate value - 09:28 PM
Yesterday I was Skype videoed into an investor conference in San Francisco. I was presenting Oklahoma opportunities in residential real estate, but I prefaced my presentation with the 4 factors that anyone including owner-occpants have to evaluate to establish possible present and future value. This is not an exact science but these questions have to be answered.
The Job Market
If you don't have jobs you don't have good renters, nor do you have people buying homes for themselves. California has a 10% unemployment rate that may go higher. Oklahoma City is 4.6%, the lowest in the nation for metro areas … (0 comments)

Purchase a home because you love it. - 05:24 PM
I purchased my home two years ago.  I thought it was a really nice home for the money though it was not decorated to my taste. I told myself that I would have it decorated and vying for "most beautiful home" in no time. Now two years later, my HGTV (I can tackle anything) motivation is waining, and I'm still looking at "BIG TOP CIRCUS STRIPES" in both my baths that I did not put there.  Yes, that is right ladies and gentleman,  with all the decorating expertise I possess and all the HGTV motivation in the world, I still cannot get in the mood … (0 comments)

The X-Box Killer is Caught; So Why Can't We Get Somebody to Fix Housing? - 12:35 AM
The Xbox "Ring of Death" has been solved, according to a Yahoo front-page video I just saw. Apparently, it was such an issue, the game consoles getting a "Red Ring of Death" around the power button and not doing anything else, that several Xbox owners have even filed a petition in some states. Wow. Well rest easy Xbox fans, problem solved. Issue removed. WooHoo!
Are you kidding me?
There are computer geniuses in this country! Seriously. Look at some of these folks at Google, Microsoft, Macintosh. Things are done with computers that were unthinkable a few years ago. Great things have happened in technology.
