I think that Listing Price is TOO LOW! - 01:48 PM
I held a Broker Open yesterday.  The open was a great success with over 30 Realtors coming through and providing feedback. This particular listing has been on the market for a while. We have been aggressive about lowering the price, making improvements, keeping it clean, neat and available. My sellers are extremely knowledgeable about the market and realistic about the market conditions. Yet, the home has not gone under contract. It is the smallest model in a neighborhood of fairly large homes. It sits next to one of the biggest homes in the neighborhood. This positioning can be a visual challenge, … (4 comments)

Personal Safety - 10:10 PM
Personal safety is a concern for many of us. Depending on our job we may put ourselves at a greater risk than the general population. There are many options to consider when defending oneself. Mace is an option that is easy to obtain, carry and use. I carried it around for years. Not that I thought it was a great defense but it was a little something extra.
This year I decided to ditch the mace and improve my shooting skills. First I decided to replace my .22. After shooting various caliber handguns I opted for a .380. I really like … (8 comments)

You're closing my office? That wasn't in my business plan. - 12:46 PM
For the third time in 3 years, I've had an office pulled right out from under me.  The dreaded "mandatory" office meeting email was my sign this time around. 
The first closure was an email on Christmas Eve saying we were all locked out as the broker filed bankruptcy. 
The best I can say is the news doesn't shock me anymore. 
The time the brokerage is only closing one office. Unfortunately, it's mine.  I could stay with the brokerage...if I wanted to travel to the next closest office 30 miles away.  Nah.
So here I go again...boxing up an office and … (6 comments)

Don't you just HATE that?  All the preparation for the Open House, promotion, putting up signs... Sellers spiffing up the house, full of expectations...

What is Title Insurance and Why do I need it? - 06:59 PM
What is Title Insurance and why do I need it?

Dear Mr Buyer, this is a very good question. Personally I call Title Insurance "Peace of Mind" Tax. However, Title Insurance is an insurance policy that is purchased at settlement. It's an insurance policy that protects you, the owner, against a LOSS that may arise by reason of a defect in your ownership that was not discovered prior to settlement.
For most residential properties there are two different types of policies.
Owners title insurance policy Mortgagee title insurance policy Unless you are purchasing a home with cash, you will need … (5 comments)
