"I Can't Be Your Agent Any More Because I QUIT REAL ESTATE!" - 07:17 PM
Nah, not me. I'm a lifer.
But I gathered a new client looking for Fort Mohave homes for sale this week, because of just that.
When I asked the prospect if they were or had been working with an agent, they said  . . .
"Well, we were . . . but he texted us that he quit real estate, told us another agent would be helping us but we never heard from that agent in over a month, so we needed to find someone else."
June is the month the agents are all cutting checks for their MLS dues, and … (22 comments)

A Long Long Time A Go - 04:27 PM
A Long Long Time A Go in a place I use to know there lived a tribe of Friendly Bankers. They opened their doors at 10 each morning and closed promptly at 3. But, if you knocked on the back door by the big parking lot you could get in after 8:15 or until 5:00. The head teller always keep his drawer in a separate little safe that he could access any time in case you need a few thousand before they opened or he went home.

Majority of Americans Still Want to Own Their Own Home - 07:47 AM

GEORGE FOUND A STATISTIC THAT WARMS MY HEART.
"Despite the recent housing crisis and perceptions of risk in housing markets, 75 percent of the participants agreed that owning a home is worth the risk."
                                          
I agree and the statistic doesn't surprise me in the least. 
Americans don't want to rent their shelter any more than they want to lease vehicles or rent the clothes on their backs. 
Now, the spread between the 65% of Americans who already own and the 75% who want to own is about 10%.  With the exception of home owners who are trapped by negative … (12 comments)

BUYERS AGENTS ALERT! DON'T RELY ON THAT BUYERS AGENCY AGREEMENT! - 08:24 AM
WHEN DOES A BUYERS AGENCY AGREEMENT PROTECT AN AGENT??
JUST WHAT PROTECTION DOES A BUYERS AGENCY AGREEMENT GIVE AN AGENT ANYWAY??
"MY BUYER HAS TO USE ME, I HAVE AN EXCLUSIVE BUYER AGENCY AGREEMENT"  HA!  Famous last words.  The BA Agreement doesn't protect agents from a buyer straying and using another agent to buy a home.  What it does is give the agent/broker is a contract on which to proceed to sue and to collect a commission if the buyer buys during the period of that BA Agreement. 
DON'T COMPARE AN EXCLUSIVE BUYER BROKER AGREEMENT to a LISTING AGREEMENT.  "But, Lenn, a contract is … (72 comments)

LANDSCAPING IN LOUDOUN COUNTY IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA IS EASY WITH DECORATIVE GRASSES.
Each year as a part of the autumn landscaping care, we "CUT BACK" the ornamental grasses in my yard from the 4 feet to 12 feet they have reached over the summer to a mere 1 foot or less.  OUCH! 
However, they always come back.  They are beautiful, tall and majestic.  I love them.  The "green" in the plants just begin to show last week but soon, I'll those bauties back.
Ornamental grasses make lovely landscaping accents. 
  
These are my favorites.

Housing Glut in Arizona?? Supply versus Demand, it is Basic Economics - 02:37 PM
Supply Versus Demand - The average months supply (active listings divided by monthly sales rate) for the period Jan 1, 2001 to June 1, 2011 is 5.9 months.  Its considered to be a "seller's market" at 4 months' supply.  Right now we have a 3.2 month supply. Yet we read everywhere that there is a "glut of foreclosed homes on the market". What we are reading may have been true in November last year. It is not true now. In fact available supply is really even tighter than this. If we only count active listings that don't have a contract the months supply number … (2 comments)
