real estate: Rentals Available in Wilkes-Barre, PA - 12/21/07 07:42 PM
Not everybody is in the position to buy a home these days. With the credit crunch on for many people who would have otherwise fit into the sub-prime market, many are finding themselves pushed out of the home buying market and into the home renting market. If this is the case for you and you

real estate: How much more could you possibly want to know about MeMe? - 12/19/07 05:52 PM
I was just commenting on another post the other day about how I actually MeMe'd someone once who had just been MeMe'd a few weeks before. It was quite by accident and the member I tagged was nice enough about it. I was wondering how many times it has happened that

real estate: So you want to know more about MeMe? - 12/17/07 09:49 PM
While most people don't like to get tagged with a MeMe, I don't have an issue with it. Recently I was chosen by Alexander Harb to be a moderator for his group Christianity and Real Estate, which came as a big surprise to me. I certainly don't hide the fact that I

Before you get too concerned about the title of this post, let me say that I am still with Realty World, Rubbico Real Estate. I was fired by a client. I guess it was inevitable. Sooner or later there will be someone who doesn't want to work with you and that's

real estate: Building a home or building equity? - 11/17/07 11:21 PM
I just finished the remodel of my kitchen. It was a low cost remodel, which basically means that I didn't replace any of the cabinets and I didn't hire anyone else to do the work. I invested a lot of my own time and work into this kitchen. A great deal

real estate: Dead Market? Not in Wilkes-Barre, PA!! - 11/13/07 11:05 AM
I'm so tired of hearing about how flat Real Estate is these days!! REAL ESTATE IS LOCAL, folks. You can't take national trends and apply that same trend to every market. Here's a case in point. Last week, we had a home come on the market. It's in a great neighborhood

real estate: Mr Telephone Man... - 11/10/07 01:40 PM
there's something wrong with my FSBO's number. I have a client who's very interested in working with a FSBO in Wilkes-Barre, but he doesn't want to do anything without my help. In this day and age, when loyalties run very low, it's refreshing to have someone like this speak words

real estate: Blogging is dangerous!! - 11/03/07 09:57 PM
I sell Real Estate in the Wilkes-Barre, PA area. Our Association of Realtors, the Greater Wilkes-Barre Association of Realtors, is very much a reflection of our market. To put it frankly, it's about 7 years behind the times and doesn't at all grasp the importance of the internet to anyone buying or selling

That line was a great one from the hit movie, Jerry Maguire. I loved that movie! You might have looked at the title of this blog and thought to yourself, "Here's another money hungry Realtor out there trying to strike it rich". That couldn't be farther from the truth. I was

Selling a home usually entails getting rid of, for lack of a better word, some junk. This can be handled in a variety of ways, from kicking it to the curb to hiring a service to remove it for you. I'd like to share something I use that's absolutely free and
