Sellers: Understanding The Super-Adequacy Dilemma
We are often faced with the dilemma of trying to explain to a homeowner just why some outstanding feature(s) of their home adds little or nothing to value. In worse cases, we have to explain why that feature may hurt the value of a home. It is the simple fact they are outstanding which creates the problem.
Outstanding Features Do Not Always Mean Outstanding Returns.
Everything migrates towards the mean. In simple terms, this means that if your home is surrounded by higher value houses the value of your home is pulled upwards simply by the presence of … (9 comments)

real estate: Selling In Clayton County...Is It Possible? Tips For The Sellers! - 07/13/07 08:35 PM
Selling In Clayton County...Is It Impossible?
For several weeks, I have heard over and over again that selling in Clayton County is impossible. I have heard from sellers that their agents have told them if their home was somewhere it would sell. I have also heard that agents are being pretty negative when sellers call to discuss listing their home. Yes, this is true. The good news is this...

real estate: There Is Only 86,000 Seconds In A Day - 05/19/07 08:52 PM
I am finishing up reading Your First Year In Real Estate by Dirk Zeller. Ok, I am a little late in reading it, but thank goodness it was sent to me by Mario Levesque, who had a contest a while back and sent EVERYONE who participated a copy.
For awhile, I have been trying to figure out how I am going to keep blogging and come up with relative information. Of course, there are tons to write about, but when I write, I tend to learn. I am real big on qoutes, and so I decided to start taking my favorite quotes … (7 comments)

real estate: Is Real Estate Dead In Clayton County? - 05/06/07 08:24 PM
It really depends on who you ask? If your asking a seller who has had a home on the market for over a year, yes, the market is dead. If you ask a real estate agent, who isn't selling anything, yes it is dead. If you ask an agent who is selling several homes a month, the real estate market is alive and well!
Why the difference? You have to be able to understand and adjust with the market. Property values are low right now everywhere. So, you must adjust your asking price to reflect fair market value.
You need to work with … (0 comments)

real estate: Be Competitive or Lose! - 04/01/07 08:58 AM
Being in the Real Estate profession is not for the weak at heart. This blog was inspired by a comment that Mark Flanders wrote on on of my blogs. Throwing My Hat In...Apprentice Blogger Entry.
Everyday in life, I feel that people are more competitive than what they might think, however if your in a business like all of us, you better understand competition.
When your in a profession like we are, its a doggy dog world out there. Compare the number of licensed real estate agents nationwide compared those that are actually working the business. There is a large difference in those … (15 comments)

real estate: I Burned The Biscuits TWICE! - 03/19/07 08:36 PM
I have found myself in the last couple of months getting really involved in the investment property area of real estate. This really isnt surprising as most of Chris's family is involved in investment property to some degree. Today, I had something happen and I finding the more and more it happens the more I enjoy it.
This is how the biscuits were burned TWICE!
I sat down at the computer and started to read todays blogs on Active Rain. I had an experience today that I wanted to share, but wasnt quite sure how I was going to do it. As I was reading, … (6 comments)

I almost forgot that it was Monday!
Typically, Mondays are really hectic around the office. Today was no exception. My day started at about 8am. I had everything in order for the day. I went ahead and made myself busy taking care of some paperwork that I needed to catch up on.

Real Estate Professionals Are Like A Virus!
(The picture is of our wonderful Markus. He would prefer that you call him Gene Autry!)
Today, I was at a birthday party with my little boy. It happened to be at an arcade that is actually a pretty cool place for adults as well. Markus, who is 5 attends a preschool in Morrow, Ga. He has been going there for about 3 years, and this will be his last year. I have developed some very good relationships with the parents, but one thing we don't do often is talk business. Why? I don't know.

real estate: So, How Did It Work? - 03/01/07 08:04 PM
As a person who absolutely loves marketing and is willing to try almost anything at least once, we do realize that not everything works the same for everyone. It all goes back to those special touches that we personally add.
When we are asked how different things we have done works, we always hesitant to share. Why? Its simply for two reasons:
1. If it worked for us, you might try it. Well, if it doesn't work for you, you might be upset.
2. If we said it didn't work, you might never try it and it could have been the one thing that … (2 comments)
