real estate: Is the Market Really Headed In the Wrong Direction? - 04/27/12 08:38 AM
Is the Market Really Headed In the Wrong Direction? I don't think so, and I can back it up!
Last week the national news naysayers told us that February sales were down 5.5%! Doom and Gloom! My question is, "Down From What?
Down from last week? Down from last month? Down from last year? Down from 5 years ago? I know that national statistics are interesting, but are they really important? Real estate is local. The local economy effects real estate. Local employment effect real estate. Believe it or not, local weather effect real estate.
Here is some relevant data to … (2 comments)

real estate: Sell Low? Buy Lower! - 11/21/11 05:27 PM
If you are one of those sellers setting on the fence waiting for prices to climb before you sell, don't wait too long!
Prices have always went up and down and I believe we are at the bottom and beginning the long slow climb out of this lousy economy in Michigan. I don't think it will be anything fast but I have witnessed a 3% climb over the past year in residential real estate here in West Michigan.
Not only are prices stabilizing, Interest rates can hardly go any lower and most likely will begin to climb as well. The difference … (0 comments)

real estate: Can I collect a commission on that? I Already Did! - 08/16/11 02:13 PM
I believe Realtors must be the most optimistic people on earth, especially here in West Michigan.
My grandpa sold real estate in Muskegon back in the '30s and '40s. My dad sold real estate and was one of the top producers in Muskegon County back in the '70s and '80s. I waited to get into the business until it was taking a nose dive and I really enjoy this business but at times it can be quite discouraging and I begin to wonder. But then the next day dawns and with it a good prospect or two show up and business looks … (1 comments)

real estate: How much does your lender owe you? - 12/02/10 02:28 PM
How can I be late on my house payment?
Last year, like a lot of home owners in Muskegon County, and all over West Michigan, I received a notice that my property taxes had been lowered. Cedar Creek Township realizes that property values have declined and they must have decided acknowlege this.
I also had a power boat and I sold it last fall. The insurance on the boat was a rider on my home owners policy. As soon as I sold the boat I canceled the insurance and figured this would decrease my escrow account for my taxes and insurance by a … (0 comments)

real estate: Could there be such a thing as too much training? - 08/25/08 04:15 PM
I have begun to wonder if there could be such a thing as too much training.
Why do agents settle for the minimum? I want to be at the top of my game, not competing for Last Place. Now don't take me wrong. I am not greedy. I just feel I can serve my client the best when I have spent the extra time and money to attend the classes that will give me the knowledge I need to stay on the cutting edge.
Many times, when I get into a discussion on agency or fiduciary duties, I find that some of these agents who … (0 comments)

real estate: Permanent eMail Address - 08/25/08 02:29 PM
Tired of buying new cards because someone changed your email address again? Would you like a permanent email address you can print on everything and never have to change it? Would you like an email address you can take with you when you change companies?
Want a domain name that will be easy for your clients to remember? Would you like to advertise your domain name on each email you send? Would you like your domain name to point to your your own site or a page on the company site?
I can help. It is absolutely painless and not very expensive. Go to … (0 comments)
