homes: From State To State - Real Estate Is A Different Game! - 04/12/08 12:05 AM
I specialize in relocation and feel it's important to mention - the process of a Real Estate transaction differs from state to state. So many agents do not know this. So many buyers and sellers need to be educated to this fact. A transaction in Ohio can close in 4 -6

homes: Curry - Tastes better than it smells! - 12/05/07 03:12 PM
It's a definite turn off! Cooking odors that linger, pet odors, a house that smells like the "chain smoker" who lives there - these are few of my unfavorite things. It's also the hardest thing to address with a seller. This is the first thing I notice when I step into a house. At the

Inducing panic again! This time it's not about the stormy real estate market, but a "winter storm" warning that involves only a few inches. How can this be considered responsible news reporting? Last night I watched with amazement as the weatherman was urging viewers in the NY City area to brace themselves for our first winter "storm".

homes: Home For The Holidays! - 11/29/07 09:21 PM
Every year around this time sellers question me about putting their home on the market at holiday time, or in some cases taking it off the market temporarily. If they definitely need to sell quickly, I discourage these sellers from waiting. This time of the year, potential buyers are also serious buyers. In fact, alot of relocations happen this

You know how I know when I'm getting old? I answered a business related call from another agent the other day which came in on my house phone as I was getting ready to leave for the office. Now, I'm a great multi-tasker so I just continued to talk business as

homes: Open House Activity - Pleasantly Surprised - 11/18/07 10:51 PM
I started out reluctant to host an open house today (the Sunday before Thanksgiving). First let me preface this in saying the property has been on the market for a little over a year. I was the original listing agent, and after two 6 month listing periods (with another agent in the middle), I am back in the

So, which do you prefer????
What makes a house a home is what goes on inside....the people who make up a family, love, the memories (good times & bad), holidays and traditions. When I think of the holidays, especially Thanksgiving, the first thing that comes to my mind is PIE. I never can decide if
