There's Only One Goal Worth Pursuing In This Business . . . - 06/27/11 12:28 PM
Each year in real estate, I fine tune just a little more here, a little more there.
Took a listing last week owned by a retired real estate broker from the 80s. He told me about a recent conversation with another agent, who repeated his value as a TOP PRODUCER, #1 agent in a large firm and in the top 5% in sales production in his association.
The seller told me he asked the agent, "How exactly does that help solve MY problem as a consumer?", but the agent only reiterated the 'credentials' in response.
He recalled to me: "When … (9 comments)

Fort Mohave AZ Real Estate And Life - Candice's Not-So-Secret Tuna Dip Recipe . . . Muy Bueno - 06/24/11 12:31 PM
When I was attending radio school in Hollywood, CA, we used to stop over at a great Hollywood bar and grill called Carlos n Charlie's. Sadly, it's no longer there. But back in the late 70s it was an amazing place where a young student like me could end up sitting next to one of Lana Turner's husbands or Alice Cooper's manager.
When you bellied up to the bar or a table, a bowl of chips and this AMAZING tuna dip was placed in front of you.
That stuff was so good. I IMMEDIATELY started trying to replicate it. To no … (6 comments)

How Many Listing Agents DOES It Take To Make The IMPOSSIBLE Happen? - 06/16/11 02:43 PM
I had a listing a few years ago . . . sellers were not what I would call 'motivated' and after the first 2 rejected market-realistic offers, I opted not to seek renewal of the listing when it expired.
I was the third listing agent at that time.
There have been 3 more since.
And the property is still not sold.
Mission Highly Unlikely.
This past week, a seller I had listed very, very briefly, also a few years ago -- until it became apparent that the tenants were NOT going to cooperate -- contacted me. I marketed to the hilt, … (10 comments)

You Never Know Who Is Lurking - 06/12/11 11:43 AM
Buyers are coming out of the woodwork as Summer approaches along the Beautiful Colorado River.
I've acquired half a dozen this past week . . . everyone wants to be on the River for sun and fun, STAT!
I'm actually . . . don't faint . . . contemplating adding an agent. It's someone I know well who will work hard, so I am probably going to be OK (pray for me anyway).
A nice couple who called me this week took me by surprise, when I instructed them to take a look at my website, www.RealEstateBHC.com and visit the IDX … (8 comments)

"I Can't Be Your Agent Any More Because I QUIT REAL ESTATE!" - 06/09/11 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)

The Words You Want To Hear At A Final Walkthrough--Especially When It's The Buyer's First Viewing! - 06/05/11 09:44 PM
Yesterday we did a final walkthrough of a Fort Mohave home that the buyer had bought sight unseen up to that point.
He told me what to find for him, with help and input from a family member.
Then, just as we began looking, he fell and broke his foot--requiring that he check into a rehab facility full time for several weeks.
But he instructed us to keep looking, and we did. We saw a lot of 'no way' listings, and a couple of 'second and third choices' . . . but
when we came upon the house that we are … (6 comments)

Do This ONE THING, To Improve Your Business And Make Your Buyers Happy - 06/02/11 02:49 PM
I was chattering with a REALTOR friend this AM. She was bummin' a bit about how buyers she's been working with keep making silly offers (1/3 to 1/2 of market value) and then blaming her when the homes sell to someone else.
I asked her, "If your buyers are aware that the list to sale price ratio is higher than they are offering by a good amount, why are they making lower offers and expecting them to be [reviewed at all, let alone] accepted?"
"You are sending them a CMA with listings, and then again prior to their making an offer, … (14 comments)
