jefferson county missouri: Arnold Air Got the Job Done & Saved the Closing - 03/16/07 07:12 PM
I wanted to take a moment to thank John Politte from Arnold Air Inc. for helping me to get my closing done on time today.
One of my listings accepted a contract that featured a very quick closing (less than 2 weeks). Thank left us with lots to do, and not much time to get it done in. Our sales contract requires the seller provides a clear gas inspection, Fire Dept inspection and municipal inspection at time of closing. The Fire Dept Inspection, repairs and re-inspection was handled very quickly. Unfortunately the gas company was not as accommodating and we did not get … (0 comments)

jefferson county missouri: Market Report - Jefferson County Missouri - 03/16/07 11:56 AM
At our office meeting on Tuesday we had a visit from Gordon Gundaker, the man who started our company. He told the same stories that he always tells, year after year. The interesting thing was the page of statistics that they handed out during the meeting.
In January of this year, our office sold 67 homes. January of last year had only 43 homes sold. In fact the amount of homes we sold this January is more than were sold during any month of last year. The highest amount last year was 66 homes sold in April. We also listed 56 homes in the … (0 comments)

jefferson county missouri: Homes That Don't Sell - 03/11/07 02:13 PM
I would like to thank everyone that commented on my last post. I sure did not expect so many views and comments. My closing on Friday was a little tense, the sellers were not out by the time of our walk-through. In fact they had just started moving out and even though their agent told them to please leave the home for 10 minutes when we did our walk-through, they refused. The sellers were rude to me when I showed up, so at first my buyers did not want to go in, they finally did and once they started talking with … (1 comments)

jefferson county missouri: Emotions Can Cause Hard Feeling Between Buyers & Sellers - 03/08/07 12:48 PM
First I would like to thank everyone who has been reading my blog. I am 100% new to this and I have not even read very many blog posts before. I had been reading for the last couple of years that as a real estate agent you should you a blog. I have always liked the idea of sharing my experiences on deals and market trends in the Jefferson County Missouri area. Now one of my major setbacks is that I am a terrible speller. I was also concerned about having something to talk about every day. Now I am not able … (23 comments)

jefferson county missouri: New Security Form Due to Assault on Realtor - 03/07/07 03:31 PM
Here in the St. Louis Area I am sure most of you have heard about the assault on one of our Coldwell Banker Gundaker Agents. On March 4th 2007 an agent from one of our offices had a gun pulled on her in a home she was showing. She was handcuffed to a post in the basement while all of her money, credit cards, wedding ring, cell phone, etc. were taken from her.
Our company has now created a form called the "Prospect Identification Form". This form is to be filled out by all new clients. The form requests Name, Address, Home and Business phone … (1 comments)

jefferson county missouri: Problems with a Home Purchase - 03/06/07 02:02 PM
I just had a situation come up on a deal that I was working and I thought I would share it in the hopes it would help someone else out. I represent the buyers who first tried to by my own listing and then we moved on to another home in the same area.
We wrote a contract on a home and specified that the buyers would be using an FHA loan. The seller counter offered and eventually we came to an agreement on price. We setup a quick closing and everything was going way to smooth.
Then we hit a bump, a … (0 comments)

jefferson county missouri: Septic Inspections - 03/01/07 06:09 PM
Septic Inspections are a very important part of the real estate deals in Jefferson County. Do to all of the changes in Codes over the last year it is rare for a home to pass their inspection and the repairs normally range from 6 to 15 thousand dollars. This unexpected expense is usually a deal killer. I tell all of my sellers up front that their system will probably fail but they always think that their home will be the exception.
I had two deals fall apart last year over these inspections, the sellers accepted an offer for as low as they … (1 comments)

jefferson county missouri: Why Are There Part Time Real Estate Agents? - 02/27/07 12:00 PM
Do you see many part time lawyers? part time doctors? part time stock brokers? The answer should be NO. Yet in the real estate profession, where people make the largest monetary transactions of their life, they use an agent who drives a school bus during the day and only sells real estate at night. Now there is nothing wrong wiht driving a school bus, but being a real estate agent takes extensive knowledge in so many different things: Marketing, Sales, Municiple Codes, Fire Codes, Technology, Negotiation, Financing, Staging, and so much more.
I just do not understand why people hoping to sell … (1 comments)

jefferson county missouri: The Market is Picking Up - 02/27/07 11:17 AM
Spring will be here soon and I have already seen a huge increase in the homes sold. I have sold four of my listings already this year and have had more showings and calls than normal for this time of year. I think that the slow fall with very few people buying and selling has lead to a better than usual start to the new year.
Another growing trend is the number of foreclosures that have been going on the market. I hate to see this but I feel that it was caused by all of the 100% loan that were … (0 comments)
