buying: Selling? What is IN? - 06/12/07 01:01 PM
If you are selling or are thinking of selling here are some things that are "IN" -
Houses that are priced right. - No explanation needed on this.  Pricing is key and everything that is priced right - SELLS!
Savvy Buyers and Sellers.  - Companies like Zillow, Trulia, HotPads, Easy Street, Realtor.com and any other IDX feed website are the IN thing these days.  Buyers and sellers want to be in the "know"  - they don't want to rely on me to give them all the information - they will research and research until they KNOW what xyz sold for and what … (6 comments)

buying: Friends and Real Estate....Mixing could be bad for you! - 03/19/07 03:01 PM
Last year dear friends of mine and my husband decided that they were going to sell their home in Queens and more to Warren County (Lake George) NY.  This was a sad and touchy subject, but our friends felt that this was going to be the best thing for them.  So, my husband and I helped them make their move. 
You have a friend in Real Estate: 
Because I am a full time real estate agent, our friends gave me the task of selling their home.  I would have never thought that there would be any other reason for me selling … (6 comments)

buying: Active Rainers and Inman News.. (Thank you Matt) - 10/30/06 08:44 PM
I just wanted to thank Matt Heaton for pointing this out tonight - I actually did not see it, until he brought it to my attention.  Thank you again!!
Last week I was interviewed by Matt Carter of Inman News. (Subscription may be required).  He asked me a series of questions regarding where I thought the market was going and what to do when "buyers just won't make a move".  I wish I had a crystal ball for buyers and sellers and I wish that I could give all the answers to the questions that have been laying around for months unanswered.  … (13 comments)

buying: "No, we don't issue mortgage commitments........." - 10/16/06 12:21 PM
That is an answer that I got from a mortgage broker.  Right after I got off the phone with his client (the buyer) who was screaming at one of my agents(selling agent) that the closing has not been scheduled - yet...
Ok, just so all are aware I live and work in a State that is Seller Representation.  We have a buyer that is buying one of my listings.  This seller had to sell.  I want to stress HAD TO SELL.  You see she is a divorced single mom that bought this home 18 months ago.  I actually thought that was a great thing … (16 comments)

buying: These are the best of times.... - 09/25/06 10:38 AM
I was doing an open house this weekend and a buyer/seller was picking my brain.  She was asking questions like: Should I put my house up for sale now or in the spring?  NOW.  You should almost run to put your home up for sale.  I think that the winter is one of the better times to sell.  People that are SERIOUS buyers come out in rain, shine or snow AND FOOTBALL SEASON.  I think that showing homes during the holidays makes a warm and fuzzy feeling for the buyers trying to imagine thier family in the home.  I consider Christmas … (8 comments)
