Written by:Darleen McCullen, REALTOR®, BrokerKeller Williams RealtyPhone: 919.454.8864Email: darleen@darleenmc.com
As a Buyer, what would you do if you purchased a home and later discovered that there was hot water in the toilet?
OR
As a Seller, would you feel that you even would have to disclose this Buyer - because after all, they will probably have a home inspection, right?
Well...
What I'm about to tell you is a TRUE STORY - and the results may surprise you.
I know someone who purchased a property and the first weekend they moved into the home, they found that there was hot water in the toilet. … (91 comments)

seller: Should REALTORS® Take Monetary "Incentives" from Sellers? - 02/18/08 08:40 PM

Should REALTORS® Take Monetary "Incentives" from Sellers?
I really struggle with this one. Today, with the housing market suffering the way it is, many sellers are offering Agent Incentives. I've seen everything from flat screen television to $10,000 in cash to Caribbean cruises.
We work hard, right? And sometimes, we don't see the fruits of our labor (i.e. the sale doesn't close for whatever reason!)

seller: First Time Buyers: Not Using A REALTOR®? You May Wish to Reconsider... - 01/14/08 08:55 PM

I see it all too often when I walk into the model at a new construction site ... Trusting Potential First-time Home Buyers who are not represented by a Buyer's Agent.
Inside my head, I'm screaming, "Run away from the on-site agent. S/he is working for the Builder and NOT you. The on-site agent may/may not be a licensed real estate agent!"
Don't get me wrong - I have nothing against on-site agents - and as a real estate agent, they treat me quite well. However, I, too, was once a First-time Buyer, and back then, … (15 comments)
