Do you do Buyers, Sellers, or Both? - 03/30/08 08:36 PM

I find that year upon year, my business is divided almost 50/50 between acting as a Listing Agent and as a Buyer's Agent. Today I was reminded for some reason that over the years I failed to gain the business of a couple prospective Buyers because I didn't solely work with Buyers.

Is this GREED, or am I way off-base on this one??? - 03/27/08 09:33 PM

I am in the process of putting together a lease with an option to purchase ... VERY likely these folks will purchase the home in less then 6 months. I represent the Seller, the Tenants/Buyers have their own Agent, and I am doing all of the paperwork!
Today, I get an email … (86 comments)

What is the perception of DETROIT in your area? - 03/24/08 12:38 PM

You can imagine how unimpressed all of us in metro-Detroit and elsewhere in Michigan are in the way our City and even State look today given the Mayor's recent felony charges. We have had enough challenges over the years and this surely doesn't help! Detroit has made so many strides in recent years, … (10 comments)

I need to get into shape!! Do you? - 03/23/08 06:39 PM

I have battled extra weight my entire life and it is nothing for me to fluctuate 30+/- pounds in a given year ... gain it, lose it, gain it, lose it. I am always finding excuses to not exercise. Have you ever said aloud, or to yourself, the following?
1. I need … (28 comments)

Agent Photos on Listing Yard Signs ... YAY or NAY?? - 03/19/08 10:37 AM

I try to think out-of-the box as much as possible. Some things I do because that is the way they are expected to be done ... other things I do because no one else is, and/or I find it unique or cool. My business card is not a show-stopper, but I … (21 comments)

Are you selling yourself ... Or just the Broker?? - 03/16/08 07:32 PM

I very often have Agents tell me (or ask me why) they just don't understand why they didn't get a particular Buyer or Seller client ... afterall, they spent 30+ minutes talking about how great the company they work for is, how large the company's presence is, how impressive the company's list-to-sale ratio is and/or … (19 comments)

Foreclosure File - You won't sell it to me, WHY??? - 03/16/08 02:28 PM

I am presently representing a 3-time repeat client who is purchasing an REO property, owned by a very large financial institution. Two things here are important ... the lender that owns the property, and the company that will be writing the loan for the property, are one-in-the-same.
FHA loan, great value for what … (8 comments)

How much of a Lease payment should a Tenant get credit for??? - 03/07/08 10:06 PM

Not so fast...
In my market, the number of leases and prospects interested in leasing have skyrocketed! I have authored and closed more leases in the last 2 years then in my entire career combined.
Many folks are interested in an arrangement where a certain percentage of their monthly payment is applied to an ultimate purchase price should … (6 comments)
