In every event there is a winner and a looser.  There are those that are happy and those who are sad.  I hope today which is a new day in America, we can be proud of the process of picking our new president, and appreciate the significance in where we are.  … (0 comments)

realtors: Should I buy now and why? again? - 05/28/08 11:47 PM
We visted this issue a few months back.  Why should I buy when the market will probably go lower?  Well we first need to examine, why you are buying.  If you are purchasing to find a home to live in and plan on staying in the property the next 5 years … (5 comments)

realtors: Now its a skill base market! - 01/10/08 02:01 PM
It is amazing, just a few months ago I remember sitting in on a conversation with lender and realtor discussing (bragging) about all these direct strategies they use to CLOSE buyers into deals, and all these techniques, blah blah blah blah.  I asked them both how long they have been business.  … (2 comments)

realtors: buying during the holidays - 12/28/07 12:24 PM
I want to get this out to people.  HOMES SELL DURING THE HOLIDAYS AND FIRST OF THE NEW YEAR!  SOME AGENTS TAKE OFF, but people BUY AND SELL.  Buyers this is a great time to get yourself a GOOD DEAL!  There is not as much activity in the way of traffic, … (3 comments)

realtors: I only want a foreclosure! - 10/10/07 06:43 PM
How many times in this market have we heard this?  Consumers ask yourself this question:  Are you looking for a foreclosure or are you looking for a good deal?  It appears everyone thinks of the word Foreclosure and assumes it is a good deal or THE ONLY DEAL in town.  That … (20 comments)

realtors: Am I really better off waiting to buy a home? - 07/28/07 08:35 PM
I often get the comment from potential and past clients on whether or not they should purchase in the current enviroment.  My reply is it depends on why you are purchasing.  As the market has continued to rise I have plenty of clients that either stayed on the sidelines or were … (0 comments)

realtors: Service, Service, Service - 05/31/07 12:31 AM
What is service to a buyer or seller?  I was taught originally you make friends with your prospects, treat them like family, hold their hand, never really become too aggressive.  Then I went to a different seminar.  It was explained to me I was in the business of selling homes, and … (4 comments)

realtors: Should I use Scripts and Dialogs? Why should I practice them? - 03/27/07 01:53 AM
I have heard alot of newer agents (some seasoned too) tell me they feel uncomfortable using scripts.  It is not natural and they feel the public realizes they are phoney and will not trust them.  I say the opposite.  Do you think tiger woods or michael jordan ever practiced that big … (0 comments)
