5 Reasons to Work Well With the Other Agent - 06/23/11 11:21 AM
5 Reasons to Work Well With the Other Agent
This afternoon we will close on a property that was supposed to close on Monday of this week. A two day delay is not the end of the world but it's sad that there are bad feelings probably on both sides. This could have been avoided if the Buyers' Agent had just communicated.
Without going into the details of this transaction, my thoughts go to this other agent and my first thought is I hope I never have to do business with them because it wasn't a pleasant experience.

Franklin TN Real Estate  Founders Pointe  2011  Market Report
 

Founders Pointe continues to beat the Middle Tennessee findings of lower sales and lower prices. The following chart shows that inventory is low and the neighborhood market is active. With school just around the corner, more and more families will be anxious to get into the neighborhood before school starts.
The months of inventory in this report do not reflect the 2 active listings that have contingent contracts on them or the 2 pending sales. It is likely that next months report will show even less inventory.

Man bites dog? Homeowners foreclose on Bank of America! - 06/13/11 03:04 PM
 
The news is always bleak when they talk about the foreclosures. I have personally dealt with many homeowners in the months before the process began, hoping to keep them out of the actual foreclosure. Working with the bigger banks can be brutal. They come across so heartless and cold. This is truly poetic Justice! I'm so happy Susan shared this!
