 Take a look at  gourmet kitchens in Baltimore.
 
They are all beautiful.
They all have the latest appliances.
They all could be perfect for the serious cook.
   
What else do they have in common?
 
 
All three have islands.
All three are architect designed.
All three have unique ceilings. 
All three are HomeRome listings.

homerome: Sharing A Buyer's Letter - 09/28/16 08:56 AM
 
 
Recently I shared the letter my seller wrote to her beloved house.
And this past Monday evening  we had a family who toured the home on Bonita Ave.
 
 
The agent was very professional and the family seemed to be a good fit for this property,
I emailed the seller letter  to the buyer's agent and it was shared with the buyer.
Two days later we were in negotiations. And along with the buyer's offer, ...you guessed it, a letter to the seller.
 
With permission, I am sharing it with you.
 
 
 
 
 We are under contract and looking forward to a smooth settlement.
 Do you have any real … (16 comments)

homerome: Instant Gratification The Morning After - 09/25/16 12:48 AM
 
And I thrive on instant gratification from ActiveRain.
 
 
Night time is when I write my daily blog posts.
There is even a group called Late night early morning.  
In the mornings when I log in...it is like Christmas.
I see all these responses, comments and answers to whatever I talked about 6-8 hours earlier.
 
For me it is a good way to close my busy day and a good way to start again. 
My posts can be a question about posting a photo, sharing one of my new listings, a topic for my radio show or an impromptu open house.
I don't wait for SEO or click count or number … (15 comments)

homerome: It's Even Easier Using This ActiveRain Tip - 09/24/16 07:06 AM
 
 
Saw a post by Praful Thakkar, who always shares and gives good  advice. He pointed out to look at the bottom of the AR pages to find familiar links.
 
 You can also get to some of these links by placing your cursor on the the tiny ∨ which changes to ∧  next to your photo .
See the red arrow in the upper right hand corner.
Take a look at the pull down menu.   You can find My Home Page, Drafts and Following.  These are links I use most often.
 
 
What tips or short cuts  have  you found?

homerome: Just Give Them The Information - 09/22/16 08:54 AM
 
This week I spent some time on the phone with a potential client. The initial contact started via email asking questions about some of my properties. Whatever the question...I just gave answers.
I did not ask or expect this person to give me any information.   There were a few more emails, a few more questions and a few more answers.
 
 
And then I received a phone call from this same potential buyer. Again asking a few follow up questions and reminding me that we had been in touch through email.
Again I gave answers and discussed the properties. This potential buyer opened up … (27 comments)

homerome: They Gave Up Kitty Kitty - 09/18/16 12:10 PM
 
A few years ago I was working with classic clients, both in their ninth decade. They had been living on a small farm in an old two story house. Due to age and health issues, it was time for them to move.
A condo was chosen and they proceeded forward.
 
While at their home, signing the paper work, I noticed their beautiful cat.
Kitty Kitty, as they called her, was everywhere. We sat down at the table  and Kitty Kitty was gently nudging the seller and there was continuous contact.  It was a love affair.
 
 
But uh oh...the condo they were purchasing had a  No Pet  policy which … (21 comments)

homerome: This Baltimore Home Is Minutes To The New Wegmans - 09/16/16 03:39 PM
 
Now this is the kind of home I love to sell.
It is contemporary, it is unique, it is well thought out, it has the master on the first floor, a gourmet kitchen with silestone counters and a walk in pantry.
The nine foot ceilings are wood with beams. The floors are hardwood and it is sitting on a wooded two acre lot in Greenspring Valley. The home is better than brand new...only thing not new is the 43 year old foundation.

homerome: Talk As Though You Were Recorded All The Time. - 09/15/16 12:15 PM
Advice to share with others  entering our business.
 
 
Whenever talking  real estate, it's not a bad idea to be a bit paranoid. 
Property owners have cameras and listening devices in their homes. 
 
When talking on the phone or leaving a message, speak as though your buyers, your sellers, other agents, the media, your broker or the Real Estate Commission were listening.
 
Conversations overheard at a restaurant, in an office setting,  shopping or at a coffee shop can be a disaster to your business.
 
 The next time you are out having coffee with a friend, client or colleague, think about what you say, how you say it and … (10 comments)

homerome: An ActiveRain Invitation Is A Gift - 09/13/16 11:43 AM
 
 
Yesterday I gave a gift to a friend.
The gift was an ActiveRain invitation.
This is nothing new...I have been inviting people, I care about, for the past 10 years.
To me this invitation is a gift just not wrapped as one.
 
 
 
Over the years, I have invited countless people to join...many have...most have not. Of the ones who joined there is not a handful that have become bloggers.
Tonight, I noticed my friend signed up, linked to his website, added his profile and his photo.

homerome: Blogging Tip...Use A Photo - 09/11/16 11:44 AM
 
Many of us write a blog each day.
But there are occasions we run out of time, get too busy, have family/ social obligations...maybe even have a life.
For these times a photo might be just enough for your daily posting. 
 
Always keep a camera handy...no longer a problem as long as you have a phone. No more excuses..like...I forgot my camera.
Here's the hardest part. Remember to use it often during the day!
 
 
 When you reach those days that a blog might be too time consuming...just take a look at your recent pictures.
Most things that were worthy of your time and camera lens
can be made … (11 comments)
