Nebraska Weather - 06/24/10 10:11 AM
As Bono from U2 would say "It's a beautiful day".  So go out there and enjoy yourselves while you can because the weather will not hold out for much longer.  We all know why ti rains so much here in June.  It's because the college world series is playing.  Have fun at the ball park.

Home Buyer tax credit - 06/18/10 03:39 PM
Here is some information that was sent ot me via email from the Nebraska Realtors Association about the extension of the closing date for the home buyer tax credit.
This is the very latest from NAR regarding Carried Interest, Flood Insurance, and extension of the closing date for the home buyer tax credit:
Good Afternoon and TGIF everyone.  Its been a very busy week in DC but the picture on "extenders" is no clearer.   Last night, for the third time this week, the Senate failed to get the required 60 votes to end debate on the latest version of the … (1 comments)

Check that sump pump or you maybe sorry - 06/17/10 10:18 AM
I do not know about you but we have had a lot of rain here in Omaha.  With all this rain my question to you is.  When is the last time you checked your sump pumpto ensure that it is working properly?  This only takes a minute of your time and it could save you a lot of money and grief.  According to code sump pumps must be on a GFIdue to the water and electrical outlet.  If by chance the GFI trips, you will not have power to the pump.  No power to the pump and the sump will fill with … (5 comments)

Relocation Companies - 06/16/10 09:45 AM
WOW! We finally have the relocation home sold.  I am working with a new company called Cartus.  So far they have been a real pain in the you know what.  They jump all over me to get the initial paper work in so that they can get their 40% commission.  Yes I did say 40%.  This is just plain robbery.  Anyway, now that I have an offer, the Cartus representative will not return my call for additional information on how to turn in this offer.  they have to approve all offers on the home.  I am really frustrated with them.  have … (2 comments)

How can I be the best agent for my clients - 06/12/10 05:37 PM
I am just sitting in my office at home working on how I can do better for my clients.  My first thought is how do I better represent them when it comes to getting their home sold.  I work for the #1 real estate company in the world RE/MAX.  This defiantly puts me ahead when I go out to view their home and they ask the question as to who supports me and how much advertising my company and I do to get their home sold.  I am always going to seminars on the latest market trends, tools and what new technology is coming available … (0 comments)

Just Another Amusing Day in the Life of a Sacramento Short Sale Agent - 06/11/10 10:23 AM
Some clients still think that they make the market rules.  This is not true.  Then they fix the blame on the agent when the house does not sell.
Via Elizabeth Weintraub, Sacramento Short Sale Agent, Land Park, East Sac 233-6759 (Lyon Real Estate):
An associate asked me yesterday how things were going in my real estate business. With tongue in cheek I laughed, "Well, my real estate horoscope said things would be going my way today, but that doesn't seem to be happening."
I have a seller who can't understand that homes around her, very similar to her home, have dropped in price … (0 comments)

Negotiating a contract - 06/09/10 10:37 AM
Good morning to everyone.  I just wanted to share my experience with you.  I am currently in the negotiating process on a home that I have listed.  The home is around $365,000 which is on the mid to upper range of homes around here.  My seller has a relocation package and that is where the issue is begins.  We have an offer on the table and we are $1400 apart.  My buy tells me that he can get about that same if he waits for the relocation company to buy his home.  The other side will not accept anything other then … (3 comments)

Open Houses - 06/06/10 08:00 PM
Hello out there.  I just wanted to say that a lot of real estate agents do not like doing open houses.  I myself love them.  Why you may ask?  Well it is all the great people I get to meet.  Some maybe looking for a home right away while others are looking to buy or sell in the next year.  I inform them that I will keep them up to date as what the market is doing so that when they decide to purchase or sell a home, they will be up to date so that they can make an educated decision.  All of my clients love … (2 comments)

Investors in todays market - 06/03/10 09:51 AM
I just had an offer from a buyer I thought.  It turns out to be an investor who had visited my open house. Now I understand that everyone wants a great deal and the seller is only going to get what the market is willing to pay, but 19% off the list price of the home.  Come on now.  I know that it is a buyer's market out but the house has only been on the market for 59 days.  I explained to my client that it is a place to start and hopefully we can meet in the middle but … (4 comments)
