When I started out in this business, I was just as determined to succeed as I am today, but a lot less experienced.  Over time, I have learned the difference between a good listing and a bad listing.  Truth be told, the bad listings were bad because I didn't price them right, and on occasion, I m...

Good day!  I just got done reading the following article.  This is a prime example of how the media accentuates the negative. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Daily Real Estate News  |  June 27, 2011  |   Tight Credit Continues ...

Today was a first for me.  I had the opportunity to take out a very pleasant couple to look for rental house.  They currently own two homes in Florida and are renting both.  They also own a home in Chicago that is currently occupied by their son.  In order to move to Cary or Raleigh at the end of...

Good day!  Another day, another prospect.  This one was chuck full.  So much so, that I have had to write yesterday's blog today.  It went something like this: 8:00am - 9:00am  -  Chamber of Commerce Meeting 9:15am - 11:45am  -  Office work, putting the final touches on a listing presentation 12:...

The beat goes on.  I received a call late yesterday from an expired listing that I had sent several letters of correspondence to over the past few weeks.  Unfortunately, the last agent horribly overpriced the home and this very nice family sat without an offer for the last 181 days.  I am meeting...
