homesellers: That's It? That's the Best I'm Going to Get? - 12/04/09 09:18 AM
Believe me...I understand how hard it is when selling your home, to separate your personal attachment, blood, sweat and tears from the analytical, business perspective of the deal. But that's why you hired me. Right? To be the mediator, the therapist, the negotiator, the analyst, etc.
I'm here to tell you that as your professional full-time Realtor who markets homes and gets them SOLD, believe me when I say that the majority of the time, the first offer you get on your home is the best.
Sure you have to clean the home, price it competitively for the market (this one is key) and expose it to the masses, … (3 comments)

ATTENTION HOME SELLERS: TRY THESE TOP 5 NASTY LITTLE HOMEBUYER TURNOFFS.
Ok...you or your Realtor have done a great job marketing your home and the showings are starting to schedule nicely.

homesellers: You've Got Feedback! I Had to do some cow roping for it... - 11/06/09 11:40 AM
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Seller:
Over the last couple of weeks, I've stalked the showing agent and even wrestled them to the ground for feedback and YES...I finally have some comments for you.

"The neighbors dog can see over the privacy fence"
"We wanted a ranch home not a 2-story"
"Love the home, but it showed so well the buyer decided to wait until spring to buy"
Sincerely,
Your Realtor

homesellers: Sell First or Buy First??? When you need to do both... - 03/28/07 04:58 PM
Deciding whether to buy or sell first can be a difficult decision. Both have pros and cons depending on your particular situation. Here are some things to consider when making your next move.
