Staging A Home For Sale - 10/29/08 05:28 PM
First impressions are extremely important. From the moment the prospective buyer pulls up in front of your home, you want to put your best foot forward. You want the buyer to immediately feel that this could be "home". The process of preparing your home for sale is generally referred to as "staging", and involves polishing up the exterior and interior of the home.
Have you ever seen "Designed to Sell" on HGTV? If not, try to catch it sometime. In each episode, some poor seller is told their home is a nightmare, and a designer is given $2000 to ready it … (1 comments)

Steps to Improve Your Credit Score - 10/27/08 09:10 AM
Lenders analyze your credit score to determine whether or not to approve a home mortage.
Before lending you money, creditors want to determine how much of a risk you are-in other words, how likely you are to repay the money they loan you. Credit scores help them do that, and the higher your score, the less risk they feel you'll be.
It's important to note that raising your FICO credit score is a bit like losing weight: It takes time and there is no quick fix. In fact, quick-fix efforts can backfire. The best advice is to manage credit responsibly over … (3 comments)

Home Buying Step 3 - You've found THE home! - 10/26/08 11:50 AM
The first thing we need to do is review "comparables".....comparable homes to your dream home that have sold within the last 6 months or so. We review properties that are in the same basic location, with similar square footage and amenities. We want to determine that the home is appropriately priced before making an offer. My job is to make sure you don't overpay for the property.
Then, we write up the offer. There's a lot more that goes into making an offer than simply price. My years of experience, real estate "know-how" and negotiating skills will help you make the … (1 comments)

Or, I can simply do it the old fashioned way. Based on your criteria, I'll look daily to find homes that seem right for you.
Things to consider:
You've heard the old adage "Location, Location, Location". But this means different things to different people. For some, being across the street from a school is a positive. For others, it's a negative. Think about your … (1 comments)

What To Do With Leads With No Phone Numbers - 10/22/08 09:31 PM
Firstly, I want to thank the many of you who have emailed me and thanked me for my blog entries.
I try to only write things that I feel will help you become either a better real estate agent. The Internet can be a huge money pit if you don't know how to use it properly.
Now to my main point.
I have received this question several times over the past few weeks: "What do I do with all the leads I get that have no phone numbers?"
I figure I should probably set the record straight. Each time I … (7 comments)
