New Marketing Idea - I Would Love Your Input! - 04/30/07 03:12 PM
I was just reading through this month's (May 2007) issue of Realtor Magazine and on page 49 there is a little snipet under "Cool Tools" that I thought looked really interesting. Basically it is a company that will create a sign rider for you that includes full color pictures of your listing & your logo/photo. It really isn't that exspensive starting at about $25/per sign.
Here is the link to their site.... http://www.photosignriders.com/
So my questions are;
Is anybody out there currentyly using this product or a similar one and if so what are the results/feedback you have gotten on it?
Also, what do … (19 comments)

This should give you all a good laugh as you head into the weekend!
I came across this video on You-Tube and it was just too funny not to pass along. When I saw it I couldn't stop laughing for about an hour. It might hit a little too close to home for some. Enjoy and hopefully you don't have any cross sales with this guy!

It's A Buyer's Market, But Nobody Told The Sellers! - 04/26/07 02:47 PM
So over the last few weeks, I have written 3 offers on three different properties for three different buyers ( I know it's amazing I actually have buyers willing to write contracts!). All three buyers came in under list price, based on Sold & Active Comps. Of the three offers 1 was outright rejected, and the other two were countered several times by both the buyer & seller, but eventually just fell apart. I guess I am just venting because our market has done a complete 180 since last year and it seems that the buyers are the only ones reading … (3 comments)

(SOLD actually means LEASED)
Leased listings are from Jan. 1, 2007 through today April 24, 2007
FYI: not all properties for rent are listed in the MLS, but these numbers should be a good sampling of the current market conditions. Of course some areas rent better than others.

Tips for Finding the Perfect Neighborhood - 04/18/07 04:26 PM
The neighborhood you choose can have a big impact on your lifestyle-safety, available amenities, and convenience all play their part.
1. Make a list of the activities-movies, health club, church-you engage in regularly and stores you visit frequently. See how far you would have to travel from each neighborhood you're considering to engaging in your most common activities.
2. Check out the school district. The Department of Education in your town can probably provide information on test scores, class size, percentage of students who attend college, and special enrichment programs. If you have school-age children, also consider paying a visit to schools in … (0 comments)

8 Steps to Getting Your Finances in Order Before Purchasing a Home - 04/18/07 03:44 PM
1. Develop a family budget. Instead of budgeting what you'd like to spend, use receipts to create a budget for what you actually spent over the last six months. One advantage of this approach is that it factors in unexpected expenses, such as car repairs, illnesses, etc., as well as predictable costs such as rent.
2. Reduce your debt. Generally speaking, lenders look for a total debt load of no more than 36 percent of income. Since this figure includes your mortgage, which typically ranges between 25 percent and 28 percent of income, you need to get the rest of installment debt-car loans, … (4 comments)

Disrespectful Buyer's Agents - 04/17/07 04:33 PM
I am sorry if this sounds like I am just going off, but these things are happening way to often.....
Really almost nothing bothers me more than Buyer's Agents who do the following...
Make an appointment and don't show up. This is a great way to give Realtors a bad name.Show a listing without an appointment.(3 times last month different agents used the lockbox, without calling me first or checking the MLS to find out showing instructions, on one of my listings that was alarm activated. The listing clearly showed the home as occupied, alarm activated and to call lister prior to showing. The last agent … (24 comments)

New Smoke Detectors - 04/16/07 05:28 PM
It is especially interesting to me because we had a smoldering fire in our home last year (no one was hurt) that our builder installed smoke detectors did not detect. We now have both kinds of detectors, but I think it is important that everyone know about it and we should pass the info along to our clients!!!
