bremerton sellers: Bremerton | Good Time To Sell Your Home? - 02/09/09 09:33 PM

bremerton sellers: 24 Hour Market Watch - 05/20/08 07:31 PM
I always find this very interesting when I log on to the NWMLS web site every morning. These figures will change throughout the day and be of benefit to someone. I just haven't figured out how I can use this information. 
 

 
Yes, those of us real estate professionals in the State of Washington have our finger on the pulse of the industry for sure! There are more ways to look at data than ever before.  Numbers, numbers, numbers!  Hey look - 68 homes haven't sold so there have been price increases! Now there is a blog I am going … (7 comments)

bremerton sellers: Old Fashioned Service with the Technology of Today! - 03/24/08 03:03 PM
 
   
Are you aware of the advanced marketing trends of the new technology age of Real Estate?  As a member of the Baby Boomer Generation (1943-1964) I have lived a life of change. We are after all the generation that started it all! Boomers are associated with expressing individual freedom, the civil rights movement, gay rights, handicapped rights, right to privacy and the important feminist cause of the 1970's.  I don't call that slacking and I don't call it out of the loop.  Those movements taught us how change was good, how it could improve our lives and how it would lead to great things.  … (4 comments)

Many buyers have started their search on the internet and have seen the pictures of your home prior to actually visiting in person.  What you want to do in your photos online is have some "teaser" pictures so there is an urge for a prospective buyer to get in their car and get to your home.

bremerton sellers: Bremerton | Homeowners | Did your Home end up in the DUMP? - 01/12/08 07:52 PM
 - Expired Dump?
 
I was doing some market research today and decided to really look and look hard at expired listings in my market area. I know the blah; blah; blah...if it isn't priced right it won't sell. I started to look at homes and really thought the price was right or in a range that with a little negotiation there would or should have been a buyer. So why didn't some of these homes sale. I will tell you - BECAUSE THEIR AGENTS WERE LAZY!!! Now, that might sound strong and maybe not sound professional but it is the … (9 comments)

I lost  my crystal ball!! No, really I did!!! I have been looking for it all over! I look several times a day. In fact I look for it every time my phone rings.    
A client will call with those "real estate questions", you know the ones. "When will it be a Seller's market again?", "Are interest rates going to go down?", "If I buy now can I still sell without having to  wait years and years and still make a profit?"  Every time I hear these questions I politely ask If I can put them on hold explaining that I … (15 comments)

bremerton sellers: Bremerton WA Real Estate | Baby, It's Cold Outside - 01/02/08 06:55 PM

As I am sure we all suspected when Puget Sound Energy released its "merge" information - Puget Energy Signs Merger Agreement with Consortium of North American Infrastructure Investors it wouldn't be too long before we would see a request for a rate increase.  We were all right! Puget Sound Energy in a press release December 3rd has started the process for an increase.  Infrastructure investments, higher costs prompt Puget Sound Energy to request general rate increase for late 2008.
This could result in an average increase of approximately 9.5% for electric and 5.3 for gas.  With this kind of information you better … (6 comments)

bremerton sellers: Be Green - Treecycle - 12/27/07 04:00 PM
Bremerton residents have the opportunity to Treecycle their Christmas tree until January, 15, 2008.  Just make sure you remove all the ornaments, tinsel and lights before taking it to the recycling drop area.  If your tree has been flocked or you have sprayed "snow" on it you will not be able to recycle because the chemicals used in flocking can be harmful to the environment.  
If you would like to receive the wood chips from the recycled trees you can visit the Kitsap County web site for directions. Kitsap County Treecycle Program.

bremerton sellers: Bremerton WA Homeowners | What do you know about your Homeowner's Policy? - 12/22/07 10:15 PM
 
How many times have you shopped around for homeowners insurance?  This seems to be an item that is left to the last minute and then rushed.  I am sure several new homeowners have just gone with who the lender or escrow agent has recommended because it was quick and easy. Did they get the best deal? Who knows?  I am sure that no one did much research on their behalf. 
Have you ever compared rates and coverage on any of your home purchases? Have you ever changed insurance carriers after you have closed?  You pay hundreds of dollars a year … (3 comments)
