buyers: I might just get NASTY. You better prepare your buyers! - 10/01/09 11:58 PM

 
Like the title? Got your attention?  Good!  Of course I am sure most of you here are not the agent I am talking about. I know that the population of our ActiveRain network is more professional than most.  So, what has me riled?
I have always thought myself as being a very ethical agent. I have always worked well with others and I do believe that this is a professional business, but lately I am just not so sure I am going to be taking the side of real estate agents.  I think I am going to take the … (30 comments)

This year I have spent most of my time with buyers. I love buyers! All kinds of buyers! My buyers get the best representation there is! I pride myself on total quality management when it comes to my contracts.  I make sure all time-frames and guidelines are met. I make sure my buyers are educated and informed. I make sure my buyers know their rights. I make sure my buyers know how to play nice.
I am serious about what my contracts say. I expect the seller's agent to feel the same way.  You know I am not talking about all … (21 comments)

buyers: Bremerton Real Estate Market Data 2007 vs 2008 - 01/29/09 08:51 PM
 

Bremerton :  During the year of 2008 there were 794 homes sold in Bremerton with an Average Sales Price of $243,507.  I would rather use Median and for 2008 the Median Sales Price was $229,950.  The Average Market Time was 88 days and the Median Market Time was 63 days. 
Homes sold really close to the list price during 2008.  Average list to average sale ratio for these 794 homes was 97.77% while the Median list to sale ratio was 99.98%. It seems that we are pricing property correctly.  So how is that pricing compared to the year 2007?

buyers: FSBO in Reverse ~ The Very Educated Buyer - 11/30/07 04:03 PM
