Communication do you really need it? - 05/31/07 08:25 AM
I ask this question with tongue in cheek. I have been talking with some Realtors's and Title agents as of late. They all have one thing in common when a deal goes South ( Dies or has problems)  We agreed that a lot of deals that cancel or end up having an unsuccessful close of escrow do so because a lack of communication. A call or note could have prevented a lot of cancellations of escrow. I don't know if it is ego or a client,Realtor or agent or even a lender that when something in a deal comes up and … (2 comments)

Do Realtors have a life? - 05/30/07 09:03 AM
 Sometimes we Realtors forget that there is more to this world than selling or buying Real Property. It takes events sometimes to remind us. Not the oooooooops I almost hit a curb while talking on the cell phone, but events that make you look at your life. We all have things we like to do, golf, shop, cook or BBQ ( my favorite as I love to eat)  or hobbies.  My brother passed away a weekish ago.  Dealing with that kind of thing makes you take a look at what you are doing. The hardest part is refocusing on your job and … (7 comments)

Are you looking for horse property what is the difference? - 05/19/07 08:52 AM
 I get  calls from sellers & buyers that want to talk with me about horse properties.  The biggest item of concern has been that they have worked with agents that claim to be knowledgeable in the horse property area. Then they follow that with questions about horse property.  Well I for one feel that just because it is zoned for or has a minimum acreage for horses doesn't mean it is a horse property.  I sold a fantastic couple a horse property a couple of years ago. They had worked with 2 other good agents in the area, however neither agent … (0 comments)

All I can say is WOW - 05/19/07 08:19 AM
Hey I was a little skeptical about this blogging stuff. Yes I have been blogging and even hit the 10000+ point mark.  But what I am now seeing is that I am getting calls from the active rain site. I have received two calls on Friday that are both new listings. Who said blogging doesn't pay.  I can contribute the calls from a couple of things. The blogging has put me up on the search engines.  One of the calls told me they wanted to hire me because they read my blogs and like the way I think.  The other one … (10 comments)

Listing agent suggestions to sellers when home is priced in the market? But no offers.. - 05/01/07 09:15 AM
We all have had homes that don't seem to get any offers no matter what you do. It gets hard to understand sometimes. I have one of those homes.  I just suggested to the sellers that dropping the price may help to promote an offer but dropping the price hasn't really helped so far We have gone from $285,000 to $269,000.  Home is well staged and ready to move in. So we are trying a different approach.
 I suggested that they offer a buyer incentive on the home. $269,000 price with $4,000 from the seller to the buyer for closing/down payment needs.

This industry can have its days. Even funny ones.. - 05/01/07 08:39 AM
So I am out showing some very well to do people property.  Most of the comments from my clients were some of these Realtor's should be into photography. Because the houses looked better in the pictures. I could see she was not enjoying herself. Well trying to lighten things up and I tried some humor. Didn't work. Matter of fact it made her more irritated as the day went on. But you know something always happens on days like these...
Grin,
