wildhawk: 31 Days of December challenge - 12/29/10 10:56 AM
 
31 days of December Challenge Day 27
 Monday, December 27, Elliptical – yes.
 
 
 
Hurray For Monday!  I hardly ever say that.  But boy was I ever ready for “REGULAR”
I met with a first time buyer.  We got him pre qualified last week, went looking after lunch, saw 7 and wrote an offer on a bank owned perfect first time buyer home this evening. 
I love that part of my job.
 
We got an offer on the new short sale.  (Not just an offer… an offer that is likely to close! Yeah team) … (2 comments)

31 days of December Challenge Day 10
 
 Friday December  10,  Elliptical – check.
 

 
Today was great and productive. 
 
I took a 2 hour class with Judy Covington.  She has been at real estate a long time and is full of wisdom that only comes from being IN the trenches (with mud boots on and ready for action)  She talked about ways for marketing that I never even thought of.  Also how to handle difficult clients with grace and power.  It was time very well spent. 
Signed a listing agreement with my nice open … (0 comments)

31 days of December Challenge Day 7
Tuesday December 7
Today was great good and productive.  Elliptical – check.
We finally closed the one home that just wouldn’t close.  (This one was like nailing  Jello to a tree) There are about a million ways a deal can run into trouble, and every one guaranteed will have a few issues.  As a rule this is fine, it’s my job to navigate through them.  But THIS one in particular…If it could go wrong, it pretty much did.
 
And now it’s closed.  Everyone is relieved.
 
Happy Ending.

wildhawk: How Does an Agent figure out the Value of a Home? - 11/27/10 02:53 AM
 
How does an agent figure out the value of a home?
 
 

 
We don’t.    The market figures out value.
 
To determine a selling price for your  home,  an  agent will take into consideration all information humanly possible: 
What else that is comparable (like kind and quality)  has sold, how quickly, and for how much.  What else that is comparable (like kind and quality) is for sale right now,  how long has it been for sale, and for how much.
 
(Fancy term: market analysis)
 
Then add to the market analysis:  does it have … (15 comments)

wildhawk: Are you ready for a Wilton Short Sale? - 11/27/10 01:45 AM
 
Are you ready for a Wilton Short Sale?
 
Of course you're not.    Who really is.  I get it. You didn't know values would drop so dramatically (and over night).  You didn't plan on... (fill in the blank),  job loss, divorce, health issues etc.  No one signs up for the big hurdles that sometimes fall in our path.  
Sometimes though, the worst spots in our lives turn out to be the biggest blessings.  They can be a chance to find a better path. If life has brought you to a place where you are considering a short sale in … (0 comments)

Waterman Road Closures
 

 
Beginning December 6, work on Grant Line Road for the Waterman realignment Project will start.
 
Luckily it will only be closed at night from 8:00pm until 5:00am.  But of course there will be delays and all the expected we-are-making-progress- upheaval.
 
It is suppose to improve traffic and safety (YEAH!)  We are going to have a traffic Light.  (NO, Really!) and they are eliminating that irritating skew in the road so it will be a straight shot.
 
Night work is scheduled from December 6 through December 21.  Subject to weather or other … (0 comments)

wildhawk: Just say NO to Active Rain - 10/03/09 09:52 AM
Just Say NO to active Rain Newbies, Just say no to active rain.  It is too late for me,  but maybe you should go back while you still can.  Example:   This is my small child putting desitin all over the dog,  while his mother was on active rain.  They were only two feet away from me, but I wasn’t aware of  anything  until I smelled that minty fresh smell. (Apparently desitin works to take you out of an AR coma)
If you do not heed my warning here are some things you need to know:  You will gain knowledge here … (80 comments)
