sellers: Does a logo matter much to a seller? - 04/25/08 05:42 PM
Does a logo on a sign really matter?   If so... how much?  
When you are preparing to sell, how much thought is given to what color the "For Sale" sign is?  OR what company it represents?
When you have found an agent you know you can trust to service your needs ... how … (60 comments)

sellers: Are we nuts? - 04/17/08 12:40 PM
I saw a squirrel chasing a nut across the street yesterday, and somehow it struck me as quite ironic.  I've admitted before that I hate squirrels (and yes, hate is a strong word), but I was too amused with the scene to think about putting the pedal to the metal and … (50 comments)

sellers: Your Realtor can Keep you in "hot water" .. or .. - 03/25/08 09:14 PM
.....Why your Realtor is valuable -- even if you are a PAST client! 
 
I had a past client (first time buyer) send me a text message the other day that went something like this:
Client:  It looks like it's time for me to call that Home Warranty -- I can't … (12 comments)

sellers: Lancaster Real Estate -- Sellers, take a leap and jump off that fence! - 03/19/08 10:12 PM
 
I swear, I am not lying when I tell you that there are currently no homes listed for sale that meet your requirements.    Perhaps your requirements for your new home are too stringent?  I doubt it, as we all have certain needs and we know what is important to us, especially when … (3 comments)

sellers: Lancaster Real Estate -- Playing the game of "seller's assistance" - 03/12/08 05:31 PM
I could have sold a listing today, only the buyer and seller could not see eye to eye regarding "seller's assistance" .  The seller just couldn't believe that the buyer would ask for such a huge amount towards closing costs, and can't justify paying it out of her pocket for someone … (6 comments)

sellers: Lancaster PA Real Estate - The Unravelled Deal - 02/22/08 10:46 AM
A week ago I wrote about a transaction that was just barely Hanging On by a Thread.  The seller had not disclosed certain defects and was hard to get in touch with, let alone act responsible to getting repairs done in a timely manner.  The listing agent was no better!  This transaction was for … (12 comments)

sellers: Sellers and the Domino Effect - 02/16/08 01:08 AM
Lately it seems I just can't get a stress-free transaction!  Friday was no exception to this latest streak of (bad) luck that I've been having.  Although quick -- we put the offer in last Friday and closed in a week! -- the seller decides at the last minute that she can't get … (6 comments)

sellers: Lancaster Real Estate - How do you sell a memory of a lifetime? - 02/01/08 11:12 AM
How much love can someone have for their home?  Is it just something to be considered as 'shelter'?  Or do we wrap our lives and memories around these four walls and a rooftop we call "home"?  How do we take that with us when we sell our home?
I took part … (2 comments)

sellers: Lancaster Real Estate -- Our Outlook for 2008, and Thank You! - 01/02/08 01:14 PM
Dear Clients and Friends,  
As the new year begins, I am enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead for Lancaster Real Estate and The Bob Wells Realty Group.  As you have undoubtedly heard, the national media has been repeating stories about a declining real estate market.

sellers: Have You Hugged a Co-Broke Agent Today? - 12/16/07 09:53 PM
T'was the night before closing on this Lancaster home for sale, when something out of the ordinary happened. 
Now, I'm not sure how everyone else handles their settlements and walk-throughs, but most of mine are pretty run of the mill as far as settlements go.  Sure, they can be exciting ~ … (6 comments)

sellers: How to Break a Buyer's Heart (and waste my time in the process) - 12/09/07 10:19 PM
If your listing is "under agreement" -- do you continue showings for "back-up offers"? 
If so, do you disclose that little tidbit of information ahead of time to a Realtor who is setting up a showing for your listing?
Saturday was spent with buyer clients of mine, who drove from … (30 comments)

sellers: Are you a Fountain or a Drain? - 12/03/07 09:04 PM
Are you the Fountain, or the Drain? 
When your clients are looking for knowledge and information about the real estate market, are you the one who is quenching their thirst?  When they are looking for guidance in a real estate transaction, are you the one teaching them about cause and effect?  Are … (10 comments)

sellers: Homes in Lancaster PA -- Real Estate in Lancaster County -- Happy Seller Testimonial! - 11/09/07 07:25 AM
I wanted to share a copy of this recent email I received from a SELLER of one of my recent LISTINGS which SOLD and settled in late October.  I had emailed her, asking how the settlement went on their NEW purchase, out of the area.  This is my SELLER'S response:  
I apologize for not responding … (6 comments)

sellers: Happily Ever.... NEVER!!! - 05/17/07 12:20 AM
I need to vent a bit!
I went on a listing appointment from a call I received a few days ago from one of the homeowners of a property.  Her co-owner is her now ex-boyfriend.  They bought the land together, built a house together, and thoughts of happily ever after are … (51 comments)

sellers: Homes in Lancaster PA -- Lancaster County Real Estate -- Picking up the pieces of an Expired Listing - 05/03/07 09:32 PM
I spoke with a 'soon to be expired listing' homeowner today, who is just about done giving his Realtor second chances and done extending the listing contract.  He's ready to list with someone else who can get the job done.  Hopefully, I'll get the job - as he's interviewing with a few … (7 comments)
