virginia: What buyers should take with them when shopping for a home. - 09/04/10 12:54 PM
My clients always ask me what they should carry with them, when showing homes with me in the Greater Richmond Virginia Area. So I decided to make a list and post it on my blog. The key is to not take a bunch of things that you don't need. You need to keep your hands free and to be light on your feet. It can be quite exhausting viewing homes. The excitement alone can make you tired, so remember to pack light, but to bring these essential items along when looking for your dream home: Pen and Paper, … (3 comments)

virginia: Asking for a testimonial should be at the front of your business. - 07/16/10 05:25 PM
Asking for testimonials. I recently sold a condominium in my area, in less than 14 days on the market at 95% of the list price. The transaction was a bit of bumpy one and I feel that only a seasoned agent would have known what to do. With out going into details, there were inspection problems, HOA problems, loan problems and even a hick up with the appraisal (non-value issue). The seller and I fought the problems head on, tooth and nail. We managed to wrestle the deal down and close it, with only minor delays. The whole time the … (5 comments)

virginia: Breaking news from NAR, June 29th 2010. House passed the tax credit extension. - 06/29/10 11:44 PM
One more time......again.
The United States House of Representatives has just passed a bill, on the Homebuyer Assistance and Improvement Act of 2010, by a vote of 409-5. This bill will extend the deadline on closings for tax credit eligible purchasers (contracted before April 30th) from June 30 to September 30, 2010. Now the bill will go to the senate and hopefully go as smoothly as the House.
This is good news because $180,000 home owners would loose their $8,000.00 tax credit through no fault of their own. In Virginia, we have close to 4,000 buyers who are … (2 comments)

virginia: Home maintenance items that cost less than 25$ each - 05/26/10 06:43 PM
From my trusted home inspector. Dear Lane The first step in proper home maintenance is to make sure small problems do not turn into big headaches. Below is some valuable information for any homeowner and especially anyone selling a home right now. The following maintenance items can typically be performed by the homeowner for less than $25 each, but will save far more than that down the road. Home maintenance should not be a mystery, and if homeowners follow a simple maintenance checklist on a regular basis, they can keep their home in working order for many years to come.

virginia: Feedback...a love/hate battle with other agents. I got some for you! - 05/25/10 01:41 PM
This is an old topic for Realtors and is as common as the Open House but I just wanted to share a thought on the matter. Nothing new here but a simple reminder! Feedback on your showings...... do you preemptively call all the listings you have shown the next day, before the listing agents have a chance to call and ask you? :) I don't either, but I love it when those agents call me after showing my listing and they have detailed information, good notes, likes/dislikes and opinions on pricing. What I don't like is agents who don't leave any … (76 comments)

virginia: Nibbling... a negotiation tactic. - 05/23/10 12:19 PM
Nibbling is a negotiation tactic by which after an agreement is reached, one party goes back to the other to ask for more. A nibble more, so to speak. This tactic can be used to assure your client that you have obtained the maximum amount of negotiation possible during the transaction. It can be frustrating to the other side of the transaction but is not illegal and provides a great service to your clients. Are you a fierce negotiator for your buyers and sellers?

The Wall Street Journal: Commercial Bank of America's Secret of Success: Real-Estate Banking RE:http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703672104574654802477763302.html?mod=rss_Today%27s_Most_Popular
By ANTON TROIANOVSKI Bank of America Corp.'s shotgun marriage to Merrill Lynch & Co. has produced plenty of ill will, and big profits in real-estate investment banking.
The Charlotte, N.C., bank blew away the competition last year in the business of underwriting stock offerings by commercial real-estate firms. The secret of success: Bank of America leveraged its relationships with real-estate borrowers to generate a flood of investment-banking work, much of it handled by former Merrill bankers who decided to stick around after the securities firm was … (3 comments)

virginia: Heat Pumps, a guide to easy maintenance. - 01/13/10 02:57 PM
I showed a property this past week and the heat pump looked like this:
I then decided to post this guide for people having trouble with their heat pumps, during these harsh winter months. However, if your heat-pump looks like the one in the photo above, you should call an expert in your area immediately. It is not supposed to look like that! Notice the entire area around the pump is not covered in ice/snow either. Please read:
