They've all done it! Ralph Lauren, Martha Stewart, Laura Ashley...and now, LANIA DEMERS presents:
The Ghetto Fabulous Line, (exclusively available through my Colorado Springs Office)! That's right, the old Aspen White and Lyndhurst Castle classic colors aren't selling homes like they used to, so I've come up with this new strategy...

OK, those of you that read my posts know that I love my agents! I wouldn't trade them for any others and I'm sure that they are blessings sent just for me. HOWEVER, last week I asked one of them to please STAY HOME as he described how sick he and … (7 comments)

agent: BULLY AGENTS AND THE CLIENTS THEY REPRESENT - 10/15/07 04:56 PM
Ok...I'm a VERY patient person overall. I have had many years experience in our market and most of the time, I work as a Buyers Agent. I prefer that over being a Seller's Agent because of what I'm experiencing right now. I have a Seller/Buyer who is motivated to sell. Her … (4 comments)

As a Broker/Owner of a small independent brokerage in the Colorado Springs market, I've been taking a long hard look at the dynamics of my brokerage, and more particularly, who is selling and who is not.

Does anyone out there ever feel that there are so many "fellow real estate professionals" who don't seem to do much work at all during a transaction? That the only way you will get to have a smooth and comfortable transaction for your Seller or Buyer is if you pick up … (12 comments)

agent: Circumstances That Could Psychologically Impact or Stigmatize the Property??? - 07/01/07 05:39 PM
TOTALLY UNFAIR TO THE BUYER!!!
This is my "PET PEEVE" for sure! In Colorado...the Listing, Buyer Agency, and Transaction Brokerage contracts all have a clause in them under the section pertaining to "Brokerage Services and Duties", (Which you can see online at the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies), which states, among other … (9 comments)

Recently, in all of my interviewing efforts, I have found that the process of split negotiation has changed a lot from the time I graduated real estate school. I found a place that I wanted to work, asked how much they would give me...it seemed fair, so I signed on.
