home sales: Homeowners: Do You Know Your Home’s Value?
- 09/15/17 08:46 AM
Homeowners: Do You Know Your Home’s Value? Checking your Zillow valuation, or thinking your towns assessment gives you a real number, you are sadly wrong. I had this conversation with a long time friend of mine from college last night. He is selling the home he grew up in, the home his grandfather and father built and lovingly maintained. Like many people in their 60's they are not getting the buy in from their children who don't want to live in the family homestead anymore. Zillow is inaccurate at best, and this is not Zillow's fault, other than not telling the … (2 comments)
home sales: For sale by owners (FSBO) need to know the process
- 05/23/14 12:26 AM
For sale by owners (FSBO) need to know the process of selling their house for the most money in the quickest period of time. Sadly most FSBO people have bought and sold homes before and so they feel as though the understand the process. They had an agent who put a sign in their yard, loaded it up to the MLS and had an open house, easy right? Well, yes that is easy if that is the way it worked in all kinds of markets. It does not. In particular it is not working in today’s market, and by today’s market … (33 comments)
home sales: Ebbs and Flows...and so it goes
- 08/28/12 10:05 PM
Coming up on the end of my second year in this business I have taken this morning to look back. I remember so clearly sitting in the license testing room with maybe 23 other people and thinking this is going to be fun. Well, fun it has been along with agonizing, frustrating, exhilarating and exhausting. On balance, I am loving it. All my life I have worked to be a team member, a team leader by example and a friend and colleague to anyone who was in need. I am told by my broker and the several broker's recruiting me that … (12 comments)
home sales: Catching the wave, getting off your duff.
- 10/04/11 04:53 AM
October is such a great month for real estate. The spring market has had it's closings and the winter months approach. Before the snow blankets us here in the northeast we will be drenched in the fall colors of red, orange, yellow and gold. It is open house month, I am told, but what I know is that with the kids back in school and the weather turing cooler it is easier to get out there and look for a home. I was surprised to see that December is the second largest closing month of the year because I have been … (7 comments)
home sales: Getting into the Groove
- 01/20/11 12:18 AM
Besides the fact our work as a real estate consultant is filled with pitfalls and hurdles, most of us love it. That is we love most of it, I have yet to meet anyone who loves the prospecting part. Everyone loves the result of prospecting, but does anyone like the grind? It is a process; it is work. I think of a blog that Seth Godin wrote about work where he said that a professional is someone who goes to work when they don’t want to and does the job they have chosen, or are assigned to. Here are some other … (5 comments)
home sales: June 2010 Trends and Values
- 07/19/10 02:58 AM
Making Sense of Trends The Interest rates are at a record low. Housing prices are low and occasionally teetering on lower. Foreclosures have not gone away and won’t for the next couple of cycles. There seems to be no clear indication of anything, or said a different way, there seems to be a case that can be made for any wild interpretation of the trends. Locally here in Texas and even closer in North Texas and the DFW area things are not as bad as they have been in other parts of the country. So what, I say, when you are … (1 comments)
