buyer: Losing the House - 01/28/07 07:02 PM
There are many real estate training programs out there. Most, if not all, of them have a dialogue for encouraging offers that goes something like this:
"The house you're looking at today and want to think about tonight, is the house someone else saw yesterday and thought about last night, and … (8 comments)

buyer: Leave My Buyer ALONE! - 01/15/07 02:13 PM
So can someone tell me when, precisely, it became okay for a listing agent to try and cut me out of a deal? I know, it happens all the time, but it ROYALLY ticks me off.
My buyer, by the way, is a repeat client of mine and is very loyal … (48 comments)

buyer: You MIGHT Want to Return Suspect Phone Calls. - 01/13/07 01:31 PM
Case in point.
I had a call on Wednesday from a lady who got my number off my car, driving down the road.
Turns out she was trying to get information on a few different parcels of land that she'd located on another company's website, but she wasn't getting any return calls! … (6 comments)

buyer: Memo to Buyers - 01/07/07 07:36 PM
So you've selected an agent. Picked out your area of town. And are ready to get out there and see some houses! So your agent recommends that you talk with a lender first to get pre-approved.
No big deal, a few glitches here and there on your credit, but you're definitely … (6 comments)

buyer: What you get for the money, in Charlotte NC - 12/20/06 09:15 AM
I love that show, on Fine Living, it's pretty fascinating to see how different the inventory is from area to area in the same price break.
But even though this show seems to help somewhat in adjusting expectations for some people (at least I hope it does), there are a lot … (3 comments)

buyer: Um....Why Does a Neighbor's Opinion Count When You Ignore Me? - 12/02/06 08:48 PM
I'm just curious here, Mr/Mrs Buyer... (or Seller, the last names are interchangable)
You've been here in Charlotte twice now to find a suitable home to purchase or land on which to build that dream house...we've made a lot of progress in getting you educated on the area- on land prices- on … (3 comments)

buyer: How do YOU select an agent? - 10/30/06 09:10 AM
Just a couple of observations from prospects that I met in my office on Friday.I will note that it was a rainy, nasty, cold day and I was the only agent in the office (outside of my business partner, my dad, fellow broker/owner).Around lunchtime, a couple came in the office looking … (2 comments)

buyer: Another CORRUPT Lender is Sentenced! - 10/30/06 08:24 AM
And if I knew how to highlight another blog, I'd grab the one that Ken Cook posted about the fact that the corrupt lenders ought to be named and not just the industry as a whole!

This is the article, posted in the Charlotte Observer on Saturday 10/28. I know that … (3 comments)

buyer: Mr Buyer? Please don't blame the bank! - 10/25/06 08:31 PM
Mr/Ms Buyer...we all run into rough stretches in life, and sometimes our credit scores tell the tale.And you've worked hard over the past two years to get past your troubles and rebuild your credit and it's doing much better (it's almost at 600 now).But you don't have a down payment saved … (1 comments)

buyer: Do you REALLY need a buyer's agent when you are building? - 10/15/06 07:02 PM
YES! There is a lot of information floating around on the internet questioning why in the world you would want a buyer's agent to get paid when you build a home, since we don't DO anything for you in the process.
Point 1. You are paying the same price either way (at … (1 comments)

buyer: Should you use the builder's in-house lender? - 10/15/06 06:53 PM
About half of all transactions that closed in our metro market last year were new construction. My client base is no different, I've represented buyers with just about every reputable builder (and if you don't know who in your market is reputable, that's precisely why you DO need representation in new … (1 comments)

buyer: DUAL PRICING BUILDER - 09/26/06 07:33 PM
For anyone with MATTAMY HOMES in your market. Beware. They have always been very vocal about supporting the Realtor community, and wanting to be partners. Well, I just lost a buyer to an unsavory onsite agent who offered a bonus incentive if they would sign the contract without my representation. My … (2 comments)
