Pigs Get Fat, Hogs Get SlaughterThis idiom, as defined by usingenglish.com, is used to express being satisfied with enough, in contrast to be greedy and having it become your undoing. This is a lesson which many sellers and buyers of real estate in Lancaster, PA have had to learn.I have looked back over two deals which have gone south because the seller was … (0 comments)

houston real estate: Lots of Showings But No Offers, applies here in Houston Heights - 03/19/12 08:20 AM
Lots of Showings But No Offers, applies here in Houston Heights
Tom Branch, Broker in Plano Texas gives us excellent advice and he aptly points out in this blog article.
"Show me a home with lots of showings but no offers and I'll argue its simply overpriced or not properly prepared. Lowering the price is one way to overcome this issue but it may not be the only way."

houston real estate: Mr. & Mrs. Seller, I Have Already Reduced My Commission 50%! And You Want More? - 03/10/12 07:36 AM
Excellent information, and I have to agree with Bob Miller's comments below.
We all understand why that's not an accurate perspective, but it's our job. It's not the sellers job to understand how we're paid, what marketing expenses are, how many ways comission is split, and so on.
If someone asks me a question about cutting comission, I take it as a sign that I didn't do my job correctly. I didn't explain the value of my services, the complexity of the transaction, or the number of people that get paid from those funds.
Responding with some gentle education and improvements … (4 comments)
