I agree with her that
What a seller has learned to walk by and ignore or modifications they have made to make the house fit their lifestyle may be huge red flags for buyers.
I was in a charming older home recently. On the plus side, the seller had renovated the kitchen and main bathroom. We all know that these are expensive … (2 comments)

What Motivates People? The Answer Might Surprise You applies to Houston Heights Buyers 
 
Excellent article originated by Leslie Ebersole, I wanted to pass along to my Heights Houston Buyers and Sellers.
She is exactly right on when she says"For all but the most menial and mechanical of tasks, the old model of thinking that people are primarily motivated by money has been scientifically disproved over and over again. As what we do to be successful real estate agents becomes more sophisticated and more complex, how we are motivated fundamentally changes. Paradoxically, as we become more motivated by autonomy, mastery and … (0 comments)

houston seller info: Some things that are not in the contract, should be done anyway. - 01/28/12 11:29 AM
Some things that are not in the contract, should be done anyway.
Great article about integrity via Coral Gundlach.
The contract also states, and fortunately, this was not removed that seller shall deliver a property "broom clean with trash and debris removed."   
But buyers, especially when paying close to a million dollars for a property, have higher expectations than what the contract provides for.  And I have to say, even though I represent sellers and buyers pretty evenly, I think sellers should do more than is in the contract.
