sellers: REALTORS® and Mortgage Professionals Working Together: By Lisa Hill Daytona Beach REALTOR® - 08/13/09 08:56 PM
I'm writing this real estate mini-series due to recent comments I've seen on other public forums, where some non-real estate professionals have indicated their belief that there is friction between the professionals who work in the multiple arms of the real estate industry. Needless to say, I've been surprised by what I've found on a couple of real estate web sites. Of course it's human nature for some people to assume the worst about many things... surely there's a scandal around every corner! (NOT!) Well, I guess I'm going to burst some bubbles because in my 15 years of experience selling … (10 comments)

sellers: UPDATE on "How to Handle Lying, Unethical REALTORS®" - 10/01/08 07:44 AM
Many of you who commented on my recent blog post about my dealings with an unethical real estate agent, had many questions which I attempted to answer by editing the post a couple of times, and by adding a few comments as well. (Sorry it's such a mess now.) As I said in that post, there were problems every single day of that transaction. That listing agent was the epitome of what most REALTORS® do not exemplify! That experience just solidified the reason I'm primarily a listing agent! In the 8 years that I've been a full-time REALTOR®, and the 14 … (16 comments)

sellers: No More Buyers Beware. Now it's "Sellers, Be Prepared!" - 09/17/08 03:03 AM
I was recently reading some interesting information about the last seller's market we experienced. The article mentioned a few things I had not previously given much thought. But the one thing that really jumped out at me was the fact that during the fastest and most-drastically peaking seller's market on record, many real estate buyers, upon finding the house they wanted; in their attempt to procure an advantage over other real estate buyers, chose to forego their inspections. They used this as a negotiating point.
Now for those of us who have been in the real estate business a while, we … (6 comments)

sellers: The Relationship Between REALTORS® and their Clients - 03/04/08 11:28 PM
Real estate buyers and sellers, and the agents who help them, this post is for all of you!
I was just reading a post by Lola Audu about some happy real estate buyers of hers who had been approached by a scam artist. Fortunately, the buyers called their trusted real estate agent instead of taking the word of a stranger who was trying to make them believe that their home had liens against it and was going into foreclosure. It’s a shame that these real estate scam attempts are becoming all too common.My reason for writing this post is to … (11 comments)

sellers: The Glamorous Real Estate Life! - 12/17/07 10:27 PM
The glamorous life of a REALTOR®. On come on. You know our lives are glamorous. Let's face it. All we real estate agents do is drive around in our SUVs with our magnetic riders on the sides, or in my case, my stenciled name, cell phone number, brokerage and web site across the back window, and show people houses, then show up for closing. We can't possibly do anything else, right? If we had to actually work, there would be no reason for so many people to resent our choice of career, right?
WRONG! I decided we needed a bit of … (18 comments)

sellers: Update for Daytona Beach Area Real Estate Sales - 10/27/07 07:13 PM
Today I found a new question on my blog post about Real Estate Activity for the area of Daytona Beach Florida. This question was referencing why we're seeing so many expired listings each month in the Daytona Beach Multiple Listing Service (MLS).
To answer the question of why we have so many expired listings, let's look at the ratio of listings vs sales.
Approximately 7,000 listings on the market at any given time.A YTD average of 259 sales per month. Long story short = 2.25 years of inventory. This obviously means we're going to keep seeing a lot of homes expire.
I'd also like … (0 comments)

Last week a posted a blog about my personal real estate brochure. I'm getting a lot of questions, so I thought I'd elaborate a little bit more. This time, I'll address HOW I use my personal real estate brochure, in addition to more about what's in it. (Read the comments in my previous post, in addition to the post itself, to find out more about what's in the brochure)
So here are the ways I use my brochure.

sellers: The long & winding road to a real estate closing - 07/28/07 06:50 PM
Hello Mr. and Ms. Real Estate buyer or seller. So you've decided you want to buy or sell real estate in Florida?
Unless this is your first time buying or selling real estate, you probably think you’re pretty knowledgeable on this topic. But are you? Here’s a little questionnaire on the standard steps involved on the road to almost every real estate closing.
Who is holding the deposit? If a buyer can’t obtain financing, who keeps the deposit? When a buyer makes an offer and provides a pre-qualification letter to the seller, does it give the seller more confidence … (6 comments)
