The funny things Tulsa home Buyers say
When I'm out shopping with Tulsa home buyers, I make notes of their comments as we tour properties - and some of what they say is funny. Notes are kept so that I can better understand what they're looking for, plus I'm able to pass along their comments to the Listing Realtor.
"Icky carpet." "Nice house, but I wouldn't want to live here." "LOVE the brick mailbox!!" "The house across the street is turquoise - wouldn't want to look at that every day!" Of course, I remind my Buyers not to be deterred by … (11 comments)

tulsa realty: Home Buyers: Don’t fall in love with a house and ignore the old roof! - 11/14/09 09:52 AM
Home Buyers: Don’t fall in love with a house and ignore the old roof!
I bought my first home before I became a real estate professional. I was in that home for less than two minutes before I knew it was the perfect home for me.
Because I saw the home in daylight, I never noticed that there was no electricity in the detached garage. My cousin gave me an electric overhead garage door opener as a house-warming gift, which of course couldn’t be installed until I ran electric lines to the garage.
I also didn’t pay attention to the … (10 comments)

tulsa realty: What I love about Tulsa! - 10/18/09 02:57 PM
What I love about Tulsa!
Those who know me well know that I have an amazing husband, love dogs, sell Tulsa real estate, am a great cook and political activist.
You can pretty much be happily married anywhere, cook anywhere, walk dogs anywhere – but, I can’t imagine selling real estate anywhere other than Tulsa. We have the most impressive historical districts in midtown Tulsa and beautiful communities throughout our city and neighboring suburbs.
I’ve lived in four cities – the one in which I was born, one in which I attended high school, one in which I attended college – … (3 comments)

tulsa realty: Negotiating Repairs in Tulsa Oklahoma – compromise and compromise are key - 09/11/09 07:31 PM
Negotiating Repairs in Tulsa Oklahoma – compromise and compromise are key
In the state of Oklahoma, Buyers and Sellers agree to a “repair cap” when negotiating a real estate contract BEFORE inspections are done. I understand from real estate blogging that it’s not done this way in other states, but that’s how we do it here.
The amount agreed to in the real estate contract is the CAP that the Seller agrees to spend on repairs. After inspections, should the required repairs exceed the cap, the Seller has the right to back out of the contract or we re-negotiate which repairs … (5 comments)

tulsa realty: Home Staging to Sell your Home in Tulsa Oklahoma - 08/04/09 09:26 AM
Home Staging to Sell your Home in Tulsa Oklahoma - Following is an article home-stager Susan Atwell shared with me. As a listing Realtor who likes to get in/out, and get the job done, I can't emphasize enough the importance of home-staging. After signing listing paperwork the other day, my Seller told me he hoped for a quick sale because his wife would force him to make his bed every day their home was on the market. Although he was half-way joking with me, the truth is that it IS inconvenient to have your home for sale, and this home-stager explains … (9 comments)

Tulsa Oklahoma A/C Repair - two companies I recommend
Two clients recently had their air conditioning go out and called me for recommendations.
I recommend Rick Davis, owner of Davis Mechanical, 918-691-5583 and Wilson Heat & Air, 918-610-2998. Both clients' AC went out on the weekend (of course), and July is not the time to be with AC in Oklahoma!

tulsa realty: Custom Searches - how they work & why they're better than searching on your own! - 06/23/09 10:07 AM
I can set up a search through MLS to help you look for your dream home. I can search by geographical boundaries, school district, square footage, number of bedrooms, age of home, list price, etc. This sets up a web "portal" for you, and you are notified by e-mail when anything new comes on the market that meets your search criteria. Once you receive the link, you click on it to view the properties that meet your criteria. You can then view photos and virtual tours, and basically preview homes before ever getting in your car. You can rank homes as … (4 comments)
