Where Are Home Buyers Finding Homes For Sale On The Internet? - 02/28/11 01:37 AM
We all know that most home buyers begin their search for homes on the internet - 80 - 90%, depending on which study you read. But where exactly are they looking for homes? Which websites?
Well, every home buyer I have spoken with about the topic this week tells me that they are looking on several different sites. Why? Are they unaware that the aggregator sites are fed by our MLS entries? Do they like one site better than another?

SELLER’S CHECKLIST: WHEN YOUR HOME IS FOR SALE
Please remember that the way you live in the house is good for you and the way you live but not necessarily the way people who will be buying your house will want to live in it. Potential buyers need to see themselves living in the house. Once they can see themselves in the home, they will be motivated to make an offer.
FIVE SENSES: 
The home must look attractive from the outside so that they want to come in. Leaves raked, snow shoveled, flowers on the porch, front door painted, handrails … (5 comments)

Office Max Customer Service - 02/23/11 02:35 PM
As I went up and down the isles of the Office Max store on State Line today, a salesperson came up to me to ask if I was finding everything okay and did I need any help. 'Good' I thought, 'Office Max is finally learning customer service.' Then another salesperson came up with the same inquiry before the first salesperson had disappeared from view!
Five different salespeople accosted me with the same inquiry in less than 20 minutes but when I got to the cash register, I had to stand in line. Raymond, the cashier, then proceeded to address me alternately … (1 comments)

Banks and Foreclosures: How Does It Really Work? - 02/22/11 02:31 AM
Homeowners and agents experience frustration with the 'systems' banks have in place to deal with short sales and foreclosures every day. The question arises 'Why didn't they accept the offer they got when it was a short sale? It was better than what they'll get now." But is it really? Watch this short video by the Indymac Boys to see how banks profit from foreclosures.

Home Showings Are Up in Kansas City - 02/05/11 05:16 PM
Showings normally decline before Thanksgiving, remaining low during the holidays. Then we usually see a surge of activity as Spring hits. This year we saw a big increase in the number of home showings right after Christmas week.
Why? Well, in Kansas City, we get some snow and cold weather so people would rather stay inside and look for homes on the internet than get out in the weather to see homes in person. I think this is probably true of all 4 season climates. People who view homes for sale in Kansas City during snowstorms are deadly serious about buying … (3 comments)
