buyers: I just hung up on a buyer. It felt good! - 03/15/11 12:29 PM
I caught the phone on the second ring to find an irritated female voice on the other end of the line."I am calling to get the price on a house you are selling on NW 128th street."Me: " Hang on while I dig out that file. What is your name?""I just need the price." came the curt response.I shrugged off her abrasive attitude and answered,"Uh, OK. That one is listed currently listed at $310,000. Is that in your price range?""I want to see it." She demanded. "Please show it to me at 2:00 today.""Great! I will need some information from you.

buyers: Full Contact Real Estate - Vancouver Washington Real Estate - 05/12/10 06:53 PM
Full Contact Real Estate - Vancouver Washington Real EstateRemember the good ol' days of real estate? Write an offer and get it signed around in a day or two, perform an inspection and get repairs negotiated in a day or two, and then stand by until it is time to close? The times are changing.I have noticed an interesting trend in our real estate market. It seems as though it is a daily fight to keep deals together. I am sure that it is caused by people's perception that we are in a severe buyer's market. Buyers routinely come in

buyers: "They Just Aren't That Into You".....Why Sellers Take Their Time Responding To Offers - 02/04/10 11:00 AM
I found this great post by a realtor friend, Karen, in Mission Viejo, Ca. I am sharing it with you because our Vancouver Washington Real estate market follows the California market like clockwork. If Karen is seeing this in her market, then we will be dealing with the exact same thing before summer. If you are hoping to time the market and buy at it absolute lowest point, we are probably at that point. (Of course we won't know for sure until this time next year!) Via Karen Parsons-Fiddler Broker/Realtor (Great Western Realty Group): Too many buyers....there are just too many.

Quality Control - The Story of Handmade Potato ChipsI just read Set Godin's blog a few weeks back about lemonade stands and it reminded me of something that happened about 15 years ago.I worked at Kodak for a long time and was part of a great team in the Consumer Imaging division. My position with the company demanded that I travel for a large part of the year. The members of our team developed a bit of a reputation for always finding the best food and entertainment in any given city. Often times these places were little "hole in the

buyers: Short Sale Buyers, Be Sure To Hire The Right Agent To Represent You! Vancouver Washington Real Estate - 01/19/10 11:06 PM
"Sure, I do short sales!" Short Sale Buyers, Be Sure To Hire The Right Agent To Represent You! Currently, 32 of my 35 listings are short sales. This wasn't by design. We were some of the first agents to negotiate short sales in our area and I guess we got a good reputation. Lately, I have been noticing a disturbing trend with short sales. Buyers are hanging in with the transaction until the bank counters with a higher price and then they bail out of the deal. Sometimes the counter is astronomically high and other times it is just a

Renters- The time is now!In the history of real estate, the time has never been better for renters to become home owners than it is right now. Why? These reasons quickly come to mind:1. Interest rates are some of the lowest in history. Buyers with good credit can still enjoy rates at less than 6%. When I bought my first home in 1989, I bought my rate down to 12 3/8%!2. Loans are easily attainable. YES, you heard me correctly and I said that loans are easily attainable. Despite what you have been seeing on the news, there are loans that
