buyers: Killeen Fort Hood Houses for Sale - Will you buy the right one? - 06/30/10 10:44 AM
There are plenty of Killeen Fort Hood homes for sale at the moment, and I think I may have seen them all this summer!    
Last weekend's buyers and I saw 11 houses for sale in Killeen and Copperas Cove, and seems like all we saw was one home after another with NO landscaping, ankle high weeds, expanses of dead grass yard, and even more homes for sale with untreated wood privacy fencing that is suffering in the hot sun. (And these weren't cheap houses, either!) So who wants to own a house like that????   Any takers?  Not me, and not any buyers I've been working … (6 comments)

buyers: Fort Hood Lenders have Money Available for VA Loans - 10/01/08 05:16 AM
Part of my job is staying informed so I can give advice to my Fort Hood home buyers and sellers.  I owe it to them to be a good source of reliable information.    
For the past two weeks, I've been staying in particularly close touch with local lenders, checking in on movement in interest rates.  I'm also checking on the availability of funds for federally insured loan programs (VA and FHA). 
GOOD NEWS:  The lenders assure me that money is available to lend on VA and FHA loans.  All you have to do is qualify for the loan, as in the past.

buyers: Buyers are looking for Bargains in the Killeen Fort Hood Real Estate Market - 06/11/08 09:40 AM
With the ongoing real estate news being reported by CNN, MSNBC and FOX NEWS about the state of the real estate market, buyers are arriving at Fort Hood with high expectations of getting a real bargain. 
According to the news outlets, there SHOULD be huge numbers of stressed sellers at Fort Hood who will accept any offer you throw at them!   There SHOULD be street after street of foreclosed properties that lenders are letting go for a song!   Builders SHOULD be dumping new construction at a fraction of market value in order to survive! 
Wow, if all that were true, I'd be out investing … (0 comments)

If you are thinking of selling your Fort Hood area home soon, I bet you've been surfing and reading suggestions on staging, decluttering, pricing, and landscaping, right?       
Sounds like WORK!                                                           
Welll.. here's a true story that show just how necessary and effective all your work will be if you take it to heart and properly prepare your Fort Hood real estate to sell.

buyers: The Truth About Negotiations with Sellers of Fort Hood Real Estate - 01/23/08 12:19 PM
A Fort Hood area Buyer Agent called me the other day after we had completed negotiations on one of my listings.  She was feeling a little down, saying she felt like she hadn't represented her clients well in negotiations because they didn't get the seller to give them much in the way of concessions.
I understand exactly what she means.  I've been on the other side, negotiating for my buyers, and come away with less than we wanted.  Sometimes you feel like you went ten rounds in the ring and lost.
Most realtors are "people pleasers" and get into this business because they like … (2 comments)

buyers: Fort Hood Real Estate - It's a Buyers Market - 12/20/07 08:37 AM
YES!  It is a buyer's market!  BUT what exactly does that mean?   We met a young man today who qualified to purchase a $95,000 home with his VA loan benefit, but he wanted to look at $200,000 homes, because "it's a buyer's market and they will come down to the price he needs".   
 Can we talk?    I certainly admire him for his knowledge of the real estate market news that's IN THE NEWS on the TV, in the magazines, and the subject of much agony in certain parts of the country. 
BUT HERE's THE REAL STORY:  Real estate is a local phenomena.  Yes, that's right!   Just … (0 comments)
