contract: Cary NC Real Estate Adventures: Closing Coordinator Keeps Grateful Agent On Track! - 01/19/08 06:50 PM
Yep, that's right.
Claire Hanes helped me slip out of the transaction strait-jacket.  It helps me be a better agent.
And that is what I owe my clients, continuously improved agency.
I'm a little bit of a control freak, so sometimes it is hard to let go of details.  And I would be pulling my … (4 comments)

contract: Cary NC Real Estate Adventures: I'm ready for a Supra... - 01/18/08 10:21 PM
I have heard folks grumbling about Supras, and expenses, but I think I am ready.
Ignore the combo lockbox that is so old its dial is a stone wheel.
Forget the antique combo lockbox that is full of grime and worn smooth and can hardly be gripped to turn.
I'm talking about the combo lockbox that … (7 comments)

contract: Cary NC Real Estate Adventures: An Epiphany from Connecticut: TeeVee is not for real! - 01/14/08 01:46 PM
Thank you, Hartford Courant for this news flash!
A cutting edge investigative report has gathered evidence that HGTV is not always Realty Reality TV.
Who would have thought it?
Why, I figured that all I had to do was put in air fresheners and bake cookies and people would pull out their checkbooks and preapprovals … (9 comments)

contract: Cary NC Real Estate, How to avoid selling your home: Don't have it inspected before listing! - 12/08/07 10:17 PM
My Buyers had a moment to look around as I play with the combo lockbox. 
They were standing on the front stoop with me and start asking questions like, "What's this?  And this? How about that?"
When you find 4 or 5 inspection defect issues while standing on the stoop, it doesn't help … (10 comments)

contract: Cary, NC Real Estate: My lender referral is for YOUR good. Buyers who use my referred lenders close on their contracts! - 11/14/07 04:28 PM
Again, a Buyer who didn't use my referred mortgage lender called me after the lender let him down.
And the scramble starts, to get the clients in front of someone I know can perform, offer clarity, and get the job done within a short closing window.  I use up a little of my stock of good will … (3 comments)

contract: Cary NC Real Estate, "I would rather part as friends with a thousand people than work with one enemy." - 10/11/07 08:42 PM
Ever lose a Buyer at the client's request?
Ever fight it?  I don't mean working hard to learn what the problem is, and then trying to make it work out.  I mean fighting contentiously to keep the client because you have a contract.
There is sometimes resistance to signing an "Exclusive Right to … (21 comments)

contract: Wake County, NC, Real Estate, Buyers' Market? You still have to be a BUYER to buy a home! - 08/28/07 07:27 AM
Wake County, NC, is blessed with a fairly stable real estate market.  We don't have a huge price bubble, and we don't generally see the trough that some of the country is experiencing.
Folks who want to buy a new home in Wake County aren't seeing the market dynamics incessantly promoted in the national … (11 comments)

contract: North Carolina Real Estate, Are you ready for some new rules? - 07/17/07 09:06 PM
The NC Real Estate Commission is considering some rule changes.  Are you ready?
I like the proscription against shopping offers.  Some people are so ham-handed and clumsy about it that it taints the flavor of the negotiations.  And too often it feels like it is being done unevenly, so as to favor another … (2 comments)

contract: About North Carolina Home Inspections - 01/27/07 09:30 PM
When buying a home, most Buyers choose to have a home inspection performed.  The inspection focuses on major systems of the building, is NOT a warranty or appraisal, and does not guarantee the longevity of any system.  Licensed home inspectors may be general contractors, or represent a particular trade, but are not necessarily … (3 comments)
