abr: A bird in the hand - 07/13/07 02:51 PM
Is a Bird in the Hand better than Two in the Bush? 
The answer is yes!
This is a cautionary tale for all home sellers.  Times have changed, the market is no longer a Sellers market. I know you all know that, have heard it on the news, read the articles in the papers...all the doom and gloom but even so  many sellers are acting as if it is still a sellers market. As if willing it will make it so! So are many real estate agents! I'm all for being optimistic and positive but I'm also realistic.  
And REALISTIC is where … (37 comments)

abr: It's Offical I'm an ABR and SRES Instructor! - 07/07/07 12:47 PM
As some of you know I've been working my way through the instructor certification process required by REBAC to become an ABR and SRES instructor.
It took a while but I have completed both the required one day course in DC and the two day course in St Louis and the dreaded tests.
Thankfully I passed both tests and now I'm finally "certified"...YIPPEE! 
ABR and SRES are both National Association of REALTORS designations.  They are multi-day courses and are offered across the country.
I'm very willing to travel and my rates are great...so keep me in mind if you're looking for … (44 comments)

abr: Active Rain-NAR and Stagers...How cool. - 06/18/07 07:08 PM
I thought this was so cool, I'm not sure if anyone posted about it but if they did I missed it.
I am a regular visitor to the NAR's website REALTOR.org . I like it because I usually can find lots of good information there and it's all free for me to use. Plus I really like to get as much bang as I can out of my dues dollars.

abr: So you think you're alone now... - 06/13/07 05:35 PM
Sometimes I hear stories that just leave me wondering.
A listing agent met a Co-broker and her clients at her listing to do a showing.  During the showing it was readily apparent that the home did not meet the buyers needs.
While standing in the kitchen talking about the home the listing agent mentioned another listing that she had just listed. One that she thought would better suit the buyers.The home was in excellent condition was priced competitively and had everything the buyers seemed to be looking for. She suggested that they go take a look at it as it was easy … (118 comments)

abr: 110 posts and I didn't even know it!!! - 06/01/07 08:25 PM
Can I blow my own horn??
I passed 100 posts and never knew it! LOL I guess I was asleep at the wheel.  How exciting 110 posts in eight months!!!  Yippee!
Of course it's combined but it still counts...I hope anyway!   I'm sorry I don't have a special post to celebrate but I wanted to say that I truly love this place. As crazy as it gets at times. Dare I say that I don't get many featured :) posts (that was hard to type)...even combined but thats okay because I'm having a blast and learning so much just being here.
