How I haggle in foreign markets - 04/29/09 10:07 AM
Judging from listening to other people when shopping in markets abroad, I am surprised that many of them bargain very poorly.  Many of them, particularly cruise ship crowds, do not seem to even know that bargaining is an option.
Haggling is an art form.  I am used to it because it is the norm in the country where I am from, but I have had to alter my approach slightly for each country we go to.  Whether you are haggling in Malaysia, Turkey, or Jordan, the approach is similar but there are differences.
The chief difference between the different markets around … (0 comments)

Sorry for the long delay, as my husband, kids, and I were traveling through Turkey.  We visited Istanbul, Antalya, and Cappadocia and it was a great trip.  My favorite part was Cappadocia.

Should I waste my time writing an offer? - 04/01/09 10:03 AM
Recently I received a call from another agent asking about one of my properties.  He wanted to write an offer and told me the amount that he was thinking of writing it for.  He wanted to know whether he would be wasting his time if he wrote the offer. I already had couple offers on the table.
I'm sorry, but when is earning several thousand dollars a waste of your time?  If your buyers want the property, write up the offer!  That's what you are getting paid for!  Besides, who knows?  Sometimes it is surprising which offer gets accepted.  I have … (6 comments)
