buying: A Personal Move Helps Us Empathize With Our Clients! - 05/10/23 06:03 AM
As I begin the arduous task of packing for our move, I am reminded of what my clients go through during a transition. No matter how you slice and dice it, moving is stressful, exhausting, and overwhelming. But, as the old saying goes, "How do you eat an elephant?" "One bite at a time!"
I have moved at least 25+ times in my life. Here are some of my tried and true moving tips. I call them Paula's P's:
PREPARE for the move. Gather your supplies and keep them in one place. Make sure you have plenty of packing paper, boxes, tape, … (24 comments)

The Plan for the Return to a New Normal
 
Hopefully, all of your Zoom meetings, virtual showings, and other creative real estate strategies are going well.  Now that many states are implementing the roll-out for re-opening, the question is, what is your plan for the return to the new normal.

For some of us, we have recognized … (7 comments)

Pit Stops and Pot Holes
This life journey I awaken to each and everyday is interesting to say the least. The journey in real estate is rarely on a straight and narrow road either. Typically, there are many winding roads accompanied with several pit stops and pot holes.
 
When we do experience a real estate transaction that is super smooth and closes without incident, we celebrate as this is not the norm. Those of us in real estate most likely experience transactions with numerous challenges along the way. This is where an experienced agent will add the most value to their clients.

buying: A CLIENT ADVOCATE ~ ITS OUR JOB! - 08/28/14 12:30 AM
The other day one of my client's asked me if I would contact the new home sales person to discuss a particular concern that they had.  "Of course" I said.  "I am your advocate in this transaction!"  "I work for YOU!".  
 
After hanging up, I wondered to myself if perhaps I have not fully explained to all of my clients this concept of what it means to be represented by a licensed real estate agent?   When I am hired to represent someone in a real estate transaction, I am their ADVOCATE!  So really what is the definition of … (16 comments)
