My neighbor, John, got X for his house, he told me so...
I had a listing appointment today and I decided to approach the price question in a different way. I often get shot down when I give my price opinion and I thought I would ask the seller what she thought her house was worth and then I would give my opinion and justify it with my data.
How refreshing it was to have the seller say, she had no idea what her house is worth and that is why I was sitting at her table. Most of the … (33 comments)

A quote of Phil Calloway

A quote of Zig Ziglar
This is a hard concept for many people to accept in today's society!

Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses and disappointments …
A quote of Joseph Addison
Sometimes I get so caught up in the disappointments, negativity and the moment, I don't realize how lucky I was to lose a battle only to win the war. Has that ever happen to you? I've never lost something that hasn't made me stronger and better equipped to handle the same challenge and succeed in the future....

real estate for sale: I'm tired of our industry being Stereotyped...
- 01/31/12 11:21 AM
Do you ever get tired of being portrayed as one of those agents or brokers on television? Are we being stereotyped?
Thank god they took Million Dollar Properties off the air. What an insult to the hard working women and men who work in the industry day in and day out. I know, most of the situations on that show were staged however most of the people watching believed we were all back stabbers and partied when we were done showing real estate.
My problem with Selling L.A. Is not so much with the story lines as it is with flashing the potential commission above … (9 comments)

real estate for sale: What is your description of the perfect real estate day?
- 01/30/12 06:21 PM
What is your description of the perfect real estate day? I think I just had one, a perfect real estate day, that is.
My day started with an email from a service member in Korea. He was looking for a real estate agent and he was just two miles from the DMZ separating North and South Korea. He found me through my blog on ActiveRain. We are now in the pre approval and home search phase of our relationship.
I then prepared for my 11:30 listing appointment. I was meeting with four sisters who wanted to list their deceased mother's house. I had … (14 comments)

real estate for sale: Are you ready, willing, and able to support your client's needs?
- 01/23/12 06:25 AM
Who can you depend on?
Sad but true, not all real estate professionals are created equally. When you choose a real estate professional to manage the sale of your home, don't you expect him or her to check on your listing after a major storm?
When a call comes in from a client asking about the condition of their property, do you tell them;
You don't know. I don't have time to check on it. I'll get to it as soon as I can. Apparently none of the above should have been the answer given by a certain agent at … (5 comments)

real estate for sale: Call your agent, broker or me now!
- 01/18/12 04:14 AM
It's snowing outside but my iPhone just keeps on ringing.
Some people are calling it SNOWmageddon but I believe it's a great day to work out of my home office. People are staying home due to the snowfall and what a great time to get, through the magic of technology, on those computers and search for homes.
Remember people, you don't have to go out to look at houses or condos anymore. We can come right into your living room and through pictures and virtual tours show you our inventories. When the snow will melt and we can go look at your … (8 comments)

real estate for sale: Does feedback constitute a testimonial?
- 01/17/12 10:11 AM
Does feedback constitute a testimonial?
The day seldom goes by without someone asking for feedback on showings or listings in general. If you say something nice about a product or listing should this feedback constitute a testimonial.
The definition of testimonial is; [tes-tuh-moh-nee-uhl] noun
a written declaration certifying to a person's character, conduct, or qualifications, or to the value, excellence, etc., of a thing; a letter or written statement of recommendation. something given or done as an expression of esteem, admiration, or gratitude. At some point, I know I've given feedback to another agent just to be nice. Followed by an explanation why … (1 comments)

real estate for sale: Who is liable for your clients pet?
- 01/08/12 07:17 PM
Who is liable for your client's pet?
So many Blog Posts have been written about Real Estate Listings with pets, I thought I would contribute this about my experiences...
Whether your an agent with a Buyer in tow or just out previewing, Don't pets in the remarks portion of a listing conjure up all sorts of thoughts in your head? Pets often are more of a nuisance than alarm systems. Don't get me wrong I'm a pet lover too! I always wade through the listing report and check for;
Day sleepers Alarm systems Pets Call before showing A good practice … (9 comments)
