ran right realty: SELLER SELLING HIS HOME THROUGH ME - 03/22/19 10:21 AM

I have a client who comes along once in a great while who just wants everything to go and show well in the selling of his home. Making repairs ahead of time without being told, landscaping at a premium and professionally cleaned and photo-graphed including drone coverage too. Furthermore, he is researching the neighborhood to get a feel for pricing and days on market and wants to come out of the gate a winner

ran right realty: TOP DOLLAR DYNAMICS (real estate theme) - 03/21/19 07:25 AM

Money makes the world not only go round but is one of the necessities of life. We learn this very early on and train ourselves to be a person that looks for opportunities. Using the dynamic of one thing leads to another, we finally come across our success and it tastes sweet so much so we want more of it. This is expected. However, something comes to interfere with it all...

ran right realty: REAL ESTATE FRONT LINES (no substitute) - 02/11/19 07:52 AM

The other day I had to give a 30 day notice to 8 year quality decent tenants. Its a long story as often Real Estate and life can be. I want to use it to make a point however. It was done with respect, courtesy and humility and even so it was emotional, affected all involved and left one with lots of pondering. Why? Its the front lines!
THE IMPACT
For every month over an 8 year period, as a property manager I had the fondest thoughts of the tenants. Why? They helped me do my job and serve my client well. I … (8 comments)

ran right realty: YOU ARE ASKING ME ABOUT AN OFFER? - 06/07/18 06:28 PM

I get a text from one of the sellers of a listing I didn't get asking me if they should accept an offer made to them. You see people usually appreciate something more when they lose it. I interviewed and invested time and money in a large listing that I didn't get. So imagine my surprise when I get the text asking for my opinion....now?
ETHICS 101
All character driven agents know not to interfere with other agents & their clients who they have under contract & where fiduciary is at work. That's a no-no to get involved even if you are invited. My answer (to … (21 comments)

ran right realty: CAN A CITY FORCE REPAIRS? - 05/13/18 07:02 AM

I manage a property in a medium size City in California and received a notice from my client (the owner) who received a notice from the City stating the following: The interior and the exterior of the above referenced property is scheduled to be inspected on May 20th 2018 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to see if you are compliant with Uniform Housing code

ran right realty: I THINK (Real Estate Opinions) - 03/11/18 06:37 AM

Everyone can and does do the title of the post. Some do it more than others and some less. The secret is to learn how to wield your think so that it serves and of course does not only the required tasks but also perform what is asked of it. Some people license their thinking becoming experts or professionals in their fields. Its when people think they are when they are not the troubles begins

ran right realty: AGENTS HAVE TO BE KNOWN - 01/07/18 06:49 AM

A friend of mine told me the story of an agent in line at the grocery store over-hearing a conversation from the person in front of them to the cashier having to do with his father passing away and leaving a house to be sold. At the right break in the conversation, the agent jumped-in and offered condolences along with the following statement: I am a Real Estate agent and if I can help with the home please let me know

ran right realty: REAL ESTATE LEGS (any legs really) - 01/02/18 06:43 AM

When I fist read Moby Dick by Herman Melville, it brought to my attention the adventure of going to sea for the first time. It sounds simple enough but in reality its an experience that cannot be rushed or substituted. One must put in the time and then, at some point is worthy to earn their "salt" as they say and then acquire their sea legs. That's who everyone wants to ship with

ran right realty: NORMAL REAL ESTATE MARKET? - 11/10/17 07:08 AM

In a normal Real Estate market, the seller goes high and the buyer goes low and eventually we all meet somewhere mutually satisfying. If agents are involved, it goes a little smoother as well as more predictable allowing efforts to be spent where needed elsewhere. There are no learning curves when professionals are involved only the newness and uniqueness of the transaction itself
NOT A NORMAL MARKET
When you have a sellers market or a buyers market, they are the exceptions to the supposed "normal" market. Why? Because it is slanted in someones favor to prevail or take a stand similar to take it or leave it tactics. What … (10 comments)

ran right realty: WHERE IS YOUR AGENT? - 10/14/17 12:31 PM

I have a neighbor that listed their house with another agent. It's awkward since we both know each other and I finally wished him well the evening I saw the Realtors sign go up. I have come to understand that many people have friends, relatives & associates that they go to first. So be it. At times, I am that man too
TWO DAYS LATER
My neighbor comes over to talk and share and expresses to me his concern. We don't know if the house is priced right. What? Now I knew the pricing for the area and remarked to him that it is a bit under priced … (17 comments)

ran right realty: REAL ESTATE KNOW IT ALLS? - 06/16/17 06:25 AM

There isn't anyone you can run into now a days that doesn't know something about Real Estate. When it is doing good, it is in the news and word of mouth is about. If not so good, the same dynamics apply. No matter what condition it is in or what reasons lead you to the Real Estate arenas, everyone has something to say... some more than others...

ran right realty: REAL ESTATE AGENT OR ZILLOW? - 05/28/17 06:48 AM

Zillow is a leader in helping buyers, sellers and agents come to an awareness in regards to property values in Real Estate. For years they have been given their best estimates called zestimates as a way of getting their foot in the Real Estate door. Why? Its a multi-trillion dollar industry and who wouldn't want a bite of that? A nibble? A crumb?

ran right realty: DOWNSIZING PERSONAL & PROFESSIONAL - 05/03/17 07:07 AM

For some, this is a planned expected move that ends exactly as imagined and for others, a sad time of reflection and change coming about on its own. I am speaking about those that realize living in a smaller space and paying less for it is practical and makes sense and those who are growing old in larger homes and need to consolidate

ran right realty: CAN YOU PERFORM? (real estate theme) - 12/26/16 08:44 AM

It is still not settled even in today's climate of buying and selling this title post question of mine. I still get inquires from buyer agents and principals who just haven't tamed or answered this vital question. The right answer makes you a player and the lack of one a dreamer and a waster of time
ARE YOU QUALIFIED
I ran into an agent or two the other day that when I asked if their buyer was qualified, they hesitated and stuttered. Without answering they answered. The whole conversation went another way after that. I have had principals and even investors come my … (5 comments)

ran right realty: AN AGENT HAS TO CLOSE - 12/06/16 07:59 AM

What is the point of having a Real Estate agent if that agent does not make a difference? Let's back up a bit. A principal like a seller, investor or buyer wakes up one day and wants to enter into the Real Estate fields i.e. do some business. In the majority and high percentile of cases, that means calling an agent to hit the ground running & gets things going!
AGENT ACTIVATION
There has to be and most certainly is a big difference between an agent ramping up to do business and an layman or FSBO. When hiring an agent, a series of mandatory events … (7 comments)
