az home selling: Shh! Don't Frighten It! The Endangered Exclusive Listing - 07/23/08 01:45 PM
There are scores of listings languishing on the market here in the greater Phoenix area. Thousands upon thousands of them. Many are overpriced. Many are in less than ideal condition.

az home selling: Is a House Trade Right for You? - 06/28/08 11:24 AM
The concept of trading houses is not a new one. It was around when I started in this industry nearly a decade ago, and it was around when my father was just launching his career in 1974. What is unique, at least in terms of the local Real Estate market in the greater

Multiple Offers? Bidding Wars? Cash Sales? Oh My!
Surely I refer to the good ole days of 2005, right? Not exactly. Try 2008.

Had an interesting conversation with a fellow agent in my office the other day. He mentioned something that I had noticed, but not really thought too much about. Why aren't sellers calling and screaming for their offers right now? This particular associate has been in Real Estate for a long time.
