Branding Yourself!

Sharon Yeary (Sharcom Realty) — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:53:28 -0500

I did a post about this in April and I'm still getting great comments on the emails I send out. You have to Brand yourself in the Real Estate Business and this is a great way of doing it. It is not that costly when you consider what you get back on it. Go to : http://www.mlxjet.com/?rpc=SY5261 and order. This has been the best thing I could have done.

FULL Price Offers on Listings!

Sharon Yeary (Sharcom Realty) — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 22:40:13 -0500

Yes, you read correctly! In just they last week this has happened to me and also a Realtor friend of mine. I put an offer on a Home that had nothing going on it. All of a sudden there was another offer. Seller countered at full price. My Buyer did not want to counter so we were out. However, the other offer got accepted.

A Realtor friend of mine had a listing. She had 4 offers on it and several were even above the list price. Of course, she didn't tell me what they were because they were still working on the offers.

But this is GREAT NEWS! This is starting to look like the Spring/Summer of 2002 and 2003 when listings were selling before we could even get them into the MLS. I remember getting a listing and before I could even put the sign up the next morning, I had a full price offer on it.

Interest Rates are low and houses are moving. This is the time to BUY! This is the time to SELL! What are you waiting on?

Successful people have have the courage to take action while others hesitate. Remember while some people see this time as questionable others see it as a good opportunity.

Give Sharcom Realty a call at 817-845-5567 and let's "MOVE" on.

What are You Waiting On?

Sharon Yeary (Sharcom Realty) — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 10:42:45 -0500

What are you doing with your Money? The best investment you can make is still Real Estate! The market is one of the BEST we have seen in years! For Buyers, the market value of Homes has decreased a bit, there are a lot of homes to choose from and interest rates are low. For Sellers, you may get a bit less for yur Home then expected, however - the new Home you buy will also be lower. New Builders are offering some of the best incentives in years when you buy one of their homes.

So what is it exactly that keeps you from making the move to Buy or Sell? Everything, especially Real Estate works in a circle. Wouldn't you rather Sell and Buy prior to interest rates and home prices increase again? Remember Glass Jars Break if dropped. Real Estate will always be here!

There are some great Buys right now and I hope you take advantage of what is being offered. If you are in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area, please give me a call. I will help you find your "Dream" Home!

Sharon Yeary (Sharcom Realty) — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 18:10:17 -0600

I just found out that interest rates are near 5.25! Can you imagine that! 2008 is going to be a fabulous year! I have a very strong feeling that we are moving towards a sellers market. It will be a slow move but we are shifting. People seem excited about 2008 maybe because we are all ready to start a new year with enthusiasm and excitement! I know I am. Sharcom Realty has two closing this next week! Houses seem to be selling a bit faster than they were in Tarrant County, Texas. More and more people are moving into our area. The slow time has moved some of the new Realtor's the ones that gave up out of the market. Sharcom Realty is growing by leaps and bounds and we got 8 new agents this year! One is doing commercial!

Need Help Buying a New Car

Sharon Yeary (Sharcom Realty) — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 21:16:27 -0600

I just bought a new used car. I told the salesman what I wanted and he watched out for me. The day it came in he called me and I went out a bought it. Plus I saved over $5000.00.

Aaron finds what you want and makes sure you ride away with a "WOW" attitude. His cell is 469-735-5626. You must tell him that Sharon sent you!

New Homes and Inspections

Sharon Yeary (Sharcom Realty) — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 00:03:23 -0600

If you are buying a brand new home or having one built, do you know you can use a real estate agent. In fact, you should be using a real estate agent to represent you when buying a new home. First of all they can make sure you get what was promised and maybe able to get you more incentives that you did not know the builder offered.

Another good idea to have done when have a new home built is to have stage inspections. The costs range from $50.00 to $75.00 per inspection but they are worth it! If repairs are needed they can be done before the next stage of the home is added.

If you are thinking about buying a New Home or Building a New Home give Sharon Yeary a call with Sharcom Realty at 817-845-5567. She has the Certified New Home Sales designation! Sharon serves the Fort Worth-Dallas Area of Texas!

Responding to Offers

Sharon Yeary (Sharcom Realty) — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 14:35:28 -0500

Ok...I'm a bit hot under the collar and I don't even have a collar on! I called on Friday evening to one of the top teams with CB. I spoke to the wife of the husband and wife team. I asked for a Sellers Disclosure on a property and told her we were submittinb an offer on Saturday morning. She asked for my fax and said she would send it over. By Saturday morning I still didn't have the Seller's Disclosure and called and left a message again and that I was meeting my client at 10:00 AM. I never received a call back. I met my client at the local Starbucks and he signed all papers for the offer. I faxed over the offer. I called and left another message that I had faxed over the offer. No reply. It's Sunday and I just emailed the listing agent. My buyer wanted a call by 5PM today regarding the offer. My offer was low - I know it was low but that is what my buyer wanted to offer. I told the listing agent it was low however my buyer deserves the same treatment as a higher priced offer. This home has been on the market for 153 days and has changed realtors several times.

In the email I sent, I asked them to contact me asap. I was not mean but focused. How can you treat another agent this way especially when they are putting in an offer on one of your homes that has been sitting there. Evidently, this sale is not that important to them.

What are your thoughts?

Cars

Sharon Yeary (Sharcom Realty) — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 09:08:59 -0500

As I am driving to an appointment this morning, I got to thinking about cars. I'm looking for a new car. My daughter will take mine in Janary and I need a new one. Do I lease or do I buy? The cars I am looking at are so expensive but I want to look successful. Also, colors! How boring the world is getting. I noticed white, black, silver and beige cars...maybe a burgundy here and there. What happened to bright blues and the great deep dark purple that the Dodge used to make, or candy apple red! We need more color in the world! Another thing...should I "wrap" my car with my logo or just put on back window? How would a Mercedes or Lexus look with this? I want my car to shout "Hey I sell Real Estate and I'm successful and you should use me!" Afterall my car is my office. Perception is everything! So, what do you think?

Fort Worth one of the Best Places to Buy!

Sharon Yeary (Sharcom Realty) — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 15:55:33 -0500

Ah Fort Worth, Texas! Forbes Magazine just came out with the top 10 best places to buy a home in. Fort Worth was number 1! WHOHOOOO! Houston was also on the list although it was number 5 or 6 - not sure. Our median price for a home is $156,000 and some change. I have always know it was a great place because I was born here, raised here and seem to always come back here whenever I move away. What can I say but it is HOME!

Fort Worth is just a good old boy town, simple down to earth beautiful town. It's about 20 minutes to downtown Fort Worth from the DFW Airport. Downtown was designed to be like Main Street in Disneyland. We have brick streets and you still see our police on horses sometimes. The BASS HALL opened up just a few years ago and it is fabulous!

It's so nice to be home!

If you have any buyers that want to invest in Fort Worth, please send them my way.

A Funny thing Happened on the way to show Homes!

Sharon Yeary (Sharcom Realty) — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 14:14:51 -0500

I drove to my clients house and picked them up to show them homes as I did every weekend. I felt good, looked good and was positive we were going to find the right house for them. I was getting in the drivers side and my clients were both getting into the other side of the car. They were talking with me. The heel on my shoe turned some how and I felt flat on my back. I was fine but embarrassed so I got up real fast hoping they wouldn't have noticed. As we got into the car..they asked are you ok?

My face was RED! but we looked at homes and they found the perfect one!
