Southern Utah Red Dirt!
The smell of freshly turned soil first thing in the morning, means another quality constructed residence will soon be going vertical! Not to mention, another happy home owner couple will reside in the St. George, Utah area.
First: The contractor chalks lines that roughly represent the floor plan on the lot to ensure best placement and ideal location for the home. Second: With original floor plan in hand, the home buyers, their agent and builder all walk the perimeter, discussing any changes. Third: Once everything is discussed and agreed upon then signed off by all parties, the dirt work finally begins! … (10 comments)

Homeowner Question: What happens when an offer comes in?
When an offer comes in, we will sit down together and I will:
Explain the offer in detail. Answer any questions you may have. Help you determine which course of action to take. Negotiate counteroffers when required. Give you all information necessary to reach a final agreement. Work with buyer’s agent, title officer and others to maintain forward momentum. Discuss questions or problems that may occur with inspections or other contingencies. Meet at the closing table at the title company where final documents will be signed. Congratulate and thank you for the opportunity to help … (8 comments)

Another Home SOLD in Washington, Utah at Coral Canyon Golf Course Community!
The journey taken with clients allows agents to become familiar with home wants and needs, up close and personal. Prior to getting to the closing table, the time is well spent exploring the area, finally finding that special one that will serve them well for many years to come.
After the signing of documents, the title person went to make a bound copy for the buyers, my client asked if sitting in a closing ever gets old or boring for me. I immediately said, "No, a closing represents a happy occasion where goals are met with smiles … (4 comments)

It's Mardi Gras Y'all and we're celebrating in southern Utah!
Clients arrived in southern Utah bearing gifts from their birthplace; a King Cake, multiple strands of beads, beads and more beads, flashing rabbit ears, along with the spirit of the New Orleans yearly celebration of Mardi Gras! The stories they told of the history of Mardi Gras kept me entranced as we ate cake.
No one has found the baby yet so I guess I better keep eating...yu-um, this has turned out to be one of the best Fat Tuesdays / work days ev-er!
Happy Day all!

Who's the BOSS? It might surprise you.
When talking to couples regarding their wants and needs, you will get a good sense of who ultimately makes the decisions behind the scenes. Of course, family dynamics have dramatically changed from the days of Leave it to Beaver and Father Knows Best.
My mother was the decision maker in the family even though she made it appear on all outward appearances that my dad took control, was in charge. Both people need to come together in the decision-making process, that is true.
Before you decide which of the two clients are … (21 comments)

ActiveRain to ActiveRain Referrals: Thank you Jim Hale!
From the time I took Jim Hale's call to discuss a referral, I was sure to follow up and follow through with the couple he sent my way. During the process, we searched throughout southern Utah to find them a forever home. We came close several times to reaching their goals and then her face lit up as we walked across the threshold of the home they would buy!
In the meantime Jim was working diligently to sell their home in Oregon. They closed there and 4 days later, we closed here! It took good … (16 comments)

Would you take an overpriced listing just to get the exclusive right to sell it?
A home owner called asking if I'd like to make an appointment to possibly list her home. I asked all the pertinent questions, including whether she was under contract already.
She said yes.
I told her I'd be glad to make an appointment after the listing expired, to which she replied, "The Exclusive Listing Agreement was scheduled to expire in 5 days." and that she had 2 other agents coming by on the Thursday before, though they are not allowed to list it until it expired.
I called the current … (47 comments)

This may burst your balloons!
Before you hold an Open House event or hang your For Sale sign at the seller's home in an active HOA, read the CCRs that drive the community, otherwise they may get penalized due to your efforts. Not exactly the best way to win your clients over when representing their listing!
Some developments strictly forbid any type of:
Signage Balloons or Sales Banners
The HOA will take necessary steps to be sure the owner gets the message loud and clear through financial means in the form of fines. While you are creating traffic, you are also putting your clients … (65 comments)

excellent client relationships: 5 GOOD Reasons to purchase a home.
- 06/25/13 01:32 AM
5 GOOD Reasons to purchase a home.
1. An investment that continues to give peace of mind.
2. The freedom to make spaces suit your life-style!
3. To own, rather than just dwell within four rental walls.
4. Security in ownership, knowing that a landlord cannot sell out from under you.
5. Coming home to a place where you can be yourself, by yourself or with others.
Home ownership takes on all comers, no matter who, what, when, where or why and is as individual as you and I. Each buyer has their own list of reasons they wish to purchase a home and as agents, we … (13 comments)

excellent client relationships: What are the advantages of buying a new home?
- 06/20/13 12:45 AM
What are the advantages of buying a new home?
While showing properties this weekend to potential new home buyers, I was asked about the advantages of buying new construction rather than purchasing an existing home.
I started off with:
Technology comes standard in new homes. Most builders offer a 2-10 year home warranty. A new home offers a clean slate, no past history. Buyers are able to pick out their upgrades, features and colors. In some cases, location is an option when looking to build a new home. When it comes to purchasing, there are options and potential buyers … (13 comments)

Gain a client's trust and you're in business!
Clients depend on you to be the professional during a real estate transaction. Anything less is not acceptable.
Set an appointment?
Show up on time. Arriving early lends a sense of responsibility. Say you'll call?
Put it in your calendar as a reminder and then follow through. Deadlines nearing?
Notify clients of what still needs to be accomplished well ahead of time. Clients have questions?
Be prepared for anything or research and get answers in a timely manner. Being organized and planning ahead is crucial to maintaining a high standard for clients … (6 comments)

excellent client relationships: Believing in yourself is the greatest gift you can give.
- 06/06/13 12:40 AM
Believing in yourself is the greatest gift you can give.
How many times have you been told that you 'can't do this' or you 'can't do that' by people who wish to limit you? The problem lies not with the people outwardly expressing themselves, it is with the person who buys into their ideals.
Prior to real estate, I worked numerous jobs, trying to find a career that would suit my talents, compliment the 'people pleaser' that thrived within. One of the last jobs was with a home builder as an Assistant Director of Marketing & Advertising. I loved everything about the position and that … (18 comments)

Going out on a limb. Literally!
While looking for homes to show a potential client, I always read the Showing Instructions carefully so that I have a clear understanding of what to expect. Three homes in the same subdivision were vacant / keyboxed making them easy to show, my client arrived and off we went to see the list of properties.
We came to the the last home and I couldn't find the electronic key box any where.
I called the listing agent and he told me it was located in a tree near the front door...seriously? I … (71 comments)

Wait your turn! Durn it!
While showing homes yesterday, another agent and his clients walked right in the door, interrupting a scheduled appointment. No apologies. No introductions. He acted like we were all on tour together and then proceeded to show the house to his clients!
The house is on electronic keybox and instead of handing over the key to him, I put the key back in the keybox and requested that he enter his code and get the key back out. He did so and we left to drive to the next property on the list.
We get there and here they … (29 comments)

Change the attitude, my clients could become your landlord!
Showing potential rental properties to purchase, my clients and I encountered not only one but two tenants who refused to allow us in to view them. Both units were both owned by the same person and we had the go ahead to get inside.
The day before, I phoned the listing agent due to the 24-hour required period for notice and we proceeded forward. I rang the doorbell several times on the first unit and a man finally answered, gruffly asking me what I was doing. I am here to show this property I … (23 comments)

I hit the Jackpot at B-I-N-G-O!
My husband and I like to play bingo a few sessions a month. It gives us time together and allows us to relax and also meet other people. Several months ago we met a couple from California who own many multi-family complexes. He said he was thinking about buying in southern Utah. I gave him a business card with an invitation to call me when he was ready.
I received a call a few days ago from him. He had sold a complex and was looking to purchase another and asked for information. I sent him some … (67 comments)
