New Construction & Home Inspection - 05/30/08 08:23 AM
My husband and I are purchasing a new home that should be ready at the end of June.  I have heard mixed comments about the necessity of a home inspection when working with new construction.  My gut feeling is that it can't hurt because there could be shoddy construction practices taking place.  However, I have heard people say that it is a waste of money.  I was curious what your opinions were about this.  Also, would you do it pre-settlement or would you do it sometime in the first year before the warranties expire?

Oakcreek Club - A Wonderful New Community - 05/29/08 05:45 PM
Oakcreek Club, Prince George's County new luxury home development has made significant strides this year.  When I first visited Oakcreek Club last May I was immediately impressed by the planned amenities.  However, they were little more than plans and promises at that point.  Currently, the championship golf course is completed and open to members and the community's gates and welcoming fountain are fully operational.  There are additional planned amenities including a club house, swim and tennis facilities, park areas, and a shuttle to the Metro.
Oakcreek Club boasts many different builders and many housing styles to suit just about every buyer.  … (0 comments)

Realtor Courtesy - 05/27/08 08:04 AM
I mentioned in an earlier post that I am selling my own home.  It's given me a clear vantage point for how rude some realtors can be. 
We've had realtors make appointments to show early on a weekend morning.  We've gotten up early and left with the children, drove around for 2 hours only to come back and see no business card.  My husband and I were left in limbo - did they come or not.  When I followed up with the realtor he said "Didn't see we ran out of time."  -  At 10am?  
Many realtors don't leave their cards … (13 comments)

Prospecting Expireds - 05/21/08 07:51 AM
As a new agent I have found it difficult to generate business.  I was planning to prospect expireds but have found keeping up with the mailings daunting.  I was wondering if anyone knew of expired tracking software that would make it easier to keep up with which address got which mailing, etc.  Also, I was wondering do people find that this type of prospecting is worthwhile or is there too much competition?  Are there any good suggestions for how to make this type of prospecting pay off?

Selling my own home. - 05/14/08 11:50 AM
Its been a tough few weeks trying to sell my own home.  The realtor in me says lower the price, the seller in me cringes at the thought of a precipitous price drop.  As difficult as it has been, its been a good lesson for me.  As realtors we are about the business of selling real-estate, then why is this one different - because this time its personal.  I am no different from every other seller who is actively engaged in the home sale process and attached to my home.  Every time someone comes through and doesn't make an offer it … (3 comments)
