To be or not to be a FOR SALE BY OWNER.......must read! Part 1.... - 01/10/11 03:07 PM
Dear Silver Spring Homeowner,
Just because you can, DOESN'T mean you should.
Sincerely,
Stanley BarschP.S. Here is why:
It's a decision you have to make --- to work with a REALTOR® or not It's a choice you have to live with --- to deal with one professional, or many many many buyers It's a lifestyle --- you will have to show your home EVERY SINGLE TIME, and see EVERY SINGLE PERSON It's availability --- you have to answer the calls, and explain the story to every caller...serious or not It's a business --- you need to trust your abilities to … (4 comments)

Stop! I know why your home didn't sell............really I do............... - 01/09/11 12:15 PM
Are you frustrated because your Silver Spring, Maryland home hasn't sold?
Did you withdrawal it from the market, did it expire, did it JUST NOT SELL?
STOP!!!!!! Don't pull your hair out, I know why it didn't sell.......let me show you.......
Before we get started, turn that frown upside down!
There are three things that ultimately affect the sale of your home:
3) Condition of property - You have 100% full control of this, YOU decide if it's important to get YOUR home up to par for today's market. YOU decide how good that home is going to … (6 comments)

Question about DC Real Estate - 01/07/11 02:52 PM
QUESTION FROM A BUYER IN CLEVELAND PARK
Question: "Do you work exclusively in Silver Spring, or do you sell homes in other parts of the area? My husband and I are looking to purchase in the next couple of months in the Cleveland Park area......"
Answer: Silver Spring is our niche area, however we do focus throughout different areas of DC, Maryland and Virginia. Stanley is one of the fewest folks in the area that can really say he was "born and raised in DC." This is a unique situation, because Stanley has lived and/or owned properties in different … (0 comments)

Rentals - "Oh I don't have anything bad on my credit, that I Know of"...... - 01/06/11 01:55 PM
BAD CREDIT? NO, NOT ME!!!! ARE YOU LYING? NO, NOT ME!!!!!
As trusted REALTORS® in DC, Maryland and Virginia we're starting to see an influx of rentals coming through lately. If you know anything about the DC area, you know it's very transient....and rentals could be a boast in our personal business for many reasons from people moving into the area, folks wanting to upgrade to a larger home and upside down on the mortgage, normal rental properties, and folks with not so great credit who are unable to buy.
In the last month alone, we've handled multiple rentals … (3 comments)

Buying or selling a condo in 2011? Get educated now! - 01/04/11 12:55 PM
---------CHECK FHA STATUS OF A CONDOMINIUM BUILDING, CLICK HERE--------
Are you buying or selling a condo in DC, Maryland or Virginia?
Is YOUR building, or the building you are buying in affected by FHA changes?
I heard so many terms used for the December 7, 2010 deadline for FHA financing on many condos throughout the region. From "end of times" to "condo judgment day", etc. Whatever people were calling it, that date was really going to make an impact on first time home buyers out there or folks who wanted to put little down into their investment. As we … (0 comments)

Some Little Diddies to Help You Be a Better Lister. - 01/04/11 11:02 AM
Bryant Tutas put together this fantastic list of "key phrases" to incorporate into your next listing presentation. Bryant knows his stuff, and the answers to some frequently asked questions are on spot! Thanks for posting Bryant....
Via Bryant Tutas-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc:
Hi folks, if you are a listing broker like I am, the fastest route to failure is taking listings that won't sell. Never, ever, at anytime take an overpriced listing. All you will achieve by doing this is to create stress and eventually you will get a bad reputation in your market area. It's the biggest mistake you can … (3 comments)

Yes this is the year, I'm going to blog! 365 DAY CHALLENGE! Are you READY? - 01/03/11 06:05 PM
ARE YOU READY FOR THE 365 DAY CHALLENGE?
What an inspiration to see all the Rainer's out there making new commitments to their businesses, and improve the way they handle themselves in 2011. It's so easy to join a bandwagon, and so easy to fall off. You know what though, it's alright...........pick up and take it at YOUR PACE. Your business runs only as good as YOU allow it to.
How committed are you to your clients, and to improving the quality of information they receive from YOU? It's okay if you don't want your name out there, it's … (2 comments)

You can't put but so much lipstick on a pig........... - 01/03/11 04:15 PM
I almost fell over in my chair laughing when an agent called me one day and said just this phrase "You can't put but so much lipstick on a pig".....
You know what, it is so true if you think about it. There comes a time, when you have to realize that it's time to upgrade or time to do a re-model of your home. There is only so much you can do to make it look appealing to another. Let me be blunt about it, just because YOU think the house looks fantastic, doesn't mean that EVERYONE else … (4 comments)

Are you really in a meeting? - 01/02/11 06:10 AM
"I'm in a meeting" ................ Really now?
A few days ago Jessica was shopping at a local clothing store here in the DC Area. A woman next to her who was vigorously shopping got a call on her cell. She had an entire conversation with her client right there in the store, as my wife put it "without skipping a beat shopping." It became very obvious that the woman was a real estate agent, and the entire phone call was about her client checking status on the "2nd" counter offer on a property. The agent told her client … (12 comments)

Sad Old Year, Happy New Year............... - 01/01/11 05:47 PM
Out with the old, in with the new....isn't that the old saying?
What a fantastic year 2010 was, on all levels from personal, professional......even economical. A year that was full of surprises, and one that changed my life in many ways.
This was a year that I battled pneumonia for almost a month, then had a minor surgery mid-year that turned into a "life-saving" surgery...............a semi-routine surgery for 3 hours, that turned into 8 hours. Thankful for the right doctor, who in fact was my angel and did a fantastic job!
Different areas of the country showing different signs of recovery … (0 comments)
