- 04/04/08 06:14 AM
And how often does that happen to us when we are working with buyers? Pretty frequently I would say. Years ago I adopted using a buyer consultative approach to building a relationship with the buyers that I work with. I suggest you do the same and I am sure you will be pleased with the results you gain from using this approach. A buyer consultative approach requires one thing at the core - CITO! The buyer ust be willing to "Come In To the Office" to meet with you or there is a good chance they are a tire kicker and … (4 comments)

roundrock: Methods of Getting the Deal Done as Interest Rates Climb...
- 04/02/08 12:27 AM
As we all know real estate is cyclical in nature and what goes around comes around. If you were around in the 80's, you know that financing was the big problem in those days with double digit inflation that robbed buyers of buying power. A creative technique that was often used in the era to facilitate a transaction was the use of buy-down programs by seller's to give them a competitive edge over other sellers. For instance, all things equal if my seller offers a 3 point buydown on their home, the payments are cheaper and they open the home to … (3 comments)

Looking at homes for sale via the internet is fun and exciting, at first. After a while, it gets a little frustrating, but you've learned a lot. You have a general idea of what homes look like in the area, prices, differences in costs for numbers of bedrooms, baths, size and location, location, location. Next comes the "real" home hunt. Who do you take with you? If you're married, you take your spouse. There is always the chance you're going to find something perfect and you cannot make a decision without your spouse.

roundrock: Are You a Baby Boomer?
- 03/25/08 06:15 AM
Baby boomers are defined as people born 1946-1964. After American soldiers returned home from World War II in 1946, the United States experienced an explosion of births (hence the name baby boom) that continued for the next 18 years, when the birth rate began to drop. In 1964, baby boomers represented 40% of the population, which means that more than one third of the population was under 19 years of age. In the 1990s, approximately 76 million people in the United States were born in the baby boom years, representing approximately 29% of the country's population.

In this article I will focus on only one standard one, the sale of another home. In standard Texas contracts (TREC or TAR forms), the buyer has the right to submit an offer on … (0 comments)
