How do YOU price a home. - 03/20/07 08:35 AM
This is not a post about how you establish a value of a home, CMA's or adjustments. This is about that magic number that you ultimately price the listing at. For the most part we have a "range" number that we arrive at. You have a new listing and the range is between $295,000 to $305,000. Obviously the seller makes the final decision, but given that range most will elect to list their home in the middle of that suggestion. So what is that final number? Do you list the home for $299,900? Maybe society has drilled it in to me that $1.99 sounds a whole lot (7 comments)
Is it really that bad? - 03/18/07 07:26 AM
So while enjoying the more palatable Florida temps and some R&R at the beach recently.... ...I came across an interesting article in the Daytona Beach News Journal about a fellow Realtor who has to subsidise her income with a 2nd job due to the slump in the housing market. We have had a somewhat slower few months than winters past, but thankfully not to the point when a 2nd job has become a necessity to eat. My heart goes out to you. Spring is almost here (although that white stuff on the ground is still hanging around) and the phones are ringing and (4 comments)
WOW, what a community - 03/17/07 08:20 PM
My last post was a few weeks ago and it was all about being intimidated when I express myself on AR. I wrote it and then headed South to sunny Daytona Beach to whoop it up for Bike week. (We all have to let go sometimes!) On my return I was amazed to see the out-pouring of positive comments and encouragement for my efforts. Thank you one and all. This community is indeed a caring one. Now I feel guilty for not responding in the correct manor. The icing on the cake was a phone call out of the blue from Maureen McCabe all the way from (6 comments)
I am a Maryland transplant from many other places, most recently Florida, but since 1997 I have found my true home in the heart of this great State. Maryland has it all. Mountains 3 hours to the West, the Atlantic Ocean 3 hours to the East and head North and South for either Philadelphia and New York or Washington DC. It is the perfect location! The Metro Baltimore area offers a rich mix of history and modern amenities. City living, suburbia or "not a neighbor in sight" is available in this area. Excellent Schools, amazing communities and an incredible location is why many people choose to live in Central Maryland. I proudly help my clients buy and sell all types of homes in Howard County and beyond. Enjoying the entire process is my goal for my clients. Every transaction is different and everyone has different needs. I know the Metro Baltimore area well and I am current on the Real Estate Market activity- That's my job.
As your "Buyers Agent" I will work diligently to find you the home that suits all your needs. I will update you immediately when a home matches your search criteria. I will educate you on the current market and help you craft the best offer possible. I will "hold your hand" throughout the entire process.
As your "Listing Agent" I will coach and guide you from day one to put your best foot forward when you list your home. I will use aggressive and innovative marketing strategies to give your home the best exposure possible. I will use modern technology and multiple resources that other agents do not use. I WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH PROOF OF ALL MY EFFORTS.
I am a full time agent and I my number one goal is to give you exceptional service ALWAYS.
