Greetings,
Yet you do not know what your life will be like tommorow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. 
This is not the bottom. I repeat, this is not the bottom.
Certain images stand out in my mind throughout life. There is a
I never thought I would be using persistence and patience in the same sentence. I am learning that it takes a lot of both to make it in the real estate business. As I sit here negotiating an offer I am having to exercise a lot of patience to get calls … (0 comments)
The current real estate market requires a lot of patience on the seller's side, the agent's side and the buyer's side. The sellers have to present their home in the very best light they can and patiently await the right buyer. The agents have to work twice as hard to sell … (0 comments)
I recently revamped some of my on line tools. In the process I deleted a few old blogs and created a few others. Things were going great until I watched my SEO plummet..
I could have called this “having your cake and eating it, too” – essentially the same message.
I am currently working with a woman in her older years and she has been a delight.
When you get into the practice of real estate are you just selling houses? If you answered yes, then I must say you are mistaken, because you are really selling a lifestyle. To a homeowner, real estate buyer, or a seller a real estate transaction will always be a personal transaction … (18 comments)
Active Rain, our beloved Real Estate professional social network, yesterday launched a highly publicized, highly optimistic, highly raved about new version of LOCALISM...Localism.com...
What is localism???
Rich Jacobson, a community builder and Active Rain employee, stated and defined it best...

Another Philadelphia Success Story - Philadelphia Real Estate
Hello AR community!
If I have learned any thing from being a Realtor it is PATIENCE!
I never thought that I would say that the selection of houses was grim for my buyers. Yes, you heard me correctly. I currently have 14 buyers writing offers in the market place. Each one of them at separate times has told me that there is just not that much to … (3 comments)
To all Realtors, I would like to say thank you and Congratulations for working so hard no matter how long it takes. If you make it to closing, than you most likely did everything you could for your Buyers and/or Sellers to make sure the transaction had a happy ending. I … (3 comments)
why are they called short sales when they take so long? don't you think they should be called LONG Sales... :0)) seriously, anyone who is dealing with the banks and waiting to hear back whether their offer will be accepted has to have PATIENCE..... in Las Vegas we have so many … (0 comments)
For anyone that had the patience and fortitude to write and/or post any blogs this weekend and took the painstaking time involved to make any comments in active-rain must be almost a Saint! LOL (I guess my catholic upbringing is coming through) I know any of you that went to a catholic school can … (4 comments)
I've heard my colleagues complain about and flat out decline listing a short sale. The question I always have is...WHY? What's the big deal? The major complaints - They take too long, The bank cuts your commission, I get ridiculous offers, etc. Before you turn down a nice commission check, here … (2 comments)
I think that the most important thing you can do to survive the short sale process is have patience. Patience for the seller, the buyer, the other agent and the most important person to have patience for is the bank or mortgage holder. At this point, there are so many articles written … (0 comments)
Real Estate is full of hurry up and wait! You really have to have the right amount of patience to do well in this business. When following a lead, you call and or e-mail right away and then you wait for a response. When listing, you gather all the information, ensure the … (2 comments)
I teach classical guitar lessons part time, and one thing that I have noticed is that for some students, I have to repeat myself two, three, or maybe even four different lessons for something that I am saying to sink-in. Finally if I repeat myself loud enough, often enough and long … (7 comments)
More and more homeowners are facing foreclosure. The fastest growing and more common solution for these homeowners is to sell their home on a short sale. As a Realtor who has dealt in both sides of the Short Sale Transaction, there are a few things that one should remember before … (18 comments)
I've had this poem posted above my desk for quite a few years - I'm not sure who wrote it (If you know let me know, please) but I thought I'd share it as we enter the fall markets. 
Today I am treating you to a story about my sweet, one-eyed, partially domesticated feral cat Squirt. I inherited him when my best friend passed away VERY unexpectedly while I was a guest in his home. My house was under construction, three months to go, and my friend kicked the bucket, … (9 comments)
Times are definitely tough right now so I though I’d send out a little inspirational message to everyone who is going through a tough time.
Last May in 2006, I listed an immaculate 3 BR 3 bath house. The seller had purchased the house in 2003 for about $220,000.00. Based on the sold comps, the property came in at about $295,000.00. The seller was happy with that figured and stated she would not accept anything less than the $295,000.00 … (11 comments)

The deal that would not close has finally... yep, you guessed it... 'come together' and closed [well, it closed in late May but was in stealth mode pending a press release and announcement by NAR, which finally came together today]. This deal is probably different than the average deal we all do every day but … (2 comments)
Today a guy in my office was feeling a little sorry for himself as the last few deals he was working on all went south for various different reasons and he was contemplating getting out of the business and finding a regular job. Then a girl in my office noticed his … (17 comments)
Does anyone have any tips on how to increase patience?
Related to finding buyers (for your seller's listing perhaps) and sellers (for future buyers), the agent is continually prospecting for listings in person or mailing owners of expired and withdrawn listings or "for sale by owner" letters, following up these letters with phone calls after determining if the potential client is … (1 comments)
I recently sold a home in Hollyglen, a lovely little area of Hawthorne, California that is “Manhattan Beach adjacent,” to one of my favorite clients, Warren V. Warren is a very analytical kind of guy, very smart and very thorough. He also respects the value of expertise, both mine and other … (0 comments)
Today’s tip doesn’t have anything to do with how to structure a deal, how to handle a transaction, or even how to talk to your Realtor. It’s all about learning patience.

With just a few days left until the holidays draw near, many of us are likely scrambling to make our final days of 2006 as productive as possible. Last minute deals, extensions, negotiations, listings, and of course holiday preparations. One word. Patience. If you are trying to close before the holidays … (5 comments)
One home closing 3 buyers later another testatment to having backups and perserverance. The sellers have been more than patient and moved out of the property when 21 days ago the buyer just got up from the table and walked out because he didn't like the bank terms he was reading. … (4 comments)
...From planted seeds. 
I have found that many older realtors in my area are short on patience when a buyer cannot qualify immediately or they have a small budget. I have found patience to be a great allie for me. Many buyers are great people who need a little help to achieve their dream. … (3 comments)
