A few weeks ago, I had one of those "feel sorry for me because the market is bad" days. I ran to my favorite coffee place and after a few sips of my favorite java, I decided to read through my old copy of Napoleon Hill's book. As I thumbed through … (5 comments)
I need to ask and cut through all the fluff stuff in real estate. Just the facts as Jack Webb used to say... In your area have real estate sales exceeded the same time period last year? Are sales rising or falling? List price sales price ratios what are they? Listing inventory and days … (10 comments)
Yesterday, I was doing a Feng Shui consultation in a client's home, a beautiful duplex apartment on Park Ave, in NYC. Gorgeous apartment.... except she had a clutter problem with pictures & books.

I received a comment on my blog We All Want to Feel Important from Miss Clementina Marie Giovannetti about winning a fabulous mansion in Ocala, Florida by simply writing an essay. There is a $200 entry fee for the best “Pet Lover Story”. Here are the rules:
Attention sellers, we are currently in a declining market. If you are serious about selling your home then it is critical that your Realtor understands the dynamic between the market trend and your home's value. Let me explain. The longer your home is on the market the lower the market value. … (3 comments)
As the Operations Officer of a large NASDAQ trading firm I got to watch some of the most exciting, eclectic Salespeople of the Century. Most were not school educated.

Judging by the phone calls I am receiving and the clients I work with, this new real estate market definitely has its upside: better real estate investors. The buyers I am working with now seem to be patient, cautious, and know more about buying real estate than.... well, me. And no, … (3 comments)

Military clients are different. I know. I spent 26 years in the Army and made 11 moves (PCS) myself. But I'm not sure that most Realtors can truly understand the plight of military members "on the move." For this reason, I thought I'd share a bit of information.

OPEN HOUSE. 
Once, not too long ago, when the real estate industry was young, the way business was conducted, (commission-split set up and no effective support/training for new agents) led to an office of unsupported, poorly trained low producing and low commissioned agents and high turn-over. But Re/Max ( read history) changed that.
When I created Alterna Virtual Tours, I did so with one ultimate goal in mind. At first glance you may just think the answer is obvious, to provide virtual tours to local realtors, home owners, and businesses. But the real answer is I wanted to create the ultimate sales and marketing … (2 comments)
That dark cloud looming ahead is not a mirage. The relative quiet and stillness of the moment is actually a vacuum building up dangerous power; when unleashed it could harm alot of consumers.
Hey, has anybody heard of NLP - neuro-linguistic programming, wikipedia defines it as:
My message box is filling up with calls from clients of other agents. The sellers of homes that I have showed are very persistent at trying to reach me for feedback. I recently wrote about "Sellers are calling before I even get out of the driveway..."

You may be familiar with the tired scammers listing and bidding on Ebay listed real estate. This fact is common knowledge.

REAL ESTATE FOR SALEAFFORDABLE HOME IN BRETTON WOODS!
Maybe you think you're selling houses, but that's not really it.
With the housing market being in the state that it is in, you could still survive by thinking outside the box. Learn about leasing and managing properties. Imagine the possibilities!

It is a buyers' market in Los Gatos, and a strong buyers' market in most of San Jose, California. There is an 80-90% chance that any given home that is listed will NOT sell this month. Even so, sometimes, you want or need to sell despite the market. If that's the case, what … (0 comments)
What is a stigmatized home? It is a home that has had something horrendous or extraordinary happen in it. If you can sell a home that has been stigmatized, you can sell anything. The home of Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski in Benedict Canyon, Beverly Hills is a prime example of … (6 comments)
