I've watched numerous deals close and numerous deals fall apart. They come, and they go. It's reality.
Great house in great condition. This interior corner has a lot of space for family, pets, & entertaining. 
There seems to be a disagreement about when to deposit the buyer's initial deposit check. 
If you have found yourself in desperate times and possibly upside down in your mortgage, your best option might be the short sale to sale your home.

Sellers, how motivated are you?
Does this really make sense? It does to me!
I started reading the news reports this morning regarding the housing market. After about an hour and a half I found that I had read so many conflicting reports that my head was spinning. Real estate is my profession, and if I am confused then I cannot imagine how confused the average … (1 comments)

In the world of real estate, Days On Market is the number of days between when a home lists for sale and when it goes under contract. It is often abbreviated as DOM.
This week at the company meeting a fellow Realtor told this story. She had a listing that was due to expire within a week. Her seller notified her that they had 3 appointments in one day and had 4 more scheduled this week. The fellow Realtor thought this was wonderful maybe … (5 comments)

How do you do this . . . typically through great communication. 
Well it is that time of year again when thoughts of Spring turn to working in the garden and on the lawn. I thought everyone might be interested in seeing some great pics of Spring in Bloom in Dundalk Maryland.
New Post on Sellers using Web 2.0
I think there is one thing that many real estate agents... and many sellers... forget when building a marketing plan for a house. 
A closing is the meeting where title and money are exchanged between the Seller and the Buyer, and the sale of a home is finalized.

I sent some listings to a buyer yesterday and just heard back from him. There was a home in the mix that sounded (from the Realtor comments) just about right for him. His response: "No, because there is only one picture". His sense was that if the only picture was of … (1 comments)
The Sacramento home buyer looks for curb appeal when driving by the Sellers house. The outside of the home reflects to the home buyer what the inside might look like.
As I research and study the market, I've noticed several trends;
FACT: Lead exposure can harm young children and babies even before they are born. FACT: Even children who seem healthy can have high levels of lead in their bodies. FACT: You can get lead in your body by breathing or swallowing lead dust, or by eating soil or paint chips … (0 comments)

He who hesitates, misses opportunities. As a real estate broker, REALTORS should instruct their clients that this is the time to buy and sell. Low rates, that renting is throwing cash in the trash. In Northern Maine we still have snow on the ground, and it is easy for a … (4 comments)
I just read a great blog entry by Ki Gray (a Realtor(R) in Austin) about why he as a listing agent prefers to work with Buyer's who have a Buyer's Agent.
Every day is a new day when reading articles in the newspaper. It amazes me how creative individuals are when seeling / listing their homes.

Yesterday, in our team meeting, alot agents expressed concerns about the motivation on their clients whether to buy or sell their homes.
I like what David Knox says, "sellers can SELL or they can STAY" it's their choice.
Social Networking is the key to the next generation of marketing. You heard it here second,we spend so much money on mailings,cards, gifts and web sites and now we have the advent of social networking. A site like ActiveRain is a huge help in getting your name out there but more … (1 comments)
Paul Slaybaugh wrote a gritty thought-provoking post about 180 day listing terms. This is not a rebuttal of Paul's thesis. Rather his blog afforded me the opportunity to present My Manifesto of Marketing Mortality. 
Well. let's see... 
I know I can't win them all, but I try my best to achieve that.

An agent says a Seller is "eager to sell." The buyer said what does that mean? Some may see desperation of the seller others may see an opportunity for an easier negotiation. In either case, I of course had my interpretation and advice for the buyer. 
A while ago like maybe a couple of weeks ago I had planned on going fishing on Big Sandy Lake, with a friend on Friday. I had a scheduled appointment for that next day on Saturday with a new client who was referred to me by a friend at the local print … (0 comments)

The St. Louis Real Estate Market this week continues in our usual Spring trends with increased active listings, a pending ratio very close to 16%, and our average list prices just inching up slightly.

One of my recent post below discussed the importance of your home making a good first impression on the prospective buyer.

The market is definitely harder for the FSBO now, and that's good news, but the bad news is that the "Do-It-Yourself" mentality is still alive and well in the U.S. We all suffer from it. Sometimes it's a need to save money, hoping that the bottom-line will be higher if we … (1 comments)
As a Home Stager to often I see homeowners, who are now sellers, scrambling to cram all home repairs and updates into a short time frame.

Whether you are selling your home or you have inherited a home that needs to be sold, one action item worth considering is a pre-listing home inspection. Many homeowners are surprised to find out that they have a defect such as mold in their attic or faulty wiring in their homes. … (0 comments)
When I decided to expand my real estate assistant services to agents other than those in my immediate office, I didn't know that I would be entering an "industry" of virtual agents with certifications, designations, and everything else you can imagine that has a $ sign attached to it!
Why is it so hard for some Realtors to put information in the MLS about their listing? Does it have a new roof? New Heat and Air? Is it a split bedroom plan? Has the kitchen been remodeled? Why don't you put the answer to these questions in the listing detail? … (10 comments)
