Hello Everyone! My name is Mickey Mateo, and I am a Realtor from Milford Delaware.
There are many reasons why a house doesn't sell the first time around, but price is usually the number one reason. Most sellers do not understand the current Olathe real estate market well enough to price the home effectively on their own. And while an experienced Olathe real estate agent can … (0 comments)
How much home con you afford? How do you even begin to find the answer to that question? You've probably heard terms like "pre approval" and "pre-qualification" tossed around, but do you understand the critical difference between those two? If your answer is "no" then please read on to avoid major … (0 comments)
Like any investment vehicle Oahu Real Estate and Real Estate as a whole has specific terms like any investment that an investor will need to know. Very often sellers or properties will start tossing them around to see if a potential buyer knows what he or she a talking about. Be … (0 comments)
Being a Buyer's Agent for a short sale can be an opportunity to enjoy and learn business. My buyer asks me what my success rate is in getting properties for my buyers. That is an interesting topic. 
Your Sellers want to sell and the Buyers want to buy...so how do we get together in this economic time???
[REVISION 7/4/08 (original post 7/3/08): The purpose of this post is to educate the public regarding the value a GOOD agent will bring to the transaction, why their fees are justified and how to find a GOOD agent]

Burbank Real Estate & Homes for Sale (818)968-3718 by Burbank Expert & Bilingual Realtor LUPE SOTO, serving Burbank CA & surrounding areas of San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles County, CA.
I have always said that all realtors have the same tools for marketing homes as well as finding homes for buyers. If that is true then how does a potential buyer or seller choose a realtor? There are several things that differentiate Realtors form each other. The differences can affect how … (2 comments)
When choosing an agent to represent you what should you be looking for? Professionalism, integrity, skill yes they should exhibit all of these but what else?
Here's a great article from Inman News:

This is often misunderstood by consumers and it is up to the agent to explain the importance of an agency relationship. Consumers want to be sure that their agent is on their side and representing their best interest. An agency relationship is created to form a fiduciary relationship. 
Civil Code Sections 2373-2382, dealing with agency relationships in real estate transactions involving one to four residential units, became law on January 1, 1988. It states that any licensee in a transaction of residential real property of one to four units must disclose his or her agency. It's important to disclose … (0 comments)
There's an active discussion and differing opinions on when a REALTOR should amend the status of the MLS posting of a short sale.
Every goal-regardless of how complex or difficult-is nothing more than a series of steps that must be completed along a path, from one objective to another In todays' increasingly difficult economic times, selling a home is all the more challenging. The only way to a successful conclusion is implementing a comprehensive process, tailor-made to the … (0 comments)
DID THE LISTING ON YOUR HOME EXPIRE AND YOUR HOME DID NOT SELL? 
Good news! This morning, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported that existing home sales rose 2.9 percent nationally in February. What's more, existing home sales in the Northeast increased 11.3 percent. In addition, the median home price in the region was up 0.4 percent from a year ago. According to … (0 comments)

SC REALTOR specializing in Easley, Liberty, Powdersville, and Six Mile Areas!
To avoid the conflict of dual agency, some state laws allow designated agency, where a broker within a single real estate office representing both the buyer and seller can designate or appoint one salesperson as the "buyer's agent" and another as the "seller's agent" in a transaction. The role of the … (4 comments)
It's not easy to be a Seller's Agent in this Buyer's Market. And, while our agents really love to work as Buyer's Agents, it is not at all wise to pass up an opportunity to take a good listing.

An interesting article showed up today. "Feeling Misled on Home Price, Buyers Sue Agent," by David Streitfeld of the New York Times.
There is so much MISINFORMATION in real estate and so many rules/regulations/guidelines/etc. that people either know or don't know and eventually get confused about that it hurts my brain to think about it and certain things can actually IMPEDE me from helping Buyers/Sellers to the best of my ability. In this particulr … (5 comments)
I am expanding my instant e-mail notification system to include my clients who may be interested in keeping an eye on their Baton Rouge area neighborhood. This is a great program that will email you nightly any homes that come on the market in a particular neighborhood or area of town. The system … (0 comments)
In my last newsletter, I gave you some hard facts about how it is truly a Buyers Market. This week I want to talk about For Sale By Owner or as we call it in the trade "FSBO".

Today is a fabulous day in Westchase...our first signs of fall are here with cooler temperatures and a few falling leaves. The real estate market has picked up somewhat with more buyers pulling the trigger on purchasing, as well as more sellers realizing realistic pricing. … (0 comments)
Whether you have a home listed or are showing perspective buyers homes for the day how consistent, thorough and sincere are you when you leave feedback?
It seems as if I end up removing someone else's abandoned possessions from newly purchased property at the end of virtually every transactions. A bulky desk here, a playpen there, I volatility remove unwanted objects to make way for new homeowners.
Just to let you know up front- this Attorney that is representing the sellers has been called by myself and the buyer's Attorney for the past 2 weeks and NEVER returns a call. Every-time you call her office- you get her voice mail! I get a call this morning from the buyer's … (0 comments)
When showing homes I'll often have a buyer asking me what my incentive is to sell them a house. I'll spend a little time discussing "fiduciary" explaining that my interests are in helping them find the best house for them. Also, when I'm acting as a buyer's agent, I don't consider myself a "salesman" … (1 comments)
Now I know that YES as a Transaction Broker you may, but can you? As a Transaction Broker you have very limited liability and are suppose to be "neutral". (According to how most brokers think). Lets start with the listing presentation. You go out to the "clients" home and spend some time … (1 comments)
In the approximately 20 years that I have enjoyed pursuing my passion and career in Real Estate, there has been ONLY ONE constant when it comes to advertising a listing.
Agency law has changed on numerous occasions in Massachusetts over the past decade for the types of representation that can occur. I will try to break it down into its simplest terms for the laymen to understand.
Ever drive through a beautiful neighborhood and see the home of your dreams For Sale By Owner (FSBO)? What's the risk to you when buying a FSBO? Aren't you getting a better deal because you don't have to deal with those pesky real estate agents?
What is a Buyer's Agent?
A home properly priced and marketed will sell and it does matter if its a buyer's market or a seller's market -- right now, in most places in the US, it is a buyer's market which means, plenty of great homes to choose from.
CONFUSION
As an agent, when you are representing a buyer, do you recommend a home inspection? If so, I have a few questions.
Disclosure of Agency Relationship:
In this market --- and this one IS DIFFERENT than the recent past --- we all have to have that frank conversation with our sellers (and ourselves) about what it takes to market and SELL real estate. Some sellers are not really interested in selling their property. 
When I am having a slow month I try to go back to basics. Doing open houses for other agents to generate buyers, sending mailers, and calling FSBO's. Everytime I go to pick up the phone to call a FSBO though, I just get a pit in my stomach. It's not … (1 comments)
Yesterday I had a closing on a fantastic listing that I really enjoyed representing. It was a great cape-cod in one of my favorite Lansing Neighborhoods, Colonial Village. It was easy to show and the owners were a pleasure to work with. 
Whenever Gretchen heads home to Republic, Toby has a request.
As a seller do you think you need a large, nationally recognized real estate company to sell your home? Have you ever spoken with another seller who thought the same way only to be disappointed. Was the fee they paid worth the service they received? 
The word agency is heard all through-out a real estate transaction. Who is representing whom is key. Is your agent truly representing you? Are they representing the seller? What happens if you purchase a house through the listing agent? Who are THEY representing? Can they REALLY represent both the seller and the … (0 comments)
Earlier I posted on what a Buyer's Agent is, or is supposed to be. Today I want to go after Seller's Agency. Probably the most abused agency, in my opinion. Again, let's see what the State of Kansas has to say about what the duties of a Seller's Agent are.SELLER'S AGENTThe … (0 comments)

For those who don't know theses two words their meaning is rather simple. Affect refers to the emotional characteristics of interactions. Whereas Effect refers to a group of approaches that impact the process. I bring these positions forward due to a resent event resulting in the sale of a piece of … (0 comments)
A frequent thread in online conversations among real estate agents is whether confidential information disclosed by an unrepresented buyer to a listing agent (seller's agent) can or should be disclosed to the seller. Presumably, as long as the seller's agent has complied with his or her state's agency disclosure laws, confidential information obtained from … (1 comments)
For about 12 years there has been a law that requires REALTORS® to fully disclosure the working relationships and legal obligations between Agents and their Clients or Customers. The Brokerage Relationships in Real Estate Transactions Act (BRETTA) clarifies these relationships between brokers, buyers and sellers.
Now buyers agents can bid on how much of their commission they are willing to give away in order to get business. The web site is HungryAgents.com. There is more info in the Inman News article too.
I have recently been running into homes overpriced in the market. The market is changing from sellers to buyers. My buyers realize that. Now the buyers do not even want to put in an Offer to Purchase. They realize that they can just go and look for another home. Even though … (1 comments)
When it's time to sell your home, your biggest investment in your life, who do you want representing you?
Once again there seems to be quite a bit of confusion on the part of buyers who are under the general impression that they should not work with a buyer's agent. Much to the constant victory of listing agents an their habitual lighting of cigars with $100 bills. - Kidding It … (6 comments)
