Don't Want To Mow Grass? Consider A Condo Or Coop - 03/30/10 06:56 AM
Some of the things important to remind first time home buyers of is that they will be responsible for fixing and paying for everything that needs repairs with the home - roof, plumbing, electric, appliances, etc. After living in apartments or in other types of rentals where the landlord took care of most things - these realities can set in pretty hard for a new homeowner. And then there is the yard - it's up to the new owner to maintain not just the house - but the yard!
There are some people that just hate yard work and will not do … (12 comments)

Keeping Up With The Big Dogs! - 03/26/10 07:30 AM
I am SO thrilled to be working with regular or first time home buyers that past month or so! Some have cash, some mostly cash, some need FHA. These regular Buyers don't have much money but they have a lot of heart and desire to be a first time Home Buyer. Excited they look at home after home, the know they can afford it, they know they can fix it up as they go and they know it's perfect! Unfortunately, investors are also looking at these same properties in the Buyers price range.
So - here's usually what happens after they "fall in … (12 comments)

99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall ... And This Buyer Wasn't Passing Them Around. - 03/17/10 06:08 AM
"American law, relates competenceto the mental capacity of an individual to participate in legal proceedings, such as medical treatment, make contracts, handle financial dealings and other personal matters." Defined by Wikipedia Dictionary.
In Arizona, for someone to enter into an agreement to buy or sell a home, the contract states the individual must be competent. But there is no checklist for real estate agents to determine competency. It appears to be a judgmental call and most times, we can determine if someone is in good mental capacity to sign a contract.
Enter the client who appears to be drunk - all … (61 comments)

Romeo & Juliet? No! But If Pick Your Poison Carefully You Get To Write The End Of The Story! - 03/12/10 05:36 AM
With a post last month - I never really got an answer as to why this particular "expired" seller was rude. Motto: be nice and people will be nice back right?!! Anyway, people are rude and sometimes, we never know or even find out why. If people are extremely rude, it can feel like a dagger in your heart.
But it's life and how someone acts is their problem - what matters more is how you react to people. Pick your poison - be nice or be rude back. I ended that call nicely.
Spending time wondering "what did I say - why was he … (10 comments)

What's Your Range Price Saying About You Or Your Seller? - 03/11/10 06:02 AM
In the past, range price listings seemed to be the "thing". From time to time, I still see them on different types of properties.
Over the past month working with first time home buyers (FTHB), we've had ups and downs:
Write offer on a short sale that list agent says, "It's been approved - can close fast". It did not. Offer approved after highest and best. Then the City of Tucson's "neighborhood stabilization program" offer comes in that trumps all other offers. (This is the newest seemingly mis-used program that is frustrating Tucson buyers of recent.) "19 offers are on the table" … (11 comments)

All Work & No Play Makes Me A Dull Blogger! - 03/08/10 05:45 AM
It's just about 4:30am and usually I'm up blogging and commenting on other people's posts. Lately, I have been only been able to put up a few photos and comment here and there.
I miss blogging. I miss my blogger friends and having time to read all the incredible posts that I am sure have come and gone over the past couple weeks. My "favorites" folder will soon be to capacity as I save many articles in hopes of coming back to read them another time.
Certainly I am not the only one who gets swamped (happily and luckily and counting my … (13 comments)
