Double Contract - Strawbuyer - Illegal Commission Agreement. WOW what a Listing Appointment! - 04/30/08 05:30 PM
Wow what a listing appointment.
The listing appointment phone call came in. I do the usual routine and go over there and meet them. They give me their story, however, this is a story that makes agents look awful. They bought this home a year ago and the agent they bought it from had an entire plan on how they were all going to make good money. Buy it in April, Refinance the home right away. Put the home equity line in a savings account and make payments on the home from the equity line. Then, sell the home and we all made … (12 comments)

Did you have a recent conversation that made you feel UGLY after? - 04/24/08 07:54 AM
I felt justified and was in the right...SO WHY did things go downhill...why did things not feel good? When was the last time you had a discussion with a friend and it ended up making you feel ugly?
One of the Laws of Lifetime Growth according to Dan Sullivan is Making your Learning Greater than your Experience.
This has been my motto. Everytime I encounter something that was uncomfortable, frustrating, offensive, or I became defensive, I will ponder on what I want the ideal result to be. I will figure out why things didnt end up being harmonious so that I can avoid UGLY … (8 comments)

ABOUT THE GRAPH:
As you can see Salt Lake has hit an all time low for sales. The reason why this has happened is largely due to the loan credit crisis. Loans have changed and many of our clients that … (2 comments)

Im Rubber, You're Glue! The Adult version of the Childhood Secret. - 04/20/08 11:41 AM
Im Rubber, you're glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you!
You know the little childhood sayings and games that were played when we were younger and possibly still today. The whole purpose is when someone said something bad about you....it bounced off you and stuck to them. So the person that was saying something bad actually was calling themselves bad.
The awakening of a student to use it as a positive reversal.

Zillow in Utah; Why Zillow may be accurate in other states but NOT in Utah! - 04/18/08 01:22 PM
Zillow has become quite popular for many people looking up to see what their home is worth. But is it accurate in Utah?
Utah is a NON disclosure State while other states are Disclosure states. What does this mean?
Many other states have laws that require when someone sells their home that they have to report to the state what the home sold for. This is called a disclosure state. In these states Zillow can pull off information from the state records and come up with a fairly close method of knowing what homes are selling for in that area.

Home didnt sell? 7 Major mistakes Agents make when listing a home for sale. - 04/10/08 04:12 PM
Did your home sell?
There are major mistakes made when agents list a sellers home across the MLS. We are going to go through all of the most common mistakes.
1. Pictures not properly placed. On the MLS there are 2 places to place pictures. One is through what is called "Property Tour." The 2nd place is a direct upload to the MLS.) For instance if an agent does a property tour but doesnt upload to the MLS there are many sites that wont show the pictures. www.UtahDave.com understands this and has both the uploaded pictures and the property tour.

Have you ever had someone promise to do something...and than when you ask if it was done they say "Ohhhh things have been really hectic, things have just been crazy."
