Zillow Hacked? Has your listing been HACKED?
 
I’m sure anyone who has an email address, social media account, or has spent any time on the internet has been the victim of hackers. 
 
These are sometimes nothing more than mischievous 12-year olds having fun at your expense, but other times these are professionals working on the dark web to hijack corporate or personal information. 
 
In an article published in the Washington Post, writer Kenneth Harney reported that a homeowner is sueing Zillow for $60 Million Dollars because the listing on that platform had been hacked and bogus low priced sales were reported in an attempt … (6 comments)

iBuyers - Big Mistake When You are Selling Your Home?As the real estate business evolves, we have seen many attempts to change the way we buy and sell our homes. On-line evaluations (as inaccurate as they are) have been around for a while but now we hear about iBuyers.
 
These are companies that will buy your home and just give you a check to walk away. You don’t have to deal with people touring your home, counter offers or many other details of a typical transaction. Just press a button on your phone and get some money for your house. How easy … (0 comments)

Nosy Neighbors - Part 2
 
In the last video I talked about the nosy neighbors that come around when you put your house up for sale and how to turn them into advocates for selling your home.
 
Well, today I want to talk about 
what to do when YOU are that nosy neighbor. 
Ya know, a really nice touch is for the realtor to schedule a ”neighbors only” open house. Maybe on the Thursday or Friday before the first official open house weekend. The neighbors are invited over for some refreshments and to have a look around. This is a neutral ground and lowers that … (1 comments)

Sell Your Home Fast - Sell Quickly and For The Highest PriceToday I want to share some information on how to Sell your home fast.
 
When you finally make the decision to sell your home, your goal should be to sell it quickly and for the maximum price. One thing I know about the Real Estate market is that the longer a property sits unsold, the less likely you will be pleased with the result.
 
 
Here are my guidelines for setting the value:
 
Price it correctly from the start! Don’t overprice it and hope for lightning in a bottle.

Biggest mistakes home buyers make when buying a home
 
My latest video talks about the Top 10 mistakes people make when buying a new home. Take a few minutes to watch this video and leave me a comment with other mistakes you have seen buyers make.
 
 
The number one biggest mistake people make when buying a new home is not getting pre-approved for a loan. Prequalify or preapproval means that you’ve spoken to a lender or mortgage individual and have given them information such as your income, expenses and tax returns, etc. and they’ve looked at your situation and have giving you some … (1 comments)

Author Bio: After many years of working in the sales business, I have chosen to dedicate my career to the real estate industry. In more casual terms, I have decided to build my business around helping people fulfill their dreams of home ownership with a very personal touch. Unlike many in this industry who "got their license to play around in real estate", I am committed to giving 100% to each and every customer. Buying or selling your home is a complicated process that requires the knowledge, skills and effort that a part time agent cannot provide. Whether you are buying your first home, moving up because of a growing family, relocating due to a job transfer, seeking that dream estate on the golf course or downsizing in the golden years, I believe it is my obligation to treat everyone with honor and respect and with the highest degree of service and professionalism. Feel free to call me to discuss your real estate needs. I promise that I will take good care of you.
