Reserved Parking For "The Lovely Wife"...TLW...ROAR!

Blog Boy...

All I have left to say about this is of course...

Brutal...Baby...Brutal :)

Does this mean I won't be seeing my allowance this week? LOL.

TLW...ROAR!

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!  Do I have your permission to use your "paper tearing technique" when I get my next low ball offer?

I'm sooo glad there was no singing! Sad but true....:(

 Its only Monday, you never know! :)

Wow, Broker Bryant you should send that to Hollywood very impressive.

NICE ripping technique! Sorry that you didn't sell a house ... BUT .. Your singing mantra helped US sell one! not 2 or 3, but one. (Sorry, I do not have a video response to this one ... yet ...) (mango)

and ... you WILL sell one this week.

lol

Can I fax you a couple of mine to shred up too.....   brutal....   I just say brainless....   waste of my time.   Thanks for sharing...   Have a good day.

AND SELL A HOUSE DAMNIT!!!

Ha! Caught you...that's what you've been doing...making these cute little videos! Okay...it't Kamehameha Day...a holiday...and only three of us at the office...Randy, me and the agent we're trying to get on AR...she says after she comes back from vacation....can you tell how hard we're working??????  Have a good rest of the week.

P.S. I am an honest WooHoo....I did not go back an listen to the I'm going to sell me a house...  Noooo...oh, noooooo, Mr. Bill....Nooooooooooooo. haha!

Broker Bryant, I had missed your singing telegram.  You can moonlight writing lyrics for Justin Timberlake.  LOL

Sorry that you didn't sell a house this weekend =(

love it..typical day in the life of a realtor.

I guess I have waaaaaay too much time on my hands!!!! Hey tomorrow is another day. I did take another listing today though. So that's a good thing.

Ah, yes.  The "NO" counter.  The "it goes in the trash" counter.  Now you are getting it.

I am so glad that my blog could be helpful.

R

Rich I was thinking of you when I did this. You ARE rubbing off on me and that's scarey:)

Bryant, I think I'll follow your technique in dealing with low ball offers. Nah............not in this market in Ann Arbor. Very funny,

Since this follows "I'm gonna sell me a house" does this mean you didn"t

Boooo !!!!!

Bryant, I bet that felt pretty good, tho. And after a day like that, a beer tastes extra tasty and delicious. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Beear.

Hey I got a buyer contract today! All cash baby!

BB, I'm disappointed, what happened to countering???

Susan, Countering wouldn't have made a good video:)

Neal, bite me:) Oops sorry I must have been possessed by TLW for a moment.

LOL TLW, on your allowance!!! BB , I'm so sorry. You'll get it this week!!

Poor Karen...does she now you've made her famous?

Too, funny, Joan!

BB-  You've moved onto movies!!!!!!  And you tear so well . . . .  But aren't we suppose to present all offers? 

BB - Perfect, just perfect!! :) Sorry you didn't sell a house, maybe this week.........

keep the faith - it will happen

Loved the video. But I wanted to give you a head's up. Because you Enabled Embedding on You Tube (allowing your video to be played outside of You Tube), it doesn't matter if you own the material. It can now be used by anyone. And even when you Disable Embedding, You Tube will not enforce it's own Terms of Use if someone on You Tube decides to take your video, make changes to it and re-post it! Trust me on this. I speak from experience.

(If you want examples, let me know and I'll e-mail them to you) 

BB- Sorry you didn't sell all of those listings.  I basically took the weekend off, so needless to say I didn't sell a house either.  Working on that tomorrow!  :)

This was funny, REALLY FUNNY...

From one fellow realtor to another... I hope that signed seller rejection is in that file... you know how some of those agents can be  (R.E. 101 submit all offers... regardless of how ugly ~ ridiculous they are).

I could see a newbie getting the wrong idea from that video.   I PERSONALLY LOVE your BLOG post and enjoyed the late night entertainment, ...just not the singing  :-)

Broker Bryant - You have me in stitches - I wish I couldn't relate soooooooooooo much - loved the laugh therapy on a Monday!

I love the low ball offer. I just never get back to them. Then I just tell everyone else that we have an offer on the table and I bait them into an offer.

Frank     

Boy it's a hard choice.. singing or ripping.. both are  good.. Oh it would be such fun to tear up a really silly  offer in front of the agent...

Bryant,

I thought you were going to put it through the paper shredder and hold the phone up to the motor.  That would have been good too.  I sold a house this weekend, but with the climb in interest rates, we may have a problem.

It's all good and tomorrow is another day,

Fran

Fran is right, the shredder! 

I hope you sell a house this week.  You looked so sad, I almost cried.  :(

Hilarious!  Good luck this week!

Wow, the shredder would have been great!! Darn, it was about 2 feet from me too. OH well I made this on the spur of the moment, no thought, no script. Just cut on my camera and BAM got me a video.

DISCLAIMER: OK this video is HUMOR. There was NO offer, no Karen, no C21 just me and my warped mind. I present ALL offers to my sellers every time. No animals or children were harmed in the making of this video. I was not paid and do not endorse tearing up offers(no matter how tempting that may be). But it sure felt good doing it on video. :)

Gee thanks..Boy..I go away and come back wondering what posssed you to say that? Humm.

Hey Neal, Any vacation pics to post yet?

LMAO!  Brutal indeed, but you know me....I love your style!

BB, No Script and No Bloopers.. You are good! I'm impressed! Less then two weeks til I get to meet the two of you, looking forward to it!

Grapes anyone?

Awe, Man! Now how is that investor supposed to make $50K overnight like the TV commercial said?

Bryant,

You had me going for awhile!  I knew you would have the brass ones to do this but figured you to be too professional to follow through.  Glad I was right! 

Sure felt good though, didn't it?

Lucky :)

This one made me laugh, Bryant.  I've got to do more with video...funny!

Great post and video BB!  Put a smile on my face!

Glad you guys liked this one. I've been cracking myself up this week. Hey, laughter is good for the soul.

Quick question... would you take 146?

Me

I was falling for it up until you put the phone down. I thought you actually was doing business on video!

So instead of countering back say at $10,000 more than the asking price you opted out (sarcasm)??

You my friend are a funny man...but very entertaining!

Hey, you need to learn some new scripts.  Try one of these:  "Mr and Mrs seller your home has been on the market for 3 hours and we have an offer.  who knows when the next one will come in, and its not that bad, just go for it"  the first ofer is usually the best," or the ever popular "if you are coming short wa can ask the buyers to take back a note so you can payoff your mortgage and the selling agent's commission."

Funny you girlie girl sissy pants !!!!

Brilliant Broker Bryant!  Ithink you could be the next Steve Irwin of Real Estate- Kricky! Isn't she a beaut?  I look forward to your next broadcast!  Awesome!  You Rock Utube!

Are we all having fun yet? I think YouTube and I are going to get a long just fine. 

Hi, Bryant!

That was a satisfying dramatization of what one wants to do with a lowball offer.  I'm glad you didn't sing in this one--it wouldn't have had the same effect.  LOL Thanks!

Yolanda. It was gratifying:)

BB - Was the other agent all torn up over the response to the offer? :-)  So much easier to email the offer so you can just hit the delete key!

i hope you realtors realize that prices are still overpriced, and there is nothing wrong with lowballing.  You guys are in dreamland if you think we are still in the overprices market of 2005.  Its over, be realistic when you try to sell and tell your sellers the same thing. 

truth, good to see you back. You are certainly correct that values are down. In fact in my area they have plummeted. BUT, the truth is, when a property that was worth $225,000 has been priced properly at $189,000 a buyer is not going to get it at $145,000. They still need to do their homework or they will end up not getting a house. BTW this video is humor not truth. Not all homes are NOT overpriced, many are, but certainly not all. And that's the truth. Thanks for stopping by.

if demand is not there, value drops.  And demand is most surely dropping, which means prices should drop a lot, and not stay artificially inflated.  I understand you realtors don't want to lose money, but let's be realistic, if the market continues to fall, you guys will have no choice but to continue to recommend dropping prices, just to unload all that excess inventory.  Why not be a realist and accept ANY offers you can get?  With the sagging market, you may be sorry for thinking you can get 2005 profits.  So what, you lose 30,000.00.  What did the original owner pay for it?  DIdn't he make a 100,000.00 profit?  If you continue to be greedy, you will wind up losing even more money in the end, just holding out for an additional 30,000.  

Also, I have seen the charts about how the housing market has shot thru the roof, especially in regard to inflation, but in the end, prices went back to its original location with inflation.  Is there any out there who honestly think prices will go back up like it did in the past?  Or are you just saying that, trying to scare the buyer into thinking that if he does not buy now, he will be priced out of the market.   

truth, It is not up to REALTORS(R) to "accept any offer we get". It's not my property. Also you assume that houses were bought pre 2004. In my market almost all of the 1800 homes  on the market were purchased at the peak of the market and are now worth quite a bit less than the sellers originally paid. So with all your wisdom and market knowledge how about contact the lenders and have them agree to accept less than the sellers owe and then they would certainly be more than wiling to accept low offers. But the reality is they can't. Real Estate is way more complicated that you make it sound. One size does not fit all.
