Tips and Opinions

Weekly Tip: Shop local.
Instead of allowing your buyers to feed black-hole, “too big to fail” banks, encourage your clients to do business with community banks. These local alternatives are more helpful and reliable than larger institutions

 

Comment of the Week
"Your reputation as an agent can’t be overlooked. Meet listing agents, build rapport, always return phone calls. Be sure to call the listing agent to let them know an offer has been sent, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve received offers from buyers agents and they never bothered to tell me they were on the way." -Spizzi Real Estate on
Advice for buyer’s agents
