Another Day in the Life of a Centreville Listing AgentStarting this week, it looked as though a few of my deals that were slotted to close were having delays.  No one likes a delay, but delays are minor problems.  If a buyer can still close, but a lender needs more time, generally it is not a big deal.  Thankfully, the one actually getting delayed is not a problem for the buyer's move-in time frame.  She's got some over lap with her lease.  Meanwhile, the other deal seems to have settled back into an "on-time" track.  That means closing next week.  Today was all about getting paperwork for inspections to various people and meeting a plumber at my Centreville listing.  Lack of winterizing a hose bib last winter made it impossible to winterize this year.  Came up during the buyer's inspec...

Buyers Aren't Looking For Homes Before the Holidays, Are They? There are plenty of agents in my own marketplace that create self-fulfilling prophecy that there isn't anything that happens in the world of real estate between November and December.  Each year, those agents overlook opportunities to help buyers and sellers because their own perception is that the best time of year to sell is spring.  It's maddening.  November and December are fantastic times of year to sell.  Here's why: Only serious buyers are out and about "Home for the Holidays"is a strong emotional motivator for buyers Very few sellers think the holidays are a good time to sell, so those that do list have hardly any compeition for the serious and emotional buyers in the market place I still remember listening to an age...

Oh, I Don't Think So...Today I had the pleasure of helping a buyer client tour property.  For the first time since we had started this adventure in early summer, every property we found had possibility.  And out of the three, two of them were in the running for an offer from my buyer.  It was a great day.While I was hard at work taking care of my buyer, I received a call from a buyer's agent that insisted I give her a daycode to the Sentrilock box on my Centreville, VA listing.  It's an odd request in the age of the Sentrilock phone app, so I asked why she needed it.  Clearly, she had her cell phone.  She was calling me from it.  I'm not sure if her answer was born of pure ignorance or balls the size of grapefruits.  "I'm in Maryland and can't be there to let my buyer in.  He's right th...

House Hunting Amidst Cash Buyers?If you are a buyer scrambling for a home in our low inventory year end market, don't get to thinking you can't compete with cash buyers.  Buyers with little or no experience doing this, might feel like giving up if they heard from their agent that the listing agent had a cash offer.  Why?  What is the listing agent actually saying?Cash offers rarely do what they should do in a seller's market where inventory is limited and go in at or above list price with no contingencies.  Instead, these cash buyers somehow believe that there is some sort of magical in the cash itself.  These buyers will usually come in below list price.Since it is all cash to the seller, even a mortgage that may take two or three weeks longer to close, why wouldn't the seller wait for...

Staging a Vacant Home Gives Me Such SatisfactionNo matter what I have done in my life, be it straightening shelves when I worked retail or creating a newletter for the affiliates of the radio show I represented through Westwood One, I have always enjoyed making things look nice.  There is a little bit of an artist in me. One of the things that is great about my career as a real estate agent, and one of the reasons I love listing homes, is the marketing.  From staging a home to getting the online market right and direct mail postcards looking sharp, it all ties in to that artistically motivated part of my brain.  Yesterday afternoon I took the blank canvas of an upcoming listing and fluffed it with some light staging. Never takes much, particularly in a bedroom  or bathroom to make a dif...
