rent: Divorce and the prospective tenant: who needs furniture anyway?
- 10/30/11 07:52 AM
Divorce and the prospective tenant: who needs furniture anyway? Divorce and the prospective tenant: who needs furniture anyway? It's probably happened to most of us... A prospective tenant (or buyer) calls us up to discuss a property on the market, and we do whatever degree of screening or pre-qualifying our office policies prescribe. We may tell folks that our application process involves a credit and criminal check, employment verification and verification of rental history, for example. "Well, I've got great rental history..." comes out of their mouth before you finish your sentence- and you know that can't be good. Now, it's "Game On!" … (0 comments)

rent: What can apples teach us about business?
- 10/16/11 11:24 AM
Well, I decided to break my dang "one re-post a week" rule and re-post this great one of Mike's. It is my rule, after all- so I figure I can break it if I please...accepting the consequences I might suffer from myself, that is... There are a number of analogies and correlations between what happens in the real world and what happens in Realtor-land. One bad apple can indeed spoil the bunch- and in the workplace, that can be that one disgruntled employee that decides to stay on that can be a vicious cancer ravaging your organization. Survival of the fittest comes into … (2 comments)
rent: He ain't paying his mortgage, I ain't paying my rent
- 10/15/11 06:41 AM
"He ain't paying his mortgage, I ain't paying my rent" I hear this more and more these days... it's been building for the last couple of years- but the "movement" has been catching on and it seems like few days go by without me hearing something of the sort. Tenant: "Dennis, I just got served some papers. Looks like the owner of this place is going into foreclosure. If he ain't paying his mortgage, I ain't paying my rent." Tenant prospect: "I have a great job. My credit? It's fair- not too good, not too bad. My rental history? Wellllllll...I've been … (20 comments)
rent: Can you lose something you never really had?
- 09/23/11 06:14 PM
Can you lose something you never really had? The feeling of loss is a real tail-kicker. Everyone's loss is different, but everyone's is the same. There are a few different kinds of butt-kickin's- but when the kickin' hits home, it's still the only tail-kickin' in the world that matters to you. My tail-kickin'....err...loss? I lost 18 properties today. Eighteen properties that I could have taken under me/my company to manage, lease, etc. Lost 'em. And with a buh-bye that came along before a howdy. A Regions bank officer in my BNI group (thank you ActiveRainer Jeremy Wrenn for the info on BNI) had given … (26 comments)
Localism Challenge, Day #21: Inventory's shrinking, prices rising- it's time to make your move A recent column from the Orlando Sentinel's Mary Shanklin points out some encouraging signs for our local real estate market here in Orlando. Schools are open- and Economics 101 is in session: inventory is shrinking and prices are rising. When the median sales price in July exceeded the previous year's median by 6 percent, it was the first time in four years that the local housing market had managed a year-over-year gain … (2 comments)
rent: Why Should a Landlord Pick You?
- 09/20/11 08:59 AM
Michelle has a great post here. As I mentioned in my comment to it, I usually only re-blog one post a week (even giving it the catchy "Dennis Burgess' Re-blog of the Week" moniker), but I saw a great one to start the week and found this one of her's as well. If a tenant prospect has great credit and great rental history, I'm happy as heck. Great rental history and fair credit: Not as good, but not pitiful. Great credit and poor rental history: Guess what? Rarely happens. As a matter of fact, I can't really think of a time … (2 comments)
rent: 10 Things You Can do To Prepare Your Home for Sale
- 09/19/11 07:38 AM
Donna has a gret post here, and one that translates over to the management/leasing side of life as well. Owners must remember that tenant prospects have choices as buyer prospects do- and it's still a beauty pageant, folks. Clean places rent quicker than dirty, smelly ones. Ones free of clutter rent quicker than cluttered ones. Owners need to remember that they're not going to be living there anymore- so their "special touches" don't mean anything to prospects looking to make some place their new home. I always tell owners that one of the- if not the most important part of the … (0 comments)

rent: "Will you take me to Wal-Mart?"
- 09/10/11 06:31 AM
"Will you take me to Wal-Mart?" I learned not to use or speak in superlatives a long time ago- so I won't say this is the craziest thing that's ever happened to me during a showing. As a matter of fact, I can think of a couple that might beat it right off the top of my head- but it's close... I was taking some clients around to see some rental properties, and we had been at home #5 of 5 for a few minutes. The client's father and girlfriend were on the other side of the house, and he and … (3 comments)
rent: STOP Over-Pricing Your Home For Sale... "You'll Catch Many More Bees With Sugar Than Vinegar"...
- 09/03/11 05:05 AM
Great post from Phyllis here- and one I appreciate being able to re-post. The key, of course, is to avoid time on the market. Any time on the market means a seller is typically paying a mortgage he/she doesn't want to pay. Maybe they're eager to get out of a house they're in and into another one- hating to pay the tab for the place they currently call home. Maybe they've already left a home behind- and now they're paying the mortgage for their new home- while trying to pay the one on the house that's become "yesterday's news" to them. … (2 comments)
rent: Why Incoming Links Are Important To Your Web Site! And How To get Them!
- 08/27/11 04:52 AM
It seems that just when you think you have a handle on the ol' SEO thing, up pops something else that will help you be even more successful and/or increase your exposure. I read a great post of Rebekah Radice's last night that I'm still sorting through- one that tells how to expand the "'net awareness" of our blogs and such, and I believe this post of Phyllis' is yet another one that will help me get "out there" more. I hope it helps you as well.
This is worthwhile reading if you are trying to improve the … (8 comments)
rent: Honesty Begins At Home
- 08/22/11 10:42 AM
Honesty Begins At Home They say that "charity begins at home". I believe that, and know many others that feel the same. It's nice to have a kind heart and want to save the world- but you have to first get your own house in order. And how about this one: If you don't know how to swim, don't jump in the pool and try to save someone else that doesn't know how to swim. Honesty is important, too, you know- and as with charity, it should begin at home...or with homes. Sellers: Be honest with yourselves. Don't waste an agent's … (4 comments)
