barb szabo: Planning on Visiting Some Open Houses This Weekend? Then Make it Worth Your Time!
- 05/13/09 01:26 AM
Although the effectiveness of open houses has long been debated, buyers still attend them. As a buyer, you may want to consider some of the following.*Before you step into your first open house, you should still be pre-approved. Too often, I think, buyers feel that they only need to be pre-approved when they start "seriously" looking for a home. Not true. The great majority of buyers that I meet at an open house have not spoken to a lender. If you have not spoken to a lender, you don't know what you can afford, and then you are simply wasting your … (4 comments)

As mother's day approaches I can only be awed by the blessing of the woman who is my mother.

Although they lived in cities about 35 minutes apart, they actually met in the United States. They each lost a brother during … (17 comments)

barb szabo: Sellers: Why Do Agents Contact You When the Listing on Your Home Expires? It's not Because They Have a Buyer
- 05/07/09 10:56 AM
A short time ago I contacted a homeowner whose listing had expired. I, along with a few of my fellow realtors, received a rather nasty e-mail from him. In it he said. "Where with you with all your buyers while my home was listed? Now that it's expired you want to list it."
So I'd like to dispel the myth that your listing agent is the one who should be showing your home to potential buyers. Not true! (It does happen occasionally but it is not the listing agent's primary goal.)
The listing agent's job is to drive traffic to your … (4 comments)

Last week I wrote a post challenging myself and anyone else who wanted to join me to try to go 24 hours without saying or doing anything negative (think someone cutting you off on the freeway!).
So last Friday, I made it my goal and my husband and daughter joined me. I did remind everyone in the morning what our goal was. I must say that I did well, although God gave me a really nice day without a lot of challenges. My day started at home as my car was in the shop. My Dad drove me there when … (23 comments)
