brenda mayette: A Great Listing Realtor® is Worth Their Weight in Gold
- 05/21/12 06:57 AM
I came across this post today and thought it was too good not to share. Did you know that you DO HAVE A CHOICE when it comes to agents. Selling a house is serious business and you should give SERIOUS consideration to who is hired... Check out Randy's tips for being sure you have the right agent in your corner (and if you have comments, please go to the original post. Randy deserves to see them!). I regularly hear stories of people who regret their decision when selecting their agent to list their home for sale.

brenda mayette: Your Home, Your Canvas
- 04/08/12 10:33 PM
My family & I had the pleasure of being hosted by my brother & his wife yesterday to celebrate Easter. They bought their home a year ago (almost to the day!). It was a smooth transaction and added another great layer to our relationship. The home they purchased was only a few years old & in a great location. In all honesty though, it was "blah". The sellers left them with a clean canvas that they have truly created a masterpiece on... How? First, color. In every room, beautiful earth tones now grace the walls. The color choices from room to room … (8 comments)
brenda mayette: Home buying lessons from the Superbowl
- 02/08/12 12:49 AM
Believe it or not, all of the recent excitement surrounding the Superbowl (the unofficial National holiday even for this non-football fan!) got me thinking about "shopping" for a new home. It's so easy to get caught up in the "glitz" with any major event... the commercials, the apparel, the yummy food. I see the same thing in some home buyers... "Let's find a house first and then sell", "Oh! The granite! Oh! The stainless steel!", "Look at the pool! The landscaping!!". These are all fabulous things BUT...it's really important to take a good, hard look behind the sparkles too. In the … (5 comments)

brenda mayette: Goodness in Glenville, NY
- 01/22/12 11:25 AM
It's been awhile since my last post and well... that's another topic for another blog. This post jumped to the top of list because, quite simply, it deserved to & I hope I do it justice as to why. A family in our area lost their home to a fire on Friday evening. What started out as just another day, anticipating another post-holiday weekend complete with to-must- dos and to-want-to-dos quickly turned into a life changing event. With everyone at their respective Friday evening activities, a quick stop home to let the dog out turned into that dog's safety net. The … (2 comments)
brenda mayette: Data Smatta.... Let's do it this way
- 10/17/11 02:03 AM
Preparing real estate purchase offers is an interesting part of the business. It’s when the rubber hits the road, true motivation is exposed & game play along with emotions can easily interfere with effective resolution. As an agent, when you find “the one”, here’s what I do to help you decide upon an initial offer: I run a 6 month, comparative market analysis of like homes… similar style, age & characteristics in the immediate area of THE home. The goal is to get an “apples to apples” comparison of homes that are in the active, pending & sold stage of the … (9 comments)

brenda mayette: Put the Client First and the Rest Will Take Care of Itself
- 09/08/11 02:46 AM
A fellow agent in Massachusetts recently posted this customer service philosophy piece that I couldn't have said better myself!! My goal is truly YOUR goal. My entire professional career has focused on helping people reach their goals. I have sold homes for $5000 (really!!) and for much, much more. My commitment is the same in each & every transaction --- to match the right property to the right buyer so that I am a welcomed visitor long after closing! And if you - or anyone you know - wants an agent who works like that, I look forward to our partnership! … (9 comments)
brenda mayette: Is Your Home Nose-worthy?
- 08/25/11 02:32 AM
Something in the air last night brought me right back to childhood... A nice summer evening with a tinge of fall brewing in the air. It was that smell that, as a kid, made me realize that the return to school was near. Ahhhh! The power of smells! If you're are trying to sell your home, do not underestimate the power of odors! Good smells... People generally respond well to smells of baked goods, cinnamon/spice, & "clean" smells like fresh laundry. Luckily there are many candle companies who have "bottled" this right up for us -- no baking or laundry required! :) Remember though, … (6 comments)
brenda mayette: Freaky Bug in the Freezer
- 08/17/11 07:47 AM
Imagine my delight in receiving the following text message today: "we caught this extremely freaky bug for kelly's bug project this year so if u c a bug in the freezer, that's what it's 4". What??? I didn't see a bug on the school supply list!!!
This got me thinking though... You never know what you'll find when you're not looking for it. Finding your new home typically isn't something that happens when your not looking... (although it HAS been known to happen). But how about checking out a home style that you might not have considered? Square footage can be … (9 comments)
