florida: Why bother with REO's?
- 11/10/09 12:37 AM
What is the use of showing REO's? BY the time you place an offer after it is listed they always have 10-15 offers. Your client gets excited and they even bid higher than asking price but don't get the property anyways. Buyer's now want to deal directly with the REO listing agent because they feel they have a much better shot at getting the home. I think there are some real ethical questions concerning inside information on REO properties. I have found it a lot better to deal with a regular listing and negotiate them down close to the price of a … (2 comments)
florida: It's getting a little bit better....
- 10/28/09 03:20 AM
As a Full_Time Realtor® for the past 11 years I never saw a downturn like the one we saw in 2007. For about a year and a half I couldn't get anyone to consider buying anything. The newscasts predicted that the market would keep bottoming out for some time to come. So everyone of my buyer's were just sitting on the fence. Well lately things have started to change. I have a lot of buyer's calling me that want to buy a home NOW. I have Realtors® in my office that have a lot of pending deals also. I hope this … (0 comments)
florida: Real Estate coaching
- 11/03/06 03:24 AM
I have heard from many Realtors that Real Estate coaches really work. I have never used a coach but am considering trying it out to see if they work. I know that some are affordable and others are very expensive.
I would appreciate any comments on this and any recommendations on specific coaches.
Thanks,

florida: Building bonds with Repair Technicians
- 09/06/06 01:44 AM
Why do Air Conditioners only break at night? It always seems to happen that if an AC is going to break it will always break after hours when no repair technicians are available and if you can get someone to come out it will cost you an arm an a leg. As a value added service to my clients I make sure to find repair technicians in every field that I can trust and refer business to. Over the years I have made good relationships with AC technicians, plumbers, electricians, handy man etc. I make my clients aware that I know people … (3 comments)
florida: My Sunday Thoughts
- 09/03/06 01:05 AM
The other day I was thinking to myself this buyer's market that we are in can be good or bad for Realtors depending on whether you are listing type of agent or a buyer's agent. A lot of the listing agents I know are having a rough time right now because listings are just staying on the market forever. I have a listing that just finally went under contract that I have had since March and another that doesn't even get shown at all since April. The listings are lower than previous sales and in great conditions. My other listings get … (6 comments)
