Another Uncool Thing that Realtors Do (or should I say - "that They Don't Do!")...
I try to post blogs with substance, for the most part.
Today - I'm just gonna vent.  Maybe it will get somebody somewhere who is a little less than diligent about updating the status of their listings to - - -
well, get diligent, man!
Maybe.
So, here's the deal - one of the ways I've been generating income in this bumpy economy is to put myself out there as a tenant's agent.  Rough work - as you all know, most renters are renters because they … (3 comments)

Time out to Play in The Snow - Hagerstown, Maryland
So, it's not news by now - y'all have heard we in the Northeast got good and slammed by a sweet, ol' fashioned blizzard, the kind they used to make back in the day, when I was a kid.
 
This weekend, I was supposed to show one client properties in Harford County and another client homes in Columbia, Maryland, and I was supposed to meet with one other couple here in Hagerstown to write-up a contract for a small lot.
But my Creator had other ideas in mind for me.

maryland real estate hagerstown baltimore howard washington frederick carroll agent home rent buy sell columbia ellicott david lidz advantag: Okay - so how LAME is it? - 12/13/09 03:32 PM
to blog without real content?
I mean, just every now and then, to kind of put up some fluff just to keep up with the AR points game, if for the most part all your blogging is otherwise pretty serious?
On a scale of 1 to 10, how lame is the occasional BS blog?
Now, be honest - have you ever done it?
Or what about the lame-o comments on other people's blogs, just to get your points.
Y'know, the "nice blog"'s and "right on!"'s
Confess.  Done it?  OF course you have.
Not that I'm saying I have.  I'm new - … (11 comments)

Isn't it ironic?  No, it's just capitalism. So, round and round the Free State (that's Maryland - wikipedia it) I go, doing my BPO's. I suppose I need to do a blog one of these days on BPO's - "broker price opinions," but I think I said enough for you to know what they are in my last blog.  Basically they're mini-appraisals, but don't tell your appraiser I said that.  The appraisers would rather the banks that hire me the capital "R" Realtor® to do these mini-appraisals for $50 or $75 or $100 instead pay them the capital "A" … (0 comments)

Foreclosures - the word on the streets.
 
Today I inspected a foreclosure down in the Franklin Square neighborhood of Southwest Baltimore.  The property was supposed to be vacant, so, imagine my surprise when after letting myself in the front door, I heard voices chattering away in that familiar Baltimore accent, somewhere in the back of the house. "Hello!"  I shouted, as I entered the empty living room, but the voices kept a-chattering away, oblivious to my intrusion. Actually, I was not that surprised at all.  I have been letting myself into foreclosures now for 10 years, … (0 comments)
