houses: MLS Championship (and I don't mean Multiple Listing Service)
- 11/27/07 12:49 PM
Stay with me here......... Well alas - after a trip over the holidays in which I left 21 minutes in to the MLS Championship after New England found themselves up 1 - nil, I set my Tivo and departed. While staying here in the US I wanted to stay clear of the final score to watch upon my return almost 9 days later. After having a great deal of fun in the 90's (and historically) at the expense of the numerous failures of the Buffalo and New England areas teams failure in their prospective professional sports loosing in their championships, I found … (3 comments)

houses: Logo and Slogan
- 10/19/07 02:31 AM
I know that this has been covered here in AR, although I am putting mine out there for your bashing or your compliments. I have had many people comment on my logo as well as my slogan - both good and bad. I have my back window of my car covered with them. I attach them to everything that I can - everywhere I can. Much like every other business. The comments that I get from the average consumer in my area are: They are great. They look great. The comments that I get from (some) agents are: Those are demeaning too the … (21 comments)

houses: For Sale Must = Available to View
- 10/18/07 01:57 PM
Are your listings or your home for sale or simply being marketed? As a buyers agent, one of the most frustrating things that I do, and my buyers go through, is the inability to view a home that the buyers truly want to see, yet the sellers attempt to "reschedule" the showing. This occurs WAY too often. I call in a group of 6 showings geographically staggering them - the first two between 3:00 and 4:30, the second two between 3:30 and 5:00 and the next two from 4:00 to 5:30. I will inevitably get a call back from the showing … (6 comments)
houses: Soccer in the US
- 10/18/07 08:16 AM
While many in the US are getting ready for the World Series, the World is looking a bit further ahead. While Soccer is still only the 5th largest sport in the US, it is the unmistakable leader in the world. The world is anxiously looking three years into the future to the 2010 World Cup to be hosted in South Africa. This is the stage for soccer. Anxious anticipation. Waiting it out. Soccer is the true sport of Anticipation with the finess that far exceeds that of Baseball. The World is willing to wait 4 years to see the greatest compete on the world stage. While the The … (2 comments)
houses: Soccer Enthusiast?
- 10/16/07 09:28 AM
Are there any Soccer Enthusiasts in the AR, or in the US for that matter? Soccer is the fifth largest sport in the US although #1 in the world and growing feverishly in the Frisco area. There are over 4400 participants in the local youth league, with only 1200 participants in Football (and that includes the cheerleaders). I know that the US is seeing a huge growth in Soccer among youth, but I am curious if there are any Soccer Fans in the AR community? As this is a growing sport, I would expect the next generation to know more about it, and … (9 comments)
houses: A Pergola?
- 10/02/07 09:59 AM
A question that can only be answered effectively by Rainers. A client of mine used an interesting term the other day in a context in which I had never heard. While standing on the rear porch, she made the comment, "this would be a great place for a pergola". To which I responded, "to where". She was amused. As was I. A pergola in my experience (real estate, construction, and even a few years as an Architect Major) was always a term used to describe a lattice style woodwork/covering over a 'walkway'. In her context, she was describing what I would commonly call an arbor … (4 comments)

houses: Do you have a Motivated Seller?
- 09/20/07 09:24 AM
Do you have a "Motivated Seller"? A better question is do you have a seller that is not "motivated". Does this get more or less showings? Does this get lower or better offers? Does this get offers sooner? Is this counter-productive for a seller who is trying to get the most for their home that they can? If you are a seller - what are your thoughts? Does this work? If you are a buyer, does this make you want to put an offer on a house you would otherwise not want? This word is popping up more and more as if there were some other type … (4 comments)
