westchester county real estate: Price OR Value OR Cost
- 09/23/15 08:58 PM
Price is ONLY a consideration when there is an absence of value. How much would you pay for something that had no value? You wouldn’t right? Let’s look at the psychology behind it…an item of value is priceless? Value is subjective. When we see that something is a value do we ask what it costs? Cost is key. What something will cost will be reflected in the price as it is related to value. All sounds confusing? let’s put this into perspective when searching for a home. A home is listed for $465,,000, that is the price; the taxes are $19,517…and this seems out of balance … (1 comments)

westchester county real estate: Realtor Be Aware...the Mindful Cafe
- 05/31/15 09:55 PM
Check your attitude, judgement and opinions at the door. Upon representing a client whether seller or buyer a neutral demeanor sets the tone for the first impression. Like many other first impressions it is what resonates in the client's memory and will remain throughout the relationship.
Not necessary to speak about your personal life with a client, they don't care what you did, where you are going, or how bust you are...it's about them not you. Your opinion is as worthless as a tiny folded up piece of paper...keep it to yourself or they may tell you where to stick it.
