I am working with a buyer on a property out of state. They were supposed to close on the 5th and it is now the 14th and we just received loan documents yesterday. The buyers are a bit frustrated to say the least. They were taken back a bit on the "details" and "fine tuning" needed to get this file to loan docs. I live in this world - I eat, breathe, sleep in this real estate world, trust me when I say this isn't any news to me! I have seen many things in my 12 years in the real estate … (0 comments)
real estate: Your Real Estate Team
- 08/06/13 04:43 PM
Your Real Estate Team What is the law of significance? Simply defined..."One is too small a number to achieve greatness." According to John C Maxwell, "You may be good, buy you're not that good." Why is that? Because greatness involves teamwork. Why is teamwork important? Because as one Chinese Proverb states, "Individuals play the game but teams win championships." Teamwork is important in most every aspect of our lives. Teamwork is important in families, in careers, in friendships, and in real estate too! Having a good team on your side is important to a successful real estate transaction. Who is on … (1 comments)

- 12/27/12 10:22 AM
Offers, Offers Everywhere in Sacramento County! Why are there multiple offers on properties today? What is going on in the real estate market in the Sacramento Area? A shortage of inventory is the problem. In this type of market it is imperative that you write a great offer. Just a short time ago I wrote another article about writing great offers. It is critical that your offer is clean and strong. It is not unlikely to have 40 - 50 offers on a home in the Sacramento area. There are just not a lot of homes for sale right now. To … (0 comments)

This is a lovely large one story ranch style home on 5.12 acres in the city limits of Elk Grove. This property is on the general plan and can be subdivided into 18 1/4 acre lots! There is room here for horses and livestock. There is also a huge built-in pool complete with an outdoor fireplace.
Yes, I Love You But I Can't Help You Buy That House! I can't tell you how many times I have received calls on my listings from out of area agents that want to show my property. Do these agents know my market? Do they know the neighborhood? Do they know about the schools? Are they aware of the rent controls in the neighborhood, are they aware of zoning restrictions? How can they represent their buyers knowing nothing about the area? When I got into the real estate business I was so eager to close a deal that I worked anywhere I … (4 comments)

I don’t play well with others! In my experience, not all agents have good manners! They don’t communicate nicely and some don’t communicate at all! Send the agent you are thinking about hiring an email, how quick do they respond? Or do they? Call a sign, do they answer your call? Leave a message, do they call you back? These simple little tests can give you a taste for what they may be like when it comes to working with you! I party at your open house! It has … (1 comments)

Sacramento County Home Sales - 15 Month Snapshot of Activity How's the real estate market? That is a question that I get asked nearly everyday.

real estate: Does your Realtor have what it takes?
- 06/26/07 04:59 PM
In January of 2006, Mike Pierce, aka Antarctic Mike, became one of nine people to start the Antarctic Ice Marathon. He lives in Southern California so who would have thought he could handle such a quest? How did he do it? He trained by cycling and jogging in a San Diego warehouse freezer that was 10 degrees below zero! He had to train in the environment he was to compete in! Now he's a motivational speaker on achieving success in the sales industry. One of his points is that you must differentiate yourself from the competition. Are you different than the others in … (0 comments)
real estate: Will You Cut Your Commission?
- 04/09/07 01:11 PM
How many real estate agents have been asked that question....will you cut your commission? When you go to a grocery store do you ask them to lower the price of your favorite cereal? Or better yet, do you shop for the cheapest architect or the cheapest dentist? Would you want the cheapest one or would you want someone who knew what they were doing? I would hope to think that the old saying still holds true, "You get what you pay for." 6%! What sellers don't realize is that 6% gets split up four ways! The listing agent splits with their broker and the buying agent … (8 comments)

- 04/05/07 04:09 PM
Hello All! This is my first attempt at Blogging....wish me luck. I have been reading a lot of different Blog sites to see what to talk about, that is my biggest fear...finding something of interest. REFERRAL! I became a member of By Referral Only about 2 years ago and I have learned so much. One of the biggest assets that I have in my business today is referrals. The quality of a client that has been referred is so much more than that of someone who hasn't been. Working with someone who wants to work with you, that already trusts you because someone they … (5 comments)
