Leaky Toilet
As a real estate investor, my normal maintenance issue includes air conditioning and plumbing. In southeast Louisiana it is mainly air condition issue. On occasion plumbing issue do arise. When plumbing needs need addressing it usually involves the toilet. A license master plumber is about 100 - 150 per hour. I often find it cheaper to just change out the toilet with a Home Depot special toilet in a box for 79.99. For some quick tips on how to problem shoot a toilet go to This Old House website.

What would Happen to Your Property Value if Your local Country Club and Golf Course was to Close?Destrehan, LA. by Frank Rubiwww.7824.com
If you're in the market for country club living and looking for Homes for Sale, ask if the seller belongs to their local country club. Property owners seem to always want to mention the view of the course when selling their home. My take on this matter is if you want to continue improving property value and increase your sale ability of the property considered joining your local club. Secondly, my thought is what would happen to your property … (2 comments)

Is the quality of Real Estate Agents slipping?
I am finding a large amount of agents not pushing to close deals. In the real estate business for over twenty years and personally as an investor I think we are seeing a new type of agent evolving. Gone are the days of returning calls and given out business cards.
First of all, agents do not like to give out their business cards. More times than not I find myself asking for a business card after I have given my business card. I was taught when you give something you expect to receive something. Think … (14 comments)

What do you wear to your closing?
Many post have been written about how agents dress. I agree you should complemt your market. Now, with this said how you dress when going to a closing. I have attended closing where the closing attorney and I were the only ones dress with shirt and tie. I feel real estate closing is ceremony. We as agents should look our best. This is just my opinion. To me this lets the buyer and seller know we are professionals or at least look like one.
There was a recent closing where the listing agent was in jeans. … (8 comments)

realtor: Difficult Sellers
- 04/06/07 12:12 PM
How do you handle a difficult seller?
How do you handle a seller who wants full asking price offers only? I have a seller who does not want to even hear about an offer that is just short of full asking price.
To top this one off, the wife wants the house only shown if she has had time to clean up. Preferably on her days off from work.
I will have a heart to heart with this couple shortly. Do you have a story to share.
