HARRY’S OUT OF THE BOX SELLER FOLLOW UP LEAD STRATEGIES TO SELL MORE PHOENIX REAL ESTATE
 
I had to enter this contest because the only way to sell real estate is to think out of the box. Real estate agents spend a lot of marketing dollars to make the phone ring. Many agents attempt to close the deal on the phone like a true telemarketing professional. It amazes me how telemarketers ask us via the phone to spend dollars without researching the product to see if it works with your business systems. OK-that is another blog to be written at a later … (8 comments)

GOING FOR THE GOLD PHOENIX REAL ESTATE
 
Personally, I thoroughly enjoy watching the Olympics. The athletes train for years in order to perform on the world level for such a short time. However, it takes dedication and hard work to compete at this level. One must have vision for winning the gold in their minds to then putting it into practice at the games. What if you win a bronze? That means one is the third best in the entire world for that Olympic event. That is awesome. I take that same mentality when it comes to real estate.

Divorce is happening at record levels during these tough economic down times. Divorce is not a pretty picture for anyone involved in it. How does one divide up the money and real estate? I have been contacted several times to list a home involving a divorce. Many times the home represents equity to be split among the couple.
There are 3 types of listing agreements available to divorce couples when listing a home:

I grew up in the frozen tundra located in Buffalo, NY, as a kid. All I can remember that there were two seasons, summer and winter. We had some record breaking winters as a kid like the “Blizzard of 76-77”. I have very fond memories as a kid playing in the snow. Now, I thoroughly enjoy playing in the sun during winter months. Yes, I send pictures to my friends of me being at the pool in December while it is freezing cold in New York.

Real estate agents spending a lot of time and money to make the phone ring.I started my day off with a phone call see below:

PHOENIX REAL ESTATE GREAT TIME TO SELL YOUR HOME TOP OF THE MARKET
 
 
The Phoenix real estate market continues to heat up. The chart clearly shows that the inventory is shrinking and the number of closings continues to increase. We do not have enough inventory to keep up with demand. This means that average sales price in Phoenix real estate is right at $230,000 and climbing. That means it is vital to work with a real estate agent that has the experience to deal in this type of market.

HARRY’S TOP FIVE MISTAKES BUYERS DO TO SCREW UP CREDIT SCORES
 
More banks are looking at credits scores when approving mortgages. Banks are not issuing as many credit cards to people like they did years ago. Credit card companies are decreasing people's credit line and/or shutting down the card without proper notification. Many people are upset over this practice because now you are dealing with a person's credit score.
 
We have all been issued a three digit number which determines our credit worthiness. My grandmother told me to pay my bills on time and in full. That was wisdom to me. However, times … (8 comments)

I have represented many homebuyers in my real estate career. I consider the home inspection vital during the buyer's due diligence period when purchasing a house. The purchase of a home is the biggest investments people make in their lifetimes.  A home inspection gives the buyer a piece of mind knowing what one is walking into before signing one’s life away at title. The home inspector will develop a detailed report on the house. The Realtor and buyer will review the entire to see if the they are able to … (6 comments)

DO FIRST IMPRESSIONS STILL MEAN SOMETHING IN TODAY?
 
Do first impressions still mean something in today's modern society? Are you meeting your clients for the first time in jeans and shirt or shirt and tie? Does it really matter? Are people dressing more casual than before? Is it different for a man and woman when it comes to first impressions? What are you doing in your personal business?
