free comparative market analysis: Priced to Sell!!...Aren't They All? - 07/19/11 02:58 AM
Priced to Sell!!....Aren't They All?  And if they aren't, then there is a problem.
I chuckle a little whenever I have an e-flyer sent to my box that says "Priced to Sell!".  I always think to myself...what else are you going to put...priced not to sell?  I am not downing anyone's advertising techniques, and I may have even done that myself, although I don't remember it.  But let's think about that saying for just a moment. "Priced to Sell" If you are trying to sell your home in Cibolo, Schertz or Selma Texas, then at the risk of sounding like a broken … (121 comments)

free comparative market analysis: Did They Teach You That in Negotiating Class? - 07/14/11 01:49 AM

Did They Teach You That in Negotiating Class? "My client wants a really quick sale and closing so let's get this done".  This, a statement said to me a few times when I am about to receive an offer on one of my listings.  I am just wondering if this is taught in some type of negotiating or script class that I am unaware of.   Why do I ask, you ask? Well...the first time I had that said to me, I thought, great, should be a clean offer since they want it to be so quick and I was unpleasantly surprised by … (67 comments)

free comparative market analysis: How To Do a For Sale By Owner - 07/13/11 02:00 AM
How To Do a For Sale By Owner
Do it with a Realtor®!!   Listen, to tell you the truth, ALL homes for sale are For Sale By Owner. There isn't a home out on the market today that isn't for sale by the owner. In fact, it's kind of a rule we have to follow.  We can't put a home on the market unless we get the owner's permission.  So the actual issue is whether the owner is using a Realtor® or not. The folks I am talking to today are the ones who are not wanting to be represented by a Realtor®.  I truly wasn't kidding … (15 comments)

The Best Neighborhoods in San Antonio TX aren't even Located in San Antonio TX.
What?!  That's Right, you read it correctly.  The best neighborhoods in San Antonio TX aren't even located in San Antonio at all.  Now do not get me wrong, there are plenty of great neighborhoods located in San Antonio proper, but what you may not know is that although San Antonio is the big metropolitan, is located in Bexar County and has 18 cities within it, there are other counties and cities in very close proximity to it. Around San Antonio Texas and Bexar County are some different cities and counties that you might not … (9 comments)

  If you have ever had an interest in Guadalupe County Real Estate, (or any Real Estate for that matter), such as selling your Schertz, Cibolo or Semla Texas home, I am sure you have heard the term Comparative Market Analysis before.  Not that you haven't heard the term if you haven't had an interest in selling a home, but you probably pay more attention when you are.  You may have heard it referred to in other terms such as CMA, Market Analysis, Home Evaluation, Home Valuation and perhaps some other terms … (69 comments)

Does Your Guadalupe County Home's MLS Description Over Promise and then Under Deliver? (Updated!) Marketing Guadalupe County Real Estate is a very important part of what I do as your listing agent.  Among those things is writing a description of your home when I put it in the MLS.  Along with photos, a description can be one of the most important aspects of your marketing to draw potential buyers to your home...but... There is a very fine line between enhancing the description of your home and outright embellishing and lying about it.  Trust me, over promising and under delivering on the home … (12 comments)
