keller homes: NBC, Today Show and Barbara Corcoran
- 06/03/11 03:48 AM
A few days ago, Barbara Corcoran was on the Today show discussing how you should be wary of "tricks" agents pull to hide information. Although they will not read it, nor respond to it, I sent the following message:
Barbara Corcoran was on the Today show this morning and reporting "ways Realtors Hide Facts"--As a realtor and Broker, I take exception with her comments. We are bound by ethics rules with stiff penalties if we hide some of the things she discussed. We have guidelines and are bound to disclose all the facts. As a whole, Realtors are ethical, honest (3 comments)

- 10/28/10 09:39 AM
Selling your home? Think Safety First! Listing your home with a reputable Realtor is one of the safest things you can do! For Sale By Owners are subject to drive-bys, tire kickers, and lookie loos. If you are a FSBO, you have no way of knowing whether the prospective buyer is a qualified buyer or just a bored person who has nothing better to do than tour homes and open houses. I know that lots of agents hold Open Houses, but the statistics don't show that many homes sell because of one. That being said, here are some common sense ideas for (0 comments)
keller homes: Why do you need a realtor?
- 10/20/10 09:13 AM
Recently, a friend decided to buy a FSBO without the aide of her trusty agent/broker. She and her husband found a home, negotiated the deal, put the earnest money down and then moved on to the inspection. The inspection revealed many problems and they decided to terminate the contract. The seller was very angry and refused to sign the release for earnest money--mainly because she was outside the 10 day option period. She thought it would be ok, since he wa a very nice guy. Several days of angst passed and finally they did get their money back because the lender refused (3 comments)

keller homes: Doing Whatever it Takes in a Challenging Market
- 09/17/08 05:35 AM
In this market, I feel like I have to be ready to do just about anything to keep a deal together. Recently, while participating in a difficult set of transactions, that I thought were almost complete, I was called by the title company to advise me that the buyer had not shown up for closing. It was late in the day and I was pretty reticent about calling the sellers and letting them know that one more thing had gone wrong and that they would not be moving over the weekend after all. While speaking with the buyer's agent, I learned (3 comments)

We have been blessed, here in Texas, to not have been affected as much as the rest of the country by the economic downturn. Our property values remain pretty steady and growth of of around 2-5% is good for us. Some areas, certainly grow faster, and others seem to never move much in their values. But, all in all, we don't have the peaks and valleys. Investing in Texas real estate has been growing with the West Coast investors looking for a place that their investment dollars are relatively safe.
