buyer: Why Hire An Agent to Help You Find a Home to Lease? Reason #3
- 11/05/10 04:39 PM
Buyers are encouraged to hire a buyer's agent, but what about our clients who are leasing? We need to encourage them to hire an agent as well, and I have seven reasons to support this concept. Here is reason # 3 - access to property information. Agents have access to the MLS, and agents understand how to look through county property information. Why is this important? Well, what if you the client are meeting with a guy who says that he owns the property and is ready to rent it out to you. He has not taken an application or provided … (0 comments)
buyer: Why Hire An Agent to Help You Find a Home to Lease? Reason #1
- 11/05/10 04:11 PM
Are you looking to lease a home? You should seriously consider hiring a real estate professional to help you with the process. While leasing a home does not require you to sit at a closing with an attorney, there are benefits to having your own agent represent you during the process. In this next series of posts, I will discuss what I believe to be seven reasons a client should hire an agent to assist him or her in leasing a home. The first reason is helping you with your home search. There are so many websites on the Internet that … (0 comments)
buyer: When Can I Buy A New Home?
- 10/06/10 07:36 PM
I had a client call me yesterday about selling her home. She closed on her current home a little over a year ago, and she got a great deal. The home was previously a HUD Home and in bad shape. An investor out of California has a relationship with HUD and purchases distressed homes, completes the repairs, and market them again to buyers within certain income guidelines. My buyer met the income guidelines, and eventually got into her first home own her own. It was the stuff I love. A single parent mother with two childrens moving into their first home. … (5 comments)
buyer: USDA Approved
- 10/06/10 07:15 PM
A few years ago I was quite surprised to find out that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) was in the lending business. Up until this point, I has only associated the USDA with the inspection and approval of vegetables, poultry, eggs and fish - items at my local grocery store. I attended a seminar hosted by one of my mortgage consulting partners, Pat Spencer,at Envoy Mortgage, and I learned that the USDA has a 100% financing, no down payment loan available these days. The USDA Loan Program has gotten lots of scrutiny recently in Congress but continues to be … (2 comments)

buyer: My First Time
- 08/31/10 08:14 PM
I was just taking a moment to reflect on my first client who led to my first closing. After spending a few months taking the sales agent pre-licensing class, taking the test at the end of the class, and sitting for the state exam, I was ready to tackle the world of real estate like no one else. I had already told three friends right before I started class that I believed real estate was for me. It was August of 2003, and I was armed with pocket card in wallet, an MLS login, and an Independent Contractor Agreement with growing … (4 comments)
buyer: Peace and Harmony
- 08/31/10 07:25 PM
One of the best ways to invite potential buyers to your listing is what we call 'curb appeal.' There is something so neat and tidy about a lawn that is freshly mowed and shubbery that is freshly trimmed. And a spot of flowers in two or three places in the yard just communicates life to the potential buyer. The details of the edging along the driveway speak of order in the yard. When I show a home with great curb appeal, my buyers are absolutely elated. Now the only thing that can derail this whole sensory experience is opening the door and … (3 comments)

- 08/28/10 05:33 AM
Last week, I was at an office in Georgia to pick up a birth certificate, and I struck up a little conversation with one of staff. She learned that I was in real estate, and I learned that she and her husband are planning to purchase a home for the first time. The one question she asked me that I get from a lot of potential buyers is "where do I start? I don't know what to do..." Well she done the first step in deciding to purchase a home, and I'm the next step in finding the right professional to help her get … (3 comments)
buyer: Goal Achievement
- 08/25/10 06:19 PM
At the beginning of the year, I set some big goals for myself. One of them was to be #1 in the city of Fairburn on AR. After writing this post, I will be #1 in the city of Fairburn. I still have several other goals to achieve for 2010, but it's a good feeling to get this one under my belt. Fairburn is a small town in South Fulton County, Georgia, with a population of approximately 14,000 residents. While the city has seen a tremendous amount of growth over the past three years, it still maintains its small town character. During the summer, … (0 comments)
