In the real estate world, Having a good team to assist a Buyer is paramount. Each position in the Blog’s title, is equally important in achieving the goal of reaching the closing table. Trust, responsiveness, efficiency are all traits that need to be in tact between both professionals.Trust as the saying goes,Trust is earned, respect is given,& loyalty is demonstrated/ betrayal of any of these is to lose all 3.

buyers: The Smell of Success
- 04/19/13 02:13 AM
Home sellers do everything they can to make their house look as beautiful as possible, yet appealing to home buyers’ other senses can be just as important — especially when it comes to the sense of smell. While you may not think your home has a smell to it, freshening the air and filling the home with sweet aromas can do wonders in making a favorable impression. Most people know the old trick of baking bread or cookies to entice the noses of those looking around a home. That fresh bread smell is achieved by slicing open a large loaf of … (0 comments)

While the warmer months are generally regarded as the time for home sellers to get their property ready for sale, marketing the home in winter and early spring is just as important.

buyers: First Time Homebuyers
- 08/19/12 10:57 AM
I’ve recently had a flurry of activity in Buyers and their repeated questions about first time buyer opportunities. This, of course, is a great sign, in the real estate mkt. With Interest rates at “never been this low” situation, this is my first response to them. FHA and CHFA mortgage insured vehicles are the most popular with first timers. Rents are high given the supply and demand out there. A 1200/month rent can equate to a nice starter home purchase. So, obviously, it makes perfect sense that renters r out looking, which is exactly where this flurry of activity is being … (0 comments)

I’m sure that I am not alone with this question in this business of Real Estate. It shocks me that there are not more purchases going on, given the info in my subject Post. I can only relate it to the unfortunate current economic state with job losses. These real estate relations being in the state there in, certainly cannot last forever. Certainly there r deals to b had as the volume of properties are plentiful. The fortunate, or unfortunate, thing in the real estate world is the 3 “D’S” drive our biz/ death, divorce and debt. The latter 2 primarily, … (0 comments)

Well , we are in that time of yr again, already! Hustling, bustling as many Christmas song lyrics might say. The frequent question that is proposed is that of how is the mkt of selling a home within the holiday season? I wouldn’t be honest with myself or whom I was conveying this info to, if I said it was the same as any other time of the yr. It does certainly slow down, but on the other hand, the Buyers out there during this time are serious with their intentions. Homes, most times, present themselves in their very best with … (5 comments)
