THIS "TRUST" THING IS QUITE THOUGHT PROVOKING!! Roger is clearly in the camp of "Prove yourself and then you'll have earned my trust". Many of us are just the opposite, "I trust you, until you fail that trust".  Also, many of us rely on intuition based on experience.  "Listen to what they are rea...

THEY SHOULD FORFEIT THEIR EARNEST MONEY!! One reason many home buyers believe that they can lie about their qualifications is because their agent and loan officer manage to get their EM refunded when the deal falls apart. This is one reason I use a Buyer's Financial Sheet.  At the bottom it state...

New home ...

We have a number of the "MLS Only" listings in our MLS.  I've sold a number of them.  Of course, I provide the forms, arrange for inspections, title, settlement, etc. The seller pays an average co-op and my buyers get a very good house FOR A VERY GOOD PRICE. Home owner...

"I'M NOT SELLING MY HOME AT THE PRICE I COULD GET TODAY!" THAT is what I've heard from several of my new home buyers in the past 2-3 years. They rented and bought new homes with plans to keep the investment property until the market rebounds (I warned them it might take some time.) I'm working wi...

DANGER, DANGER WILL ROBINSON!! Rachel is absolutely right when she advises. . . The most important thing to remember when accessorizing is not to overdo it. My early exposure went a long way toward my linger scepticism of staging.  So many homes I showed were so over staged, one couldn't determin...
