- 02/27/10 12:49 PM

But now, there is a new phenomenon to capture buyers' dreams and expectations of profit - half-finished homes for sale: bare-stud, bare-yard houses abandoned by their builders. Purchasing a partially-built home is nothing new; lots of buyers do it as they sign new-home contracts before even a slab had been poured. However, now, the builder may no longer be … (7 comments)

I just looked out my front window here in Bethesda Maryland, and it is snowing again.

It is beautiful outside in the snow and the weathermen are calling for 4 to 6 inches by early tomorrow morning! Oh well, it is going to snow - or not- whether I fret about it or not.
My front window also looks out on my empty garden, now covered … (6 comments)
bethesda chevy chase buyer: I Turned Down the Chance to Make Zillions Today
- 01/28/10 02:52 PM
Last week I got a phone call from some minion asking if I was interested in becoming an affiliate of a company running auctions. Since I was only listening with one ear, and this voice of the phone was only polling me for interest in further discussions with someone else up the food chain, I said "Sure, have someone call me back." I hung up with very little clue about what had just happened or why someone had called me. Today, the next minion up the food chain called me to explain the opportunity that were giving me. This company or … (18 comments)
Tonight I got the phone call that most, if not all, realtors love! Some clients that I really think the world of are expecting their second child! I am so happy for them because they are just wonderful people and great parents. The second part of the good news to me was when they said that their townhouse is now too small!

This business is filled with simple to-do's that can make life so much easier for everyone, and really make you as a Realtor stand out the competition.

If you represent the buyer, include it in an addendum to the contract - Seller will use best efforts to provide a copy of the most recent title insurance. This has come up twice this week … (0 comments)
bethesda chevy chase buyer: Do NOT Ask a Bank to Remove Furniture from an REO - Serious Mistake
- 12/15/09 02:14 PM
My buyer fell in love with an REO townhouse with huge holes in the ceiling. Silly me - I didn't realize that the holes in the ceiling were prima facie evidence of a burst pipe in the fire sprinkler system. (I thought the previous owner was just disgruntled at being evicted! I am not allowed to run with scissors either since I am so clueless.) I should have realized that when the pipe burst, the holes were cut/torn into the ceiling to determine which pipe had burst. Obviously, if I had realized what the holes in the ceiling meant, I … (4 comments)
