massachusetts: Another Reason Why a Buyer's Agent is NOT a Luxury in Today's Market.. IT"s A Necessity!- Bristol County Taunton,-Lakeville MA
- 11/15/09 01:03 PM
Another Reason Why A Buyers Agent is Not A Luxury in Today's Market.. It's a Necessity more so for Foreclosures, Short Sales, and for the first time buyer. I was at an open house today. A buyer walked in. He said he just "lost" a house that he was suppose to buy and close on this week. Naturally I was curious and asked questions . He indicated that he knew it was a foreclosure and wanted a "deal". He also said he didn't have a buyers agent or an attorney. He agreed to buy the house "as is". One of my questions … (2 comments)

Does this ever happen to you? You've gone through your day feeling pretty darn good about life and then you turn on the 6:00 news and suddenly, your whole demeanor and attitude change? You are not alone. The media's job is to produce ratings and drive up revenues in air time. I know this first hand. I used to be in the advertising business and believe me ratings rule. Lately we are hearing negative news reports on the economy and the state of the real estate market in general, but I believe they aren't reporting accurately on the big picture.

massachusetts: Home Sellers in Massachusetts- Must Read this before buying your next house.
- 03/26/09 10:55 AM
If you're like me you want a plan ahead of time to know exactly where you are going to move next before you decide to sell your house. In my experience in Real Estate working with many home sellers, one big mistake I've seen is home sellers out house shopping for a house without cash before their house in on the market. Here's what happens: You see five houses with your agent.. then you found "it", the perfect house, perfect yard, perfect living space.. the house of your dreams! You then ask your agent to list your house and you make … (0 comments)
