michael elliott realtor: That Moment of Truth : When You Need a Direct, Honest Realtor
- 09/06/24 01:22 AM
Does your home have a pet odor? Does it smell of cigarette smoke? Does it have "deferred maintenance" which should be addressed? Should that 10 year old hot tub be included in the sale? When selling your house, you need a direct and honest agent who can and will address these issues! Sure, as a new agent 40 years ago, I made mistakes. I didn't know what was important to most buyers. I didn't know how to always give sellers candid, but important advice. I would prefer to have the seller hear "bad news" from me, before we hit the market, so … (5 comments)

michael elliott realtor: Are You A Broker? Important Questions to Ask Your Realtor When Selling.
- 09/05/24 01:50 AM
Are you a broker? is a question some sellers ask me when I am "interviewing" for their listing. Let's discuss this and what it means in New Jersey and how it may impact you. In NJ, to own or manage a real estate office, which I did for approximately 20 years, a broker license is required. I no longer manage or own a company, which gives me plenty (more) of time to help, assist and guide my clients and transactions. My managing, recruiting and training days are over. I now focus solely on helping local buyers and sellers. To obtain a broker license, … (11 comments)
michael elliott realtor: Home Buyers: Be At Your Home Inspection
- 09/03/24 01:07 AM
There are several reasons to be at the inspection for the largest purchase and investment of your life. Here are a few: 1. What we see in person is much easier to understand than what we read or hear about. Also, when at the house, you can easily ask piggyback questions to your inspector. Being there reduces the risk of any misunderstandings. 2. What we read is typically a lot scarier than what we observe. That report can be quite intimidating. 3. You can get a jump on any needed repair or potential credit estimates, often even on your ride back to work or … (15 comments)

michael elliott realtor: A Suggestion For New Agents : Do What Scares You
- 08/29/24 03:10 AM
Pardon my feature photo, nothing is ever this scary in our business, just having some fun here. My suggestion today is to get out of your "comfort zone". Call that FSBO. Call that expired listing. Knock on their door. Call EVERYONE in your sphere as you begin building a strong database. Do it now! One of the great things about this job is we can do what we are best at, and specialize at that, but as a new agent, things do intimidate or scare us. Do it sooner than later, get it out of the way, and become good at it. Master … (12 comments)

michael elliott realtor: If You Listed Your House With 6 Agents
- 08/27/24 02:20 AM
How do you pick a real estate agent? In Burlington and Mercer, most agents can get the job done in this market. Most. Not all. While you cannot list your house 6 times with 6 different agents, I will tell you this, without blinking: If you could , you would get 6 very different results. Every single agent works differently. Some are easily reachable. Others are not. Even the full- timers. Some are great at marketing your property. Others are novices. Some give you great pre-listing strategies. Some don't or can't. Some spend money to get your home marketed. Some do not. Some know how to write a … (6 comments)
michael elliott realtor: My Prediction For Real Estate Prognosticators
- 08/27/24 01:53 AM
This is a suggestion for my fellow agents, past clients and future clients: Ignore the real estate predictions. They are typically wrong, and they will continue to be wrong. In my 40 years of watching these educated guesses, they are more often wrong than on target. For my fellow agents: Work hard and serve your clients well. Do not let the prognosticators influence your attitude. For my clients: If you want or need to buy or sell, let's do it. Trying to time the market perfectly to suit your needs is risky and often foolhardy. With interest rates in the 6%'s and most Burlington and … (10 comments)
michael elliott realtor: The Traitors: What I Have Learned About People
- 08/26/24 12:26 PM
Are you familiar with this reality -tv show? Warning: It is very addictive, and it is superior to Survivor and any other show I have seen. What I did not expect from this show-- it is so much about: Human nature Judgement Assumptions Perceptions And nearly every one is wrong. While this is a game, people are forced to make quick "decisions" and judgements about people, with awful results. It becomes quite comical. So very many of the contestants think they have an edge at reading people based on their specific background or profession. Whoops! No, they don't ! There is a US-based, a UK-based and … (14 comments)

michael elliott realtor: Curtains Closed
- 08/25/24 04:08 AM
If your house is on the market, open those blinds, drapes and curtains before showings! Let the light in ! Lighter homes appear larger, cleaner and happier! And they sell faster! I am surprised by home many people ignore or overlook this. I see it when I show property to buyers, and I see it on online pics. Unless you just got out of the shower and are running around naked, open them up! Do you want to see your house? Call me ! My cell: (609) 864-8164 My website: https://michaelelliott.fathomrealty.com/
