real estate agents: Residential Garage Fires - Serious Problem, Simple Solution
- 01/24/08 10:44 AM
An Interesting Fact that's probably as true in Mountain Home Idaho as anywhere else. Did you know that nearly 1/4 of all fatal home fires begin in the garage? These fires are especially deadly because they spread quickly and are well underway before occupants are alerted to the blaze. Gas Cans, fumes from spills and leaks plus the inevitable collection of rags and boxes provide a ready fuel supply. (Technical note: Those propane cylinders for the family bbq stored in the garage fall outside of the fuel category and into that of explosives.)The Typical Garage also provides several ignition sources from "home brew" electrical wiring to light bulbs … (5 comments)
real estate agents: Keeping Secrets from Our Clients
- 01/09/08 10:52 AM
Every Day we hear about how today's home buyers are fixated on value. They're smarter, more sophisticated and have access to tools and information that makes them more informed and astute buyers. That may all be true but, after reading the engagement agreements of more than a few relocation/referral companies, I've got a few questions about the decisions some of them (and we) are making. How Come buyers let themselves get mauled by various relocation/referral companies that promise endless "Buyer Benefits" but who deliver only a fraction of the referral fees paid to them by agents who agree to work for huge … (0 comments)

real estate agents: It Isn't Easy Being Green (Yet!) - Energy Efficiency - Mountain Home, ID
- 10/18/07 08:58 AM
I just completed a year long (well, it took ME a year) program leading to certification under the ECOBroker program. The primary goal of ECOBroker is to train real estate professionals about residential energy efficiency and home environmental issues (e.g. indoor air quality) so that we can can then provide knowledgeable advice to our clients. Unfortunately, it appears that I'm all dressed up but have no place to go. Despite consumer interest in hybrid cars, synfuels and such; commitment to residential energy efficiency appears to be hovering at the lip service stage. Nationally, 80% of home buyers claim that energy efficiency is … (2 comments)
real estate agents: Greatest Real Estate Myths #1 - Real Estate - Mountain Home, ID
- 08/13/07 10:57 AM
Myth #1 - A Listing Agent Who Doesn't Show Your Home to a Boatload of People is a Bum! I recently acquired a listing from homeowners unhappy with their listing agent because "he never showed our home". Treading gently, I tried to communicate that the primary job of the listing agent is not to sell the home but to get it sold! In fact, it's entirely possible that a first-rate agent will never personally usher a prospect through the home. When a nervous family, with 60 days to get out of Dodge, entrusts me with the sale of their home, do you think they'd … (1 comments)
