the pamela madore group: Keller Williams Offers It Agents Profit Share Opportunities. - 01/18/17 11:26 AM
   
Keller Williams offers to its agents an amazing opportunity called Profit Share. Agents that help grow the company participate in Profit Share.  It is free money. Literally.  Unfortunately, for some reason it is a well-kept secret.  If only everyone knew the amazing opportunity that could be theirs.
Did you know that there are agents in Keller Williams Realty that never sell houses?  They focus their entire time on helping Keller Williams grow.  And it seems to be working since we are the #1 company in the world.  
So where do you find people that want to participate in Profit … (0 comments)

Everyone has different tastes in houses they love.  Some like brand new.  Some like mid 60' to 80's.  And then there is that special group that like older houses with character.

3304 S. Van Buren falls within the the latter category.  It is a tudor style house with all the character
of the 1920's houses.  This house needs love.

It has 3 bedrooms and 1 bath.  It has original hardwood floors throughout the house.  They would look much better is they were refinished.  The owner of the house now has an … (0 comments)

1824 S. Milam, Amarillo TX  {79109}  New Listing By The Pamela Madore Group
 


This is a great starter house.  The difference is that most starter houses require work.  This house on 1824 Milam is turn-key.  Bring your tooth brush. :-)

This is how the seller tells us about the new things she lovingly did to the house: 

"Newly remodeled, all new plumbing, electrical, wall insulation, doors, tile throughout, jacuzzi tub, A/C unit, water heater, water softener, water filtration, restored hardwood floors, newer appliances, roof and paint."

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a town of 600. I could call everyone by name. Lee Maine is in the woods with brooks, streams, lakes and trees .  Summer was laughing called "the 4th of July" because it was so short.  Winters were long and cold with lots of snow.  I loved the outdoors.

I was an outdoorsy person and played all of the sports. We moved here in 2007 when houses in Florida were currently doubling in price every 2 weeks. That was just before they started  doubling down in price every two … (0 comments)

Oh My Gosh! Those Pictures That The Realtor Took Of My House Are Awful!!

The other day I found the perfect house for some clients so we went to see it.  We could hardly believe that the pictures were even of the same house.  The seller's agent had a professional photographer come and take pictures.  What a great photographer!  The house looked nothing like the pictures. Beautiful, huh?  Not.  We were shocked.
On the other hand, I have had a seller say to me that the pictures I took were … (1 comments)

How To Buy A HUD Foreclosure

It is always tempting to want to buy a foreclosure.  Read this carefully before you decide so you know all the rules.  


THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS A GOOD DEAL

Contrary to popular belief, not all foreclosures are a good deal.  As a matter of fact, some are very bad deals.  You have to be very careful when deciding on whether or not to bid (make an offer).  On the other hand, some are very good deals.  It seems that … (1 comments)

As great as Michael Jordan is, he couldn't do it all by himself.  He needed a team and each team member had a position, a job to do.  The better they worked together the more championships they won.

Take the listing agent, for instance.  Their role is to know the market, the value of houses, market trends and be able to use their expertise to give you the best available information on pricing your house.  That person will complete the listing agreement paperwork, … (3 comments)

What In The World Is A Short -Sale ?


During the early 2000s, in an effort to boost our economy home ownership became easy and affordable for nearly everyone.  This was generally a good thing because it did boost our economy. 
Unfortunately, it had its consequences.  

Most of the consequences weren't noticeable at first, with the exception of a mass exodus from rental properties which did hurt greatly that industry.  The real problems came later.  Foreclosures and short-sales. 


But what did this mean to the common homeowner.  First, in order … (0 comments)

Who Will Buy This House?
That is what I saw.  Price per square foot may not come into play nearly as much as the very limited audience that would be interested in purchasing this property.

So you tell me, who will buy this condo?   And will they be looking at a high, medium, or  low square foot price.  Will it take longer to find a buyer?  Will it require more specialized marketing?  Will the seller be happy with my assessment?

Recently I lost two listings because I assessed the … (1 comments)

As a Realtor, one of the most important jobs that I have is to secure financing for our buyers.  Why?  Because I don't want to waste my seller's time, energy, and emotions on someone who couldn't purchase if they wanted to.

Nearly all of the time, when a buyer comes to us they have not been qualified by a bank.  Instead, they called on a particular house or series of houses that they saw and were interested in.

A professional Realtor will immediately seek to put … (0 comments)
