Earlier in this series I mentioned that selling can be emotional. The home you’ve lived in has memories, your belongings and it’s your safe haven. Realtors know this, but it’s not our job to sell you; it’s our job to sell your home. Don’t take offense if we’re harsh or insistent on asking you to take down photos or remove belongings. We are trying to help you detach from your home … (2 comments)
You may think I’m jumping the gun here but I’m not. Here’s why…if you want to upgrade or purchase another home you need to review your credit and down payment requirements. I’ve often heard sellers say,
“Well, this place was no money down and easy to get a mortgage on so it shouldn’t be a problem to buy again…”

I've had many people ask me online and in the real world "how much is your commission?" I never give a direct answer but I always tell them...It's negotiable. I work with your needs and not a set price across the board. The old school Realtors always stick to their "full service percentages" or their firm requires a minimum fee/commission percentage so they don't have flexibility. I had a closing yesterday that also had a $150 document processing fee after the seller paid 6% commission to sell the home. Geeze! Flexibility to work and help my clients save money was a major … (0 comments)

- 06/02/09 02:51 AM
I've often thought of ways to help a seller or buyer out of a sticky situation. Recently, I've been trying to look for "good deed" opportunities. As a single mom, I don't have time to volunteer or give a lot of myself to help others. However, there is a family I met thourhg a networking site that had a need to sell their home quick!
