listing: SELLER SELLING HIS HOME THROUGH ME
- 03/22/19 10:21 AM
I have a client who comes along once in a great while who just wants everything to go and show well in the selling of his home. Making repairs ahead of time without being told, landscaping at a premium and professionally cleaned and photo-graphed including drone coverage too. Furthermore, he is researching the neighborhood to get a feel for pricing and days on market and wants to come out of the gate a winner
WHY DO YOU NEED ME?
Lets get right to this subject because you can't help think it. Why me and not you? He does not want a fool for … (11 comments)

- 03/21/19 07:25 AM
Money makes the world not only go round but is one of the necessities of life. We learn this very early on and train ourselves to be a person that looks for opportunities. Using the dynamic of one thing leads to another, we finally come across our success and it tastes sweet so much so we want more of it. This is expected. However, something comes to interfere with it all...
GREED ON THE HUNT!
This is a subjective dynamic to be sure and if you strive for one penny more than you know you shouldn't have or want or to go about it … (26 comments)

- 04/12/17 08:45 AM
I do free consultations. My motives are clear and transparent when I do so. I like helping people and at the same time, letting them sample my wares. There is nothing to compare with like a free sample. No risk and it is a quick and immediate way to break the ice and establish rapport or at minimum a contact
HOWDY NEIGHBOR
A neighbor about 6 houses down was in contact with me for months on how to best proceed with his home as it applies to his personal circumstance. He travels to work 4 hours a day there & back and he … (24 comments)

- 10/08/16 09:43 AM
It is an interesting dynamic to be a part of these Real Estate transactions. When nothing is brewing and an agent is between transactions, time is perceived as crawling and not acting on our best behalf's. When in a transaction, time is of the essence and one must move with a purpose not only for their own sake but for fiduciary sake too
I DON'T SEE IT MOVING
Real Estate does not really move as we use the word literally. Agents, principals and other professional assistants make it take on different identities safely & effectively and it involves large amounts of money and remains a life changing event for … (6 comments)

listing: REAL ESTATE AGENTS DONT CONFUSE THESE TWO
- 08/23/16 03:04 AM
When entering something into the MLS, you have two sections that can be put to good use. The first section called Property Description is just that. A chance to market and advertise what you got and pitch to the world at large. You see that is what appears on the Internet. Not everyone puts that space to good use. Either its too long and rambling or too short and lacks invitation. Very important this little space is

listing: BEFORE WE LIST FOR SALE
- 03/04/16 07:10 AM
We (the seller & I) have a pre-listing discussion several of them until seller and me-agent are clear on the subject matter. Then, an inspection of the property is performed. I always tell my seller that I am going to tell you what an appraiser, inspector and a buyer will be seeing as well as other Real Estate agents. Don't get defensive!
SO WHAT DO THEY DO?
Get defensive! LOL. They try to explain everything to me as to why it didn't, why it should and why does it matter. Again, I remind them that being proactive in this business compliments the first impression. People who … (9 comments)

I was all set to listen in on the ActiveRain Webinar always looking to hone my skills.

I was in the process of finishing up some listing paperwork when I noticed the Webinar had started. Save the work and..... Off I go...

- 08/28/15 11:39 PM
You are a THINKING about buying a home person and for some time, you have had an awareness on the subject but not really committed. You go about your business but with one eye on homes for sale as you come and go and finally you sight a potential. You pull over to write down the phone number on the sign. You are excited and not sure what to do, but want to do something.
LONG BEFORE THAT
The bad news is you needed to know what to do way before this experience. Its like Dramamine for motion sickness. It has to be … (8 comments)

I met up with a potential client who insisted on getting together. I will pay you for your time he says and I said, there is no charge for my services to consult. He was pleased and we met.

- 01/14/14 05:48 AM
If we are going to do something, then energy is called upon and focus is summoned and lo and behold a change is about to take place and make itself known. FOR SALE is the message we are broadcasting to the public and we invite anyone interested to come forward
COME DON'T COME
Beware of the mixed message. That is where one of your hands is beckoning for someone to approach and the other is shooing them away. Come don't come. Which one is it? The compelling part of all this is that sellers or agents may not be aware they are doing this

Lets go back to the time when I had no license, was ignorant and young which was over 35 years ago. The lure of becoming a Real Estate licensee was strong and desirable. Pictures of wealth, power and the good life appeared if only I could get licensed
CAN YOU DO IT ALL?

- 11/15/13 11:39 PM
There are Real Estate practices that are standard procedure. They must be part of every transaction. Getting things in writing, doing diligence and being available just to name a tiny few. The BEING AVAILABLE is a biggie with me. How can you move a big ticket item effectively and efficiently when your communications are not running at optimum? Not being available is the KISS OF DEATH
THE PARTIES COME TOGETHER
What is optimum communications? Well two complete strangers...let's call them buyer and seller come together with their agents and for a short period of time must take a transaction in the hundreds of thousands of dollars … (8 comments)

- 06/20/13 12:03 AM
I remember going to the dentist one day 30 years ago for some experimental work. It required 2 hours of sitting in a chair, having some paste put in my mouth to take a indentation and then having to breath through a tube. All right sez I, I have put this off long enough. I am going to take this on and be done with it. It was a huge inconvenience, a terrible experience but a necessary one
STAY WITH ME HERE
So what happens? The indentation doesn't take and after all the apologies from the dentist (who never did … (2 comments)

- 04/30/13 05:33 AM
Look what the procedures are in today's Real Estate market. In no particular order, the transaction consists of getting an inspection at some point and having the house reveal itself by seeing if it can stand and live up to a reasonable inspection. Also involved is the agents walk-thru where a visual casual inspection is made and anything of interest is noted. Included as well is a SIT-DOWN with the owners where they take a sort-of HOUSE COMMUNION
FORGIVE ME...THE FOLLOWING IS WRONG
My sit-downs mirror a confessional. I put on my Real Estate cloth and assume writing posture, we sit … (4 comments)
