Thank you to the "too busy" listing agent for not answering your phone, returning your messages and for not taking care of your client!! Yeesh! I had a gentleman contact me who wanted information and to see one of your listings. He found your ad on craigslist and tried calling you, but could not reach you.

The number on the listing said it was … (3 comments)

I relearned a valuable lesson this morning. I was confronted with a door to door salesgirl. She was all of 8 or 9 years old selling chocolates in our neighborhood for a school fundraising. I was impressed with her vigor and motivation. She was across the street when I first noticed her, I was out on my porch talking with a neighbor. She heard us talking as she was walking up the walkway to another home. Without any further thought, she came running towards us. First words were, " Would you like to buy some chocolates? She immediately saw an … (2 comments)

bellingham homes for sale: Center Stage
- 11/11/10 07:54 AM
Think of it as Interior Curb appeal. STAGING. How a house is presented to potential buyers and those first few impressions can make all the difference when selling a home. How you market your home and DISPLAY it does have an effect on a buyers perception and how they see themselves in your house. I use the word display because as Webster describes it you do want " to exhibit to advantage". Just like dressing up a mannequin, your home now needs to be "dressed", but let's put it another way, " dressed down" if you will. If your house looks lived in, i.e. dishes piled up in the sink, … (1 comments)

The independence really enticed me. In my 19 years of medical management I had trained a boatload of employees, and had dealt with my fair share of corporate office psychology and politics. I was ready to work on my own by myself, no staff, no more training, no more setting up of policies and procedures. In the real estate … (3 comments)
bellingham homes for sale: FSBO or Realtor: What's a Seller To Do
- 10/30/10 10:26 AM
Suffice it to say, this is one of the toughest markets to be in if you are a home seller. A gluttonous inventory inundated with Short Sales and Foreclosure that are driving home values down, and a lack of buyers is prompting home sellers to choose self- representation rather than hiring a Realtor in an effort to maximize as much profit as is possible in this highly competitive market. By choosing “ For Sale by Owner” vs. a Realtor’s representation,knowledge, and skill , sellers are ultimately setting themselves up to lose much more than just commission’s. You could lose … (6 comments)
