big bear real estate: Why I want to be the 4th Real Estate Agent that lists your Big Bear Home! - 01/04/08 11:19 AM
You might want to be the fourth Real Estate agent to list a house in our current Real Estate market. With many of the homes in our market taking 12 months or more to sell. Sellers seem to take that long to understand where they need to price their home to sell. Often we tell them that they need to be the best value and suggest a price that should get them sold, and then they shop agents until they find one that gives them a price that matches their perceived value. This as I have said before is a recipe for disaster. This will … (6 comments)

big bear real estate: When do you want me to start telling you the truth? - 12/31/07 08:40 AM
This is a question that I will sometimes ask sellers in our market. Often when I go out on a listing appointment the sellers have met with other agents.
The sellers almost always have an idea of some of the market conditions and place a value on their property that they keep as a secret as long as they can. Sellers seem to want to wait and see which of the agents that they are interviewing will outbid their perceived value.

big bear real estate: 7 things I predict will happen in Big Bear Real Estate in 2008 - 12/30/07 03:33 AM
1. I predict that the lake will rise to full capacity in June. This will increase Big Bear lakefront home values and the number of Lakefront homes that will sell in 2008. This is not only a prediction, it is what I hope and pray will occur. I enjoy the lake and there is nothing more beautiful than Big Bear Lake full of water glistening off of the sun. I love to get to the dock at 7am and jump in one of the Master Craft boats that we ski behind and get out on the lake and make a few turns, especially when … (0 comments)

big bear real estate: You got an offer on your Big Bear Home, now how do you get this fish in the boat? - 12/28/07 11:37 AM
First of all, if you got an offer, good for you. That means you were priced well enough to sell the Real Estate agents on showing your Big Bear home. Now you'll need to get your ego out of the way and see if you can get your home sold before it looses any additional value. Most buyers in this market are investors, or they think like one. If your lucky enough to have a buyer that becomes emotionally committed, you are very fortunate. You are handling an endangered species, so be careful. Buyers in this market are illusive and hard to find.
It's … (0 comments)
