eden prairie homes: The Top 4.5 Things Home Buyers Demand and Need in 2011 - 07/06/11 03:23 AM
It is 2011, and interestingly enough buyers have not changed much since I started in the Real Estate business in 16 years ago.
As an Agency and buyer representation Instructor for Kaplan Professional Schools for nearly a decade, it is always interesting to hear how some agent's think buyers have "changed". Maybe some buyers THINK they have changed, but what they want and need has not changed. With the possible exception of their perception of what they "need". 
These things are certainly not exhaustive, but a GREAT start!

eden prairie homes: There is hope for you if you are behind on your mortgage! - 12/10/10 04:09 AM
Hello,
First things first, take a deep breath and tell yourself that "My mortgage company does not want to foreclose on my home!". This is a true statement for all lenders! - Sometimes they simply need to be convinced of this fact!
I know they tendency is to be gripped with fear, anger, frustration, and helplessness, but it is still very true, that the worst thing you can do is nothing.
Here is a better solution, and I have referred thousands of agents to it in my real estate classes I teach all over the State of Minnesota for Kaplan Professional … (0 comments)

eden prairie homes: The Brett Favre effect on Real Estate in Minnesota? - 08/10/10 05:28 AM
First, I know what you are thinking. Is this guy crazy? Well, think of it this way. Has there ever been bursts of real estate sales due to forces that didn't have any base in logic? Of course there has been.... Let's ponder shall we.

Maybe,  they just … (0 comments)
