best realtor for mn home buyers: Essential Terms for the First Time Homebuyer: Fiduciary - 12/29/15 07:14 AM
 
Whether first time home buyer or seasoned homeowner considering selling, there are a number of real estate terms that are essential to know. Today's word is Fiduciary.
Fiduciary—A relationship of trust created when a home buyer or home seller signs a contract with a REALTOR®. After a contract is signed, a real estate agent has several fiduciary duties that protect their client, This fiduciary relationship is not only effective throughout the transaction; it continues forever.

best realtor for mn home buyers: Forget the Diamonds! Happy Clients are a Girl's Best Friend! - 02/18/15 05:05 AM
January is the time of year that I play catch-up. I catch up on all the paperwork for my taxes. I catch up on all the miscellaneous stuff around the house that was put aside over the holidays. You get the idea. One such task was to ask several recent clients for feedback on my service. Sometimes I remember and do this right after the closings and sometimes it is put off for a bit.
So for about two weeks now I have been receiving some of the most awesome feedback from families I have helped recently. Here are just a … (6 comments)

best realtor for mn home buyers: Going, Going, Gone! Starter Homes Sell Quick! - 09/17/12 07:41 AM
It seems a bit unbelievable to some homebuyers. After a few years of hearing about a real estate market where buyers were in the driver’s seat now buyers are hearing, "Sorry, that home is SOLD!" That is the very market we are now in folks! There are still homes being listed every day. But with these phenomenally low interest rates (Did you ever think a 15 year mortgage would be UNDER 3%?!), there are many more homebuyers off of the fence and in the market. If you are a first time homebuyer and looking for a home in the $100K-150K range, … (4 comments)

best realtor for mn home buyers: Holding Your OWN Hand When Buying or Selling a Home - 07/19/12 06:20 AM
Well over a decade ago, I was on a weekend shopping excursion with my family. Just as we were about to step off the curb into the busy parking lot of the local Target, I attempted to take the hand of my precocious son when he announced to my husband and I, “I can hold my own hand!” And being obstinate and still in that "terrible two" stage, he did. He put one chubby little fist inside the other behind his back and attempted to step off the curb and into traffic. And like the mama lion I was, I stopped … (17 comments)
