fsbo: Why Home Buyers Should ALWAYS have a Home Inspection - 05/12/18 04:46 PM
A headline in a April 2018 St Paul Pioneer Press article reads, "White Bear Lake Man Believes Old Batteries Robbed him of Health and Home". The foundation of his 1939 built lake home and surrounding retaining walls around the property were constructed using emptied out battery casings filled with concrete. 

White Bear is  a community where I have sold many homes, and this situation is highly toxic. While this issue was not apparent to him when he purchased decades ago, it was to a local home inspector who actually mentioned the very home in another article about why get a … (18 comments)

fsbo: Crockpot Cooking is Easy-—Real Estate Should be too! - 10/14/15 06:33 AM

I don’t like to cook and I especially don’t like to clean up a bunch of pans or dishes after making a meal. So recently, almost all of my cooking has been in a slow cooker. I put ingredients in the morning and 6-8 hours later we are eating chili, chicken with carrots or even homemade soup.  And cleaning up is a breeze too with only one pot to wash. I like making my life simple.

fsbo: The Importance of Being Earnest with Earnest Money - 01/22/09 02:13 AM
Oscar Wilde's popular Victorian play has nothing to do with earnest funds but lends a fun intro to a very important topic when buying a home. To be earnest, you show eagerness, intent or seriousness. That definition alone should indicate the role of earnest money in a real estate transaction.

When buying a home, the words used can often be confusing. Home buyers … (15 comments)

fsbo: BUBBA—The Flipside of FSBO Revisited - 08/22/08 12:25 AM
Buying as a BUBBA is down in 2007 though still higher than FSBO. What is a BUBBA you say? It is a Buyer Unrepresented by a Buyer's Agent. In 2006, almost a quarter of all buyers' were BUBBAs. In 2007, according to the National Association of REALTORS® 2007 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, that percentage has dropped to 16%. Is this possibly due to all of the short sales and foreclosures that started appearing across the country at that time and buyers felt a NEED for the services of a knowledgeable professional? Maybe...I wonder if the number will drop again … (25 comments)

fsbo: BUBBA--The Flipside of FSBO - 03/09/07 12:05 AM
Most people, whether in the real estate industry or not,have heard of the FSBO--A For Sale By Owner seller. The acronym has been used for quite awhile as there has always been a segment of the market that chose to sell their home directly to a new buyer. But, there's a new acronym being used by Realtors these days--BUBBA or Buyers Unrepresented By a Buyer's Agent. It is making it's way into the real estate agent vocabulary because this market segment is growing.
In 2006, according to the National Association of Realtors 2006 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, nearly a … (14 comments)
