palm harbor florida realtors: No Big Deal
- 12/27/13 02:47 AM
As a professional Real Estate agent and as a Trainer-Coach and Speaker my biggest Aha in 2013 is the same one that I unfortunately have to learn over and over again. We as Real Estate agents and I guess it's this way in any commission paying job, have a tendency to become very attached to the results. In other words, we need the deal because we want to get paid. This can be a big problem for many reasons. When we need a deal we have a tendency to push and it becomes about us. When we do this, the natural reaction on our … (0 comments)
palm harbor florida realtors: How To Sell Your Home By Owner
- 04/14/12 04:58 AM
For the last seven years or since 2005, there really hasn’t been a ”By Owner” market because of the growing number of homes for sale and the shrinking number of active buyers. However, in the past six months we have seen the active inventory cut in half and the number of buyers at least double. This means a lot of things but mainly it means as we move closer to a sellers market, conditions are improving for all of you who would like to sell your home without paying a Realtor. So why would I, as a Real Estate Professional, take … (0 comments)
palm harbor florida realtors: I'm Afraid!!!!
- 07/24/11 07:09 AM
Of all the reasons for not trying something, fear is probably at the top of the list and maybe sometimes, that's a good thing. For Example, I WILL NOT sky dive because I am scared to death to jump out of a plane and if I go the rest of my life without the adrenaline rush of jumping 10,000 feet to my death, I'm OK with that. However, not asking someone for help or not asking someone to hire you or not cold calling for a sales appointment because you're afraid of hearing no is simply unacceptable. At a recent social event where we … (4 comments)
palm harbor florida realtors: Short Sale - Bank Owned - Conventioanl - Who Cares
- 04/16/11 08:36 AM
Who would of thought 5 years ago when we first started dealing with short sales and foreclosures that not only would they still be a part of our market but the largest part. For the first time in who knows when (now I know someone if going to respond "I've been a Realtor for 40 years and you should have seen the market in the 70's) we are selling more short sales and bank owned homes than conventional sales. My listing inventory usually sits between 40 and 70 homes and until just recently only 20% of those have been short sales. … (0 comments)
palm harbor florida realtors: Why Didn't My Home Sell
- 08/22/10 07:47 AM
So tell me something, why are you calling me now that my listing has expired but you never showed it when it was listed? Have you ever heard that or if you are a home owner have you ever said that or thought it? It's a good question and a fair question. Fair enough, the seller is angry. They had their home on the market for 6 months and it didn't sell, worse yet, barely anyone looked at it. I called an owner of a Clearwater, Florida Beach Front Condo last week and was read this familiar script that so many … (8 comments)
