homes for sale: No Backbone, No Deal: Why Agents Must Master the Counteroffer
- 09/29/24 04:46 AM
It seems like in the last 5 years or so, the art of negotiation is becoming a lost skill among newer and younger agents. I’m seeing a troubling pattern (on my multiple-offer listings especially) where, instead of countering back after an initial seller counteroffer, they simply walk away—leaving their clients empty-handed. Worse yet, some agents fumble through explaining the counter options, missing the opportunity to advocate for their buyers and push back effectively. They actually get their clients emotional vs. calm with cooler heads prevailing. Where’s the resolve, the backbone, that used to fuel multiple back-and-forth counters? It's frustrating as a (24 comments)
homes for sale: When Your Listing Throws a Party Without You!
- 09/03/24 03:34 PM
Well, my friends, we have discussed it before—we’ve all heard the horror stories—but this time, I finally lived it. When Your Listing Throws a Party Without You! Picture this: Saturday night of Labor Day Weekend 2024, a peaceful cul-de-sac, and my resort-style listing. But instead of a quiet evening, it turned into the scene of an uninvited rave, complete with a DJ, lights, and beer. The kicker? I wasn’t invited, but apparently, about 50 local high school kids got the memo on social media. Imagine waking up at 11:30 PM to discover your phone has been blowing up since 9 PM, all because (34 comments)
homes for sale: No, You Do Not Need To Call Every Listing Agent...
- 07/31/24 03:38 PM
There’s a misconception that you need to call every listing agent to verify the compensation or concessions being offered, since your MLS won't publish the CBB% after 08/17/2024. This isn't necessarily true, and here's why below...
To be completely transparent, I have called almost every listing agent before almost every showing for the last 25+ years because I almost always have pre-showing questions that may determine whether or not the property will work for my buyers. Adding the compensation question to my usual inquiries is no big deal since I'm calling ahead anyway. But... Once you agree to work with a buyer, you must (15 comments)

homes for sale: ⚔️ The Dual (Agency) Is On in California! 😎
- 04/18/24 06:10 PM
Dual Agency is legal and common in California. In the realm of real estate, dual agency emerges as both a boon and a burden, presenting agents and clients with a dual-edged sword of advantages and pitfalls. Certainly, dual agency occurs when a broker represents both the buyer(s) and seller(s) in the same transaction. However, it's important to note that while the broker may act as a dual agent, the individual agents involved are not directly considered dual agents themselves, although there may be indirect implications. On the bright side, dual agency offers the allure of simplicity and efficiency. With a single agent representing (13 comments)

In the journey of life, we are often faced with a choice: do we follow the ticking of the clock or the guiding direction of the compass? Many of us, knowingly or unknowingly, choose the former, allowing the relentless march of time to dictate our actions and decisions. We become slaves to the daily grind, measuring our worth by the number of tasks we accomplish and the hours we put in at work. In the realm of real estate, this tendency is especially pronounced.
