integrity: Advice For Sellers - How To Avoid A Big Trap!! - 09/27/16 11:43 PM
So, you need to sell your home.
 
 
 
And you have already listed it with an agent at least once, sometimes more, and it has not sold.
 
There are several reasons a home may not sell, preparation, presentation, location and a few others, but the single biggest culprit is................
 
PRICE!!!
 
Every property will sell at market price - the price the market is willing to pay for that property in it's current condition, based on where it is located.
 
You can't change the location.
 
You can ensure that the property is in the best possible condition if you are interested in the market being interested at the highest … (14 comments)

integrity: Climb Every Mountain?! - 06/28/07 11:52 AM
Well - perhaps not every mountain!  But - there are challenges galore out there in our industry - and for every perceived "problem" there is a solution - it's just a matter of identifying the solution.  Those "mountains" provide opportunities for those up to the challenge - which I would hope would be most of us in the real estate business as it demands a certain "entrepreneurial spirit" and sense of adventure to get into the business in the first place. 
 
I'm not sure I'm in good enough shape to climb EVERY mountain - so I pick and choose those … (18 comments)

integrity: Don't be shy! - 06/26/07 01:40 PM
OK folks - step right up, step right up!  We've had a glorious couple of days of debate over whether designations are a key component of being successful in real estate.  Those with say of course - those without say of course not!  No surprises there.
Here is the surprise!  I asked for suggestions from all parties as to what a new agent, without the benefit of designations, qualifications/network from a previous career and without the benefit of having an experience professional in the family could do to build their own business plan to be successful.
The silence has been deafening!

integrity: Discounts? - 04/22/07 08:47 AM
Oh my, it seems like the question of "discounts" gets more vicious every day. 
It's been my experience that some of the set fee outfits claim they are saving a client "x" compared with someone who would charge a higher fee.  Duh, let's see, if one number is lower than another, then it's lower and there is a difference.  The unproven assumption is that the consumer only has a choice between the set fee outfit and this postulated alternative, and that the set fee outfit knows with certainty what the other broker would charge, and then proceeds to calculate the savings.  … (36 comments)
