real estate agent: Upper Marlboro MD Real Estate: Yes, It's A Buyer's Market- Still Save Some Money - 12/12/11 03:10 AM
Presently, we hear the term "buyer's market" being used repeatedly.  What does this really mean?  Does it mean that the buyer has some control over the market?  Does it mean that it's not a market for sellers?  Does it mean that buyers get everything they ask for?  What does the buyer really believe this means?
As an Upper Marlboro, MD real estate agent, I have functioned as a buyer's agent on many occasions.  Yes, this means that I have helped our wonderful buyers find and buy homes.  Every buyer comes with his or her own knowledge and perspective about real estate … (0 comments)

real estate agent: Upper Marlboro, MD Real Estate: Buyers- Don't Sweat The Small Stuff - 12/08/11 08:58 AM
Yes, we love our buyers.  We love the real estate business they bring us.  As real estate agents, we find buyers homes.  We drive them around often to make sure they get to see all of the nice homes for sale.  So, why haven't we written a sales offer on anything yet?
As an Upper Marlboro, MD real estate agent, I have worked with my fair share of buyers.  There are those buyers who know exactly what they want and there are those who don't.  Oh, we can't forget the buyers who say one thing and then do another. No, this … (0 comments)

real estate agent: Upper Marlboro, MD Real Estate: Real Estate Agents Do Actually Work - 12/06/11 02:53 PM
In a world of many real estate agents, the competition is stiff.  In a downshift real estate market, clients become more of a rare commodity.  We're scratching and clawing for the next real estate transaction.  Even the effort it takes to conjure up a new lead requires a great deal of work.  So, who says real estate agents don't work?  There are those who believe real estate agents don't really work, and why should they bring home those gargantuan commission checks.  Stick around and I will tell you why real estate agents do actually work.
Yes, I am a real estate … (0 comments)

real estate agent: Upper Marlboro, MD Real Estate: Buying A Home-Finding Your Type - 12/05/11 04:32 PM
As an Upper Marlboro, MD real estate agent, I have helped a variety of buyers purchase homes.  As a buyer's agent, you realize that buyer's will enter the process with different levels of understanding of the purchase process.  Also, you quickly realize that everyone has different personalities and purchase goals. Buyers, this includes first-time home buyers, buying a home requires much critical thinking.  It doesn't have to be a complicated process, but it will require your mental focus and energy.  First, have a sense of what type of properties are available in your real estate market.  This may include: condos, town … (0 comments)

real estate agent: Upper Marlboro, MD Real Estate: Coping Skills for Buyers and Sellers - 11/30/11 02:31 PM
As an Upper Marlboro, MD real estate agent, I look around and see houses for sale and houses for rent everywhere.  Where there are houses, there are buyers and sellers.  Somewhere in the process, there should be a real estate agent trying to keep things moving forward and from falling apart.  Lots of emotions come into play.  Personalities take shape and spring forth.  Thus, the real estate transaction can litterally become an emotional roller coaster ride. 
By long-term profession, I am a licensed social worker.  These skills really become handy when working with buyers and sellers.  Every real estate transaction is … (0 comments)

real estate agent: Upper Marlboro, MD Real Estate: Being A Home Buyer Is Not Easy - 11/28/11 11:35 AM
As an Upper Marlboro, MD real estate agent, I have worked with clients in the Maryland, DC, and Virginia region.  Does one client have a tougher journey than the other?  I'm sure the seller would say, "Yes, I do."  I'm sure the buyer would say, "No, my road has more bumps and potholes in it."  Well, since this article is buyer focused, then I would just say, "Being a home buyer is not easy."
As a buyer's agent, I know the road to home ownership can be very challenging at times.  While my goal as a buyer's agent is to provide … (0 comments)

real estate agent: Upper Marlboro MD Real Estate: The Great Pumpkin Real Estate Agent - 11/16/11 03:40 PM
Well, we all remember Linus van Pelt who writes his annual letter to The Great Pumpkin, despite Charlie Brown and the gang's dismissal of his beliefs.  Linus is convinced that the Great Pumpkin will come, and even persuades Sally to stay and wait with him.  The gang goes off trick-or-treating and then attends a Halloween party.  Linus and Sally continue to wait for the Great Pumpkin.  Snoopy leaves the Halloween party and heads to the pumkin patch.  When Linus sees a shadowy figure rising from the moonlit patch, he believes the Great Pumpkin has arrived, and faints.  When Sally sees that … (5 comments)

real estate agent: Upper Marlbor MD Real Estate: Marketing- I Have Unsubscribed to Your Emails - 10/18/11 10:09 AM
In a mass sea of realtors, if you don't swim, you'll definitely drown or be looking for someone to throw you a life line.  Though the current market has challenged our level of perseverance, there are still basic things that we do to get noticed and lure business.  We send out monthly email campaigns to prospects, feeding potential clients with nice little cards, fliers, and newsletters to remind them that we exist in this crowded sea.  But what happens when our monthly emails start to get rejected and you receive a message from your database saying, "Someone has just unsubscribed to … (2 comments)

real estate agent: Upper Marlboro, MD Real Estate: Learning to Persevere in a Slower Market - 11/28/07 02:05 AM
When I talk to people in general, the conversation focuses on the "doomsday" description that the media has given the current real estate market.  I respond boldly, "I can't feed into the media's negativity."  I further explain that if everyone fed into the constant woes of the market, there would be this mass panic for agents and no one would be thinking what he or she could do differently to get business in this market.  This becomes a test of one's creativity, persistence, saviness, and most of all faith.  I see this market as a time for me to step up my business skills and ability to gain buyers and sellers in a slower … (1 comments)
