I received a call from a local commercial real estate agent interested in a duplex I had listed. He explained that he does not have Supra key access and would be representing himself on the purchase.  We agreed to meet at the property, and I would provide access. We spent 2 hours at the property.  I answered all of his questions. He was drooling. He wanted the property. He lives less than 2 miles away.He had preapproval yet it was not nearly enough to make the purchase.  He asked if I had other lenders I could recommend.  Why yes, I do.  He actually worked with two lenders I recommended.No matter how he tried to slice and dice it, he just could not understand the commission he had not yet earned on his commercial real estate business and the commission from the purchase of the duplex, c...

For my first entry, I am choosing directly from the list of suggestions in Patricia’s Challenge Post.  Buyer's Agent presents an offer and does not fill in all the blanks.Before I dive into this, I need to say that this has happened 100% of the time with all offers received on my listings.  Dare I say, this is a huge peeve of mine.Describe the scenario. In this situation, I am the listing agent. During this time the market was still a relatively hot seller market with multiple offers over the list price. This particular property was in a “highly desirable area” with buyers competing for homes.  Who is involved?  Listing Broker (Kathleen Daniels), Out of State Seller (name intentionally omitted), and a parade of people masquerading as professionals in the real estate business. What happe...

We have also experienced minute reduction in working force in Silicon Valley. What is not clear is the housing industry is still very active. What we do not see is homes still quickly sold over 25% as a few months ago. Rather most homes sellers still have more buyers than they know what to do. Unless homes are grossly overpriced offers come in without viewing.    As Feds appear to stall interest rate increase, people ...
