REALTORS® are Secret Weapons
Chances are, if you’re thinking about buying a home, you are wanting to research as much information as possible before speaking with a “salesperson.” I don’t blame you. When I’m shopping for a car, I do the EXACT same thing. I want to be armed with information so I feel like I have more control.ContinueContinue reading “REALTORS® are Secret Weapons”
ARM WRESTLING: Buyer-VS-Seller
BUYERS CAN HAVE LEVERAGE! Don’t let anyone tell you differently. One seller lost out on my Buyer’s offer because he didn’t want to budge on his price or on closing costs. The Seller would rather wait and see if his “back-up” buyer fixes his credit and pays full price. He HOPES the back-up buyer comesContinueContinue reading “ARM WRESTLING: Buyer-VS-Seller”
I’M NOT CUT-OUT FOR USED CAR SALES
If I were a used car salesperson, I’d have the WORSE sales record EVER! If I knew a car was just pulled out of a river or if the engine was being held by twist-ties, I would send you to another dealership. I’m not saying that all car salespeople are unethical, I’m just saying thatContinueContinue reading “I’M NOT CUT-OUT FOR USED CAR SALES”
Low-Ball Offers
A few years ago, if a Buyer told me, “I want to submit a low-ball offer just to see what the Seller says,” I’d say… “Go ahead, IF you’re not serious about buying the home.” Back then, we had SO MANY buyers shopping because of the Tax Credit (and great rates), it was practically aContinueContinue reading “Low-Ball Offers”

This house might be fun to pass by if you’re living on a street called “Candy Land!” “Won’t you be my neighbor?” Uhh… No! I don’t think so. Here’s a perfect example of why HOA’s are a good thing for a community. Can you imagine the frustration the neighbors will have when they tryContinue readingContinue reading “Yes to HOA’s”
Home Tour – 16May2011
I have buyers looking for homes all over the city. Today, I toured a Model Home in the Southeast side of town. Sivage Homes is offering fantastic floor-plans at super Springtime Prices! What I love about this neighborhood is that a small city park is on the property. Right behind the model home (shown inContinueContinue reading “Home Tour – 16May2011”
Dream Home turns into a NIGHTMARE
After about three years in their new home, a young couple’s mortgage payment increased, the husband’s income decreased and now they are about to lose their dream home. Trying to salvage their credit, the couple is attempting to list and sell their house before the bank forecloses on them. In the meantime, the young coupleContinueContinue reading “Dream Home turns into a NIGHTMARE”
PHOTO FAIL: Backyard Pool
Believe it or not… This is an actual photo from a current listing! The gutter is falling off the roof and the pool is full of debris. At least the caption didn’t read, “Don’t splash water in your soda while you swim in your sparkling pool!” I’m sure the photo was intended to “Disclose” theContinueContinue reading “PHOTO FAIL: Backyard Pool”
