The other day, I received a call from Mr. Seller. Mr. Seller was referred to me by an acquaintance. Mr. Seller started the “phone interview” by saying he was looking to sell his house and he had ONE very important question for me.

HOUSE-HUNTERS
HGTV is my MTV and “House-Hunters” is one of my favorite “music videos!” HGTV has been airing “House-Hunters” over and over and over again. The scenarios with each couple are also repetitive.

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
