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 comesContinue 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 thatContinue reading “I’M NOT CUT-OUT FOR USED CAR SALES”

“Saturday Night Fever!”

I’ve toured thousands of homes over the years.  Many styles have come and gone.  Some styles make a comeback.  Some “comebacks” should have stayed in the Time Capsule!  🙂 Today’s most interesting find… A DISCO BALL IN THE BATHROOM!  And to top it off, there’s a groovy red heat lamp that goes with it!  Continue reading ““Saturday Night Fever!””

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 aContinue reading “Low-Ball Offers”

Yes to HOA’s

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 try toContinue reading “Yes to HOA’s”

Model Home Tours

From Historical Homes to brand new construction… I enjoy previewing homes.  I NEED to know what’s out there so I’m armed with knowledge when a Buyer calls! The past couple of weeks, I’ve taken some time to tour Model Homes by “Sivage Homes.”  Most Builders showcase a Model to give a buyer an idea of what their newContinue reading “Model Home Tours”

Hollywood Park Home

GROOVY HOMES NEED LOVE, TOO! “Wood” you do something different to this kitchen?  The potential buyer liked the feel of this home.  It reminded him of the home he grew up in. Would YOU make a low-ball offer even though you like this 70’s design? If the 70’s-Style was MY bag, baby… I would certainlyContinue reading “Hollywood Park Home”
