BOTHER A REALTOR®

Today, I was researching Real Estate Apps from my phone. On one of the applications, I saw a user’s comment that read, “I want to find information on a house (online) before I bother a REALTOR®.” I’m sure I speak for many of us when I say, “PLEASE, BOTHER US!” For one, it’s not aContinueContinue reading “BOTHER A REALTOR®”

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”

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 newContinueContinue reading “Model Home Tours”

Divorcing my husband and my house!

The power and strength in women nowadays is exhilarating to witness.  Women have certainly come a long way from being just a, “damsel in distress.”  We’ve paved our own way in this path called life; we don’t know everything and we’ll still get lost, but one thing’s for sure, WE’RE NOT AFRAID TO ASK FOR DIRECTIONS!ContinueContinue reading “Divorcing my husband and my house!”

Home Builder Facts

“WHAT?!?  The builder didn’t tell me that!” We’re not here to criticize home builders—we love working with them! However, many people aren’t aware of how builders and REALTORS® work together, which can lead to misunderstandings. Often, buyers visit a model home, meet with the Sales Counselor, choose a house, and then go on autopilot untilContinueContinue reading “Home Builder Facts”
