Some days I have files which seem to be in a holding pattern. This is how I started today - waiting! Often, a transaction can get held up over the simplest detail, like an updated preapproval, or a signature from the 2nd spouse on an accepted/revised purchase offer. Why does it take so long for e...

I hope some of you won't mind a recycled post! I've never recycled a post before but I just joined a new group tonight - Diary of a Realtor. And, I thought this would be an appropriate first post to the group. It's short and sweet -  many of you can relate! Enjoy!     I had a 12:30 hair appointme...

After a short sale fall through a few months ago, I began sitting buyers down and trying to help them understand the 3 tier housing market - traditional sales, short sales and bank owned/foreclosed properties (REO).

Suddenly out of nowhere today, during a closing a baby started laughing. It was loud laughter too. But, there was no baby in the room. Everybody looked at me! I couldn't silence my phone fast enough. I was a little embarresed about forgetting to put my phone on vibrate, and I was a little shy abo...

"Shhh. Don't say the V - Word too loud" my broker once told me! I learned early on when I was a new agent that a vacation or weekend get-away can often trigger business activity - a new listing opportunity, a new buyer lead or an offer on one of my listings. For me, it's almost a given that I wil...

At least Real Estate is alive and well. When I signed onto my computer this morning to retrieve my email, I found an interesting news blurb regarding 25 things that are quickly disappearing from our country - from dial up Internet networking & land lines to cameras that uses film. I just have to ...

So, what's an agent to do when her instinct tells her a deal might be going south? My clients vacated last week.
