Hi folks! I just realized today, that it has been 3 days since I wrote a post for my Blog. To be honest, that is really out of character for me. I am always very consistent and persistent in every thing I do. It’s my nature. It’s my character. The last post I wrote was about character and here I

There have been quite a few posts lately, about what can be done about unprofessional and untrained Realtors, including this one from me. Clueless Realtors, whether new to the game or seasoned “pros”, can really make our jobs a lot more difficult than they need be and give the consumer valid reas

Ok, I guess I am on a roll this week when it comes to dealing with clueless Realtors. Not that this is anything new, it just seems that I have had a whole bunch of them this week. So, I’ve been thinking. Why is it that so many Realtors are clueless? They’ve all been through very intense (joke) Fl

Today, I worked on pushing one of my deals towards closing. The usual stuff, make sure title work has been completed and forwarded to the lender, get the appraiser in, check on the status of the survey and order payoff info. All is going well and according to schedule. The closing is scheduled fo

Man, do I have a headache today! It seems like I have been banging my head into a brick wall all day long. I have five deals I’m trying to negotiate and it has been like pulling teeth just to be able to reach the Realtors and communicate. I am pretty excited to have all these offers but honestly

Ok so I’m here to toot some horns today. Not mine, but I do feel compelled to highlight a couple members of ActiveRain and a few off site Blogs. Why? Because I think they have something important to say and we all should be made aware of it. I’m talking about mortgage fraud. I know this subject h

Today was one of those days that reminds me of why I do what I do. I am in Real Estate to help people. Sometimes I can and sometimes I can’t, but I can never stop trying. This is a true real life example of some of the problems our elderly have in this country. The names have been changed to prot

I don’t know about you but I love things in multiple. Multiple zeros on my bank balance, multiple listings, multiple closings and of course, multiple offers. Multiple offers, are one of my favorite things. It really places my Seller in the driver’s seat when it comes to negotiating and normally m

I had a pretty good day today. I got to do the thing I enjoy most about Real Estate and that is negotiating. The good thing about negotiating is, that if I’m successful, I get to place one of my listings pending. That means that in 30 days or so, my Sellers can move on with their lives and I get

Let the games begin! Ok, so I just received a call today. I’ve kind of been expecting it but was hoping it wouldn’t come for a while. The call I received was from an Appraiser. Now, since I sell a lot of properties in my market, I get one of these about every week, asking me about a recent sale,
