I had an interesting conversation yesterday with one of my Sellers. This poor guy was on the market for 7 months with another Realtor and only had 3 showings during that period. Well, fortunately for him, he listed his property with me last week. As usual I gave him the talk about leaving the hou...

 On Friday, I had written a post, that facilitated quite a discussion about our commissions and how we justify what we charge. If you read my post and the 110+ comments, it generated, you saw that the consumer, Mr. CandiBags showed up. He asked a pretty good question, that I would like to expand ...

Hi folks. I have been reading and participating in a very heated debate over at the BloodhoundBlog today. It seems, a consumer has chimed in, and is asking us to explain what it is we do, to justify our high commissions, when the consumer is now able to find all the information they need, to buy ...

I met again with my pre-foreclosure folks today and the bank is not willing to do a loan modification. It seems, since he is working on his disability, a modification is just going to delay the fact that he still may not be able to make payments. So, this opens the door to an investment opportuni...

And Lo and behold! "The Lovely Wife" was off the dashboard. I got really worried and started looking ...

I read on another forum today, a post, from a Realtor wanting to put together a class action suit against housevalues.com. I have actually never visited this web site but thought I best check it out to see what all the fuss is about. Well, basically it is nothing more than a “lead” generating ser...

Yesterday, two things happened that showed me why it is so important to always do the right thing. Both were related to closings and last minute changes to the HUD. The first was a deal I had negotiated several weeks ago where the Seller had agreed to pay $8,000 towards the Buyer’s closing cost. ...

I have been in Real Estate for 12 years and today is the day I have been waiting for. I am so excited I can’t stand it. Are you ready? Today I listed “The Best House In Poinciana”! Don’t believe me? Then call the Seller and ask him. “Mr. Seller, I hear you have “The Best House In Poinciana”.” “Ye...

Today I met with another pre-foreclosure Seller. I sure am getting a lot of these lately. Anyway, I spoke with this gentleman yesterday and could tell he was really stressed out. Life had dealt him a bad hand this year, health wise, and he has found himself disabled and unable to make mortgage pa...
