I don't know if this is a trend or not but negotiations with Buyer's Agents seem to be getting really easy. Supposedly a lot of Realtors haven't had a closing in a while and are very anxious to get deals negotiated and pending. Kind of scary I guess if you are a Buyer but being a Seller's Broker,...

OK, is every one tired of hearing me talk about Range Pricing yet? Well, if it helps, I'm tired of writing about it, BUT, yep, always has to be a but, I have had several conversations going over the last couple of months about Range Pricing and how it works and why the majority of Realtors just d...

Hi folks. Today I have a dilemma. As you may know, I have been at the top of the "Top Blogs" section of ActiveRain for quite a while. I'm not sure how long it's been but I think it's at least 2 months. Now some may say, "What difference does it make?" Well, to me, I like it. It means folks are re...

One of the best decisions I have made in my business was not to work with Buyers. Driving around showing properties all day is not my idea of fun, I just don‘t have the patience for it. How do you do this and still manage to keep your sanity? Do you enjoy it or is it just something you do because...

So today I placed one of my listings pending. It took a week to get this deal negotiated. This deal is another example of how hanging in there and not giving up can have positive results. Now this was not a huge deal, in fact it's a vacant lot and the final agreed price is only $41,000. But you k...

I woke up today in such a good mood. My Seller, mentioned in my last post, received his money late yesterday afternoon and I had a pretty light schedule today. Then I read my E-mails only to find that our MFRMLS rules have just been changed and the rules relating to Range Pricing have effectively...

You know, there is one thing I just hate, when I have a closing, now don't get me wrong, I love closings but I hate it when I get my check before my Seller gets their money. This seems to the trend lately in my area. Here's how it works. I had a closing scheduled for 4:00 last Friday. Now my Sell...

Commission advance companies. Loan sharks or helping hand! Nine years ago when TLW and I opened Tutas Towne Realty, Inc., we did it on a shoe string. Actually, I guess it was more of a goose egg, than a shoestring, since we didn't have any money. We opened our business on pure determination and a...

I was so excited today. I got a call from a Realtor that had just showed one of my listings and his Buyer wanted to make an offer. This was exciting because I just placed the property on the market last week. It was an expired listing and a brand new home. The folks that own it had closed on it b...

Do you ever take postdated listings? What I mean is, a potential Seller calls you up and wants to get together and discuss placing their property on the market, the catch is, they are currently listed with another company. What do you do? Well, I'll tell you what I do, I go over and take the list...
