I thought this would be an intriguing question to ask to experienced real estate agents and home sellers.. so here goes..."How Many Homes Do You Have to Sell Before You Are an Expert?"  In real estate these days there are so many catchy phrases, slogans, and tag lines that promote the employment ...

I guess the biggest question that home sellers ask us is "What is the best time to put a home on the market?"  The answer may be different in each case, but the response should be made on fact rather than making up an answer.  It has been our experience that most people think like others.  The ti...

I find the number one thing that makes a real estate website successful is that it has to be found easily on the search engines with consumer terms.  I prefer to use terms like "Atlanta Homes For Sale!" rather than "Atlanta Real Estate." I am more concerned that a consumer find our site by lookin...

It doesn't take any skill whatsoever to give away business for little or no fee.  In fact there is no skill at all in running a business like that.  Discounts, rebates, do-it-yourself realty companies catering to For Sale By Owners / FSBOS...are the buzz word!  Since real estate right now is havi...

A lot of Atlanta homes sellers don't want to paint, clean or fix anything when you are at the home on the listing presentation.  They always assume they have the best home, the most square footage, the biggest lot, the best nails and so on!  Isn't that always the way?  The house down the street t...

Over the years of selling and showing homes that are for sale, usually the listing agents are very good about placing a notice about vicious pets or dogs.  Sometimes the home is listed as appointment only so that the seller can come home and take the pet out of the home or contain the pet.  Most ...

Listing appointments can be real interesting when a home owner starts making demands on how they want the home listed.  I guess it is OK when it is a sellers market and there are no other homes available.  But that is not the case when the market is buyers market. If a seller says no signs, I ask...

It is occurring more frequently that Internet buyers are not asking to work with a buyers agent to represent them, rather they want someone to open the door and let them in!  Agents that do not have lot of experience are fueling this.  Since many agents do not sell a lot of homes a year either on...

More often than not agents come to me and tell me that they have 20 listings, and none of them are under contract or pending sale.  The reason is that they took listings at whatever price the home owner requested.  It is just easier to do, not being the professional, and not telling home sellers ...
