It's kind of funny, I think.  Yesterday, I shared two recent testimonials from sellers.  Today I received an email testimonial from a past seller.  I sold their home last year...  At the closing table, I always hand the client a typewritten request for a tesimonial and a SASE.  More often than not, I don't get them back.  It gets stuffed in the envelope with all the other closing papers and that's where it stays.  Clients are busy, just like me.  I understand how it can be overlooked.  That's why I'm so excited today to receive this one..."We would recommend Tim Tanz with great enthusiasm to potential home sellers in the St. Louis area.  We put our St. Louis Hills home on the market during the summer of 2006.  On a street with highly similar homes, several were for sale at the same time... 08/03/2007

It's definitely summer out there.  It's getting hotter and hotter.  That's St Louis in August, though..  I'm trying to keep up with the watering.  I'm grateful for the soaker hoses, but I've decided that next year, I won't do so many potted plants.My listing on Potomac went under contract yesterday.  I showed it three times myself on Monday and again on Tuesday.  A Buyer's Agent brought us a contract and the sellers accepted it.  I felt it was a really good offer and was glad the sellers agreed with me.  This proves the point, that a property correctly priced for today's market will move pretty quickly...We're still working on the apartment on Miami.  The goal was to have it ready to rent by the end of July.  That didn't happen.  So, now I'm aiming for the end of August.  I try to get m... 08/01/2007

Showed a buyer properties for the second time today.  We had appointments to see thirteen different properties.  I was expecting a long afternoon, especially since it's so hot outside; but this buyer and his partner are great.  If they don't like a house, we don't stay; we move right on to the next one.  On three houses, we didn't even get out of the car.  That speeded things up.  We found three houses that they liked - not enough to write on, though....  I'm taking him out again on Monday.I'm taking a new buyer out tomorrow afternoon.  I have eleven appointments to set for him tomorrow morning.I created a virtual media presentation for my new listing at 3841 Potomac street. Please visit the following link to view:   http://www.realestateshows.com/192333We're going to Pietro's Restauran... 07/28/2007

St. Louis is a mirror to real estate all over the country in that there is an overabundance of inventory and homes must "stand out from the crowd" to attain a speedy sale. While the "show me" state always watches for outcomes before adopting new trends, our time has come. Home Staging companies are being developed and are opening in our area with great results.   Many regions in the country have already learned that hiring a professional staging company can speed the sale with an average of 50% less days on market and increase price with offers of 3-13% higher. Home staging assists agents and sellers to highlight the best features of a home while downplaying the negatives. Selling a home is a stressful and highly emotional task for sellers. Agents and realtors need to use all the tools ... 07/23/2007
