  Responding to Low Offers   The beginning of negotiations is usually the end of many months of hard work for the buyer or seller. The work ahead requires skill in order to maintain a strong position.Sellers can lose their advantage if they do not counter an offer that a buyer has made. Even if the opening offer is beneath what the seller feels is reasonable, it is advisable for the seller to respond with a slight reduction from the asking price. The most important component in negotiating is good communication.The best way to handle a low offer is to counter it with definite terms that are favorable to the seller. A counter offer has two advantages: 1) it keeps the buyer interested, and 2) it moves the negotiation forward and gives the buyer the opportunity to submit another offer that...

The Tanglewood area has long been a popular subdivision for both weekenders as well as those looking for a full-time home at Lake Texoma.  Just a few attributes that make Tanglewood so desirable are the proximity to Highport marina, the gorgeous hotel and grounds, several restaurants within the resort - Barnacles Sports bar and pizzaria (a great spot for pizza) and the dining room for a more formal experience or a great Sunday brunch! Located only an hour north of Dallas the Tanglewood resort area is great for business or for vacationing. There is also a golf course and clubhouse, horseback riding, 3 pools, a hot tub, tennis courts, volleyball and so much more.  The rolling hills and towering trees of Tanglewood are also features that attract so many potential home buyers.  No two homes...

Pottsboro real estate is definitely a valuable investment! With a property in this great neighborhood you can enjoy all the benefits that the lake and its surrounding establishments can offer you. This huge lake geographically belongs to two great states – Oklahoma and Texas. Both states have dozens of communities that are situated near the lake.

Pottsboro Texas Real Estate For Sale - As many of you know that have read my posts in the past, I feel absolutely blessed to live in the Lake Texoma / Pottsboro area.  And for many reasons really -- first off I am able to get up everyday and do what I love - help people find homes.  For me, I don't think I would get the kind of joy out of my work that I do if I lived and worked somewhere else.  It's nice to be able to point out houses I've sold and to have such a deep knowledge of the area.  I am able to help my clients with great confidence because I know in my heart that I am extremely "in the know" about Pottsboro. Second- living here makes you feel like you're on vacation nearly year round (I did not feel like I was on vacation during the stint where our little piece of paradise was...

We are fortunate in North Texas to have not experienced a market like many others throughout the United States - our prices have stayed fairly stable and we still have sellers that want to sell and buyers that want to buy.  One thing that has changed though is the mind of the buyer.  Every buyer seems to be watching the news, HGTV and a number of other programs that either make them feel that every house should be perfect or that every house is in distress.  How does this effect you as a seller?  You get a choice - either fire sale that house that you don't want to fix up or if you want top dollar that home needs to be a show house!  Who you choose to market your property makes all the difference in the world too (of course!) Get rid of excess clutter - you want your house to show these...

Real estate in the Pottsboro / Lake Texoma area is hopping right now! For a long time I had felt that my current site just didn't have the capabilities that I wanted it to have... Sooo..over the past few months much effort has been put into revamping my entire site so that it's more user friendly to those looking for property and area information in our great area.  A brief rundown of my new site: The homes are seperated into such categories as Lakefront, Lakeview, Homes With Boatslips, Foreclosures and I also have a link that will take you directly to the homes that are for sale within specific subdivisions.

Lakeview Homes In Pottsboro -  Spend some time here, relax, breathe the fresh air, and once you've been here, you'll find out how hard it is to leave. Like other Lake Texoma residents who enjoy and appreciate the home town feeling, once you've moved here, you'll ask yourself what took you so long. With all this area has to offer, you won't be the first to wake up and pinch yourself, hardly believing what a wonderful place you've found to live. Communities around the lake such as:  Russwood, Tanglewood, Preston Forrest, Glen Ellen & Glen Eden boast impressive views, but there are also other smaller locations around the lake that offer expansive views as well.                                                                                                                                   ...

This week I had the pleasure of visiting the Florida Keys.  We started out in Fort Meyers, spent the night there -had an absolute blast!  The following morning we hit the ground running super early to take the Key West Express to the island.  I thought I was in heaven when we pulled into the harbor - the water was amazing, the boats were huge, the houses were charming and there was shopping everywhere!   Whenever I visit somewhere I think about what it would be like to be a local and live where I'm vacationing, full time.  To me it would be extremely difficult to live in such tight spaces (a huge house there is 1,500 sq feet) and most of the time there is no yard.  Driving around by scooter might make up for this though... :-)  Then I thought back to Texas - closer to Dallas there are a...
