A Thanksgiving Real Estate Story

I’m greatful that I get to work in this wonderful world of real estate sales.  Every family that is buying or selling a home has a story to tell me.  Every investor renting, buying or selling a building or entrepreneur buying or selling a business brings the agent into their lives during the transaction and often long lasting friendships are forged. What I [...]

7 reasons to make sure your agent can read well…

I’m not addressing whether or not your agent has dyslexia or if they are perhaps illiterate.  No, I’m putting out there that there can occasionally be a lack of reading on the part of an agent when it comes to documents that may be very important to purchase of a property. Rather than focus on [...]

A reader asked me this great question today, and I simply don’t know the answer. Can anyone give him some advice?
As a buyer of new construction, we recently found out that the builder wasn’t going to make our late July completion date. Instead the builder estimated a mid-September completion. Ugh, we have a child [...]

Should you have an Open House?

I just sold another house from an Open House this weekend, and am reminded of all of the articles about how Open Houses do not sell houses. Sometimes I think the articles are sponsored by agents who don’t want to spend their Sundays working
I have changed a few things that I do [...]
