Weekend Perspectives
Coming to real estate from advertising has several advantages. I learned invaluable marketing skills, how to cut through the clutter, negotiating, the sales process front to back and top to bottom. These are all things I can now use to help my clients achieve their goals. I also get top be on the radio once in a while. Here is a link to my December 2009 radio interview.

I had a thought today and said to myself I should have a blog and write about that. I guess it has been a while since I “blogged”. I was asked to value a rental property from the hip. I made some assumptions and with the aid of my spreadsheet I gave a pretty tight
Good Fences

The last week has been a hectic one, it seems everybody is “getting back to work”. Fencing, not sword play but the screening and privacy type, came up several times with both current clients and a few that have already bought. When I shop with buyer’s we are always looking at the houses next door
What if?

I often wonder what would have happened if insight or experience had not told me to make the call, or second guess. I was half way through negotiating a counter offer on a near east side home for a client. We were hung up on some inspection language. They had checked yes in the c21
The Title Company, a necessary evil?

Maybe this only happens to me, but every once in a while people will get down on the title company, calling them vultures of the real estate industry with their nickel and dime fees, added costs and perceived bureaucracy.

The Coop Scoop

You may or may not know that I keep some chickens in the yard so if that is a pre-requisite for your next real estate agent, we’re all set. If it is merely and added benefit that your agent can advise you on coop design and the suitability of your yard for poultry raising then

A recent email with a pretty common dilemma. Ben- I was given your name from a friend, Bridget N.. I was wondering if you could answer a question for me? We are putting our house on the market in 1-2 years. This summer we are going to update our bathroom. Our biggest question right now
Let there be light

So I get around a bit, not so much it is a bad thing but I have been in a few houses. When you visit a home unknown to you, you have certain expectations. You walk into a dark room and look to the left and right inside the door for a switch, no switch

I would struggle to make something more convincing up. I present for your consideration… Hi Ben, I am done messing around with FSBO. Would you be my agent? I have it listed at ——. I need to sell it for —— to pay off the mortgage and pay 6%. The latest tax assessment came in
