When folks hire an agent to list and market their home...they should take the advise the agent gives them. Seems like a no-brainer right? Well...sometimes no matter how much you try to educate your seller clients, they still have to "help". Recently, I had a very nice home listed which had the du

The typical way that it works with banks is that they lend money giving the consumer an interest rate based on their perceived credit worthiness. What if agents could "rate" banks based on their performance in completing loan modifications and short sales? Hummm...that would be FUN! I am not a re

I have heard the phrase "It's like trying to herd cats" twice in the last couple of days. I like this saying. And it seems to me that it is the perfect description of the life of a Realtor in the FUN market we are experiencing...at least here in sunny Arizona. It can relate in a number of areas b
