My recent blog vacation is over!  Fortunately, I have been too busy to blog recently.  Unfortunately not because I have had too much business, but family commitments have kept me rolling.  However, now I am back and ready to rock again.  Let's chat today about Twitter, as I am just really startin...

On our way back from lovely Tarrytown NY, we stopped by the restored Strasburg Railroad in Strasburg PA.  Let me first state that my son, while only 4, is an absolute train fanatic.  He has memorized the names of every Thomas the Tank Engine character, and also many different engines and cars tha...

Okay, an agent I sometimes partner with received his first REO listing this week and asked me to come along.  I had some free time and, since he is my father in law, thought I would preview it with him and see how it looked.  Driving up, it looked great.  However, once we were inside there were s...

So I am currently reading "The Undiscovered Self" by Carl Jung.  Odd book for a REALTOR to pick up, but I have always found the human psyche fascinating, and Jung is a favorite.  At any rate, one particular passage really struck me.  "...the value of a community depends on the spiritual and moral...

  1) Move out all of your furniture. 2) Have your home professionally cleaned. 3) Move in with your relatives, or get a hotel room until your home sells. That sounds pretty ridiculous, right? Well, many people actually believe that is the best way to sell their home. A lot of the misconceptions r...

  I recently sold a townhome in a neighborhood in North Stafford.. I had heard good things about the model, the prices were affordable and my client was looking for an urban setting close to work. Off we went, about 20 minutes north on I-95, to the Aquia Harbor exit. The townhomes were, in fact, ...

Let's talk about earnest money. Most clients want to know that you are sincere in your attempt to purchase their home. I know there are a lot of people out there who tout buying property with "NO MONEY DOWN" but I am not one of those. If you do not have a down payment, you need to start saving fo...
