My biggest pet peave about Summer showings is when we come into a home that is up for sale and the A/C system is knocked way up to 85-88-90.  You may be off at work, Mr./Mrs. Seller, but your home is my office this day, and I'm trying to sell it for you.  Consider that the hundred dollars you'll ...

Buyers coming to our area from other parts of the country bring with them a knowledge base related to real estate that basically has to be thrown out the window.  This is especially true if they are moving from other major metropolitan cities.  The major reason their logic doesn't apply very well...

There are two main strategies that get homes sold in Prosper, Texas.  The first is exposure.  You have to have enough lines in the water to catch that fish we call BUYER.  You may get a few nibbles that get you all excited, but we're looking for that one fish who wants the house and can qualify f...

When I entered the real estate profession in 2002, it was with a fierce determination to succeed, almost 20 years in the workforce under my belt, a business degree, a professional certification, and no clue.  Real estate classes were fun.  Dry material, but a fun topic, and the classes are design...
