Ahhhhhh.... Virtual tours.  The joy of previewing a property without leaving your chair:) I know buyers like virtual tours, and I think most sellers like the idea of them.... but I have sort of mixed emotions about their 'bare all'-ness.  First - I just want to say that compiling your 12 or 16 or...

There’s a whole group of houses out there that often go unnoticed.  And, I would argue that they’re some of the best houses on the market…  However, their almost pleading “Keep Showing” status is usually ignored.

In keeping with my "I've Never Done This Before" mindset - I'm advertising in a whole new place.... THE KITCHEN TABLE.....          ....IN A COMPETING LISTING!

I first read Michael Corbett's Ready, Set, SOLD! a few years ago, but let's face it.... selling real estate isn't getting any easier.

First of all, let me start this off with a sad story.  It's been so long since I've written a blog post.... that I forgot my user name/password combination....  Terrible, I know.  I will try to be better. But, now for the good news!!!!! Our master bath remodel is DONE!  If you look back at old bl...

My newest video, "For Sale By Owner - "The Pitfalls" touches on just a few risks sellers take when attempting to sell their home without a Realtor. I could go on all day about the danger of inviting strangers into your home - showing them all around - and hoping they're a legitimate, qualified bu...

So, we're slowly but surely plugging through our master bathroom remodel.  Turns out.... Matt and I have very nice taste.  (Read, our costs are adding up.) As I've mentioned before, I'm absolutely terrible about taking "before" pictures.  This time I kind of have an excuse though.  On the day dem...

I can't take the credit for this video, but I CAN repost it:) Here's the video link - in case my "embedding" isn't any better than it was last time:) Disappearing Agent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jppxqQLKQ3g&feature=relmfu I can't guarantee that all RE/MAX agents dutifully contact their clie...
