Real estate agents can lose their license or suffer other consequences for unethical behavior. For example, agents cannot engage in false advertising. Such conduct would warrant some kind of legal consequence from the agent's state's governing body.False advertising consists of misrepresenting goods or services. Often, it entails misrepresenting qualities of a property. For example, an agent might include a 3ft-tall dirt-floor cellar in the square footage of a home, even though it does not provide living space. As a consequence, that agent could be subject to fines, revocation or suspension of her license, or some other consequence as outlined in the state's code. 09/28/2021

  Communication is everything. When it comes to business, communication can make or break you. Whether it be between clients, other parties, your brokerage, or the general public, your ability to effectively communicate will affect you. So, what are you missing?  It is important to note that communication is two-way. If you think you your communication tools may need some sharpening, then I suggest you turn outward, not inward. Your ability to communicate relies less on what you are saying and more on what your are hearing. What your client has to say about their interests, their dreams, their concerns, and their thoughts will influence you and your ability to help them far more than your own ability to convey what is on your mind. How could anyone help someone they know nothing about? ... 09/27/2021

With COVID-19, real estate professionals across the board experienced unprecedented shocks. Showings came to a standstill, open houses couldn’t be hosted or advertised, and buyer creditworthiness dipped with unemployment peaking to record levels. 2007-2009 housing crisis was fresh in people’s minds, so the general consensus for the housing market was rather dire. Real estate agent incomes were decimated, home builders sat on half-developed projects. Banks were obviously writing off Commercial Real Estate (CRE) loans, but they weren’t very optimistic about residential real estate either.No one predicted the strong housing market that followed in the wake of the lockdowns. But although the strong housing market is back, how we do things are vastly different from the pre-pandemic era. The ... 09/17/2021

Locally Owned and Operated Coffee Shops seem to have so much uniqueness about them that you just don't find in a chain store, that's why two best friends decided to go into business this past year to create an independent coffee house on the East side of Newnan.  Located at Summer grove's Market Square, Percolate Coffee and Boutique opened up with a goal in mind to provide a welcoming atmosphere for folks to enjoy a terrific coffee drink, maybe a muffin or two and hang out. When I frequent a coffee house, I like to know where the beans come from and a little about the roaster.  Aundrea (one of the owner's) said that they get their coffee from an in State Coffee Roaster, Jumpin Goat Coffee.  First off, the name is captivating!  Jumping goats have lots of energy, and besides the flavor, t... 09/14/2021

Over the next year or two what is more likely to happen is home prices will continue to rise, but at a much slower pace. Most of the bidding wars will simmer down, and the insane offers over asking price will eventually come down.That said that doesn’t housing mean prices will return to their pre-pandemic 2020 levels. Listing prices are expected to continue rising to meet sale prices, but the overall annual increases should not be as brutal.The only way you would see housing prices significantly change would be if the mortgage rates shot up pretty substantially along with a lot of homes flooding the market. Record-low mortgage rates have allowed current buyers to purchase much more expensive homes all while keeping their monthly payments within their budgets. As the lending rates rise, ... 09/14/2021

I represent taxpayers in Boulder, CO and Denver, CO Metropolitan, CO who have issues with unpaid taxes  and outstanding tax liabilities, back taxes and wage garnishments. The majority of taxpayers filed their 2020 tax returns on or before May 17, 2020. For taxpayers who requested an extra six months to file their 2020 tax return, a deadline to file your tax return is fast approaching. As a reminder, Friday, October 15, 2021 is the extension deadline for most taxpayers. Taxpayers who owe taxes, even those who did not request an extension, and who have yet to file their 2020 tax return can generally avoid additional penalties and interest by filing the return as soon as possible and paying any balance due.Taxpayers should keep the following things in mind regarding the extension deadline ... 09/12/2021
