I feel we are not aware of something we do all the time that may bite us in the rear if you are not careful.  What do you think it is? We write comments on others peoples blogs.  You have to remember that this is another written record of how you feel about certain situations.  A written record of your personality.  A written record of who you are.  Sooner or later a newspaper columnist or magazine may use the comments that we write as fodder for a news article.                                              SO WHO ARE YOU REALLY?  If you are being rude, obnoxious, off in left field, or "not politically correct" this may come to the attention of a potential client.  Now I'm not advocating not standing up or being controversial.  Or not standing up for your beliefs, religious or otherwise.... 03/24/2009

"How is the market doing" and "what is my home worth right now" and "can I afford to sell"--these are all common questions foremost in most seller's minds today.  In an attempt to identify the current market status, here are statistics for Beverly Hills for a six month period from 2/1/2008 to 7/31/2008.  Also there is a comparison from the same period one year ago.  The statistics are based on all homes with a basement, a garage (any size), minimum 3 bedrooms and minimum one bath.  This does not indicate what indvidual homes may be currently worth since all homes vary in number of baths, individual updates of mechanicals and interiors etc.  However, this will give an idea of the overall picture.  If you would like a free comparative market analysis on your home, click here.

Earlier this year, I organized a twilight open house for our firm’s listings in Beverly Hills, Michigan.  The office had 12 listings there at the time.  My hope was twofold: to bring in potential buyers, and to attract real estate agents to preview our properties. We did a couple of things to take this open house to the next level, and I think we had a pretty successful event. We had a web page just for the event, with its own memorable URL, TheRealBeverlyHills.com.  The page listed all the sponsors, had links to the houses, spiffy maps and home descriptions.  (Now that URL points back to my site.)We had special yard signs made that we put up early in the week throughout town to attract people.  One was also placed in front of each home on the tour.  These had our  URL on them, of cour... 09/22/2006
