4 Things Your Realtor Should Do
When someone calls about buying a home, there are always many questions, as there should be, but sometimes I am asked about everything but real estate. Recently I have been asked about how to change a detrimental credit score, how to handle somebody's in laws, and my favorite question, "How much can you loan me on that house?" I do not fault anyone for asking most questions because the Realtor's role is sometimes fuzzy at best for the first time home buyer. Although I am not a banker (but I was at one time), a counselor (but I am an ordained minister) or a credit specialist, I am always glad to point people in the right direction for answers to their questions, and am learning that in Real Estate, there are some things that I SHOULD do for my customer, and try very hard to accomplish.

Spring May Be Too Late
To Everything, There Is A Season
Seasons come and go, and many times, we are already looking forward to the next season, not long after the current one arrives. Most people will say, "I can't wait for summer, and then there will be no snow." Then when that dreaded heatwave hits and we are suffering in 100 degree sweltering temperatures, we begin to look forward to fall. Those ready to sell their home are more than likely looking forward to spring.

One of those opportunities could be purchasing a home.
Market Matters
At the present time, the market is looking very hopeful as the number of first time homebuyers has risen consistently in the last couple of months. This fact along is great ne...

Why Should You Use A Realtor Like Me?
Everywhere I go, I am consistently being asked, "what is the benefit of using a Realtor"? There are some people out there, who believe that the only way that they benefit from selling their home, or finding a home, is by doing it themselves. You may be one of those people, and no hard feelings if that is the case, but my question in return is "why would you pass up using a professional on the largest financial investment that you own?" The better way to answer the original question is to answer some of the other questions I get asked consistently, and more specifically the question, why should I be your realtor?
Q: When I hire a realtor, doesn't that just cut into my profit?

Communities Count
Like everyone else who lives in Kentucky, I am proud to be a part of our local and regional community. The business community and social community. I am proud of our local schools who raise the bar and invest in the next generations. I am proud of the local churches and non profits that work together to care for those less fortunate. I am proud of the local businesses that budget each year to contribute to educational and social programs that benefit everyone. I am proud of the heritage of growing up in Appalachia, where family means something, and helping your neighbor is a way of life, not just a slogan.
For me, being a Realtor is about more than just selling houses, it's about marketing my community to people looking at moving and settling in here. Serving my friends and neighbors as well as they purchase and sell their largest asset and investment. I firmly believe that without community mem...
