Real Estate, like any business has its trends and turns. There are so many aspects to how the profession operates, that its impossible for the general public to know the "ins and outs". Thinking back over the last several months and the questions that I am hearing, there are three things that every person should know about a Realtor...

1. I Can Show You Almost Any Property

As a licensed Realtor, I am available to show you any property that is listed with any company. This affords me the opportunity to help you find property that fits your criteria, even if its not listed through my office. Agents work together many times to help you and serve your Real Estate needs.

When you are ready to place your home on the market, it can be both exciting and nerve racking, especially if you are going it alone without the help of a Realtor. Many time, people will try to "spruce the place up", or "re decorate", when all that really needs to happen is the opposite. If you are ready to sell your home, then I suggest that you stay away from these 3 things...

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.

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. It's a known fact that when the weather begins to break, and temperatures begin to rise, that those of us who feel trapped inside our homes because of the winter warden, begin to break out of our cell and begin to look for new opportunities. 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...

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?
