A Better Realty.Net BlogReal estate blogging from the inside!

I have spent the day out with a Buyer… WOW, I have never had such a time finding the perfect home for a Buyer.  We have seen a lot of  UGLY, DIRTY, STINKY homes… we went in one today, the carpet on the stairs in the middle was black, now that wasn’t the orginal color of the carpet. This home was so cluttered, and dirty.  What are people thinking??? Oh, then they want a premium price for the home. Come on Agents, get with it…. if they will not clean it up, and yes I have had listings like that, then price them as the home they are not mint condition.  Okay my ranting is done…. for now.

I am still amazed at all the information available on the internet.. WOW.  With the Flip Video it is so easy to shoot quick videos, the only problem I am having is editing the video… I have the part where you save it to documents then to real player, but I am having difficulty at that point. Does anyone have a couple of quick tips to make this easier? I have a PC … anything would be great!

Thanks,

Lisa

Life gives us many learning experiences mine is with this new website and Odesk.  A business coach of mine suggested it to me. He did tell me to be specific, he wasn’t kidding. I thought I had been. So we are starting again… I think this time it will work great.

 imagine showing this house?

I was in a  neighborhood and YES, this home was on the market … this way… I bet the HOA loves this home, I know the neighbors do. I  use this photo to show my short sale homeowners what not to do. Just thought I would pass it along

Well, I have a Buyer looking for a nice home, 4 plus bedrooms, pool and RV gate…. My buyer is shocked at the condition of some homes. We were in 2 today and both very dated homes and over priced…. What are the banks thinking?  Let me know if you happen to have a pocket listing that might work.

My Dad was in World War II, here he is in uniform. 

I was always proud of him for his service. I do remember the stories he would tell, some good some bad.  :-)

When he passed away my Mom was awarded a flag for his service. Now I am the keeper of his flag. On a happier note, I thought all the grandkids and great grandkids would like to see this photo.

Thank you all for your service,

Lisa
