Working the W-B, Wilkes-Barre that is!!!

Yes, it's true! This home is off the market. This was one of the most looked at houses on my website, www.wilkesbarrehomesales.com. It was literally viewed over 1000 times since I put it on the website. I'm almost sad that I sold it...almost. If you are looking to sell your home in the Wilkes-Bar...

I still remember the day I got the call. I was at my desk in my home office when my cell phone rang. I answered it, not recognizing the number and I heard a voice not unlike my own grandmother's voice when she was still alive. "Is this Andrew Trevino?" "Yes", I replied, "What can I do for you?"

I wouldn't normally resort to advertising for a listing on my blog like this, but I'm desperate. I have a client who's looking for a double or triple unit property in the Plains, PA area. My client's hope is to live in one of the units and rent the other(s) out to help pay the costs of the buildi...

I haven't been in Real Estate all that long, a little over 2 years now, but I've seen a lot in that time. I'd have to say that overall my experience has been a positive one. I have helped a few families to find a new home. I've helped a few families sell an old one and I've helped a few investors...

Wilkes-Barre, PA is a little over two hours from New York City and NJ both. Houses in our area are dirt cheap compared to those markets, so more and more people are getting squeezed out into our market from those other markets. Add to that the fact that I speak Spanish and have assisted quite a f...

A while back, while we were in the midst of the gloom and doom forecasts for the Real Estate market, I posted a story about a hot dog vendor that was a great parallel for today's Real Estate market. I admit that my skill at writing a blog was a bit unpolished at that point, so the content wasn't ...

I have had two instances over the last three weeks where I was representing buyers in their attempts to buy properties and the seller has decided, at the last minute, not to sell. I am amazed that someone could get to the week before closing and decide not to perform the contract that they negoti...

Hello all. I just wanted to stop by and invite you all out to the Bloomsburg Fair from the 22nd to the 29th of September. The fair is just a short ride from Wilkes-Barre, PA (about 35 minutes) down Route 11, in Bloomsburg, PA. This is the 153rd annual fair and it just gets better every year!! The...

When I first joined AR about 4 months ago, I had no idea what it was all about. I heard about the opportunity to market myself through this format and was eager to get some free marketing, so I signed on. I didn't dive right in. It was all so new to me and I was worried that it would just take up...

I have to say that I was utterly amazed today by what I was told by a mortgage broker. I have a sale pending and very close to closing. The sale is with an out of state client who brought his own out of state mortgage broker with him. I generally don't like dealing with out of state mortgage brok...
