  As a recent buyer (and seller) and the assistant to a Realtor that makes staging a BIG priority - here are my thoughts on the topic... When people hear "Staging to Sell' they often think of those HGTV shows and the dollar signs associated with all those upgrades.  Staging your home doesn't have...

Well, I finally got around to posing next to the stack of books I read last year.   I read 30 books in 2013 (as opposed to the 33 I read last year).  However... I closed 32 transactions in 2013 (as opposed to the 24 sales I closed in 2012).  So....  I'm not going to complain about having made it ...

The start of a new year is always a good time to reevaluate things... and I've come to realize two very self-evident truths. I rarely make true "New Year's Resolutions" but who doesn't try to at least take advantage of a fresh start by attempting to (in general...) be a better person.  So in a ha...

Seems like lately I’ve been getting more and more calls that result in a meeting with buyers that already have a Realtor… a Realtor that they didn’t want to bother by having them rush out to just show them a house.                                                                                   ...

So remember that Florida condo that we bought (now almost a year ago)...?  The one that I said I would blog about, but then hardly mention on here...?  Well, it has finally reached a respectable level of "doneness".  (It's not DONE, and will probably never be DONE... but it has surpassed "present...

Well, in all fairness no one has really asked... but TEN Realtors came through my Office-Supply-Give-Away-Agent-Open House the other day.  I was pleased enough with ten warm bodies touring my listing.  My seller was a little disappointed when I called her to report on my results - but only becaus...

It's that time again.... time to host another Agent Open House!  I'm not a huge fan of hosting agent open houses - primarily because they always seem to revolve around food - and a skilled chef I am not.  My usual agent open house fare is what I have termed my "Famous Strawberry Pizza".  (It's on...

     As Tara's new assistant - and a past client - I thought I'd put together some of "My Thoughts" on the benefits of using a Realtor.  I've bought two houses and sold one – which hardly makes me an expert, but I’m going share my thoughts anyway...      1.  Realtors are working for you!  Realtor...

Forget about socks that go missing in the laundry...   The real mystery is, "Where do all of my directional arrow signs disappear to?!?"  You know the ones... the little rectangular (or arrow shaped) signs that you put on a corner to point people to your listing that sits just slightly off the be...

  Business has been good (read: busy) the past few months.  And while that's a great thing, it does mean that my blogging has kind of fallen by the wayside.  Matt pointed out that it's been a long time since I've written a blog post...  So I thought - tonight while he's studying for his upcoming ...
