“If I can just get my home in MLS, I’ll pay an agent to sell it.” Sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? I’ve written before about how MLS is an important part of my ‘magic marketing bag of tricks’ but don’t be confused…it’s only magic if I make it that way. A little history of MLS (multiple listing services) may be in order here.

"Ask the Experts" condo forum is tonight!The Chapel Hill office of Coldwell Banker HPW is having an informative forum tonight for HOA boards and management companies (anyone with an interest is invited) to explain how the current lending guidelines are affecting condo sales. Many agents in the office have horror stories about condo sales that had delayed closings or didn't close at all causing all sorts of problems for the buyers and sellers (and of course the agents!) We will have a mortgage lender on hand to discuss the approval process and required documents. Tom Holt , a local attorney, will be available to answer questions and discuss the legal steps necessary for associations to review and make changes to HOA documents. We should have a good group. Please come! 10/13/2009
