According to my trusty and dusty Edmond Yellow Pages, circa 2008 (I was doing some spring cleaning and found the old relic in a cabinet) there were over 60 real estate companies listed in the Edmond area that year.  In the past three years, more than a few have faded into the sunset (we won't name names).  But that still leaves plenty of options for a Realtor looking to hang their license and open up shop in Edmond.You may not know this but unlike many other professions, a Realtor is an independent contractor and chooses which brokerage to represent.  It's a bit like The Bachelor.  Which company will get the rose?  With so many choices in my own backyard, why did I choose CENTURY 21 Goodyear Green when I started in the business?When I started in the business in 2006, I knew I wanted to ... 03/13/2011

On the snowy morning of February 8 in Edmond, a German shepherd mix was found malnourished and suffering from the brutal winter cold. Luckily, the dog, who later was named Hok'ee (which means "abandoned" in Navajo), was found outside the Edmond Animal Shelter.When news hit local newspapers and media, many citizens reached out and offered to adopt the friendly deserted dog. Edmond Police, along with animal shelter workers, were amazed by the outpouring of caring people who wanted to help the pet. It was decided that the best way to determine future ownership would be by having an auction.Certain criteria was posted before the bidding could take place. Those interested had to have a house - those with apartments would not be considered; they must own their own residence or show documents ... 02/21/2011

If you know the ShowMeOKC Team at all, you know that we place a heavy emphasis on marketing our homes in the online world, simply because it's where 90% of home buyers begin their search.One of the big pieces of that online marketing is photography. Home buyers will decide whether they want to see your house in person, or whether it's just not worth the time, simply based on the quality of the pictures, which is why we always hire great photographers to do their thing.Home Staging is another of the components that we know helps get our homes sold, and now there's even a way to do virtual staging in those unique situations when real-life staging may not be an option. Since Obeo is the company we hire for our photography most of the time, it's no surprise to us to see that they've added t... 02/03/2011

If you're selling your home, you have more than likely heard the term "home stager" mentioned a time or two. According to StagedHomes.com, the average unstaged listing sits on the market for 145 days while a professionally staged listing a mear 29 days. If your Realtor® has suggested bringing in a Home Stager, he or she has done so because they believe your home is definitely "sell-able" but not currently appealing to the widest range of buyers possible- in other words, it isn't living up to its full potential. Lest you think this is a ploy by said Realtor® to get more money out of you, here are a few facts about home staging:  * Realtors® do not usually receieve commissions or other kickbacks from the home stagers they refer. While a Real Estate company may have a stager on staff, they... 01/29/2011
