That's right. I don't want to sell your house. When I take your listing, I'm NOT going to sell your house -- I'm going to market your house. When you are ready to sell your most important investment, you want someone who can do the very best for you. Don't be content to just list your home with just any Realtor. For example, as soon as I take your listing, I'm going to e-mail 20-50 of the

Frequently as a Realtor® I hear stories of woe. Recently there was a Buyer who put an offer in on a FSBO (For Sale By Owner) property. The offer was for about $6000 less than the advertised price (perhaps the buyers realized that since FSBO sellers don't pay commission, they frequently expect the FSBO seller to lower the price of the property accordingly). The Seller completed the prepackaged

I love it when a home owner attempts to sell on their own. No really, I do. Most of the time, the home owner will eventually engage the services of a professional Realtor. (If you want to engage the services of a professional Realtor, please e-mail me.) The fact is that most "For Sale By Owner", or FSBO's don't sell.Why is the failure rate so high? While there are number of factors, it is usually

I hate paying property taxes. Don't know anybody who likes to. I don't think there is a more unfair tax that has been created. Property taxes, being tied to the value of the property, are not based on the owner's ability to pay. Thus, as property values increase, we are fored to pay higher and higher property taxes. If you are on fixed income, that can be devistating.There is one way that

Mortgage interest rates have moved highter since a low near the end of June. The nation average for a 30-year fixed note is currently 5.32% and experts predict that the upward trend will continue. As right inch higher, more buyers will be forced out of the housing market. This may be an excellent time to buy or sell a home and lock in these rates now.The rates for ARM loan have been moving up

I just heard an ad on the radio for a 1% mortgage loan. I was driving and could not write down the website, but did managed to catch the verbal "small print" from the ad. Yes, the 1% rate is an introductory rate for 30-days and the payments are fixed for the first year. What does this mean?I'm presuming that after the first 30-days, the loan adjusts up based on the prevailing interest rates.

Just learned that Coldwell Banker Primus was ranked #17 in sales last quarter among CB affiliates - and number #3 in the state of Illinois. Forgive the abject back patting.
