About Me
Mrs. Rockinblu and I sold our house of 34 years as a FSBO in March of 2008. We moved from Glen Carbon, Il to Austin where our two sons have been living with their families for over 10 years. We finally succumbed to their pressure and all Austin has to offer in the way of being the Live Music Capital of the World. We have downsized from a 3100sf house to a 1150 2/2 apartment in the SoCo area of Austin. We are thrilled to death with our new lives.

OK Russell,

Get the seller to throw in a cleaning service for a year or a yard guy or both. Otherwise lower the price. :( - A few hours ago
Jennifer, Home Seller in Massachusetts

Should we reduce again?

Jennifer,

I saw the post below on another site. The Realtor who posted it seems to be a very knowledgeable veteran of RE.

"Also ask your REALTOR for a saturation report. If there are no sales within 25% either side of yours, dropping the price now probably won't help." - Yesterday, 15:26

Three things. Get a good RE attorney. Find a helpful title company. Read my blog (link below) thoroughly. Good luck.

Melissa Riley, Real Estate Pro in Connecticut

With the challenging market, what traits are most important to you (consumer) in a real estate professional?

Asked Sun Nov 16 2008, 16:47 by Melissa Riley  -  All locations  -  Home Selling  -  1 answer
rockinblu answered:
Melissa,

How about excluding the obvious, which would be honesty, and go from there. Other than that a competitive nature, and determination. Someone who takes an expired or a cancelled listing as a serious failure on his or her part. Someone who doesn't shuffle the blame off onto the seller. Promptness, attention to detail, great communication skills, and actually staying in communication with the client. A clean handkerchief or tissue ready when personally telling the client the buyer backed out. :) - Yesterday, 02:06

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly,

Read your agreement. Go ahead and cancel your agreement, but you will still owe the agent the commission. Might as well keep the agent, and have him/her finish earning it. - Sun Nov 16 2008, 10:54
