Sellers Respond Better to a Written Offer.

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9plp0akOuYI[/youtube]   Direct link to YouTube video. Sellers respond better to actions than words. Recently I have had lots of calls on my listings from agents representing buyers interested in knowing if we get any offers. I have even had my own buyers tell me to let them know if we get an offer on a home that they are interested in. I want to remind everyone of a rule that applies to many things in life, ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. Real Estate is a … [Read more...]

It’s All About the Inventory

Selling Real Estate is not what I do. What I do is study inventory and market conditions. I then provide this information to buyers and sellers so that they can make sound financial decisions. It's that simple. The single most important quality of a Real Estate agent is their ability to study and retain information regarding the inventory of homes in the market they work in.  Period. An agent that doesn't know the inventory will soon fail. It amazes me that agents try to learn the inventory after they get a … [Read more...]

What are you looking for in a Big Bear Cabin?

I see more and more clients that are hoping to find the best deal, the one they think will be just sitting out their waiting for them to come along. Some buyers actually are looking for a cabin without the help of a local agent.  This must be very frustrating. It reminds me of shopping at a big box retailer.

It takes me twice as long, but I know it is a waste of time to ask one of the clerks for help, since they have little knowledge of any of the products … [Read more...]

Is Your Big Bear Realtor a Local, or a Tourist?

They can't tell you about the history of the homes that you are interested in since they have never seen them before. Chances are, they may not even be able to find them to show them to you. They may not know the difference between a raised perimeter foundation and a slab. They might tell you that all areas of Big Bear are the same. How can they tell you about the recent homes that have sold, when they … [Read more...]
