Be Thankful Challenge For those of you who were members of ActiveRain last year at Thanksgiving, you will remember this.   This is a challenge to change our way of thinking and to prepare our hearts for the upcoming Christmas (yes, I said the “C” word) Holiday.   What better way is there to prepare than to have a thankful heart?!   The challenge is to write a post a day (no minimum word requirement) sharing something that you are thankful for. It can be something GREAT or something small. It’s up to you.   Then, if you feel like it, post your blog post in the Be Thankful Group and comment on a few other’s post while you’re there. You can also put it in Holidays on the ActiveRain Channel for an extra 25 extra points (if your post has 50 words or more). There are no points earned for this...

(RE/MAX NORTH LAKE - Incline Village, NV)
  With Incline Village and Crystal Bay condominium sales increasing dramatically during the past three years and returning to more normal levels by historical standards this is a good time to take a closer look at just what it means to buy a property that is part of a Homeowners Association.  There are dozens of condo complexes in our local community offering a wide variety of architecture, floor plans, settings and amenities from which buyers can choose. And as the inventory declined from a peak of 202 units for sale in July 2009 down to the present level of 98 condos on the Incline Village MLS, prices have stabilized while the variety of choices has been markedly reduced.   When buyers are looking at condos or freestanding condos (also known as PUDs which is short for Planned Unit Dev...

Are you using your License Plate frame for marketing? We all know that marketing is key to our success and drives our business and we use 'pull and push' marketing tactics to attract our ideal client's attention. One really inexpensive and effective marketing tactic is to put some personal branding on your license plate frames. I have one on the back of my car but you could also put one on the front of your car. I seem to be in so many car line ups that I am always looking at the car in front of me and reading their license plate. Of course  you can personalize your license plate as well if you really want to get noticed!  Every few years I go to our local PNE (a large local fair) in Vancouver BC to get mine It costs about $20 but you can also go on line and order from License Plate Fra...

 Google+ To Increase Your Traffic?  I just finished a Class today with Eric Proulx, and Bob Stewart on ActiveRain, & I learned so much!  Google+ Trendy?  Or a Must on YOUR “to do” List? OH NO!…  another thing to do.  I don’t know about you, but some days I’m exhausted of all this blogging, SEO, Twitter, FB, AR contests etc! The thought of one more thing on the list can be overwhelming. Question is, should Google+ be dismissed as trendy? Or is it something that is extremely important. You be the judge! The class today taught me a few new things that I did not know about Google+ and why I am thinking it is a super important part of my internet presence. It is more than a social network and this is why. Google+ is owned by Google. People are searching Google all day long for just about eve...

Here are the most current real estate market statistics for New Milford, CT in Litchfield County. The only way to know what is going on locally is to look at very local statistics. It is said that real estate is hyper local, prices are hyper local, the number of sales are hyper local, job markets that affect our markets are hyper local. You must study the local facts in order to understand what is going on.Our sales are still low. I don't think Hurricane Sandy greatly affected October 2012, a sale or two may have been delayed. I heard of one sale that was delayed because the buyer didn't want to assume any responsibility for damage that might occur because of the storm. But then a seller might have felt the same way and pushed the sale. Who knows. October 2012 single family homes sold: ...

  The Texas Realtor magazine asked, "How do you stay productive during your slow season".....  I’d thought I’d share with some of my favorite peeps on how I keep myself productive during the Slow season. It’s all about planning and many years, I have been taking the 4th Quarter as a “planning” season for the following year, it’s also a time I play catch up with all the “greatest” intentions I had for the year. Remember the 4th Quarter Challenge? How are you doing on that?   My motto is “What you do today affects you 90 days from today”. With that thought, I make sure I do something (not necessarily daily) but weekly or monthly on what I need to do to keep “future” business churning.   With my “planning” personality, I typically write a Monthly plan on what needs to be done. For example,...

  Peter or Polly Pumpkin Eater - October 31st Washougal WA While on a house tour in Washougal, WA on Halloween, we saw these four trick or treaters arriving early for the goodies.Three of them were content with the usual favorite, but one in particular seemed much more interested in the decorations.It’s doubtful all four jack-o-lanterns were shining brightly last night. Very little seemed to deter this Peter, or Polly Pumpkin Eater.Thanks for watching - you can always find me at exploringclarkcounty.com

There is no doubt in my mind that the right garage floors help sell homes. True to stereotype, many home buyers go straight to the garage to see if the garage says “wow” – this is especially true of a certain gender of buyer – you know who you are! As an Orange County Real Estate Broker, I see it all – cracked oil stained garage floors, painted garage floors, and EPOXY GARAGE FLOORS that are made to look like granite. Which one do you think says wow? If you guessed the garage with the epoxy floor coating you guessed right!! Of course great looking garage storage cabinets are an added plus to complete the look.       Inspired by what I have seen in the market and in my neighborhood, I am taking on this home improvement project in my own home. My experiment will start with a single car ga...

  Years ago, as I sat in front of a typewriter pounding out prospecting letters, another agent stopped by my desk. He asked if I was writing prospecting letters and I said yes. He laughed at me for the effort – and said he had tried it once and it didn't work. I said OK and kept on doing what I was doing. It turned out that he had mailed one letter – to one person. He was hopeless, but as it turns out, I was also doing it wrong. At that time I was sending perhaps 2 or 3 letters – and waiting a month or two in between. And that's just not the way to create an impression. I was also sending only one letter to expireds and FSBO's. Keep in mind that at that time I hadn't studied marketing – so didn't know just how much I didn't know. Studies show that the greatest return comes after at leas...

"This is our second year in the house, and now that it's fall my closet is getting cold again." Do you have rooms in your house that are hot or cold?  There is a reason for that!  And the reason is because that room has an insufficient thermal barrier! In order to be effective insulation has to be complete.  It must completely fill a given space, with the called-for thermal barrier (R-value).It must completely touch what it is supposed to insulate.It must completely control temperature migration on all needed sides. Looking at the closet in question, from its underside in the garage, it is evident that the rim joist on both exterior sides and the entirety of the floor underneath were never insulated! Who knows why. Cold air has its sway, entering from both sides.  When it's really cold ...

I'm so thankful that we have electriicity in my building and that we were spared from Hurricane Sandy.  I have to say it's been a scary and weird week here.  There are still well over 200,000 in my county without power or phones, and my parents are among those.  There are many more without cable (no TV, no internet).  There is no ETA and it is getting colder each day.  Schools have been canceled for the whole week, so many are going stir crazy...not only with the kids, but with nothing to do.    Some that have power have had other families stay, so they temporarily have 2-3 families in their home.  Yesterday, I was at Starbucks for a few hours while my car was being fixed.  This Starbucks was near where a lot of people lost power, so needless to say, it was super crowded...and everyone ...

We have moved on from Halloween, but I thought I would post a few things that show some of why I love living here in Litchfield County.We had many trees down affecting power in the northwestern corner of the state, however town officials and volunteers kept it business as UNusual for the youngest of the residents.New Milford had their Trunk or Treat, and wow was it packed! Thank you to all the volunteers and the New Milford Park & Rec department who made the event possible, your generosity is awesome and those of us who attended appreciate your hard work especially in the face of what we were all going through. The town of Kent was equally as determined. Three women have been planning the event for a long time, Denise Howard, Wanessa Anderson and Ellen Corsell worked hard to teach every...

Pulling strings for the seller. A call just might help them sell. At  a past inspection there is a new home. Built in 2011 and ready to be sold for the owner. The owner has to sell and move closer to the Veterans Administration hospital. The health of the buyer had taken a turn for the worse after the purchase of the new home just over a year ago. Desert Sun Home Inspections did the inspection and sent the report. There are issues with the way the install of the trunk line was done in the attic of the home. I asked who built the home and who did the Heating and cooling for the home. The seller did know so I asked the seller if I could call the Heating and cooling contractor to see if they would come out and finish the job they had already been paid for. I called Paul the owner of the co...

(Keller Williams Realty Coeur d'Alene)
Janna Rankin Scharf, GRI, CLHMS, SFR - Coeur d'Alene, Idaho Real Estate Professional It's always interesting to see the various reactions I receive from home sellers about staging their homes prior to listing it for sale.  Quite often a seller will tell me that they know they should, but they just don't want to, and aren't going to.  Then there are the motivated and enthusiastic sellers who eagerly do anything they possibly can, and go the extra mile.  In spite of the various attitudes towards staging, one thing is for certain.  Statistics prove that staged homes sell faster, and for more money. Staging is simply dressing your home to appeal to the most people possible.  It's removing anything that would be off-putting or offensive. Or distracting.  It's helping your house put its best...

....MORE ON SANDY AND IT'S AFTER-EFFECTS: Below, more photos of the damage from Sandy---We are very lucky it was not worse! we are so much luckier than the other places here in New York, like Breezy Point in Queens where they lost 110 houses in a waterfront community--a place where firemen and policemen called home for a century or more! Houses with vinyl siding and doors literally melted into the water and left so many homeless. Thank goodness these people had been evacuated before the storm or they mayhave been in those houses!! This was a record storm that can be compared to the Long Island Express of 1938 that wiped out ocean front estates on the South Fork of long Island...The damage in the estate section this time came from the ocean breaching the dunes and piling up on the opposi...

  I took some time off today to go to the Lone Star Motorcycle Rally in Galveston with my husband and some good friends. Today was the first day, and the rally runs through Sunday, Nov. 4 The rally is being held on Galveston’s historic Strand. The street is blocked off for motorcycles only, and the Strand is lined with bikes from one end to the other.  I have never seen so many motorcycles in one place, and this is considered to be the “slow” day!  All of the side streets are lined with vendors selling lots of motorcycle gear, t-shirts, and some really great-smelling food! You can’t walk down the street without getting hungry! There are some big entertainment names scheduled to perform during the rally, including Bret Michaels, who will perform for free on Friday night. The Geico team i...

The lack of hurricane deductibles means insurers may have to pay out in greater amounts, since a typical hurricane deductible of 2 percent of a home’s insured value is often higher than a standard dollar deductible. Maryland has also said hurricane deductibles would not be allowed in the state for Sandy-related claims. The Maryland Insurance Administration issued a bulletin Tuesday, addressed to all admitted property/casualty insurers, the Maryland Joint Insurance Association, and insurance producers. Connecticut & New York to also follow For example, with a five percent deductible on a home insured for $300,000, the homeowner would have to pay for the first $15,000 of damage. No Hurricane Warning “This bulletin serves to advise Maryland’s admitted Property & Casualty insurance carriers...

DIRECT MAIL WORKS, if it's done with persistence.  Marte Cliff is right.  Direct mail does, indeed work.  See:  In Real Estate Marketing – Persistence Pays Off Sadly, most agents who "try it", direct mail advertising, do just that.  They merely "try it".  When their 10 or so pieces of mail gets no response, they take that as a sign that direct mail doesn't work.  Perhaps it's a fulfillment of their expectations.  Direct mail takes a bit of research.   Some things that I've found that work are: 1.   Research the area for the mailing(s).  Select a community that is at least 2-3 years old.  Resales generally begin in communities as they reach the 2nd or 3rd year following the builder's final deliveries.   2.  Select communities by comparing the # of resales that closed in the past 6 months...

We all suffer from information overload at times, I imagine.   Consumers, especially first time home buyers, must feel equally overwhelmed with the plethora of information out there as regards the process of home buying.   Everyone has an opinion and seemingly, everyone wants to be sure you see it!   So, what's a home buyer to do?  So many sites, so many sources, so many agents, so many houses...who to trust?  Who to listen to?  Which site to use? It's no secret this industry suffers from what some like to say is a "low barrier to entry."  I don't think it's a coincidence there is a direct correlation between virtually no barrier to entry and the low approval ratings the real estate industry suffers from.  Trust is a huge issue and rightfully so, as we are talking about a huge purchase ...

Oh, how I do enjoy the lingering after effects of a fabulous vacation.   I observed Parisians walk faster and more frequently than Palos Verdesians (yes, I coined a new word). They linger longer over meals, and American fast food is, thankfully, hard to find. Their public transportation is fabulous; Los Angeles is in the dark ages by comparison.

You contribute a certain dollar amount per month, and the bank matches that, typically up to $7,500. These programs typically take 1-2 years, but you end up with a significant amount to put toward your closing cost. They're a great option if you don't need to buy immed...
