mls: Ask An Ambassador: Boom! - 09/05/23 12:09 PM
Back in my Navy days my last job was as the ship's Ordnance Officer.  Guns, missiles, associated radars and the men that kept them running were my responsibility.  If you're a young man in his early 20s, could there be a better job on a ship than to stand out on the bridge wing as a practice missile went WOOOSH off the rail to chase down its target?
Now many moons later, what passes for excitement in my life is of a far different (and less combustible) variety.  Sometimes it's good, other times it's more of a "something fell down and went … (19 comments)

mls: But I Thought The Home Was For Sale??!! - 04/29/16 09:06 AM

You're looking for homes to see and you're checking the list that we sent you, poking around on other websites too, hoping to find that perfect match!  You send us a list of places you want to see and shortly we come back with news you won't like.  Quite a few of the homes you sent us ARE NOT for sale.
Sure, they were at one point, but unless you want to be a back up offer (aka the club the seller uses to keep the first buyer in line), there's not much to be gained by seeing the home.
How can this … (9 comments)

mls: But It Said In MLS That..... - 02/03/16 07:02 AM
But It Said In MLS That.....
It happens occasionally in real estate.  Someone thinks ONE thing but the contract says ANOTHER.  And you know which one wins the dispute between an accepted purchase contract and MLS info?
Times up!  May we have your answers please??
Did you pick the legally binding contract signed by all parties or the informational source that carries the disclaimer "Information has not been verified, is not guaranteed and subject to change"?
"But the MLS stated that the refrigerator would stay with the home!"
Yes, but....(and you're not going to like this answer)....your agent didn't put it in the contract!!  In the … (43 comments)

mls: Home Not Selling? Check Your MLS Numbers! - 01/29/16 04:38 AM
Home Not Selling? Check Your MLS Numbers!Some homes take longer to sell than others.  But sometimes what you expect to happen not only isn't happening, it's not even CLOSE to happening.  Showings are rare, it's almost like the buyers can't find your home!  You KNOW it's out there, yet...crickets.
Those who live by data die by data.  Garbage in, garbage out, right?  And that's true for real estate too.  A typo here, an oversight there and suddenly your home becomes a phantom of the real estate market.
This is especially true when the inaccurate data involves a critical search criteria.  In MOST cases … (13 comments)

mls: Did You Know There are TWO MLS for Warren County Ohio? - 07/17/10 03:41 AM
Dear Home Seller,
You've chosen to live in a fantastic area!  Some GREAT school systems, tons of entertainment activities, a restaurant for every taste, easy access to both Cincinnati and Dayton.  So many pluses, without the hassle of the cities!
It's that easy access to both cities that should help you decide who your listing agent should be.
Did you know that there is an MLS (Multiple Listing System) for Cincinnati, and a separate one for Dayton?
Our area is served by agents who primarily work Dayton, others who only work from Cincinnati, and others such as The Liz Spear … (0 comments)

mls: Home Sellers, Do Yourself a HUGE Favor! - 07/16/10 04:24 AM
Dear Home Seller, Do you know how you look to the public?  We're not talking the physical home part, but your online appearance?  With most buyers working the Internet hard to find their next home, your online persona is critical! Your agent can't control how you look everywhere online.  With syndication (basically the spreading of your information to other real estate sites), you may be going out to dozens of sites, and each one is formatted differently.  Some get all your photos, some get one.  Some get the full description, others just some basics.  We wish we could edit those, make … (13 comments)
