Thinking outside of the box has to do with being creative, finding new solutions when the old ones won't work or are worn out. Coming up with new ideas. This is good and refreshing. However, there is a big difference between thinking outside of the box, being creative vs common sense practices. Because even with out of the box thinking, there ...

  Inspirational Quote "This is the true joy in life ... being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one ... being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy....I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the ...

People commonly think that all they have to do to get their house ready for the market is to call a real estate agency. That is a wise choice, but there is alot more to do.

We are in the Do It Yourself age. I will admit, I will do as much as I can myself as I hate to ask my already overburdened husband for help sometimes.

I will admit that summer is the busiest time for buying and selling, but I closed two transactions (sold two properties) last year on Christmas week. So having ...

When you list your property with a real estate agent, you are right to expect that the agent works for you, especially when your listing agreement says "Exclusive Seller Agency". As a sellers agent, your agent should represent you at all times. We sure have horror stories the longer we are in business. I consider these situations as ...

Your REALTOR, not necessarily your real estate agent (see blog below) has access to the Muliple Listing Service if they are a member of the REALTOR Association. What does this mean to you as a seller? It means your agent is marketing your property to it's fullest potential and getting your property out there for other REALTORS to view and ...

This isn't just applicable to Harper County Real Estate sellers, this is for everyone. If you want to get your property sold, you HAVE to declutter! Plain and simple. I can't be any clearer. How you live in your house, and how you live in your house when it is on the market are two very very different things. Your home needs to show the ...

I've never been sure what determines a white lie from a straight out lie. Maybe it isn't so much of a lie, more of a half-truth? So if something is half-true, what would the other half be? So, in real estate for example, is it alright to tell a white lie? Is telling people in a property advertisement that a "wooded creek" runs ...
