If the negotiation of the short sales takes 3, 4, 5, 6 mont […]Jay Beckingham (HomeLynx Home Loans)

- Overpricing your home? I can't help you... July 30, 2010About a year ago, I was talking to a fellow agent about how we run our businesses. Probably, that my first mistake right then and there.

Where the heck is that and how did RainCamp end up there?" We ended up in Prescott ( […]ActiveRain Corp.
- What's a Homeowner To Do? July 29, 2010I recently went on a listing presentation where I knew the seller had negative equity. When I arrived, I got the customary tour and received a detailed list of property upgrades. I asked the seller the typical questions: how many loans to you have; what are the balances; monthly payments etc. I could tell he was hoping that I would tell him that I am a mir […]Stacie Kvanvig, Real Estate Dame (Keller Williams Legacy One Realty)

- Are Cutthroat Home Buyers Causing Home Values To Decline More? July 29, 2010Question: Are Cutthroat Home Buyers Causing Home Values To Decline More? While you're working with a buyer, when they write an offer, do you just let them write it where they want?

- No, No, No! Buyers Are NOT Liars! July 29, 2010I'm going to steal a page from the Broker Bryant rulebook and dredge up an old post from the distant past. In fact, what follows is one of my very first posts here on Active Rain, but I was inspired to re-post today it by Susan Haughton's excellent post on the same topic... Besides I only got 8 comments on it the first go-around (hmpf!), so let […]Jennifer Allan, Author of Sell with Soul (Sell with Soul)
