Is Your Listing a Joke?
Despite much evidence to the contrary, REALTORS® really do have a sense of humor. We deal with a wildly divergent group of people every day (and that’s just the other agents we work with). So, when we have an opportunity to get a chuckle or a giggle in during the course of our workday, we…
Are They Really Trying to Sell This House?
“Are they really trying to sell this house?” That was the feedback from one of our buyers recently after touring a West Bank listing that was not quite up to snuff. Not something that a seller ever wants to hear. We assume that everyone knows how to get their home ready to sell, but the…

Did Your Listing Agent Take Those Photos?
That’s the question I’d like to ask some home sellers, but I can’t. The National Association of REALTORS® has a Code of Ethics that prohibits me from pointing out the flaws in another agent’s marketing materials to a seller, which is probably a good thing since I’m a little cranky today. After all, beauty is…
