Showings are not offers

Will McDonald — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:58:15 +0000

It is true that more home buyers out looking and home sales are up from a year ago but having a lot of showings is not the same as getting an offer. It is possible to have several showings each week and not get any offers. I have had to explain this to buyers, sellers and some agents in the last couple of weeks.

Do not turn down a less than perfect offer on your home just because you have had a lot of showing. Negotiate with the buyer. You may not get another offer anytime soon. Having buyers see your home is the first step in getting it sold and it is a positive sign when there are many showings on the home.

Keeping Calm in Troubling Situations

Hudson Underwood — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:47:56 +0000

As a property manager, we have to try to be ready for anything that comes our way. Now of course we can only do so much to prepare for different things. In reality we just hope that we do not have to deal with certain things that could possibly come up. If they do, we have to take a deep breath and try to find a solution for the issue. For instance, people will call about billing issues, trouble with the gate, and so forth. This morning, I had a very common problem that had the chance to go either way in terms of it being trouble. This morning a self storage renter called me who was at her storage unit trying to get the door to open. She was a bit flustered because she was in a hurry to get to a wedding.

How To Clean An Exposed, Interior Brick Wall

Will McDonald — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 05:52:45 +0000

Exposed interior brick can add a nice, decorative touch to your Woodstock home, but because brick is a porous material and prone to staining, it can be cumbersome to clean.

Standard household detergents alone are rarely enough to clean brick properly, so if your home features exposed interior brick, plan to use alternative cleaning methods instead.

Here is how to do it.

First, find a pair of sturdy rubber gloves to protect your hands from the harsh brick surface and from your cleaning agents. Then, with a dry dish cloth, gently wipe the entire surface of the brick wall to remove loose dirt and dust.

Next, pour a grease-cutting dish detergent into a small bucket.

Minnesota agent population declines

Will McDonald — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 00:49:21 +0000

January is a great time to write about how well our Minnesota Realtors are doing. This is the time of year when people decide to be come real estate agents. This is the time of year when they call and ask questions.

First off let me point out that a Realtor is a member of the National Association of Realtors and that is it possible to be a real estate agent and not a member of the association. A real estate agent in this context is a someone with a real estate license. It is that license that allows us to work on behalf of others for a fee.

In 2001 there were 14,230 Realtors in Minnesota. Durning the peak of the real estate boom in 2006 there were 25,429 Realtors. In
