Thank you to all of you who read and responded to my post this morning.  It seems to have brought up a very touchy subject concerning listing agents and home inspections. First of all, let me state that I believe a listing agent should be at a home inspection at the seller's request.  Some proper...

It has been my experience that whenever there is a home inspection, the listing agent stays away.  I've always believed that the home inspection is reserved for the inspector and the buyers as well as the buyer's agent.   There may be times when the listing agent is present but that is usually pr...

Anyone who reads my posts on a regular basis (thank you) knows I've been going through an unusual transaction.  The buyers asked for a lot of the seller's furniture in their offer and they got most of it accepted.  Now I have a hyper listing agent on the other end.  So far she's asked me how they...

Did you ever have an agent call you twenty minutes after your scheduled showing to ask you for a showing report?  Recently I've been inundated with agents calling me for information while I'm still in the property's drive way. I know sellers are anxious to get feedback but it sends a message of p...

We had a fairly good turn out for our Affordable Homes Tour yesterday.  The Affordable Homes Tour was a collection of homes priced under $150,000 that were all open at the same time.  Over 25 Realtors from various companies around the Green Bay area participated in the tour.

The buyers not only got the sectional sofa, flat screen TV, three bar stool, three slate tables, a ...

This has never happened to me before.  I was showing a property to a young couple for the second time with idea that I would be writing an offer for them when the showing was completed.  We were down in the lower level when I noticed that one of the buyers would periodically write something in a ...

Maybe it's just me but the showings on my new construction listings have come to a standstill.  Over the past two weeks, I have only had five showings on nine properties.  I have even offered higher co-brokes just to get agents to show them.  I find some agents shy away from new construction due ...

Just a reminder that this Saturday, October 18th in the Affordable Homes Tour here in the Green Bay area.  This is an awesome opportunity for anyone who is looking for an affordable home to spend the day touring homes around our area that are just waiting for new owners. Please stop by 447 Bosar ...

The open houses traffic was extremely slow for me this weekend.  While I was sitting in one vacant house I had just listed, I took the time to really evaluate the property.  All of a sudden I found myself making a to-do list.  I was sitting there thinking - if we paint this room and change this c...
