There are times when sellers do not want to have the property listed and marketed in the MLS. I am not a fan of it. I believe the more eyes see it on the various platforms the odds are better we get an offer sooner.Then there are times I focus and try to convince my sellers to list it on all the platforms. The only time I like it being not in the MLS when I am trying to cool a property and bring it back as new.What are your thoughts? Inquiring minds want to know.Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, focused and goal-oriented Realtor in the Beverly Hills area who will help you achieve your Real Estate goals, please reach out to me directly!

Yesterday when walking a 40 acre parcel with a buyer, we exchanged numerous laughs as we looked for the ribbon markers at the property corners.  Unfortunately, we only found one, but it was sooo tiny we would have missed it. We both laughed together wondering if the listing agent could have made the ribbon any smaller. Being able to laugh with a client and have that laughter acceptable is very gratifying.The word sweet has synonyms which include pleasant, pleasing, agreeable, delightful satisfying, gratifying, acceptable, entertaining, and inviting.Thinking of past experiences many of these words have always been present.My goal as a professional real estate agent is to be sweet. This weekend I am driving 105 miles to the next county to the south to meet with a seller who is elderly. Th...

Ridgeline Roofers Columbia, a roofing company based in Columbia, MD, provides valuable insights into the differences between traditional felt and modern synthetic underlayment options for homes in Maryland. The company seeks to offer clear guidance on this frequently neglected aspect of roofing installations.Roofing underlayment serves as a protective barrier between the roof deck and the shingles or other outer roofing materials. Typically made of materials like felt, synthetic polymers, or rubberized asphalt, underlayment acts as a secondary defense against water infiltration, helping to prevent leaks and prolong the lifespan of the roof. It also provides an additional layer of insulation and can enhance the overall energy efficiency of the building.The importance of underlayment in r...

Seeking a home loan from a friend or family member can be challenging, even when you're close. The financial stakes are significant, and chances are you interact frequently, adding pressure to the dynamic. Rejection could strain your relationship. However, presenting a case that demonstrates mutual benefit can lead to a positive outcome.Approaching the Loan RequestThomas Fox, Cambridge Credit Counseling's community outreach director, advises treating a private home loan request with the same seriousness as a bank mortgage. Before broaching the topic with a relative or friend, prepare a thorough plan or proposal."Borrowers must realistically assess their repayment capacity and avoid overborrowing. Treat it as any other loan and be practical," says Fox.It's essential to establish a formal...

You’re finally getting close to acquiring the home and have decided you won’t talk to a lender.This is because you’ve got great credit or even great income. Still, the problem with not talking to a lender is that you’ll risk losing the entire transaction and waste everybody’s time in the process if an issue arises concerning your financing.So, why is talking to a lender that important?
