I happened upon the Charity Consignment Store accidentally yesterday, and I'm so glad I did.  The pic above is of the baubles, knick-knacks, set-ups I picked up.  People who know me know I have a weakness for anything that is home decor related (and fleur-de-lis, especially), basically anything that attracts dust....  They have great prices, too.  Check them out online at http://www.charityconsignmentstore.com/ or visit them at 404 Crestwood Plaza (63126) - http://www.crestwoodcourt.com/. The Charity Consignment Store's mission is to assist charities and organizations with their fundraising efforts, utilizing consignment.  They specialize in selling gently used, upscale furniture, antiques and home decor.  For more information, stop in and say HI to Terry Trojahn or call them at 314-48... 08/04/2011

When I was a young real estate agent in St. Louis in the 1970's, my manager John coached us on how to handle buyers.  Buyers are liars, he warned.  What he really believed and what was contrived to form a rhyme, I will never know.  Back in those salad days of seller markets, John knew the value of a buyer and the importance of holding onto that buyer.  And and out-of-town buyer?  Well, that was gold worth guarding.  "When you get an out-of-town buyer," John would shout, "you sleep with them until they buy!"  Now, what I think he meant was that we should keep very close tabs on them, although I happened to have known some agents who I think took him literally. So, if they're lying, what are they lying about?  And why?  Are we to be like the old shoe salesmen who brought out three pair o... 07/24/2011

Hoping Everyone has a great Monday.  Ok, I gave the buyer homework again last night after showing him 9 properties.  He has to narrow his list down to 4 today in which we will go back and take a last look.  He's leaving town tomorrow, and he is definitely writing an offer before he leaves town, so I have to get him narrowed down.  No one can say I'm not patient.... **All personal pictures and images/logos are the property of and copyrighted by Tim Tanz, and may not be reproduced or used without his permission.** I have been representing home buyers and home sellers in the St Louis Metropolitan Area since 1997.

Hoping Everyone has a great Sunday.  I'm showing the same buyer this afternoon.  I've learned this buyer is having a difficult time making up his mind - he seems to like every home I show him.  So, I gave him homework last evening.  He can only pic out his two favorite homes from each day of the last three days of showings.  We will look at the ones he's picked out one more time.  Then he will have to further narrow it down to his top three, and so forth until he decides on one to write on.  That's the only way he's going to be able to make a decision. **All personal pictures and images/logos are the property of and copyrighted by Tim Tanz, and may not be reproduced or used without his permission.** I have been representing home buyers and home sellers in the St Louis Metropolitan Area... 07/17/2011
