If the brochure box is empty….they notice.   If their brochures still shows the original price after two reductions….they notice.   If their agent hasn’t done an Open House in six months (or ever)…..they notice.   If no feedback cometh after showings….they notice.   If there haven’t been any showings in a month…..they notice.   If their Craigslist ad hasn’t been refreshed…..they notice.   If their agent hasn’t updated them on market activity…..they notice.   If the only time they hear from their agent is when he calls to ask for a price reduction…..they notice.   Just because a seller doesn’t complain doesn’t means he happy.  And just because he’s not complaining to his agent doesn’t mean he’s keeping quiet elsewhere.  If his agent doesn’t seem to care about selling his home…..the sell... 09/12/2011

  When it's time to sell your home or condo , it's very easy to get caught in the overpricing trap. After all, who doesn’t want top price for their home? We all know that prices have dropped dramatically in recent years. Given that, it's logical that the asking price you set could be higher than "fair market value."  Unfortunately, you probably won't realize it's too high until much later.   Here are just a few of the disappointments you'll be facing with an overpriced house:   Showings of your home will probably be slow.  The public recognizes overpricing.  People buy by comparison.  They compare square feet, bedrooms, baths, garages, year home was built, location, etc.   Some prospects who are attracted may be the wrong ones. They will be attracted because they're looking for a home ... 09/10/2011

Last week I wrote about the importance of knowing Ameren's boundary line if you own or are thinking of buying lakefront property here at the Lake of the Ozarks. Many of you have been asking if there is a "use" easement for the property owner between the take line and the water's edge? There are Ameren (Union Electric) easements for many lakefront properties, in fact, in some areas Ameren only holds easements rights. Typically there are easement rights that are conveyed to property owners in areas where Ameren holds fee title. Those rights are subject to the Federal FERC license, shoreline management policies and guidelines and the ordinances and policies of appropriate state and federal agencies. For instance, the easement may state that landowners have the right to construct improvemen... 04/14/2011

Owning a lakefront property at the Lake of the Ozarks has many perks: great views, lake access, swimming, fishing and boating right at your back door; but if you are not careful about knowing your property's boundary lines, you could end up the lake without a paddle! Imagine, after years of living in your lakefront home, discovering that you don't own all of "your" property. As a matter of fact, the dock you put in and the patio you built by the water's edge are encroachments on someone else's property, and that someone else just happens to be Ameren UE. If you are a lakefront property owner at the Lake of the Ozarks you NEED to know Ameren's property boundary lines before making any improvements to your land. Homeowners whose property falls within the area in which Ameren project bound... 04/11/2011
