I had a very interesting phone conversation earlier this evening.  I was speaking with a prospective client who saw a post I had written about choosing the right real estate agent and the prospective client asked me, “How do figure out who the “right” real estate agent is?” I told her about my 4 C’s approach to evaluating agents.  I always advise people when talking to a prospective agent to look for these 4 things: Competency:  Do they have the right level of experience, education and can they demonstrate that to you? Compassion:  Do they understand your goals/objectives and challenges or difficulties you may be facing?  And are they committed to helping you achieve or overcome them? Consistency:  In your conversations with them, does everything “fit” together well or are the things th... 09/27/2009

One of the downsides of being on a diet is that my regular blog posts about my favorite local restaurants get sidelined.  Well, this week I cheated a bit and had dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Taverna. Taverna was created by local restaurateur Alberto Lombardi and has some of the most wonderful food in town.  It is always fresh, robust and excellently prepared and presented.  The food is not typical pizza/pasta/chicken fare.  It is a more traditional upscale Italian featuring seafood specialties, risottos (my favorite is the parmesan cheese and truffle oil risotto), excellent ,meat entrees including beef tenderloin and (as an occasional special) grilled lamb chops, and authentic thin pizzas. On my most recent visit, my dining companion and I shares 2 special appetizers, the l... 09/20/2009

It's a bit annoying, really, when I read in D Magazine who they've named as the Best ....(fill in the blank)...in Dallas.  Best Realtors, Best Attorneys, Best Physicians.  And then when I go to the "Elected's" offices, I see a big copy of that D ad and appointment framed for all to see. And the reason it does is because those appointments appear to be bought.  Along with the "appointment" comes a big full-color picture ad of the winner.  And I know that ad didn't come free, and I'm fairly certain that the deal for appointment and ad purchase were contemporaneous. So who really knows whether they're any good or not? So during the past four years, we have culled through any number of Dallas physicians. and found a handful that we think deserve recognition.  So here for you is the BILL CHE... 09/20/2009

First Time home buyer's need to save money by using buyer's agents. Prior to the internet taking over the real estate business buyer's were more aware of their need for their own agent representation. Every statistical measurement of real estate aquisitions indicates that purchasers who use professional buyer's agents save 2-7% in the price they pay for their home. Listing agents work exclusively for seller's. Buyer's real estate agents work exclusively for purchasers. With the multiple listing service being available for all home buyers a common practice is for the home buyer to pull up properties for sale and then drive by houses they have initial interest in. A common mistake they make is to call the listing agent and look at the house through the listing agent. The listing agents jo... 09/19/2009

I do think a tax credit for any home buyer is a good idea.  Why not allow the person who is paying their bills to move up, move out, or decide to build on and do this with some assistance, just like the first time home buyers.  If this is a good program for first time home buyers, why isn't it a good idea for all home buyers?  This would provide a stimulation of the economy in so many ways.  The builders, the realtors, the homeowners, the communities, the lumber yards, the box stores to sell more goods and services to put into these new homes, everyonebenefits from a more stabilized economy.  Happy homeowners stabilize our economy.  With prices at a 40 year low now is the time to grab hold of property that will rise back up through the next new economy.  If you can do that because you p... 09/18/2009
