Not worth a Hill of Beans This quote came from farmers, who realized, back in 1863, that beans were easy to grow and at that time, had little value or worth. The saying also applied to people who consistently failed to perform. Good intentions in business and everyday life, usually means a particular thing will happen. Those who lack follow through can damage or end meaningful, reciprocal relationships. Dependability matters.   As in this case...After looking at several homes, a buyer client found a property to purchase. Once the offer was submitted, then accepted, so began the timelines that would make him a happy home owner in 30 days. The home inspection was set immediately. An appointment with an appraiser was also scheduled. Several weeks go by and just hours before the time for th...

"If brains was lard, he couldn't grease too big a pan." I love this quote of Jed Clampett's, a good ole' country boy with a helpful heaping of common sense. Jethro was a different story. Brawn, height and good looks don't always open doors when lacking smarts!Years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting with a potential buyer from a neighboring state. He came to the office, sat down and we started discussing wants and needs. As this burly, barrel chested man listed features and amenities, it became clear he was used to getting desired results. It also sounded like he knew what he wanted and would aggressively go after it. A little voice in my head told me to hold on to my seat, that we might be in for a wild ride! My gut instinct would later prove true.His Wants & Needs List went as follows...

Don't go borrowing trouble. The interest rate is too high. Have you ever known a home seller to look online for a current market price and then also forgo real estate representation to sell a property? Doing this can cost a homeowner, big, in so many ways but many decide to go it alone with a thought stuck in their head... save loads of money.  Some people fail to realize the value of hiring an experienced, agent to help guide them, from start to finish, through the sales process. Agents that have been through a few cycles, know that national sites lack correct information down to the local level, especially true market value. Years ago, I told a story about a FSBO who went to Z to find what was thought to be reasonable sales price. In reality, it was approximately $100K lower than curr...

"We frown on contingent sale offers." 🙁 I find this comment a little disconcerting and it could come back to bite the one who leads clients toward this way of thinking. Some buyers, looking in the marketplace, must first sell to purchase a property. If a home seller refuses to accept -any- contingent sale offer, the listing agent should write that in the private remarks of the listing on the Multiple Listing Service. Otherwise it's a huge time waster for everyone. Contingent sale offers get accepted, especially when the seller needs extra time to vacate and also if the buyer needs to sell their home. Of course, both parties must agree on all other contract terms and conditions.  When shifts occur, it is pertinent to catch up with current market conditions to achieve the intended result....

My real estate office will be closed February 29th, 30th and 31st! Very seldom do we take time off and just so everyone knows, we are planning a mini-staycation at the Silo on those three days. Anyone wishing to join us is very welcome to fully relax, refresh and rejuvenate. After an extremely hectic schedule of non-stop business activity for the past several weeks because of the Annual St. George Area Parade of Homes, this will be a much needed break from work for both of us. You'll find us hanging at the Silo, enjoying a couple's massage by day and dancing to music with frosty beverages at night.  So, who's up for a mini Silobration with us?!

Full disclosure The sun on the rise, appears to be peeking out between the heavy cloud cover in an effort to be seen in all it's glory. In real estate, it's important to give full disclosure, rather than just a peek-a-boo view. Blue hued skies,Amid clouded rise.Sun sifting through,Playing peek-a-boo!~Wanda Kubat-Nerdin Happy Sunday all!

🐾 Led Like a Dog on a Short Leash 🐾 When potential home buyers go directly to a builder model home alone, the onsite salesperson can refuse to honor the established relationship even if there is a signed buyer broker agreement in place. The other party may also benefit in these ways: There's zero room for negotiation when buyers self-represent. Most builders have an advantage w/their New Construction REPC. Terms and conditions are already built-in with little/no wiggle room. A developer/builder represents their own interests, not the consumer. The seller guides the transaction from the beginning to completion. Buyers will follow along, much like a dog tethered to a short leash. No one shows up to take photos and report construction progress. As problems arise, it does not necessarily me...

🎵 Looking for love in all the wrong places...🎶A woman, dressed in skin-tight yoga pants and revealing crop top that highlighted recently augmented breasts, approached a worker in a subdivision. Handing out a business card, she breathily said her name, licking perfectly plumped lips, offering exclusive services to him and his friends.His eyes held steadfastly to her heaving chest region with every labored breath, paying very little attention to what was being said.  Flabbergasted that she would proposition him like this in broad daylight with other people around, he finally asked..."Okay, how much?"Oh horrors! She was extremely offended he would assume such a thing! What did she expect though? When dressing in such a provocative manner, it's easy for most people to get distracted from th...

Real Estate Perspective: Fence sitting or Ranch dressing? At this time, two years ago, there were only 272 residential listings on the MLS in all of Washington County, Utah. Right now there are 1,254 listings on the Multiple Listing Service. Times have changed! It's always a good time to buy real estate, even when interests rates have trended up. The southern Utah residential real estate market is starting to rev up with a large inventory to choose from. This quote comes to mind when people wait for the perfect conditions before moving forward with a purchase. “Don’t wait to buy real estate. Buy real estate and wait.” - Will Rogers, actorAlso, If you fence sit too long, home ownership can pass you by, becoming an elusive dream with nothing gained except a sore behind...from kicking your...
