Delaware Homes For Sale:FREE SEARCH! Tom's Blog

Imagine If we all went to the media this week and told them we are having a "National Realtor Door Knock Week" !  I would love to see the News then!! :-) Anyone Else up for A Realtor Door Knocking Week!  Imagine the news media telling consumers that it is going to be "National Realtor Door Knock Week!"  I would LOVE IT!  Okay I think I need to go to bed now...my enthusiam is pumped up a bit much for tommorrows door knocking i am going to be doing!!  Sometimes I wish their was 48 hour Days instead of 24 hour days!!  Cheers! I think I just started a simple SOLUTION!

I've been doing a little survey at the office and I seem to come to conclusion that most agents are not using the Newspaper anymore.  I've read about Newspaper companies going out of business.  Are you still advertising in your local paper to make the seller happy? Many are triming on the local paper to spend online where the future in marketing now lays.  I've noticed that in order for papers to avoid this problem they must be more competitive with Real Estate agents.  Has anyone had any negative feedback from sellers when you mention to them that most of the buyer activity is online?  As a realtor we are looking out for the best interest of our client and if all the buying activity is online then that's where I am spendning my time and money...but I do make exceptions to the rule depending on the property.

IMAGINE IF WE ALL DID DOOR KNOCKING twice per week!  With the Do Not Call Laws Affecting 35% of our Call Leads...well At least their is Not a "DO NOT KNOCK" law!!  This week in an effort to achieve my "Top Gun" coaching and training goals for the week..I am spending tommorrow afternoon from 12 Noon till 6 PM Door Knocking.  I am new to Door Knocking and Am Gonna Try to make this as Entertaining as possible.  We all need to find ways to raise money for Gas and food and if the future means I must Door Knock to get my phone to ring then I am Door Knocking!  Anyone else with me?  I think the Media needs something to brag about!

Short sale means the bank is willing to take less than the owner owes them and then they will sue the owner for the difference or write it off. Yes it could be a good deal to get a great buy, but the bank nor the previous owner does not disclose anything about the condition of the home. You must rely on your home inspector should you choose to get one done on the condition, but keep in mind it is for your benefit only as they will not repair or replace anything. So say it had termite damage or electrical issues or mold, you have to repair all of it they will not. AS IS means as is with them. It's risky but no different then buying  a sheriff sale or foreclosure. It just means that the bank already took it or is willing to work out the finances with a seller who is in trouble.
