Does Seller Motivation Mean No Regrets After Listing a Home?
May 30th, 2023
Seller motivation is important in any Sacramento real estate transaction and extends beyond an urge to sell a home. It extends all the way to closing. Seller motivation means many things, though. When buyer's agents ask me if my seller is motivated, they are asking if my seller will accept a lower price for her home, and the correct answer to that question is: I send all offers to the seller. A listing agent who responds without permission: heck yeah, let's negotiate, could be guilty of violating her fiduciary duty to the seller.
Sometimes I spot listings in MLS in which the[...]
No Guarantees in Sacramento Real Estate for a Seller
May 23rd, 2023
It seems that Sacramento sellers are wanting a lot of guarantees in a sale these days, some of which they just can't get. That's a recipe for a few frustrated sellers. For example, I've had sellers tell me they want 100% assurance that the buyer can get the loan. Well, I'd like to be 29 again, too, but it ain't gonna happen. OK, maybe not 29, maybe 39 instead. Yeah, like Jack Benny and 39. A perpetual 39, never a day older.
We can get a preapproval letter from a lender, and we can do all the due diligence possible about that[...]
Good Customer Service From a Sacramento REALTOR
May 16th, 2023
On a real estate agent community website yesterday, an agent asked what makes good customer service. Some agents said under-promise and over-deliver. Others admitted it varies from each client's perspective, while a few went off on whether customer service should be good or like Tony the Tiger says, GREAAAAAATTT.
I find this to be an interesting question because I've always employed just one tactic to provide good customer service: Keep the client happy. It seems so simple but it's not. First and foremost, a Sacramento REALTOR needs to figure out what will make the client happy. Levels of happiness and the[...]
Conflicts After Closing a Sacramento Home
May 9th, 2023
There are some business relationships you never want to end because they are so much fun, especially when everybody in the escrow is happy and excited, and then there are the oddballs . . . well, we won't go there. Those are few and far between, though, because I've been a lot more selective of with whom I decide to work in Sacramento real estate, because there is only one of me to be pulled in a dozen different directions. I strive for no conflicts during escrow and prefer no conflicts after closing a Sacramento home.
I generally go out of[...]
It is How a Sacramento Realtor Says It to Describe a Home For Sale
May 2nd, 2023
Ask any writer, the most powerful type of word in the English language is a verb, hands down; yet when it comes to describing a home for sale and marketing Sacramento real estate, verbs are not nearly as useful as a noun, and proper nouns are better. As a Sacramento REALTOR who also writes professionally, I adore verbs. Verbs punch. Verbs shove prose front and center. A home description, however, is not capable of much movement or lively action, and it's difficult for four walls and a roof to, say, spring to life through a verb.
A friend whose business is[...]
