DISQUS

I guess some things don't get better with age.

Which presidential candidate do you think will pick up on this? It could possibly help McCain because I don't think people are buying into his $300 Billion dollar bad mortgage buyback idea.

Melina, I didn't say "how do I need to price my home to sell". I said I was asking for your professional opinion of the home. Two sets of eyes are better than one.

Recently the Real Estate Commissioner in Georgia was talking about some of the most frequent filings against agents in the state. The most common complaint was the lack of communication from the clients agent. I think that can even be taken further, if an agent is not going to give feedback on a listing they have shown they should not be allowed to show the listing.

For the agents who don't want to work with buyers in the Atlanta Market just send them to me. I'll be happy to pay you a referral fee. On the other hand thank goodness my site is well optimized and generating quite a bit of traffic itself.

Thanks for the article Barry.

Where is FrontDoor getting the listings from?

Years ago I heard a statement about adding pictures to listings and this article confirms it: "A picture is worth a Thousand Dollars". Multiple pictures...well you get the picture!

I was wondering where Homeland Security was in this ARK project. What a GREAT POST. BTW welcome to AG.

I just wish we could use our irrigation systems in the Atlanta area. We remain in a drought condition and are not allowed to water.

You probably will not see this type marketing utilized by
PRUDEntial.

Any idea what the Zestimate is on this home?

Quote from David G, "As you probably know, the current market is extremely frustrating for many sellers and these desperate times certainly brings out the worst in some folks. It’s understandable".

What is not understandable is how "Z" knowingly distributes inaccurate information in their BStimates and then sweeps it under the carpet with disclaimers and saying that they are a media company. Visitors to the site are not looking for disclaimers to read they are looking for information and by providing them with inaccurate information you are doing the entire real estate community a disservice. Shame on you.

Z has to understand that the listing agent has a written agreement with the seller to advertise the property at a specific price for a specific time period and includes specific terms and conditions. The only people who should be allowed to post any property for sale on Z or any other site are the seller or the listing agent/broker. Anyone else allowed to post the property is just gossip.

You may have difficulty obtaining accurate numbers. How many times have we gone to show a home that is listed as 4 bedrooms and we find out that there are only 3 legit bedrooms.

I went to the Neighborcity site and looked around. I actually found 2 of my listings on there fairly quickly. I was wondering how they refer buyers or sellers to agents as I saw no way for agents to enter any info. Also what kind of referral fees are they charging. I would be interested in working with buyers and sellers in the northeast metro Atlanta areas of Gwinnett, Forsyth and Fulton counties.

If you are able to stop the bed at any level, is there a weight limit for the occupants of the bed? I wonder what kind of structural bracing is involved? Just questions that make you go HUMMMM.

What makes these people think they have the right to destroy someone else's property to promote their cause? I hope they are caught and punished to the max. What a waste!

Presenting yourself as the expert in a particular niche market via the social networks is an excellent strategy. Whether you are the relocation specialist, first time buyer specialist, luxury home specialist or whatever, it doesn't matter. Define yourself.

The main question is why did the seller accept the second offer? Did both buyer's provide prequalification letters from trusted lenders with their offer? Which offer was more beneficial to the seller from a timing standpoint? I have structured transactions where our offer was lower than another offer on the table but our time frame was more suitable as we did not require the seller to move twice.

I don't think the agent did anything wrong by showing each buyer the same homes. He may have been more derelict in his duties had he not shown each buyer every home available that met their criteria.

Of course trying to guess what a court ruling would be is not easy, especially since we do not have all the evidence. If we guess that, due to the fact that Sam had each buyer sign a buyer broker, he probably is an ethical agent and did not disclose anything about either of the transactions to the other buyer, my vote is for NOT GUILTY.

With all the broken promises and inaccurate zestimates it is no wonder that Vannessa Fox left them.

I have alway thought that AR would sell. After all thats the American way isn't it? You have to wonder how many agents will pack up and start their own blogs once a new owner starts charging for the service.

Being a REALTOR in Atlanta Georgia and knowing how efficient it is to have listings online and available on my website, I find it amazing that the primary way for buyers in New York City to find property for sale is the newspaper. Welcome to the Real Estate Information Age.
