Welcome to the Tuscany

Welcome to the Tuscany

Picture this... You work in town... maybe even Midtown. You enjoy the cool and eclectic variety of restaurants in that area. Gas is $4/gallon, and you are tired of spending 30-45 minutes each morning and evening driving out to your house in "the 'burbs." Maybe it is time for a change......

Executive Home

Executive Home

9010 Brixham Court This is an amazing house. There isn't really another way to put it. From the time you enter the fabulous wrought iron front door, it is easy to see that no expense has been spared while building and remodeling this home. While it is always popular to say that there are “too m...

Is All Real Estate Local? PDF Print E-mail

The NAR has been rallying around a new battle cry since the real estate market went from rampage to challenge. Most everyone has heard it by now...

All Real Estate is Local...

Well, it is, right? Isn't it? Well, yes and no.

I used to be firmly in the "real estate is local" school... in fact, before the NAR thought it was cool. But, as the NAR has shifted positions, I felt the need to re-examine MY position. I don't like it when I agree with the NAR too much.

Simply put, because it has a greater impact that many other media. For property, it gives scale and relevance. The viewer can tell more while seeing a person move through a room on video than they can while looking at a still photo. And even if the photo is panning or zooming, it just isn't the same as a full motion video with a person hosting.

This is why I am using ReelDwellings.tv for my listing videos, where appropriate. It isn't a cheap solution, but it is a quality solution.

Of course, this isn't the "end all, be all" for marketing.

  • WhatIf? Realty... A different way to sell property...

    The simple fact is that not all sellers NEED a real estate agent. I have some folks I working with right now that have moved 38 times in 30 years. They have bought and sold 38 different homes in 30 years. In real estate terms, they have transacted 76 sides. Breaking it down, they have 2.5 sides per year for 30 years. There are full time agents in the business that haven't done 76 sides... or even 2.5 sides a year for a long stretch.

    They don't need an agent.

    How about sitting down with an agent and having an honest conversation about selling your home? Read More

  • Add on? or get out?

    A lot of (would-be)sellers are asking that question right now. Should they sell their homes to buy another that better suits their needs... or hang tight and make changes to their current home.

    I understand. I really understand. As the father of a four year old and a 4 month old... I understand. As the husband of a wonderful wife that goes back and forth between those ideas, I REALLY understand.

    And it is NOT an easy question to answer.

    This might be an incredible time to buy a home. It might also be a terrible time to buy a home. I can sit here and make a case for... Read More
