Consider Investing in Vacant Land Lots

Vacant land lots are not just for big developers. They can be a sound investment for the person willing to research the area's present and future development, desirable areas and the type of land suitable for the development of popular construction.

The Circumspect Adjective

By: Ted Gaurnero | 29/01/2009 | Real Estate
The rampant adjectives and overused superlatives in real estate advertising have become so common that they are often mocked as clichés. While an adjective thrown in with useful facts can be a charming accent, home buyers are more impressed by facts that help them decide whether the home is right for them. By paring down listings to sentences that impart needed facts while still being readable, you will make it more likely that home buyers will not ignore your listing by assuming that the flower

Your Substandard Photo Could be Damaging Your Listing

By: Ted Gaurnero | 06/01/2009 | Real Estate
Decent quality pictures make a subtle statement about the home's value; obviously a home that has been given stellar photographic treatment must be worth such treatment. Despite the importance of cold, hard facts (the living room is 12x12 feet; the property is 3 acres), giving home buyers great pictures to look at is going to be what makes them call or email.

Home Sale Safety: Protect Your Home, Your Agent and yourself

By: Ted Gaurnero | 03/12/2008 | Real Estate
Selling your home requires that you open your house to strangers and allow them access to areas that would normally only be open to trusted friends and family. Unfortunately, we can't trust everyone, even those who "look okay". Securing your home and property against crime is a good step to take, especially when you are allowing people you don't know to come inside. Protecting the interests of your real estate agent is also a big step in this endeavor.

Every Realtor wants to have a sure line on how to immediately "connect" with a client. It doesn't exist. What does, however, are strategies whereby you can gain a greater desire on the part of your client to help you and garner positive recommendations.

Go Away... Please? Dealing With Door-to-door Annoyances

If you are afraid that it's a burglar casing the joint, be obvious about your presence in the house or have a recording of a barking dog to play. But you don't have to open the door or engage the caller in any way if you don't feel okay with it. If someone claims to be having car trouble, you can always offer to call the police - from behind the locked door.
