Celebrate Cheesecake Day
Posted by mjandmack under For Buyers, For Realty Professionals, For Sellers, General Information
Today we celebrate National Cheesecake Day…. one of my favorite meals… dessert…
I have had the pleasure of eating many slices of cheescake along the way …. it’s early but already I am thinking about how to celebrate…. as I am only going to have one slice this is a tough choice..
Did you know that Rockport, Texas has its own ” cheesecake” factory… Jama’s Kitchen …
it has a great menu …. sandwiches, soups…and FANTASTIC cheesecakes….
my favorite is probably pecan praline… turtle… hmmm chocolate amaretto… no wait …. chocolate chip… aww heck….
Happy National Cheesecake Day…. see you at Jamas!!

The Sky is the LIMIT
Posted by mjandmack under For Buyers, For Realty Professionals, For Sellers, General Information
At a recent listing appointment, one of the questions asked was how many of your listings do you sell¦ my answer was the sky is the limit¦ I make a 100% effort to advertise, market, and sell every listing¦.
So why doesn™t every listing sell¦ my answer was ¦ tell me first why you think a listing does not sell¦.
the answers are pretty much always the same¦
priced too high, interior looks bad, exterior looks bad ¦this pretty much covers every itemized reason you can come up with¦.
I said œ you missed one reason œ ¦
the buyer does NOT see a reason/value/need to buy it.
I know, it™s like opening up a can of worms¦ but it™s true¦.
IF the buyer sees value or has seen a reason to buy something¦
the buyer is gonna buy!!!!
Don™t tell me that if you are out œjust shopping around ¦ and you see a reason to buy a pair of shoes at that particular value that you are gonna just walk by
I know because I am the worst¦. My shoe closest needs a closet.
Just think about it¦ you know it™s true¦.
The seller then asked œ so how do I know that my house will sell
My answer was you don™t¦ but here is something you can be certain of¦. the listing will be consistent¦
Consistent “ reliable, steady > adhering to the same principle
Every house deserves steady attention >
> if it is not well maintained “ poorly priced “ it will sit on the market
> if the buyer does NOT see a reason to buy - it will sit on the market
>if the buyer does NOT see value “ it will sit on the market
>if an agent does NOT show a property that they do not have listed “ it will sit on the market
Every house should have a reliable agent >
> update the seller on showings & feedback given
> run a CMA as the market changes
> respond to leads the same day
>will market & advertise the house
>will communicate with the seller
Adhering to the same principle¦.whatever that may be ¦.
Just BE CONSISTENT
Every listing is different¦ the market is different¦ getting financing is different¦. Buyers are different, Sellers are different¦. Agents are different¦.
But it™s the CONSISTENCY with which you do your job that will make the difference ¦ regardless of the profession you are in¦
Provided to you by our consistency to providing the best service…
