Realtor of the Week: Katrina Villadolid
2009-08-05 00:12:00 West Town was an adventure this week with Koenig & Strey's Katrina Villadolid making sure we saw some of the most unique properties the neighborhood has to offer. Katrina grew up in the suburbs and has lived in Chicago for 12 years in several different neighborhoods.

Realtor of the Week: Joe Siciliano
2009-07-23 00:32:00 Yesterday, I met with Joe Siciliano of @properties for a tour of some homes in the North Center community area. Joe has been in real estate for 18 years and was just the sixth agent at @properties in 2000. He has lived in the Roscoe Village area for the last 10 years and likes getting involved in community events, including this weekend's Retro on Roscoe. With a brother that also works in real estate, Joe knows his community area well. Many of the other Realtors we saw on the tour seemed to be old friends with him. Joe's honest about what he thinks properties are worth and interested in looking at new or unique properties when he gets the chance. Joe's also...
Realtor of the Week: Lee Diamond
2009-07-07 05:18:00 I ventured a bit off the beaten path with this week's Realtor, finding Lee Diamond of Big Shoulders Realty through the Jefferson Park Chamber of Commerce website. Lee used to work for Keller-Williams, but split off with a partner in 2006 to start his own business. The cool thing about Big Shoulders is that it's a more laid-back experience. I met Lee in his rehabbed apartment office with a conference room that looks like this: Lee's dress is casual and he says his business caters a lot to musicians and artists. You have the choice of doing your showings on a bike, by foot or in Lee's car. He's the kind of guy who tells it like it is...
Realtor of the Week: Jeanne Keating
2009-06-26 04:44:00 I have had some dealings on the Near South Side before, but Jeanne Keating really gave me the run-down today, showing me five units from actually in the Loop down to the 1900 block of South Clark. Jeanne has lived on the South Side for almost 10 years now. She grew up in the suburbs, spent several years after college working for law firms, and became a Realtor after her daughter was born. Jeanne works for Re/Max, but also is the local seller for www.highrises.com. That gives her a lot of opporunity to show units listed at high-class locations like Trump Tower and Lakeshore East. She says she loves the diversity of the Near South Side. You can find...

Seasons of Life for Ann Arbor Realtor
2008-09-05 13:29:00 I think this is the longest I have gone without a post since I began blogging on Activerain in Dec 2006. Not sure if it was burn out from all the localism posts, I was trying to do or maybe trying to learn Vista and Office 2007, and getting all the files transferred over to the Sony. I just hired a new assistant, and after having Betty for 10 years, there has been a lot of training to do getting my systems up and running with her. However, I'm excited! If my business was not systematized, I would be in a mess. A system is just recording what you do over and over again so no stone is left unturned. We are tweaking some things, and adding some new ones. Colleen will be handing all the Buyer Agents transactions from contract to close. This is new. In the past all the Buyer Agents showed the home, wrote the offers, negotiated the offers, set up inspections, attended inspections, negotiated inspections, talked to the lenders, removed contingencies and set up closings.

Goodbye MLS.ca, Hello Realtor.ca
2008-08-13 20:41:00 Realtor.ca has finally launched and soon the much loathed MLS.ca will finally be put out of its misery. The recent shut down of the popular Housing123 caused quite a stir and reignited the debate over not just the fact that there is are lack of a quality website for viewing properties in this country, but also the Real Estate Industry's handling of the information itself.The real estate industry in Canada is in some ways unique in that it has managed to avoid to this point what just about every other knowledge-based industry has faced since the invention of the Internet: the mass dissemination of its most precious resource-information. Specifically, they have consistently shut down any attempt that has been made to open up the central MLS database that contains all the information about properties sold and those currently for sale.One of the main reasons why these 'rogue' sites keep popping up is that MLS.ca is pretty terrible and has been basically unchanged over the last severa...
Is My Realtor a Santa Barbara Neighborhood Specialist in My Area?
2008-06-10 10:03:00 Sometimes buyers and sellers will hire a real estate agent who works outside of an area because of friendship or thinking they could save money since this Realtor will give them a "kick-back" on their commission. From my experience, working with an agent who does not have intimate knowledge of the neighborhood you are looking to buy or sell in can hurt you in many ways...financially speaking. Therefore, if you choose to want to work with someone you know who does not know your area well, have them team up with a Realtor who does know the area. Here is a sample list of some crucial information that a Santa Barbara neighborhood specialist will undoubtedly know, whereas an out-of-area real estate agent most likely will not: The history of the neighborhood and the homes, who lived where, when etc. Which homes were previously sold outside of the MLS, FSBO etc. What makes certain homes on a street worth more than the other homes Whic...

61 Realtor groups eye statewide MLS
2008-05-27 09:07:00 The California Association of Realtors reported recently that 61 multiple listing services or Reator assocaitons have sent in letters indicating that they intend to be part of the new statewide database of homes for sale. Currently there are more than 70 MLS’s in the state and 117 associations of Realtors. Supporters of the new project are hoping that the database eventually will evolve into a single multiple listing service for all California.CAR’s board voted in October to form a statewide database that individual MLS’s could voluntarily join. Under the proposed system, the statewide system will combine all listings of homes for sale from participating groups into a single database. While the general public wouldn’t have access to the statewide system, sellers could benefit by gaining exposure throughout California and buyers could use local agents they’re familiar with to search for homes in communities outside their local areas. Some local Realtor a...

The Highs and Lows of a Middle Tennessee Realtor
2008-05-22 09:09:00 Wow, what a ride. This is so much like a roller coaster at my favorite Theme park, Six Flags over Texas that I should be made to pay admission! Let me start at a good place, the beginning. I was a successful Project Manager for one of the largest privately held building companies in America. A great place to work until I got downsized, not really out, but they changed my job description to the point where I cried Uncle. Being a Middle aged man and chief provider for my family, I did the only sensible thing. I asked for a severance package and decided to enter the field of Real Estate when no one seemed to be making money at it. Makes sense to leave a six figure a year job to jump into self employment right? I could not be happier. After getting through the licensing process and paying all the fees, dues and start up cost, I have settled into selling Real Property. I hope in time to share all the highs and lows of this life change so that others will h...

Why Use a Realtor?
2008-05-14 15:13:00 Why Use a REALTOR®? All real estate licensees are not the same. Only real estate licensees who are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® are properly called REALTORS®. They proudly display the REALTOR "®" logo on the business card or other marketing and sales literature. REALTORS® are committed to treat all parties to a transaction honestly. REALTORS® subscribe to a strict code of ethics and are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate. An independent survey reports that 84% of home buyers would use the same REALTOR® again. Real estate transactions involve one of the biggest financial investments most people experience in their lifetime. Transactions today usually exceed $100,000. If you had a $100,000 income tax problem, would you attempt to deal with it without the help of a CPA? If you had a $100,000 legal question, would you deal with it without the help of an attorney...

Top Realtor Gail Boal ~ How do I prepare my Livermore, CA home for sale?
2008-05-02 01:24:00 Doing whatever you can to put your house's best face forward is very important if you want to get close to your asking price or sell as quickly as possible. Short of spending a lot of money, there are several steps people can take to make their home show better: * Sweep the sidewalk, mow the lawn, prune the bushes, weed the garden and clean debris from the yard. * Clean the windows (both inside and out) and make sure the paint is not chipped or flaking. And speaking of paint, this won't affect homes in Ruby Hill area of Pleasanton but older areas of Pleasanton need to be aware of laws affecting your home if it was built before 1978. New federal law gives a buyer the right to request a lead inspection. If you think you might have some problems, do the inspection yourself beforehand and make any fixes you can. * Something as simple as be sure that the doorbell works. * Clean and spruce up all rooms, furnishings, floors, walls and ceilings. It's especially important that the bathroo...
