LoopNet - #1 in Commercial Real Estate Online

LoopNet - #1 in Commercial Real Estate Online If you ever accept a commercial listing, as a listing agent, I urge you to pop over to LoopNet and set up an account straight away -- if you don't already have one. LoopNet pushes your listing (free of charge) out over the internet. For a few $ they'll do a whole lot more. You owe it to your sellers to check into LoopNet. Now, would be nice.

This is a great piece to share with your sellers and to cover with them. It gives you, their REALTOR, a way to broach the tricky subject of a house that needs some elbow grease. If you cover this article, while you're in the home, you can let Tonya's article be the heavy.

"Mr and Mrs Seller, I was reading this article and I thought of you, like most young parents your children have a lot of toys, and it's difficult to keep them in one place, but like this article says...."

I like it.

Appraisers in 'HVCC hell' | Inman News

Appraisers in 'HVCC hell' Inman News

"HVCC was a misdirected attempt to do good for the public, and in effect ended up costing buyers a lot more for inaccurate appraisals from (mostly) out-of-town appraisers who didn't know the local markets but allowed the lenders to glean more fees for questionable cheap appraisals."
