Patricia Harris of Celtic Realty in Dunedin, FL wrote about her blog about her sadness about her business flourishing when others around her are losing their homes. She and her agents are in business because of others' misfortunes - short sales and foreclosures. Patricia has a big and kind heart and she feels for her clients. We need more Realtors® like her.
We are in deed in a tougher economy now. Many people had lost their homes due to layoffs, perhaps over-bought in homes thinking that salaries will catch up to it, took on an adjustable rate mortgage thinking that they will refinance before the rate re-adjusts (but life happens and it became a low priority). Many people, not only in Florida but across the country had bought houses because interest rates were very low and there were lots of sub-prime loans out there. Frisco TX real estate where I work is no exception.
I feel sad about some sellers' situations. However, we as Realtors® should focus on applying our skills and knowledge in getting our sellers through the short sales and foreclosure process, instead of mopping with them about their situations. It is a fact that the value of their homes did not hold up. It is a fact that their homes are worth less than their loan balance. It is a fact that sellers cannot make their payments the past few months. These are all facts but instead of focusing on things we cannot change in the past, it is time to concentrate on getting out of uglier situations.
I feel that short sales and foreclosures are horrible. I never wish it upon anyone. But if it does happen, I want to say, it is not the end of the world. There is more to life than there unfortunate situations. I am usually more concerned about the family's emotions going through these troubled times. I know that as long as families stay in tact, they can weather this. I know it may sound easy to say, but it is just money. If you lose it, all you have to do it to go out and find it again. But do not let banks, short sales and foreclosures take your families away. Marriage and emotions should be top priorities. And yes, as Realtors®, as much as we apply our knowledge and we are not counselors, that will be where the focus is while walking the client through this tough and difficult time.
As another word of advice to Realtors®, short sales and foreclosures are a whole different ball game. Help the clients where you can. If you are not knowledgeable enough, refer it out to your local area short sales and foreclosure specialists. These people are facing a real problem. They do not need you to stumble your way, blind-folded hand holding them through this process. They need experts in this field. You could work with the agent hand-in-hand.
Focus on our knowledge. Focus on the people.
Copyright © 2008 by Loreena Yeo (3:16 team REALTY). Do not lose focus while walking clients through difficult times.
You have done your due diligence. You have de-cluttered. You have brought in the curb appeal. You have done everything you could do to anticipate the sale of your home at Panther Creek Estates. It has been over 90 days with not much traffic. You wonder Why? Is the market "really" that bad?
Your incompetent agent says "Yes". Your heart sank. You are not sure how much longer you have to sit on the market until you sell it. Living in a house in showing condition has definitely been challenging for you and your family. Sometimes you wonder if you should rent it
. You just continue to wait.
I say "incompetent" because I have searched many data/ records on the MLS system of how the community is put in. Unfortunately, it is confusing for buyers when there is 2 Panther Creeks. One at the Dominian at Panther Creek while the other is the "Panther Creek Estates". Your real estate agent had been confused to. I have seen some record data where it should have been "Village of Panther Creek" - the legal name of Dominian at Panther Creek and vice versa.
Maybe, just maybe that is the reason why your house have not sold.
If you are thinking about selling your home in Panther Creek and you do not want to repeat the mistakes some sellers have taken, contact me immediately. This blog is in no way an encouragement or explicit message to current sellers with a signed obligation exclusivity to sell contract to break their current contract. If you want to work with a competent real estate agent who knows these two Panther Creek Estates clearly, one who understands who to market each community and property differently, contact me for a home evaluation. I also employ a systematic market approach where you would be on your way to the closing table with the implementation of my strategy. Contact me today.

Bent Trail is located in the north Dallas prime real estate location off Preston Road and Bentwood Trails, just south of the George Bush Tollway and Preston. Bent Trail is a fairly large community with a variety of homes for buyers of most budgets.
Bent Trail offer traditional brick homes, comtemporary modern as well as colonial architecture homes. They are placed strategically within its own "style", so the community looks pleasant and dramatic. These houses typically range from the low 2,000 square feet, even though once a while, you could find some three-bedroom houses for around 1,800 square feet.
Price range of these houses (at time of print: August 2008, they are starting in the low $200,000). Some larger houses are closer to 4,000 square feet with lots of landscaping to attract any buyers for the community. Some of these houses could go as high as in the luxury price ranges (over $800Ks and some even in the million dollar price ranges).
Bent Trail is a beautiful community surrounded by elegant homes. The curb appeal is spectacular. The community has winding roads among the houses. It is just a beautiful drive to go home to everyday. The trees are matured, the shrubs are pruned and the annuals just smile at you when you look at them. Bentwood Park - a public park provided by the City of Dallas is open for everyone. But more often than not, the residents use it. There is a very large pond, surrounded by trees, picnic tables and benches and BBQ grills for great get-togethers. There are several tennis courts and a basketball court for use also. The HOA dues are very low for a community such as this.
Since location is prime, houses in the Bent Trail community sell fairly quickly when compared to their competition nearby. School aged children attend the Plano School District. They go to Haggar Elementary, Frankford Middle School, Shepton Junior High or Plano West Senior High School. SAT and ACT scores from Plano West are the highest among the three high schools offered by PISD (Plano Independent School District).
Bent Trail is located in the Collin County but within the City of Dallas limits. That means cheaper house and auto insurance since it's located in the Collin, rather than Dallas county. Bent Trail is indeed one of the most-sought after communities for buyers who are looking to stay within the Dallas city limits but with the highly-acclaimed Plano independent school district. The best of both worlds!

The city of Frisco, TX has been booming exponentially since 2000. From farm lands, it is now covered with residential and commercial real estate. Frisco real estate has been hedging up with land prices increasing every year. Naturally, typical residential lots are going to be smaller and more expensive.
Over 65 feet across (width) is considered a good-sized lot
here in Frisco, TX. Some Frisco residents have felt as if neighbors are piled on top of each other. So, they are opting to move to cities with larger lot sizes. Many of them are moving to the acreages of Prosper and Celina. Prosper and Celina are located just north of Frisco. So, they are just a few more miles drive and a few more minutes of commute from Frisco.
The northern suburbs of Dallas are undergoing strong growth. Residential growth is heading northwards. Very soon, the commercial sector will follow closely. With the completion of the North Dallas Tollway up to Highway 380, and construction along the area, Frisco will continue to be a highly-sought after city to live and work. The cities such as Prosper, Celina, Little Elm (west of Frisco) and McKinney (east of Frisco) will continue to receive the good fortune this area brings.
Some of the communities of Prosper and Celina:

Prior to entering the wonderful world of real estate sales, I used my degree in Civil Engineering working at an architectural aluminum framing company in Dallas. Some of my high-profile projects include the Aladdin Casino Resort, the Bellagio Resort & Casino, the Computer Associates Headquarters, the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington and the International Plaza in Dallas. While at this company, my manager/owner recognized my creative talents and created a department just for me: Business Development. There I applied my natural gifts in sales and marketing to help expand the company. I credit my success in real estate sales to the real-world education I learnt while at this company.
I firmly believes in providing high-quality service and in being a trusted advisor to my clients. When I work with a buyer or a seller, I see opportunities to help clients handle the details of what is perhaps their most significant asset, their home or property. I am proud to offer my clients professional advice on all aspects of a real estate transaction and I am committed to always putting the clients' interests first.
I have never been comfortable with pushy salespeople and therefore I do not apply that strategy in my own business. I will give my honest opinion (I know I owe my clients and myself at least that much), but will never push you just so that I can make a sale. Throughout my real estate career, I have worked with clients who were not quite ready to purchase a new home, but I was willing and able to work with them, getting them ready for the time when they were ready for their own American dream. I have also assisted out-of-town buyers and sellers, as well as sellers in various stages of financial distress.
I am also an experienced real estate investor and landlord. Alongside my real estate investor client, I assist in analyzing the investment potential of a property and I understand how to protect your bottom line. I strive to minimize risk and maximize profits. I developed my own network of honest contractors and other service providers that earned myself a position as a valuable resource in the investor community.
I understand that home-buying and selling are emotional experiences. My job is to provide an unbiased and objective, yet caring perspective to the real estate sales process. I am committed to earning your business and referrals.

"I think you are a really good real estate agent. You are my second and I was really upset with the first agent that I worked with. It made me feel like she was just trying to close the deal and was working with the salesperson to make me do things that I was not happy with. The agent made me felt like I did not have a choice. On the other hand, you told us exactly what your experiences were and gave us lots of valuble advise, which helped make this purchase a great one. Thanks again!"

"We are very satisfied with the service provided by Loreena. She is very dedicated to her customers. She has been a great help to us as first-time home owner. She spent a lot of time with us going through the whole process and provided valuable advice on getting our new house. I will highly recommend Loreena to all of my friends and to anybody."

"For 2 long years I tried to sell my house without any success. Loreena sold fast and at a very fair price. If you are in her hand, you're in THE HANDS."

"Thank you so much for your help in the process of purchasing my house. You were easily accessible by email or phone. You listened to what I was looking for and showed me the houses I wanted to see. It has been a good experience."
"You have been great so far even after I bought the house. You've checked my county house appraisal value and let me know - it was really good."

"Loreena, you were so helpful in your advice on how to prepare and stage our home. We never dreamed it would sell the first weekend! You under-promised and over-delivered! You did your research, you made solid recommendations, you were thorough and well-prepared. You did what you said you would do and then went beyond - How can we thank you enough! You're wonderful!"

"Realtors like Loreena are the ones I like to do business with. One that I know won't be pushing me into buying more than I can realistically afford and one that listens when I tell them that XX amount REALLY is the max we are willing to spend."
