We need to remember that our attitudes can give or suck energy from others. We see examples of this in the office, from our children, and friends, neighbors, and even with clients. I like to be around uplifting people. We all have bad days and it's okay to vent to a friend - I'm all for that....but, if we find ourselves complaining everyday about the business, STOP! It sucks energy from others. It repels others. I'm sure we can all find something positive to say about the business. I'd like to hear some news from others to pass along to my friends in the office.
Here's my news - I've done more business this year than last year! Just when I thought I wasn't going to have any "now" clients, one called from a blog I did months ago!
Let me hear your news! Can you tell me something good that is happening in real esate for you???
I just read a wonderful story called The Christmas Box by Richard Paul Evans. It is a short story that can be read in a day. The story is about the first Christmas gift. If you think the answer is gold, it isn't. You will just have to read the book to find out. Though the story is a bit sad, it is a meaningful one and totally worth your time. My journey with this book started out as a book club assignment. I bought it this weekend at Barnes and Noble and finally found it in the Religion section (it is, after all, about Christmas). The story is about a family who moves into a huge Victorian for the living space and in return cooks and cleans for the elderly lady living there. I won't spoil the book by telling you more. But, I will tell you that is is a heartwarming story - many parents who work long hours will learn something. I think I will be giving it as gifts this year to family and a few friends. Let me know your thoughts if you decide to read it.
Opportunity is available now to purchase distressed homes that have built in equity. These homes may be damaged, but provide an opportunity to aquire and fix up the home of your dreams. If you are able to qualify under normal loan guidelines and meet the requirement of as little as 3% down payment then you can secure up to $35,000 to renovate that home. With those funds, you can upgrade flooring, cabinets, windows, paint, bathrooms, and other home related items to make that house your very own home. Time is limited on this program relative to the 3% down payment and after Jan. 1, 2009, the program will have a new requirement of 3.5%.
Homes are available now and deals are disappearing as fast as they post. Don't let a real estate investor beat you to the punch. If you are looking for this type of investment, you should rely on an experienced lender and Realtor to ensure the best deal possible. Please contact Linda Greco with Integrity Realty Group at 410.838.1266 ext. 122 or Frank Gilmartin with First Home Mortgage at 410.879.0160 ext. 114.
Yesterday, I was referred to an investor by an agent in my office who doesn't want to work in the city. She knew I have experience with investors. My question is this: investors coming from a class called Real Estate Riches do not want to sign a buyer agency agreement. Why is that? They just want the agent to submit their offer on a form given to them through this class.
What does a Buyer's Agency Agreement do for the relationship between a buyer and a broker?
1. First and most importantly, this is an agreement that the buyer chooses to work with a broker.
2. It names a period of time that the buyer will work with the agent.
3. It defines the admin. fee and the commission a broker will be paid.
My response is: I can show an investor any property out there. If I show it and cause the ball to start rolling on a purchase, I want to be paid. I can't without this agreement. So, why not sign it?
Any thoughts???

When buying or selling real estate in the Bel Air, Fallston, Aberdeen, Perry Hall, Towson areas, I provide the tools to make a stress free and smart investment .
Why would someone move to the Harford County Northern Baltimore County area? These areas are a wonderful mixture of rural and suburban living. You can choose a townhouse in areas such as Bel Air, Aberdeen, Forest Hill, Perry Hall and Towson. Or, you can buy a house in a neighborhood in these areas and surrounding areas such as Fallston and Jacksonville. Parts of these area also offer substanial amounts of land with the house. The further away from the downtown areas of Bel Air and Towson, the closer you will be to the rural living. The great thing is that no matter where you are in these areas, you will be a short drive from the Chesapeake Bay, Baltimore City, and the beaches. Look at these homes. Or, learn about finding a deal in Maryland.
What ever happened to customer service? It seems so hard to find customer care these days. As a real estate consultant, I am in the business of serving my customers. Any wise business person will tell you that if the customer is happy, the business will thrive. This is why I always exceed my customers' expectations!
I have friends and family who live all around the Baltimore Beltway and beyond. I often am asked if I am familiar with certain areas...chances are I am. I am a life long resident of Maryland. I grew up in Fallston and have returned to Fallston to raise my own family. Harford County is a wonderful place with its quiet living, beautiful scenery and short distance to Baltimore City. I have also lived in Catonsville when I attended UMBC and Towson when I attended TSU. I graduated with honors with a degree in elem. ed. which has served me well in the real estate business. How??? I am great at explaining the selling and buying process and my clients find me organized and approachable. It is rewarding to help people buy and sell homes at different stages of their lives. I take that job to heart. I hope you will allow me to help you arrive happily in your new home - whether it's a first home, dream home or down sizing home.
I enjoy my job very much. My team has over 14 years of experience. I have client care coordinators who maintain our marketing efforts for my sellers. This allows me to focus on the hundreds of phone calls I need to make during a transaction. It also me to take time to keep my buyers and sellers updated and worry free.

I enjoyed working with Linda. She made the buying and selling process smooth transactions. I felt that I could rely on Linda to handle all of my real estate needs without worry. She is focused and committed to her clients.
Thanks to you we are in a better situation to further ourselves and do more for our children. We are truly grateful and will always speak highly of you and give you a strong recommendation to everyone we come by.
You were always available. I would use your services again and refer you to my friends.
Thank you! You and Frank worked so hard to get me into my first home!
