Have you heard about GreatSchools.net?

Have you been looking for a house and wondered what school district it was in? Wondered how well that school performed or how other parents thought about the school?

Well there is a really great site GreatSchools.net. You can find every school in the Nation. You plug in the address of the potenial home and boom there is your school, from Elementary to High School.

Pretty neat, you see sometimes the MLS does not have the school the home is zoned for, this site makes that much easier to figure out.

So the next time you are looking try it out. Very user friendly!!

Searching for your clients, Do you think outside of the box?

How many of you work with out of town clients? I know that most of us are traditional Realtors and send our clients listings like any other.

But what else do you do for them? With inventory still high, what extra steps are you taking to help them with there buying process? Have you started videos yet? No? Well you should!

This past December I had been working with international clients. They were here the in the States for a short period of time. We manage to look at a bunch of homes and both brothers put in offers. One was accepted the other one wasn't. He wasn't here when we found out that the offer was accepted by another person. He really wanted to find a home but was not sure when he would be bacck here.

I told him I would continue to send him listings and when he found one or a few that he liked to let me know I will go with a camera in hand and record the home for him. It will be like you were walking the house yourself. So he agreed and on we went. I must have recorded about 6 homes.

Out of those he really liked one and put in an offer without viewing the house in person. In fact we closed on the home before he ever stepped foot in the House. How's that for selling a home?

You didn't think that shooting a video of a house would sell it did you? You didn't think it was worth your time? Well I am at a point I am working with 2 more set of out of town buyers. And as it turns out might have one it again. They might be putting in an offer.

You never know, thinking outside of the box has its advantages!

Do you have any idea?

OK while I was up in Deltona this weekend I was headed to Perkins for breakfast. In the parking lot was this bird. I have never seen such a thing and wanted to know what kind of bird it was.

Do you have any idea? Can you share with me? Not asking for much ;)

What kind of bird?

Help me understand this?!?!

I have been working with a buyer as you know from a previous post that we submitted an offer. It took a week for them to get back to us, with a signed contract (thank goodness!). So I forwarded it to my client for him to review.

I got the contract on Monday afternoon, my buyer is out of state so I sent him the contract he needed to look it over and would get it back to me the next morning. I wasn't worried, heck it took a week for the sellers to get it to me. Well Tuesday morning I am getting a call from the sellers agent where the contract was and why I haven't sent it to him back yet. Are you kidding me? I sent it to him yesterday afternoon its only 9:30 right now. Give him some time to look over all the added addendums you sent.

So I get it to him Tuesday afternoon, I give him a call just now to make sure he got it and if it was submitted to the bank yet since he was such in a hurry. He tells me yes he got the email no he hasn't printed it out and no it hasn't been submitted.

Why in the heck would he rush me if he was going to submit as soon as he got it? Dealing with agents like this drives me crazy, but this is the house my buyers love and what they want, so I have to bite my tongue and swallow it.

How do you deal with agents like this? Help me understand this? Wouldn't you want to get this to the bank ASAP to get the deal closed and move on to the next? Why wait so long for the possiblity to have the buyers walk away and you need to put the house back on the market?

Does that make sense to you???
