MERCEDES SOTO

Hello Again

Just a few notes about the neighborhood.

Has your neighborhood taken a wrong turn and you wish the new neighbors took care of it like the old ones did?

Well,

I was in the middle of a thought when an idea crossed my mind. I was thinking of a friend who would always tease me about not cooking because she had this idea that just because my stove was not greasy and the burners of my stove were not black, I never used my stove. Boy she as wrong!

I am a "Latina" and we "Latinas" cook like there was no tomorrow. Breakfast, lunch and dinner and we "do" use our stove for all the mentioned.

Anyway, I was explaining to her that the trick of my range looking brand new (even though I use it every day) was that I would clean it after cooking each meal. I gave her a demonstration and a crash course on how to clean hers, that had not been cleaned within months. After that, she learned, and taught her roommates how to do it too.

My point is... Sometimes people are not what they seem. They only need an idea or an inspiration.

If you neighborhood has suffered from neglect of new comers, do not despair, we have a network of professionals that can assist. Just give us a call, we can help and we can educate.

Hello Again!

Just a note about the Market and Agents.

I have been experiencing so often many complaints about Real Estate Agents who are not being "nice" to sellers. By not nice, I mean, negative criticism and wrongful use of words regarding their property. I have heard things like, " I don't have time for this", "you are better off foreclosing", "Your home has no way out in this market". "Is their someone you want to give your home to".

Anyway,

I know we are in a terrible market for the seller. Especially the people that have lived for many years and made no improvements on the property. But not doing the job as agents or Real Estate professionals will give other agents a bad name and an awful reputation like we had back then.

There are sometimes when it is impossible to list, but the right choice of words will aid in the decision of being chosen to be "The Listing Agent" when "the better time" comes. Also think about "the referral". Maybe you cant list the home, but if you were empathetic enough, you will be referred as the only agent who was kind enough to listen and take the time to suggest future possibilities.

You do not have to be nobodies psychologist but, you can always be kind.

My name is Mercedes and my name means "kindness",and kindness is all you will receive when doing business with me. I am a Real Estate Professional and If I cant help you, I will make sure we find a way to better serve you and your situation.

Have a blessed day always, my number is 770-778-1849. Feel free to call me if you are wondering about the idea of listing. There is no fee for listening. I am in this market just as you, and together we will beat it. Just stay put and hang on tight.

ciao, Mercedes
