| 6/26/2008 12:27:02 PM From: beags Don't let your employees do stuff like this: Our realtor, who had lived in our development for 20-some years, "forgot" to mention to us that our association fees would be going up 10% a year for the following 3 years.. even though she said "I have to disclose to you that the association fee is increasing by 10% next month" the day we closed. Hmm.. I understand why she didn't tell us- she would have lost a sale. But I'm really, REALLY pissed off at her for not saying anything. And I've been searching, searching for cheap housing. I can mow the lawn and maintain the roof and siding for less money per month than I am putting out in association fees (and that's with paying someone else to do it). End rant.. | |

Each tour has about 6-10 houses in various neighborhoods that are close by one another. While these house on the tour list are not for sale, I think perhaps you could do something similar with the houses you have listed for sale. Rather than show a house, you could show a neighborhood and present a story or two about the houses there. |  |

|
|
| 6/26/2008 12:34:45 PM From: Rani The reason I ask is because on Hidden Potential, (HGTV) ever seen that show, well, they have a decorator show a computer thingy of what could be done to a house to make it "fit" into what the buyer is looking for. | |

| 6/28/2008 1:37:45 AM From: hugo Actually I would categorize flexible rate mortgages as more of a gamble than a scam. If you have good credit and you plan on living in a home less than about six years they can be a good deal. The gamblers who got burned were the ones loaning to people with poor credit in the hopes housing values would continue to escalate. | |

| 6/28/2008 11:11:09 AM From: hugo Advertise free home warranties to prospective buyer clients then get the seller to pay for it. The typical dumb buyer will never figure out it did not cost you a cent. Have your agents underrepresent the monthly payment by about 10%. People hardly ever walk away from the closing table. Tell sellers to provide buffets for open houses and invite all your agents so at least they will be well fed. Earn people's trust by kidnapping their pets then finding them. | |
