“I like being able to get all the necessary standard forms and a pricing report from the Realtor.

I like your instant customer service by phone 7 days a week. Jenna helped answer my preliminary questions, and Laurie was fantastic today when I signed up – She even offered to resize my photos for me!

In addition, Laurie had the Realtor call me back instantly. So I was receiving services 5 minutes after signing up!”

“I like that you emphasize the importance of the MLS, rather than pretending that I can sell my home just by listing it on an FSBO website.”

albert — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 22:46:49 +0000

“The main attraction is the 25 photos on MLS and Realtor.com.

I like the “No hidden fees” promise.

I like getting the lockbox (saves me from buying one on eBay)

Expanded and Extended Federal Tax Credit for Home Buyers expected to create a wave of new, higher income buyers

albert — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:30:59 +0000

As the Chair of the Minnesota Association of Realtors Governmental Affairs Committee, our Lead Broker often gets the details before others. The President will tomorrow sign into law a greatly expanded Federal home buying stimulus that should increase buyers in price ranges up to $500,000 to $600,000. While the previous stimulus was limited to first time home buyers, and therefore had little impact on the Minnesota market above $250,000, this one is open to buyers who have owned their current home for five or more years. The lower income limits of the previous program were greatly expanded, allowing buyers with annual incomes of up to $225,000 to get the full stimulus, and below $245,000 to get a phased out stimulus (married couple incomes cited). The program starts immediately and is available as long as purchase agreements are signed before the end of April 2010.

Here is an excellent comparison of the new and old programs, put together by staff:

Consult your tax professional for tax advice.

Can I temporarily take my home off the market during the holidays?

albert — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:43:15 +0000

Yes, temporarily changing the status to unavailable and then back to active is free and easy. Keep in mind that showings on or right before the holidays are extremely rare, almost unheard of in Minnesota. Another item to consider is that buyers who do need to look at homes right around holidays are often highly motivated buyers—out of town relocations “need to buy a home in 24 hours” kind of buyers come to mind. Lastly, there is no problem in Minnesota with declining a showing request by explaining that you have a holiday commitment at that time. Perhaps you could get that buyer to reschedule? It is better to have a chance to get that interested buyer in the property at some time then to never know they existed.
