One Showing Experience that I will not forget

July 14th, 2009 · Uncategorized

I got a floor call on Tuesday from a woman who wants to see some rental places, I have traded some phone calls with her during that day, then I set some appointments for her. I called her a few times after that and try to tell her that I have scheduled all these appointments. But I did not hear back from her for a couple of days, then I left her a message and told her that I will cancel the appointments if I do not hear back from her. Her husband called that afternoon and confirmed with me of the two appointments. It took me a hour to get there on a Sat, then I tried to call them in all three numbers with nobody answer the phones. I just do not understand why people do things like this. To waste other people’s time and what is good for them? I hope that I am not going to have anyone like this again.

A coworker has introduced a potential renter to me. It was very hot and I was waiting for him for more than 1 hour and then he called and told me that he was coming. After delaying for 2 hours, we saw three places and he wanted to see three more the next day. After seeing three more places the next day. He has disappeared. No more phone calls or e mails.

Foreclosure is closed – 155 N Harbor Dr Unit 3210

July 8th, 2009 · Uncategorized

This is a two bedrooms plus den unit, it was on foreclosure in April this year, I have tried to show this unit to a few of my clients but they did not want to purchase due to different reasons. The final close price on this unit is $400,000 which I think is a great deal. As there are lots of closet space in this unit and the view is great! But yes you need to spend around $20-40k to do some remodeling work.

The closing price is $305,000 out of the asking price of $334,500. This is an agent owned unit so we could think they have avoided some realtor fees. but still the drop is around 10%.
