Even though clients desperately want to buy first, it is not always in their best interests, and they may not be able to do so. With years of experience under my belt, I can now better explain this process to clients, as I have seen firsthand the heartache of the Dark Horse debacle.

I was 18 years old and holding my first ever open house, for my partner, Jeff Joyer.  A little house on Monroe Street in Minneapolis.  A gentleman came in and said “I’ll take it.”…

Did you know that the purchase agreement is pre-printed to state that all items screwed into the wall must stay with the property? That includes curtain rods, shelving, and TV mounts.

At a glance 2020 Real Estate Market…

No, not really!!! It just had the original 90’s colors on the inside. Pink and blue counters, teal carpet… all things that can eventually be changed!

When offering 10% over list price, accepting the property as-is with no inspection, and paying my own buyer’s closing costs, how is it possible that the seller does NOT sell their house to me?! How can we secure a home?

Simple answer: You receive an offer! Even before the multiple offer frenzy of 2020, the rule of 10/10 applied. If a property is priced right, it should receive an offer within 10 days of being listed or after 10 showings.

We advise our sellers to skip the coming-soon status and go straight to active status. Allowing buyers instant access to our sellers’ listings lets them purchase right away and keeps the listing from getting buried in cyberspace.

Summer is the new spring for Real Estate this year. Bottom line, we are in a recession, but unlike 2008, this time the housing industry is in much better shape to weather the storm.
