Our Consumer Guide to Agency Relationships

Ohio real estate law requires that we provide this information at the on-set of any real estate services to potential clients and those we serve.  If you are checking us out online and curious about who we are, how we work and the level of our professional standards – we want to ensure you are getting the upfront information necessary so that we can speak with you and meet this letter of the law requirement.  You may print or keep a copy of this form electronically if you would like; however, when we meet in person – it will be presented to you for signature(s), which in itself does NOT obligate you.  The signed copy will be for our office files and we would be happy to provide you with a signed copy should you request.

I can tell you that SELLERS are anxious and not wanting to get into a winter season with their home still on the market.  If there is ANYTHING you have seen currently on the market – chances are, you can make a deal happen!  Call Us to make it Happen For YOU!!

Electronic Lockboxes ARE Coming!

I am happy to be able to report that the DABR has voted to implement the use of this technology in our area and I am SOOOO Excited to be able to offer this additional feature for those who are looking to SELL their property in the future.  If you have questions, feel free to contact me.  Click on link below for the “official” announcement:

Board President Announces Electronic Lockbox Decision

 

UPDATE:  In an unprecedented move – the Board of Directors had a motion to put this to Membership Vote AFTER being approved.  The general membership discounted the Task Force / Board Approval and VOTED DOWN ELECTRONIC LOCK BOXES.  Sadly, this may well be a dead issue for our area irregardless of the better technology and benefits for our clients.

The Debate Over Electronic Lockboxes Continues…

Well, if you’ve been a client of mine – you know that I SUPPORT the use of Electronic Lockboxes…and you know the many reasons why.

1) Accountability as to who / when someone has been to your house and used the lockbox (this is the best tool for Sellers who are otherwise unsure that an Agent showed up for their showing…see Reason #2) as the lockbox automatically logs the activity from the designated user when they access the key through the box.

Don’t be Afraid to Make that OFFER!

When inventory is low and it seems buyer’s don’t really have many options – DON’T rule out a listing just because it has been on the market awhile…it could be that the seller was holding firm to their price and unable to negotiate – but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take a look / make an offer!! Many times, buyers or their agents may think that a seller “wouldn’t take less” – which may be true or necessary in some cases. BUT – there could be other things the seller is willing or able to negotiate on that would make THE DEAL for the buyer.  I always tell the buyer to at least make the offer – once it’s in writing we can negotiate to get it done!
