Bullhead City Real Estate – Lamenting “The One That Got Away”

May 3, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I occasionally come across consumers who are unable to get past the house that they didn’t get.

They can’t seem to get it out of their mind. They compare everything else to that one lost opportunity.

Many of them will blame their agent. Sometimes, that may be true, sadly.

But more often than not, it is because:

  • they took too long to decide, and someone else who was able to move fast snagged it
  • they made an unrealistic offer, thinking the seller was obligated to negotiate
  • it was a short sale and lost to foreclosure, or
  • the bank countered at a price they wouldn’t pay–even though they loved the house
  • they were too picky about small stuff
  • they were not playing for a win-win and the seller rejected their offer outright
  • they were looking at homes before they were ready, willing and able to buy

I understand disappointment and even heartbreak. And the last thing we ever want is a sad client!

And yeah, some things are just not fair.

But you have no choice except to move on, adjust your expectations and realize that perfect doesn’t exist except in a skewed hindsight perception.

You can’t even BUILD perfect (although you can come close and it will cost you)

If you see a home that fits 80-90% of your criteria, and you really love it, you can bet that someone out there is also eyeing it too. So take your best shot out of the gate and give a little to get a lot!

What you CAN do that is very empowering is be:

  1. prepared
  2. ready to move in an instant, and
  3. realistic about your choices, budget and the market

I don’t like the cliche, “if it’s meant to be”, either. Even if sometimes it is true.

I feel that more is within our control than outside it.

Part of that control is being willing and able to see clearly what you have to work with!

Still. like a jilted lover whose subsequent choices just never ‘measure up’ . . .

. . . if you are stuck in the “one that got away” rut . . .

don’t be surprised if you end up with nothing.

Because that kind of attitude is a self-fulfilling prophecy that will suspend and disable you.

Shake it off and work with your agent on a game plan.

Otherwise, you might just be lamenting about the ‘great agent who got away’ too.

Sometimes the most powerful magic is simply a shift in perception.

Let us help you get what you want.

The Value Of A Bullhead City Real Estate Professional

December 20, 2010 By Leave a Comment

A California broker wrote a post about how so many real estate agents are a waste of money. That got me thinking . . .

In the post and a comment, he said, “When the service becomes available that allows the owner to represent themselves in an efficient manner – THEY WILL . . . when the service I envision becomes available the owners will have access to the information they need to represent themselves efficiently and the paperwork will executed online with unusual/exceptional provisions being reviewed by Real Estate Attorneys for a fee — but these fees will end up being substantially less than the current commissions paid to Realtors.”

I tried to imagine such a service . . . and even though I was 86′d from ‘the thinking box’ a long time ago . . . I couldn’t get there.

I don’t believe that a service will EVER or CAN ever become available that replaces what agent representation provides.

No amount of facts and information, knowledge of statute, level of proficiency in completing paperwork will be able to do that.

The reason is . . .

Information is devoid of emotion.

If the real estate process was completely dispassionate, and owners could truly distance themself from

the home they built a life in . . .

the business they built from nothing . . .

the lifestyle that the piece of land where they would build their dream home on meant to them . . .

the community being relocated to–or away from . . .

the feeling of ego-gratification that comes with ‘bragging rights’ over making a great deal

the agony of buyers’ or sellers’ remorse . . .

Well then . . . maybe.

BUT THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AS LONG AS PEOPLE HAVE HEARTS, FEELINGS AND EGOS.

Until that wonderful, awful day . . . when we can take a pill that turns our brain into one big left hand side:

  • People will need to be shielded from the actions of those whose plans conflict with theirs.
  • People will need to be insulated from days of hours of minutes of seconds of pure stress when deadlines loom large and everyone’s dropping the ball.
  • People will need their heads realigned when they’re not seeing the whole picture–or the big picture.
  • They’ll need their feet replanted on the ground when they lose sight . . . or touch.
  • They will need to be reminded of the cost and value of intangibles–like opportunity. Or freedom.
  • They’ll need to be comforted when the news is very bad.
  • They’ll need a voice of reason when it’s too good to be true.
  • They’ll need help thinking through or past ‘immediate gratification’
  • They’ll need the call to action when time is the essence.
  • Or someone who knows someone who can fix things when it all hits critical mass.

Show me the computer program that can do that.

Show me a piece of paper that can do that.

We do it every day. It’s a big part of what we do.

So nah. We’re not going anywhere. And information’s been out there for DIYers for years. Didn’t replace us then and won’t now.

We’re not taking a cut in pay either–if anything, we are earning more–because people aren’t averse to paying us. What they want is their money’s worth.

And good agents deliver it.

What Is Your Definition Of Professionalism? Here’s Mine

November 24, 2010 By Leave a Comment

The lady who did my nails yesterday was delightful. She was messy, late, scattered . . .

and OMG, did she make me look fabulous.

She was a PRO.

As she spilled polish on her (well protected) table, she smiled and said, “I’m a mess. But that’s just how I roll.”

It made me think about how we define professionalism in our industry. I may measure it a bit differently than some. Perhaps not. :)

Professionalism is not how stuffy or condescending you can be to demonstrate superiority.

It’s inclusive, not exclusive.

Professionalism is relaxed and has a sense of humor because you have nothing to prove when you know what you are doing.

It’s knowing when you are in over your head and having the good sense to ask for help.

Professionalism is doing a job well for its sake.

Style isn’t enough to get by. Substance is essential.

It’s nowhere NEAR measured by who you clink glasses with at the latest Tweetup, or how many Facebook friends you have.

It can be greatly enhanced by those you know that NO ONE knows about.

It’s not who YOU are at all.

It’s what RESULTS you get that solved the problem.

Professionalism is leaving your ego out of the equation.

It’s bringing people together . . . not creating adversaries.

It’s knowing when to sidestep a pothole.

Professionalism can turn on a dime if required.

It’s how you roll.

It’s crossing the t’s and dotting the i’s–and quickly fixing what spots were missed.

It’s NOT manipulating others to do YOUR job.

It’s acknowledging the good works of others.

Professionalism is the ability to continually and instantly VALUATE everything.

Especially time.

Professionalism requires a great deal of generosity.

It’s being prepared because you anticipated the probabilities.

it’s being able to improvise because you know you couldn’t possibly anticipate them all.

It’s helping others help their clients – because it helps yours.

It’s knowing when to stay out of something that is not your concern.

When to cut someone a break . . . and when to hold their feet to the fire.

When to talk, but more importantly

when to listen.

Is professionalism akin to wisdom?

It might just be.

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

Fort Mohave AZ Real Estate – Emerald River Estates – Cul-De-Sac Homesite With Block Wall And Septic – $62,500

October 12, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Emerald River Estates is a small, lovely Fort Mohave AZ real estate subdivision of custom homes starting in the low 100s up into the 300s. It sits high atop El Rodeo Road, with panoramic views of the mountains and valley below. For many of the lucky homeowners, the views include the Avi Resort with its spectacular fireworks displays during major holiday and many weekends.

Sage Hill, a recently purchased adjacent subdivision, when development is completed, will further enhance the desirability of this exclusive Fort Mohave community.

Emerald River Estates has no HOA dues, and except for a handful of homes on the northeast edge, is not in the flood plain. The homesites are all large (around 1/4 acre or more) and most have septic tanks although some are hooked up to sewer (no mandatory sewer improvement districts in this Mohave County unincorporated area at this time). The location is wonderful, because not only is it only a couple of miles east of the Colorado River, Avi Resort, gorgeous tribal beaches, shopping centers, schools and the new, state of the art Valley View Medical Center . . . it is also about 3 miles west of miles upon miles of jeep trails for your off road vehicles.

Virtually all of Emerald River Estates is developed . . . no land has been available for sale for quite some time.

This .28 acre custom homesite with septic and almost all of the block wall in, however, has just come onto the market for the first time in almost 7 years:

2207 Emerald River Circle is at the end of a cul de sac of gorgeous Fort Mohave custom homes. Only a small amount of block is left to complete the block wall on 3 sides.

On either side, a beautiful custom home.

Septic is in at the front part of the lot, and the wedge shape lends perfectly to an entertainer’s back yard, larger in the back for pool, barbecue and whatever you can envision. (The RV does not convey and will be removed by Close of Escrow)

The views from the front of the lot–a straight shot to the valley and Avi Resort–will make front porch or balcony stargazing or fireworks parties a cake walk!

The BEST thing about this property, however, is that you can begin building immediately–or not! No build deadlines!

But if you are ready to build your custom dream digs, all you need is a Fort Mohave AZ custom home builder–and we can direct you to one. Build your pool and home at the same time and save money!

Offered at $62,500. the list price is consistent with similar nearby sales that did not include the block or septic system. Value is definitely here!

For more information on this or any of our great Fort Mohave real estate parcels, give us a call, text or email.

Want To Find An Exceptional REALTOR? Ask Their CLIENTS — NOT Their Facebook Or Twitter Friends!

May 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment

I love trolling the Internet. So many opinions bandied about.

I was playing fly on the wall and overheard an online chat about who is a good REALTOR, extolling the virtues of some big and bright online stars. But how many of them are really ‘journalists’ who practice only in theory?

Inexperienced newbies who hopped the online bandwagon 10 minutes ago?

Inactive licensees who never sold anything at all?

It occurred to me that there is really only one way to determine who truly is a experienced and efficient real estate professional.

Their satisfied customers.

Oh, don’t get me wrong. A strong online presence is a good thing. So is being a popular and social agent. It shows we play well with others–and a lot of successful closings for happy clients truly are made on the merits of the relationships between the brokers. When we get a choice, we choose to work with who we get along with, and that means more successful transactions at the end of the day.

But whether or not someone is a GREAT REALTOR?

Only our CLIENTS can say for sure.

  • They experience the level of service first hand.
  • They experience the level of care first hand.
  • They benefit from–or can be damaged by–the skill level of the broker.

Client testimonials are huge. They are gold. Platinum.

If you receive an online referral to a REALTOR, whether you are a referring agent or a consumer, you might want to ask the referring agent, “Have you actually worked with this agent?” “Do you know any of the clients this agent has served?” “Can I talk to any of them?”

The agent should be able to provide at least 3 CONSUMER contacts that, on the fly, you could drop a line and get an accurate picture of what to expect from them.

This week I will be updating my client testimonials. And if you would like to meet some of my clients, I’ll hook you up.

That’s how people will know for sure that I’m doing a good job . . .

You May Have More Purchasing Power Than You Think!

March 24, 2010 By Leave a Comment

A nice lady I talked to yesterday who is super excited about buying her first home made me smile when she exclaimed:

“If you can buy now, you’d be crazy not to. They’re practically giving away houses out here!”

(I asked her if she wanted to get a real estate license and come work for me) :)

And in our Bullhead City, Fort Mohave, Mohave Valley housing market, indeed, prices have not been this good in many years.

A lot of people who would love to buy a home in Bullhead City, AZ but don’t think they could qualify actually may not realize their purchasing power.

They think that because they couldn’t buy a car or get a Wal-Mart card, they couldn’t in a million years qualify for financing.

Some are told that because they don’t have a high FICO score, they can’t qualify.

But sometimes, that is not the case.

If you get a great lender to work with you in building your credit score via alternative credit sources like cellphone bills, car insurance payments, utility bills, even rent history, those items CAN be submitted for consideration.

I just heard from my favorite lender that one of my clients–who was turned down or ignored by 3 other loan pros–got a commitment letter with NO FICO SCORE — no bad credit, just no credit at all. She’s paid cash for everything for years and has been renting in a utilities-paid apartment! They worked together to provide information to the underwriter that demonstrates a history of on-time payments.

They had to resubmit 3 times–but as they say, the third time was the charm.

Of course, you can’t just show up and get credit without stable income. And you will need to have some cash for a down payment.

Still, with a loan professional who is willing to work with you, it is doable.

We know the good loan resources in Bullhead City, Fort Mohave and Mohave Valley, AZ. Talk to us and I’ll pass their info along . . . in English or Spanish!

The Homebuyer’s Tax Credit in place now requires that you be under contract by April 30, so you still have time to take advantage of that if you move fast!
