All small businesses have fixed costs ranging from rent to utilities to office supplies. For real estate agents and REALTORS®, there is the added business cost of dues. REALTORS® may have to pay more dues than real estate agents because of the affiliations with the local REALTOR®, State and National Association of REALTORS®. Additionally, if an agent wants to belong to more than one real estate association depending upon the policies and procedures of that second association, the brokerage for that agent may also have to join the agent. Another due is an annual payment for a device to store keys for access to residential properties or even fully fenced in vacant land with outbuildings.  Here in Mohave County, one of these firms is SUPRA.Both REALTORS® and Real estate agents are able to ...

Do you feel at times that you just need to GET AWAY without really going anywhere? This thought was inspired by this sign I saw at Hobby Lobby.No, this statement is not word salad? Think about it. Do you feel like you need to ESCAPE/GET AWAY occasionally from the duties and chores of your main house to the refuge of your own MAN CAVE attached to your home? After all Men need to fix things, compete in Sports (or watch them on big screeen at minimum), play with their cars and toys...right? Where do you do that stuff....well in your MAN CAVE! Hey some men may have been talked into living in a cute little condo without even a garage, but a carport. Oh, no! Men need their own land and their own garage don't they? Many MEN really need a Phoenix metro home with a MAN CAVE. Are you looking for ...

Do you ever wonder about that piece of luggage on the airport carousel that is going around and around all by itself late at night? (Suitcase: Gregory Roose, Pixabay)Your suitcase was lost on arrival , where did it go? Is it happy? (Luggage Carousel by Hans, Pixabay)That's the suitcase that has been circling the globe for the past 25 years with my yellow "walkman", my "old spice" after shave and my year 2000 new year resolutions in it. If you find it please let me know.However, I am not losing sleep over it. How does this relate to real estate you may ask? Well it is sort of a like a real estate transaction that did not close due to some unexpected events (home inspection, divorce, job change, flood etc). There are some that even the best REALTOR® my lose. Same with the suitcase. It is ...

Lately, I've heard some buyers comment about waiting to buy a home until after the election.  This got me to thinking, what is behind buyer's decisions to buy a home?  Can an election affect the housing market?  It seems to have put buyers on hold.  If that happens, how does THAT affect the housing market?  Many questions - let's come up with some answers.  Some buyers may be thinking that waiting until after the election is a wise move.  But wait, aren't others thinking this way?  What if those buyers are all waiting, sitting on the fence until after the election?   Doesn't that create an even longer list of buyers waiting to buy?  In my humble opinion, yes.  But let's see what others are saying?   Reading research by John Burns Research and Consulting seemed like a wise homework assig...

Every day I read another sales expert, marketing expert, real estate expert, touting the praises of Artificial Intelligence hereafter called AI. Here on Active Rain, there are Active Rain members using AI to generate their comments to blog postings. Usually after the second comment, a receiver of those comments doesn’t have to be very astute to know AI is writing the comment not the actual Active Rain members.The “A” in AI does not refer to being authentic or authenticity, but rather Artificial. What does it mean to be authentic? We can travel back in time to the Greek Language and learn authentic comes from “authentikos” meaning original, genuine and principal.Then what does it mean to be artificial? Again, a time travel is required and one learns the earliest use of the word was for t...

 You have always had the opportunity to not hire a professional when buying or selling a home, that didn’t change recently, this has been the way all along.So why so much talk about it now?   You can do your own taxes, you don’t need a CPA, but you will lose money you didn’t know you lost.You can book your own trips, you don’t need a travel agent, but you will lose out on special deals and promotions that you never knew about.You can represent yourself in court, you don’t need an attorney, but you will not have the experience or knowledge of how the system works like a pro would.  The outcome could be different but you won’t ever know because you thought you knew everything.You can be invest in stocks on your own, you don’t need a financial advisor, but you lose out on the 40 hours a we...
