  • Yo Nick...Kris Berg's
    By Mark OwensJanuary 7, 2009 - 2:12pm

    Yo Nick...Kris Berg's Article was outstanding. The market during the boom was THE MARKET!!! The Market is the Market is the Market is the Market. The agents obligation is to get the buyer into the home at Market Value. If there are multiple competing offers, obviously market value was higher than asking price. Plus, The bank is going to say if it is worth it or not. Its easy to look back and say woops, but at the time the euphoria was what it was. Realistically speaking if you made a living selling homes back in 2004 and 2005 I can't imagine you were running around telling your buyers..."Don't buy that one..Don't buy that one ...Don't buy that one ...Don't buy that one ...Don't buy that one...Gee how many homes would you have sold?

  • Just walked into our 30,000

    Just walked into our 30,000 square foot dinosaur of bricks, glass, and granite. I'm stolling through our plush waiting room with leather chairs and flat panel big screen TV. Just passed our 8 professionally decorated conference rooms all eqipped with computers and oversized screens. There are over 60 private offices here so it takes a while to get around. My coffee is a little cold so I need to decide which of the THREE full service kitchens I should use to go Nuke my coffee. I am in a hurry because we are having a nationally recognized guest speaker in our state of the art 150-seat education/multi media center. You know, I'm not sure how long this "tombstone monument of the past" will survive...But it seems it would be a shame to pull the plug while we still set the standard in annual charitable contributions to the community and we have won the "real estate category" Consumers Choice award for many years running. This dinosaur also continues to grow and thrive in our region. We lead in the categories of transaction per agent,market share, and profitability, I guess I'll stay with this T-REX a little longer...
