WXYZ Picks Up Interview With Our Buyer's Broker Jon Boyd

A journalist for Bankrate.com interviewed our broker Jon Boyd some months back for an article he had been working on regarding home purchase language.

In particular, the focus was things seller's real estate people will say with reference to their listings to try to grab the interest of home buying consumers. Hint: They are not always true.

These phrases were collected from our nationwide organization (naeba.org) and the are totally real.

Here is what you want to think about:

If a real estate agent routinely directs expressions like these to buyers, why would you ever want somebody like at being your buyer's agent or designated buyer's agent?

Just a idea to ponder as you look at Belleville real estate.

Here is the article.

Flamingos invade!

I'm at an inspection today and one of the neighbors has about a dozen
flamingos.

I remember 20+ years ago when I had a flamingo in my yard on West
Madison.

Bad electrical work

I'm out at an inspection today and it isn't a big deal, but this looks
like some typical homeowner wiring.

At least the actual joints are in wirenuts. It would have been a lot
worse if the had just been wrapped together and then electrial taped.

However any electrical joints like this should have been put in an
electrical box.

The Country's Two Largest Builders Will Merge

Pulte and Centex, the two largest builders in the country, have decided to merge.

Both builders have been active in this area. Centex built a big development on the North side. I think we helped one buyer purchase there.

This economic thing is really creating some unusual mergers.

If you would like a real estate company to help you buy a Belleville home and actually be on your side, call us.

On an inspection - amazing gutter screen

I'm at an inspection now and neither the inspector nor I have ever
seen a gutter leaf screen like this. It feels like a fabric over a
grill over the gutter.

Blogged from my iPhone.

Back to life after trying a different webhost

We are back to our original web hosting company for this blog.

We tried a different one, and it worked from November to December, then it died.

Hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
