Realtrend’s criteria for a kick-hiney real estate website includes “best design.” In fact, they’re looking for “show-stopping websites.” Not the “best-designed website to increase organic SEO.” Not the “best-designed to capture leads.” Nope. It’s the prettiness factor that proves a real estate website builder “… has what it takes.” We beg to differ with them. Pretty is as pretty does and the “best” real estate websites actually work for their agent-owners. They…

Fill out my online form I finally ventured out into the world last week, mask firmly in place, to visit one of my favorite home goods stores. As I write this in September, it was a bit surprising to find that store personnel had entirely cleaned out the massive garden area and employees were busily filling it with winter holiday décor.

After multiple showings, in a very hot sellers’ market, the home still didn’t have an offer. Feedback from buyers’ agents give us an indication of why buyers were hesitant to make an offer. Although they “loved the house,” most of the agents said, the nearby railroad tracks were a turnoff. Lenore was flabbergasted. Yes, there are Union Pacific freight tracks nearby, but they are located far enough away that in 6 years of living in the home she’d only heard a train…
