For real estate agents, their name is the basis of their reputation. It is how the community recognizes their business. Often, their name is the centerpiece to their brand. A REALTOR's success can actually be determined by whether or not potential clients know their name. When something tarnishes that name, it can have a serious impact on that agent’s reputation. When it happens to an agent through no fault of their own, it’s downright heartbreaking.

The Question I Most Often Get

I answer these inquiries and showing requests daily, and love it! The inquiries range from the simplest questions to more in depth about particular properties. It often amazes me what buyers think of when purchasing a house, even after doing this for a number of years. We also receive inquiries from all over the globe, as we often have relocation clients.
One such inquiry came in recently. A gentleman had particular interest in a home on Como Lake in St. Paul. He wanted detailed information on the listing, as well as the most recent asking price. I happily sent…

Worker, Homeownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009
Good news...the "first-time buyer credit", as many call it, has been extended and modified! The new law extends the deadline for purchasing a home and includes current homeowners. It also raises the income limitations for those eligible for the credit.
