Here is today’s list of top real estate posts of the day.
1) Ten Questions to Ask Yourself Every Month – Did you join me in making a great business plan last November for 2010, and have not looked at it since January 5th? If so this method may be a better way to keep on schedule.
2) On Admin Fees and “Commission” – Kristin LaVanway and I were just talking about this a few days ago. We came to the same conclusion that brokers should not be charging an administration fee on top of commission. But interestingly Jonathan finds a court case which may make it illegal to do so.
3) Indexing on Top of Google…the Easy Way! – Want to be on the top of Google? The local business center may be the answer.
4) What happens after the tax credits? – Check out the results of the unscientific poll here. According to the poll results the sky is falling.
5) MOVE puts on the white hat. – Ok Greg you peaked my interest for sure. Anyone know of any online demos for this? I would love to see it and write about it if you do.
6) “Walking away” is the new divorce –I love the metaphor, walking away from a loan used to be taboo, much like divorce. But times change.
7) Existing Home Sales – Down Or Up? – Matt does a good job at taking a set of numbers and showing how it could be bad news or good news depending on which way you wanted to look at it.
8) Homeowner Estimates as Good as Zillow? Appraisal Academics Think So – Zillow estimates are horrible if you are trying to figure out how much a to list a house for, but Zillow even admits they are not perfect and they are intended to be a rough estimate of a value in an area.
9) Have a Question About Your Home or Zestimate? Check Out Zillow FAQs – Zillow comes right back and defends themselves with this post and again stresses they are only a starting point. But I have yet to talk to a home owner or buyer who understands that.
10) A Real Estate And Mortgage Technology Conference You’ll Want To Attend – They have a world class speaking group in Atlanta this year. If anyone wants to chip in some airfare I will gladly wear their t-shirt the whole time I am there ;-)
