Wayback Wednesday… Don’t Hide in the Sand…
A couple of years ago I wrote about folks facing foreclosure. I would love to say that things have really changed in the last couple of years, but I can’t… They have actually gotten worse in many regards.

Last year I was on a little kick about Zillow. I should mention that I know David Gibbons, their Social Media dude… and he is a great guy. I don’t have a beef with the company, and think they actually did something pretty cool…
But…

Flashback Friday… Valuation?
There are a lot of questions that revolve around property valuation. Sellers want to know how much their homes are worth and Buyers want to know the ‘right’ price to pay. Specifically, Sellers don’t want to leave money on the table, and buyers don’t want to put too much money on the table for the Sellers to take.
There are a lot of ways to try to figure out what a house is worth, and a lot of people that can provide opinions about that… And they are just that, opinions.
Except for one… There is one indisputable market valuation metric.

I have just struck a deal with The Video Connector to provide video content for my sites. Look for lots of cool videos from Tara and TJ from Reel Productions. They have been the providers of my video tours for a couple of years now, and really have a handle on the real estate market. Enjoy.
