Is the Price Right for you to buy or sell that home of yours?  

Drew Carey knows The Price Is Right.  Where in the world is Drew Carey when you need him?  Tell us Drew, what to do?

He's a true handy man in the career sense.  He's had a hand in lots of different sorts of honey pots. Maybe not a colligiate fellow, but Real Estate licensing isn't higher institutionalized - don't worry.  Marine, Game Show Host, Stand-Up Comedian, Press Photographer for Soccer, Denny's host (maybe?), a bank teller in Vegas and let's imagine him now in his retirement phase going on the housing market waves instead of the air waves.....

Drew Carey has a background in the U.S. Marine Corps-- 6 years experience.  "SELL YOUR HOUSE! No, not 1,000,000...999,999! Okay, give me 999,950."  He'll compromise, but you do the work and he works on looking fly. 

Drew Carey could probably draw the house and carry your boxes for you, too.  It's common intuition that what you speak comes into existence. What if Drew Barrymore slowly turns her daughter into an Apple?  How is Fiona doing?  Drew Carey, your wide audiences may have turned you into a real estate agent with a name like yours. Drew, stop trying to put that ad in the funnies.

Whose bottom Line is it anyway?  Drew Carey is used to hosting and catering to men and women acting afool.  If Mr. Carey could have I think he'd have taken the house, err horse-play even further.  Have you seen his stand-up? 

He's worked as a photographer for soccer.  The things in your house can sit still right?  Money is on Drew for capturing the best pics of your house.  Ohh, well, it was funny of him to pull the underwear out of your top drawer, click, put it on Zillow.  Zestimate says you'll get more for your home if Drew uses his background in stand-up to sell your home.  He's a bit pent up after being thumbed under ABC for the Drew Carey Show.  Buying?  He can laugh any home owner right out of their shorts, so of course, home too.

He doesn't actually need those glasses.  

He doesn't actually also sell houses - not rent-to-own, or own-to-rent, or not even sometimes showing houses in all those nine years of Drew Carey show (if you are more devout Mr. Carey fan and know better, sound off in the comments. Especially if he has in fact helped you buy, sell or rent a home).

Please Don't Do That DIY If You Want To Sell Your House

DIY - Dooming It Yourself 

These parental friends and their six children are stuck at grandma's house, climbing the walls because they made this classic mistake.  Some prior owners did this DIY project: build a garage/barn/man cave.  Oops, they didn't have the barn built to code, because it was DIY and they did not know!  So now the housing renovations are on hold.  The walls at Grandma's are going to need a renovation afterwards.  DIY turned into DIAY - Do It ALL Yourself.  The Dad of 6 small ones spends nights these days after work making drawings by hand of the barn he did not build in order to prove to the proper officals: the thing is standing, now let me build a livable ark for my tribe.  That's a true story - Housing Market 2016.

Listen to Grandma, not your Grandma, someone else's Grandma: 4 Simple Words of Advice Before You Buy a Home. 

If you are watching better homes and garden for noise and reading Real Simple in the grocery line and Pinteresting in your bed on your board: NEW HOME IDEAS - Pinterest has real estate resources, for sure! - you might think you CAN in fact work on your own house, save money, earn more money, have fun, uh no.  Not for most.  Murphy's Law!  Anything that can go wrong will. 

It can seem like free labor (your labor after hours) will be a profitable situation.  In economics there is no such thing as a free lunch and let me tell you, there is no such thing as a free DIY.  Have you ever spent $20 at Michael's just to hand make Christmas Cards.  It was $6.99 for that box of 10 cards, which seemed over priced.  Now you have $20/200 cards, but you only needed to send 20.  In a market economy it's best to have specialization - DWYDB - Do What You Do Best. 

DIY people are special ducks.  They are almost hoarders of the Work-Cost-Transfer Law, which became a thing just now, right here, as a sub-set under Murphy's Law.  What you save here, will pop up as cost later on.  It's that American version of Karma; what comes around goes around.  If you are that odd duck, at least get the home inspected to save yourself that feather rustling down the line. 

Money is time, time is Money.  Math is right, and art is left over.  Your home needs to sell, probably you'd prefer for as much as it can as soon as it can.  Let's DIY on something you can enjoy, once you are in your new home, shall we? 

Stop wasting your time and Sell That House!

Why the Baby Boomer Generation Is Still Booming in the Real Estate Market

It's true, believe it or not. We're guessing the real estate market is still so vibrant as mentioned here that even baby boomers from back in the '80s and '90s are still very much active when it comes to home buying. And they should be. Prospects are good. Why not take advantage of it?

There Are Four Aspects of This Market for Baby Boomers to Keep in Mind, Though

It's not just about your age. Or the fact that you have a big salary with a career you've held down for a decade or more. Rather these bits can prove that you are, in fact, a baby boomer booming in the real estate market:

• Mortgage Financing -- You'd be surprised to see that baby boomers actually have the same kind of challenges that even millennials have. Read this.
• Buyer Characteristics -- This piece will blow your mind as to what really makes a baby boomer in today's real estate market.
• House Hunting Styles -- What makes a baby boomer tick when trying to find a new home? These stats may be eye-opening.
• When Selling a Home -- The question of why a baby boomer's selling (and consequently buying or renting even) is crucial to ask. What's the answer? Click here.

Just by these facts, you can tell that age isn't necessarily what makes a baby boomer.

There's so Much More to It Than That

While the term "baby boomer" represents a higher birth rate of kids sprouting out like fish eggs and an explosion of opportunities both on the job side as well as the business side, there's no doubt that being a baby boomer in the real estate market means that much more. They may be an older generation -- but they certainly still act young. Learn more about the other home buyer demographics as well right here!

Either way we look at it, that's great for the real estate market.

Why Being a Blog Writer Can Make You a Great Home Seller

This is great fear of many real estate agents -- and brokers. The idea that you have to write. And not just poetry, or anything like that, or even a mega-novel! No. The idea of writing a blog is like slitting your throat. Do you have the time to do that as a home seller? No. You're too busy marketing and showing homes. You do not have the time as a home seller to sit in your bed or chair, with your laptop, writing on your Wordpress, Blogger, Tumblr, or even Facebook about your experiences, or thoughts, especially regarding the real estate industry. Right?

I Need to Make This Clear: Get With the Program and Start Writing

Blogging is essential to real estate when you think about it. It's all about networking. We're already pretty keen on the idea of social media being a hit with the real estate market, so it makes sense to think that the bread and butter of the digital atmosphere that is blogging would lay that foundation and build your audience better than any open house.

Get. Your. Wordpress. On. Start writing. Right now. It'll only help your real estate business.

Think of It This Way, People: How Else Are Prospective Buyers Going to Learn About You?

When selling through social media, you have to realize that it's not just the technology, or even the home itself, making the sale. You are as well. You're the secret weapon. You're the closer. You're the one making sure the buyer follows through on the purchase. After all, you can catch the fish on the hook, but only you can reel it in.

So be prolific with your blogging. Through the content you build, you can syndicate it through Twitter, through Facebook, through LinkedIn -- through the entire World Wide Web. And before you know it, you're known not only in the industry, but with buyers in your area. Go hyperlocal. Get in depth. Stick to the news. Of course relate to your reader with your own thoughts about anything going on in your life, because that personalizes the marketing aspect to great effect. But the important thing is to just write. And write with your own personal voice.

You'll Find That You'll Nab Many Buyers That Way

That's actually Sales 101 when you think about it: connecting to the customer in a personal way. There's no better way to do that than blogging (or "blog writing"). And the real estate, you can bet your bread and butter on it, will benefit from it greatly.
