My New Mobile Real Estate Search App


I have a new mobile real estate search app that I'd like to invite you dowload and try. It will be a helpful tool for buyers and sellers alike. Helping buyers get access to information on the go helps everyone. This app lets you search by GPS, map, address, property type, and more. You can then view results on a map or in a sortable list. If you're interested in a property, you can then look at the details right on your phone. Another great feature is that you can look for nearby open houses while out driving around, which could help you find a house you didn't know was there or help you save time by planning your open visits by their proximity to each other.

If this sounds like something you're interested in, click on the link below for download instructions.

21 Offers on an Investment Property and we got the contract

What an exciting Real Estate market in Montgomery County, Maryland.  Properties are selling quickly again and with multiple offers.  I wrote an offer yesterday on an investment property.  The buyer really wanted the property so I advised him to put in an escalation clause for $100 above highest offer and cap it off to where he wouldn't care if he lost it above that price, which is what we did.   We got it.  He's so happy.  He's going to put some work into the property, make it good and turn around and put it back on the market.  Making it even better than it is now. 

The market is good and there are still a lot of deals to be made.   He's putting money back in our economy.  I think once Real Estate picks up everywhere, things will be positive. 

I love negotiating to get my clients what they want. It's awesome.
