Once again, I have to thank my staff who brought a selling technique to my attention that I haven't heard about in years. A technique that was commonly referred to as a "reverse offer" is in the news again. This is an aggressive technique used when sellers present buyers with an offer to purchase the sellers' property---instead of vice versa. And although it's more common for builders to
Now celebrated in many countries throughout the world, Earth Day advocates awareness and appreciation of our natural environment. I remember how excited I was when this day was set aside in 1970 to remind us to "watch over" our precious natural resources, and to teach and promote natural, clean, and healthy ways to use these resources---without destroying the environment. And this Friday,
It's interesting to see how builders' incentives to prospective buyers are changing. In previous blogs, I wrote about builders offering flat-screened TVs, new microwaves---and even a free car to entice buyers to purchase homes. And their incentives continued to "grow" as the housing market declined---free upgrades, free trips, and prices slashed even further. I just read an article in the

Builders can't seem to get a break. Those who managed to weather the economic storm so far are coming under fire again---according to a recent article in The New York Times.

As you know, I am a big fan of win-win situations and try to structure every one of my offers so that everyone walks away a winner.
With the slowdown of the home construction industry, builders are stuck with inventories of vacant homes, land, or both, and no qualified buyers.
Rather then just offering incentives like a new microwave (or, as we talked about a few months ago, a new car),

Builders are offering more incentives than ever to buyers purchasing new homes. I read earlier this week that Pulte Homes is offering a $7,500 rebate to new home buyers. And they are not the only ones. Other builders are offering plasma TV's, upgraded appliances, memberships to country clubs or golf courses, cash rebates, and, the biggest one I've heard of---a new car---are just some of the
