A few blogs posts from my past

October 22, 2007 by

I originally posted this back in July on the Active Rain Real Estate Network. At that time I was pretty excited about becoming an ABR and SRES instructor. I wrote the post and inserted lots of links that take you to other articles I’ve written. It’s sort of like a journal and a passage of sorts. I look back at some my early blog posts and cringe a bit…but hey that’s me…my words and my feelings.

I’m off teaching NHAR’s Quick Start program for the next two days and then Jay and I are driving to Pennsylvania for the Penn State/Ohio State game. Plus the RedSox are going to the world series! What a weekend it will be for us!

See you next week!

It’s Offical I’m an ABR and SRES Instructor!

July 2007

As some of you know I’ve been working my way through the instructor certification process required by REBAC to become an ABR and SRES instructor.

It took a while but I have completed both the required one day course in DC and the two day course in St Louis and the dreaded tests.

Thankfully I passed both tests and now I’m finally “certified”…YIPPEE!

Caution…Can’t be a Designated Agent yet

October 17, 2007 by

But we’re getting closer…

Today with a standing room only crowd the New Hampshire Association of REALTORS board of directors voted to pass the recommended proposed Designated Agency legislation with some added language presented by the Exclusive Buyer agents. The language added appears in Italics below.

XII. Dual agency does not occur in firms that represent buyers only who have appointed designated buyers’ agents, or firms that represent sellers only who have appointed designated sellers’ agents within the firm.

It passed with hardly a whimper as a jammed room of state directors and visitors alike listened to a brief presentation and then cast a vote.

They cast a vote for all of us today and most importantly for the public. The consumer will finally, if this passes through legislation, get the representation they deserve!

How sweet it will be!

Caution…You Can Not act as a Designated Agent yet….If and I do mean If we get through the legislation process we’re looking at maybe 2009 before it becomes law! So Please don’t think you can do it now!

I’ll keep you updated as we go along. Feel free to post a comment or a question and I’ll do my best to get you the answer.

So you think you’re alone now…

October 14, 2007 by

But are you really?

Sometimes I hear stories that just leave me wondering.

A listing agent met a Co-broker and her clients at her listing to do a showing. During the showing it was readily apparent that the home did not meet the buyers needs.

While standing in the kitchen talking about the home the listing agent mentioned another listing that she had just listed. One that she thought would better suit the buyers.The home was in excellent condition was priced competitively and had everything the buyers seemed to be looking for. She suggested that they go take a look at it as it was easy to show.

FAQ on the NEW Agency / Non-Agency Disclosure Form

October 4, 2007 by

Attention NH Real Estate Agents…Important Information!

FAQ on the NEW Agency / Non-Agency Disclosure Form

As many of you know, recently the New Hampshire Real Estate Commission made changes to their Rules and Regulations. These rules went into affect on May 1 2007.

Are you using the new form? Do you understand how to use the new form?

They updated the 1. Listing agreements, you click here to see the changes>>>Listing agreement changes

2. Buyer Agency agreements>>>Buyer Agency Contract

3. Dual Agency Consent agreement>>>Dual Agency

The changes are an attempt to bring the Rules in line with the Law and the way we practice Agency in New Hampshire.

The commission also required that we ALL use only ONE agency disclosure form. One that the commission created and has approved.
