Diane's Latest Strategy Helps Sell Homes Fast
December 12, 2019 22:45 VideoHappy Holidays, raving fans! Today, let’s cover the topic of coming-soon listings and how they can boost the outcome of your home sale. It’s so important that your home gets listed on a coming-soon listing site, even if you’re selling your house in the spring. Recently, though, the board of the National Association of Realtors has decided that they’ll only allow people to put their homes on the market 21 days before—on any site. So, we cannot put listings on our website or any coming-soon...
Should Sellers List Now or Wait Until Spring?
November 27, 2019 16:01 VideoIf you’re thinking of waiting until spring to list, the statistics say this is a bad idea. Before I delve into your November market report, I want to say I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. This is the time of year that we reflect on the things we are grateful for, and my team and I are grateful for you. Something interesting has been happening in our market lately. As I’ve said before, the increase in home sales has been causing appreciation to slow down. More homes means buyers have a...
Why Are Your Home’s Photos so Important When Selling It?
November 15, 2019 00:00 VideoAre you thinking about listing your home without having professional photos of it first? As you’ll see, that can be a big mistake.

Your October 2019 Real Estate Market Update
October 29, 2019 17:28 VideoHello, raving fans! I’m back with your hot-off-the-press market report for the month of October. Remember how last month I told you that home price appreciation would slow down and become more normalized? Well, at least throughout the lower-middle price ranges in the market, it looks as though we might be drifting back toward a seller’s market where price appreciation will reaccelerate. According to CoreLogic, home prices went up by 3.6% over the last 12 months. At 0:40 in the video above...

Your August 2019 Real Estate Market Update
August 27, 2019 19:55 VideoHello, raving fans! I’m back with your market update, as well as a message about the rumors of an impending recession. Stay tuned! I don’t know about you, but every time I turn on the TV these days, I want to throw something at it. All this talk of recession, all the fake news created by the media, and all the news about a recession from pundits aren’t based on facts or real conditions. Rather, it’s based on a belief that by predicting a recession, they can create one and thus set the stag...

What Does the Possibility of a Looming Recession Mean for Our Market?
May 23, 2019 15:56 VideoDespite a potential recession on the horizon, homebuyers don’t seem to be dissuaded from entering our market. Today’s topic is one I’ve been talking about for over a year and a half, and it’s something that will start creating major headlines in the mainstream media: a possible recession on the horizon. According to four prominent surveys (the first of which was conducted by The Wall Street Journal) of economists who believed that a recession was going to happen soon, 22% thought it would...

March 28, 2019 17:08 VideoIgnore the negative news headlines—today we’ll talk about what’s really happening in the market.
