February 08, 2021 00:00 VideoNate’s Monday Morning MessageVolume 1,046 Welcome to this week’s Monday Morning Message! This week I want to write about life – not life in general but life in the physical form; a human being living. I have come to realize that many of us, myself included we take for granted the unique and utterly amazing possibility of what it means to be alive. We take for granted the fact that to be alive is a rare, precious gift – a privilege that is denied to so many. We blow off the scientific proof...

Today I want to write about time and more importantly time management – for years we have focused on managing time, to only realize that we can’t actually manage time. Every day the sun comes up and goes down leaving us with a mere twenty-four hours in the day to live a life on purpose. What can we do instead to be effecti...

On top of the fact, I haven’t felt a hundred percent, which led my mind to think the worst – could it be Covid-19? Its funny how the mind can go straight to the worst-case scenario! I am not trying to make any excuses; howev...

What Are Interest Rates Like Right Now?
July 02, 2020 15:39 VideoInterest rates are vital in real estate. Here’s why. Interest rate fluctuations are always a necessary topic in real estate. In June, interest rates reached the low to mid-threes, but in June of last year, they were still up around 4.5%. This April, interest rates were the lowest they’ve been in 30 years at 3.5%. One of our lenders recently quoted rates as low as 2.5% on a 30-year fixed mortgage. For comparison, when I bought my first house about 40 years ago, I paid approximately an 11%...

How to Show Homes During and Post-Lockdown
June 18, 2020 15:25 VideoThis is how we show homes during and after lockdown. Lockdowns are easing, but the coronavirus is still making people sick, so how can you show listings during and post-lockdown? When the pandemic hit the U.S., we stepped up our marketing game. For higher-end homes, we hire professional photographers who take daylight, evening, and sunset photos. We wanted to give people the option of walking through a house without physically being there, and make them feel comfortable. As an example o...

Is Our Market a Roaring River or a Humble Stream?
May 15, 2020 16:11 VideoOur market is a river, and we have no choice but to go with the flow. I often like to look at the real estate market as a flowing river. There will always be a current, but sometimes that current is moving slowly like a stream and other times it’s roaring quickly. Coming into January, February, and mid-March, the market was absolutely on fire, with most homes under $350,000 generating multiple offers. Inventory was coming off of the market almost as quickly as it was coming on, and 2020 ...
