The Effect of Great Marketing ? And Good Pricing
From The Housechick Blog - Everything, Yesterday, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I have this listing that I sold in 31 days in an area where the average market time is 145 days. I’m pretty proud of that one. I was very careful in my marketing approach – that could have been a very difficult home to sell. So I picked an approach, made a cohesive plan, and then marketed the crap out of it.
And it worked. We got a great price on it, and it sold quickly.
But there’s only so much that my marketing can do. If my seller had listed...

Transportation Costs based on where you live in Tucson
From The Housechick Blog - Everything, 5 days ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
The Center for Neighborhood Technology – a group that promotes urban sustainability – just released a tool that can help you discover what your transportation costs might be in a given neighborhood. It’s called Abogo. Click on the Abogo link and type in your address, and the site spits out transportation costs for that area plus the CO2 impact for the area as well.
They use regional averages from the Housing and Transportation Affordability Index to determine...

Five Guys Comes to Tucson
From The Housechick Blog - Everything, 5 days ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Look what I spotted!
That’s the old Hollywood Video at the Northeast corner of Campbell and Glenn being turned into a Five Guys! The first Five Guys in Tucson. I assume the potty will be replaced with one inside, um, eventually.
Five Guys is a delicious burger joint that I’ve only run into on the East coast, which makes sense given the original location was in Arlington, VA, and branched out from there. It’s not fancy – the menu is basically...

How's the Luxury Tucson Home Market'
From The Housechick Blog - Everything, 2 weeks ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I showed this enormous home yesterday up in the Tucson foothills. I mean, HUGE. At some point, it just gets silly. When you approach 10,000 square feet with an indoor pool, well, I think you’ve reached that point. But then again, I’m not a house-as-status-symbol kind of gal. Other people have the funds to do that kind of thing, so more power to them.
This particular home is around $900k and is bank owned. My client and I were touring the house and...

It'll Be All Right
From The Housechick Blog - Everything, 3 weeks ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I was interviewing for a listing the other day, and as we chatted, I mentioned that I don’t do dual agency as a Realtor – I won’t represent both buyer and seller on the same transaction. The home owner was surprised – out of the 4-5 agents he had interviewed, I was the only one who said I didn’t do that. The other agents got to that part and somehow said dual agency would be okay, that “it would all be all right.”
Yeah. It’s not...

Dogs and Homeowner Associations
From The Housechick Blog - Everything, 4 weeks ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I love dogs. Especially big dogs. Unfortunately, big dogs and Homeowner Associations don’t always mix.
Especially those condo and townhouse homeowner associations.
It’s fairly common to find pet restrictions in HOA governing documents. If you’ve got a large dog – say 50 pounds or more, you need to make especially sure you’re reading through those association documents carefully. Often, the HOA will limit you to a certain number of pets, or...
