Congratulations

 

Congratulations to  Beth, Craig,  Paul, Tom & Luann,  Chris & Bill, Duane &  Amy,  Matt & Heather, Mike and BCR Properties on your smooth spring and summer closings.  It was my pleasure to be your advocate throughout  buying and selling process. I love my job and all the wonderful people I meet along the way!

 

Testimonials

 Simply put, anyone who knows Nancy loves her. She puts all her energy and charming personality into everything she does.. especially selling real estate. I should know, Nancy sold my house in a ridiculously short period of time.

Nancy managed to clear obstacles and put up with last minute changes that would have frustrated any other realtor. To top it off, she did it with a can-do attitude.

I can whole-heartedly recommend Nancy Maas to be your next realtor. You won't be disappointed.

--------------

We highly recommend Nancy for the sale of your house.  She is an accomplished realtor with high energy, market savvy, and effective communicator, and a lot of knowledge to stage and present your house in the best possible way. Three weeks to list and tree and half weeks to sell our house.  She did a great job.

Summer is historically an exciting time for real estate and this summer is proving to be no different.   Mortgage rates are at fantastic lows. Home prices are still low but are starting to rise just like the temperature. Now is a great time to buy and sell a home!

 

If you're looking for that great opportunity, July is the perfect time to see what's available in the real estate market.   If you or someone you know are thinking of buying or selling, give me a call.

Traditional 'rules' of homebuying return

 

Buyers can balance the bargain hunt with realistic expectations.

By Rachel Koning Beals of U.S. News & World Report

 

Depending on the location, house hunters may find themselves in a strange, transitional real-estate market that's emerging from historic lows.

 

Does the buyer have an advantage? Yes, in many areas, that's still the case.  

 

But buyers have guidelines for success in this type of market, too. They need to show that they're serious if they hope to secure their dream house amid stiff deal-sniffing buyer competition or sellers so frustrated they may be willing to hold out for a stronger market turnaround. Professionalism and realistic expectations can go a long way toward ensuring a smooth and timely closing transaction, which is important to buyers and sellers alike.

Timing the Market: 5 Signs It's the Right Time to Buy or Sell

By Tara-Nicholle Nelson

 

I've long marveled at how the prospect of buying or selling a home can transform the most patient poetry professor or the sweetest Sunday school teacher into a fast-talking, number-crunching, negotiator extraordinaire. Or, rather, it can make these sorts of people *think* they need to talk and act like wheeler-dealers! In my experience, this mostly involves ranting about "leaving money on the table" while they secretly quiver with the fear of making a mistake!

But offers and negotiations aren't the only real estate decisions that make people think they should be more strategic than they are legitimately equipped to be. Many buyers and sellers believe they should know precisely how to time the market to buy at the bottom and sell at the top, despite the facts that:
