Spring fun Idea!
I thought how cute this metal hanging backdrop was and then upon further examination, it was 2-3 rubber welcome mats! There are fresh ideas out there for making your home look great! This was one I saw while showing homes and just had to snap a photo!

I am "Goldie Hawn Happy!"
Happiness is doing what you love to do! So, how many of us truly go after what makes you happy? Do you float along and catch the next wave to see where you wash ashore? Goldie does! She makes me laugh, honestly, she does. Her story of how she drove across the country from Maryland with her right door flying open when she turned left made me laugh out loud.
I thought about how I got into the Real Estate business today. I opened up the Columbus Dispatch and called Craig Barone who was interviewing new agents. I went back to school for my license after meeting with him so I really was free spirited back in the day! If you want to be happy, follow your dreams..sometimes that means making a change. If you think you have always loved homes and watch "Househunters" maybe it is time to meet with us and see if a career in Real Estate would make you happy! It would be really hard to be "Goldie Hawn Happy", but if you love what you do, I will take that any day!

Happy Mother's Day Weekend!
As many of you know, we hold this holiday near and dear to our hearts. No open houses, and no showings for this beautiful day. There is no other job in the world that is better than being a Mom! Here is a photo of my Mom at her prom! Enjoy your weekend...I am going to squeeze all of my weekend work into today! 4 different buyers, one listing appointment and scheduled in the office this morning.
I think I may just add the Columbus Marathon to my day! But, since I have missed the starting line up that will not work! lol Since I mentioned that, I must say good luck to our two racers: Jessica Pramik and Elizabeth Connolley! I am very proud of my office and their commitment to being fit!

Multiple Offer Situations in a Changing Market
Recently we had 3 properties receive multiple offers. For us, it has been an "awakening" and very welcome after a long winter's nap. When you are representing the buyer, make it clear what needs to be done in order to be the "winner" without "losing it". It is a two edged sword but if you make it clear what could happen, and let them know they could lose their dream home, it takes the decision making process into another level of stress.
The agent should provide comparables immediately to the buyer but also make sure that they have submitted an offer in writing as soon as possible to make sure that their offer makes it to the seller's table before another offer is accepted. You will never know what the other offer is unless you request it in writing.
Multiple offers are hard to handle and must be done with care. There are agents who counter back to the buyers with the caveat that the seller will sign a second time on the counter that is best and only then will it be accepted. So, the buyers are left to worry about whether they made the right decision with their offer. Hard to follow, right? I like to counter with highest and best offer within a certain time frame to give everyone the same opportunity when I represent the sellers. It helps to know if they are preapproved so make sure you have your letter handy!
Hopefully, we will continue with our brisk spring market and have many happy homeowners springing up around Columbus!
