More ppl should consider San Diego:
• Most underrated city in the world
• Ton of smart talent (w/ ucsd, usd, sdsu)
• Access to Mexico-TJ borders
• 8th most largest city in US
• Solid food, music, art scene
• Great beaches everywhere
What else am I missing?
“Hi Kevin, I wanted to check in to see if you were interested in selling your property”
Do this 50 times a day, work under a superstar broker, sound normal, and be prepared to provide great market info.
You’re a millionaire in a few years.
*snicker*
In your experience, what fraction of buyers shop for a property expecting to make changes/upgrades after purchase? (Buyers who aren’t flippers, I mean.) Can not an argument be made to the effect of, “Yes, the carpet is crap, but since you were going to change it out anyway, there was no sense in going to the trouble of putting down some cheap beige stuff only to have it ripped up six weeks later…” Or do most buyers not think that way?
A winner! That’ll seal the deal.

You never fail to crack me up, Jim…
haha, wasn’t expecting that. Man you are really tough on sellers.. from “go all out on repairs” to “keep the price sharp”…
Hey JTR, I think you have a new propreitary product you can sell in volume to the banks. Just get on the vendor lists and mark up accordingly.
And for what they pay to their vendors, you will make a mint!
osidebuyer,
It’s common sense.
Do you think that Bofa’s paint job was worth it? It wasn’t.
It’s better than it was, but buyers gravitate to the reasons not to buy, or subtract from their offer at least double the actual cost of flooring.
All the paint and toilets did was make the complaint list shorter, but flooring is a biggie.
I thought realtors used a dart board.
Can`t wait to see what you did with the bidet.
Slightly off-the subject, this youtube made by the City of Carlsbad discusses an upcoming public hearing on the proposed power plant at the site of the old one on the lagoon and the beach in Carlsbad. The city opposes it, since it doesn’t use sea-water for cooling and can be placed in an industrial zone rather than on the coast. People are encouraged to attend the hearing to give their views. Happy Tsunamis to all, and to all a good night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzYjrS0ixlo&feature=youtu.be
hahaha…wasn’t expecting that. Nice white toilet. BOA should have focused on making the toilets white before they painted the walls bright white.
one question, did you say they spent $7,000 on paint? That seems CRAZY high to me. If you got a quote for carpet for $3500, they could have gotten carpet, paint AND new toilets for $7,000.
Would you suggest sellers paint their walls white? They scream rental property to me. I think at least a nice neutral beige would have been nice?
The advantage with white walls is that you can paint any colour you like over them. There’s no “old colour” that can leak through the new paint.
Congrats on the new thrones, Jim! Who gets to perform the honorary “first dump?” Just don’t forget to flush this time! 🙂
Now if the gate could only open as you drive up and not making you need to stop….
I thought I was the only grown adult who still uses the phrase “skid marks”!!! I’m definitely in good company!
I think Hersheys Squirts is the more sophisticated term to use.
