Selling Houses That Aren't for Sale...Yet
Yesterday I was quoted by the Wall Street Journal! The on line article was “Make Me an Offer: Buying Unlisted Homes”, and the reporter, Bob Hagarty, wrote about creative ways we use to find homes for buyers.
In another example of the strength of relationships in this business, my good friend and fellow CyberStar™ in Berkeley, California, Ira Serkes made the connection. Hagerty heard Ira’s presentation at the Inman Real Estate Convention back in January. When he called Ira for this article, Ira gave Hagerty my name as another source. And this was the result:
"Margaret Rome, a Coldwell Banker agent in Baltimore, once ran an ad in the Baltimore Jewish Times announcing that one of her buyers was seeking a "funky" four-bedroom ranch house in a particular school district for less than $400,000. An owner of such a house, which wasn't yet listed, responded, and a sale was quickly arranged, Ms. Rome says."

The best part? August 22 was my Mom’s birthday, and she would have been so proud. Happy Birthday, Mom!
