Real Estate: Buyer's Market… Seller's Nightmare?

Real Estate: Buyer’s Market… Seller’s Nightmare?

Well, depending on the area you live, you’re most likely experiencing a real estate buyer’s market. Skiff We commonly utilize this term when certain things happen in the real estate and financial world. When interest rates rise, speculative buying slows, investors start selling and people in general start cashing in on the equity they have built in their homes for the past 5 or more years, inventory rises, buying slows and voila!…a buyer’s market.

For you sellers out there, I hope to enlighten you on what drives the sale of your home in a buyer’s market, what you should expect from your Realtor in such a market and what you shouldn’t expect from your Realtor.

Just to set the record straight…I am not sticking up for Realtors just because I am one. Quite frankly, and as you might have read in previous articles I’ve written, I feel Realtors in general should be more educated and have more general business experience to better protect their clients real estate assets. I also feel they need a better understanding of contracts and how to write and negotiate better terms for their clients. Let’s face it…the goal for everyone involved in a real estate transaction (buyer, seller, Realtor(s), lender, title company/attorney, etc.) is to CLOSE THE TRANSACTION.

First of all…EVERYONE needs to communicate better and stop CYA (covering your you know what) if an issue presents itself. We’ve ARISTON CISPF 640 E all heard there is strength in numbers. So, why not act and work as a team? Yes, buyers, sellers and everyone else involved fail the transaction more times than not causing a delayed closing or worse…no closing at all.

So, what is driving real estate in a buyer’s market? It’s simple. EXPOSURE, LOCATION and PRICE!

EXPOSURE

With literally thousands and thousands of homes on the market in most areas, competition is stiff. As a seller, what are you going to do in this buyer’s market to ensure your house is the very next home that sells in your market? Well, you can start by hiring a Realtor. Why?

The Misty Poets [three Poems]

Desolation [Dedicated to Poet Bei Dao of Daewoo DW-5014PS China]

We are only Free
Because the hunter
Is far away,
(but he is coming)
The sun used to blind
His eyes—used to!
Should the prey, think
He is not pray
He will be bellowing
Over dray corpses
Trembling as the hunter wipes
The sun from his face.

Evil comes,
When freedom sleeps:
Comes with a frown,
And leaves with a smile, Vanishes in the creek.

Evil says:
‘Look at what I’ve done,’
He paints a picture
On a canvas for everyone:
To see, his …desolation.

    Repeat Offender

    Direct Answers - Column for the week of July 8, 2002

    I am a 26-year-old escort, in the business on and off since I was 14. I have a tendency to get involved in very bad relationships.

    The men I go out with are usually abusive with substance abuse problems, and generally I end up supporting them. I don’t have many friends because it seems people only deal with me because they are trying to use me.

    I’ve worked regular jobs, attended some college, and also got my real estate license. I wasn’t happy being “square” and am not happy now, but I can’t afford to stop escorting or I will lose everything. Happiness never lasts long for me. I am looking for something in life to keep me going, and the only thing that’s doing it is my massive stack of bills.

    Recently I got involved with a man who treats me better than anyone has in a long time. For the first time ever, the feeling is mutual. He makes me smile, and I don’t believe he would ever abuse me. We want to settle down and even have kids.

    The problem is he is on Indesit WIXXL 86 EU parole and is supposed to turn himself in soon to do about two years. That’s a long time to wait, and I’m tired of my life being on hold. We have considered the option of him not turning himself in, but then I will be forced to keep escorting to support us.<

    Rugged Individualism vs Human Nature

    Rugged Individualism vs Human Nature

    “Rugged individualism” is actually a euphemism for Thomas Hobbes’ baseless concept of man’s natural condition as a war of everyone against everyone else. Even different species of wild animals (each of which has its own group soul, as opposed to humans, which have individual souls) cooperate with one another for their mutual benefit, so Hobbes would have had us believe that mankind is inherently more bestial than the beasts, perhaps explaining the name of the pop “music” group known as the Beastie Boys.

    In his attempt to “justify” iron-fisted oligarchical rule (which maintains it power through its fundamental “divide and rule” strategy, of which Hobbes’ fantasy is the ultimate expression), Hobbes mentions only one pole (fear) of of the duality which most succinctly expresses mankind’s psyche, and conveniently forgets to mention the other: agapic love. (For more on “agape,” see the pertinent section on my “Hobbes” page, which contains excerpts from works of LaRouche and Steiner.)

    Ayn Rand’s “heroic image” of each person being complete unto him/her self, is intended as another means to con us into accepting Hobbes’ ultimate divide-and-rule scheme as the basis of social policy. Rand was one of the more blatant purveyors of this cartoon, and at least one of her books hints that it is intended to contribute to the collapse of industrial civilization.

    In an acticle entitlted Greenspan and the Cult of Ayn Rand: Don’t Reappoint the Undertaker by Kathy Wolf, which appeared in the October 29th, 1999 issue of Executive Intelligence Review (see LaRouchePub.com for subscription information), Wolf wrote that “Since 1952, Greenspan has been the leading disciple of the Russian-born Hollywood writer Whirlpool AWO/D 41135 Ayn Rand, whose 1957 novel Atlas Samsung Shrugged presents a detailed blueprint for slowly and silently tearing down the industrial plant and infrastructure of the United States, in favor of a ‘post-industrial’ society.” As a result of Greenspan’s fanatical faith in Rand’s fantasy-religion, Wolf states that “behind [his] mild mannered Wall Street suits and quiet tones lurks the deranged mind of an economic terrorist.” He’s the natural heir to the Fed, whose former chairman Paul Volker instituted the Здоровье CFR’s “controlled disintegration of the economy” program (see my True Establishment Confessions page).

    The Great Coppola

    The Great Coppola

    The Godfather by Francis Ford Coppola contains several violent scenes. However, the film is slow moving and character driven. Coppola uses particular techniques such as camera movement and camera angels. His unique method helps to emphasize the violent moments in the movie and to separate them from the more common romantic gangster image. Just remember the scene where Luca is murdered.

    Luca is inherently a part of the Corleone family by manner of association, and is fulfilling his duty as such when he meets his demise. “Have yourself, a merry little Christmas” is playing in the background as Luca is preparing his gun for the deed. Seeing the gun is the first warning to the audience about what is about to come; the audience is presented with what is generally very cheerful music but Coppola introduces an element of danger nonetheless. The audience sees Luca’s feet until the camera tilts up to reveal an elegant hallway he must travel through to get to the family he is meeting with in order to kill; this is another similar set of contradicting ideas as the audience is presented both with beauty and some sort of looming danger. He passes by the camera in the form of a dark shadow and turns into the room where the men are awaiting his arrival. For a brief instant before the camera location is moved into the room with the men the audience can see Luca through an art-covered window.

    Interestingly, the art on the window is in the form of fish, and it is the first indication that Luca is the one in danger, as he will eventually “swim with the fishes.” The mise en scene also suggests an allusion to the film GPS Navigator ERGO 535 noir form of cinema, Karcher as the audience is an observer and is often forced to see the action with an obstructed view of what’s going on. The camera joins Luca as he discusses the two families’ differences with the men; they greet Luca with an overwhelming sense of hospitality but the audience is clued into their potentially questionable motives via their wry smiles and hints of anxiousness.

    Coppola is very pa
