Real Life Impact Podcast

Often we will follow up with potential clients and if someone is not ready to make a move they are waiting for something. Sometimes it could be work related. Sometimes its world politics or economy related. It could be many things and here is what could the problem with waiting.

Its raining a lot the last 3 days in Minnesota and one of the best ways to see if the basement gets wet is to look at a home during a heavy Spring Rain. Another way is simple look at the real estate disclosures.

The market is very active now in much of the extended twin cities metro area. There still is limited inventory and multiple offers. When you go further out to Rural MN the market moves at a solid pace, but some of the higher price properties are sitting on the market.

One of the things that most buyers, sellers and realtors talk about is that you should get a pre approval for a loan before looking at homes. However, there are times when buyers want to look without pre approvals. The annoying situations is when buyers know they cant be approved for a while but still try to get showings on properties.

I think most people would agree with the one at the top of me list. Realtors not getting back to you. As a Realtor I do follow up with buyers, sellers and agents often. I suppose there are times I forget to follow up with someone unintentionally. This mention pertains to no follow up after several attempts.

I mentioned separation from time to time when doing these videos so today I am going to talk in more detail about what that means compared to your one self.

We are in the spring real estate market and it is interesting to see once again how tough it is for buyers. This video is a 2 minute summary of the Minnesota Real Estate Market!

God, being Love, is also happiness. Last time I talked about the undoing of the not real. We also need to undo not being loving and not being happy. We need to remember we are created in His image which is Love...which also is happiness!  In this message what is interesting when I was talking about a slight struggle I deal with the internet was freezing so it was blurry...trying to blurry out the non happy part of my message.

Selling for sale by owner is something sellers from time to time explore. Over the years through other statistics and some of my own tracking the actual numbers for saving money rarely actually NETs the sellers more money. Now it will even make less sense for sellers to sell for sale by owner going forward.

One of the most common questions we get is when we have a listing and we get a direct call from a buyer. They will ask, When can I take a look at ...property xyz? And the normal response from me is I need more information and here is why...

With the continued daily lesson I do myself with the course in miracles one of the things I would say most people are just the "undoing of the not real" away from feeling better.

For many of my earlier years of going to church I did not really understand what the "Kingdom of Heaven" really meant. I think much of that is because different people with spiritual authority explain it differently. In my studies in the course in miracles seeking the kingdom of heaven is about knowing what ou are and accepting it. Let me explain...

Its very rare there is not a problem to solve in a real estate transaction. Sometime its needed to be solved before listing a property. Other times things comes up during the buyers financings or during the inspection. Realtors need to be able to help with the solutions for all the problems.

The Spring Market is here for Minnesota Real Estate.  The Carstensen Team with RE/MAX results talks about the still current lack of inventory for Minnesota homes.  And we do spend several Minnesota talking about the real estate settlement cases you may have heard about on the news.

Grievances cause separation. Truly your function is to be connected to God. To know truth. Not to be seperated and disconnected. Yet how do we do that in the noise of the world?

One of the things we sometimes see on coming soon listings for example that look like they will be a "Hot" property is site unseen offers. But should you make a sight unseen offer?

Often times in a heavily contested multiple offer situation we will see some of the buyers waive doing a home inspection. But is that something that a buyer should do? And if so, what could happen?

In order to use the function you were given we need to forgive. Not a new message in this series but a reminder. In the course one of the lessons was that love hold no grievances. Thus the starting point of walking in love, and using the function God gave us is to reflect on if we are holding grievances.
