What does a Realtor( Alison ) do on a typical day ?
Humm now I think this is an interesting question. I hear so many answers I thought maybe I would blog about what I do all day. Or most days. I find my self always thinking I need to be doing more. I need to be making headway. Im wondering what people would say about my in ability to stick to one thing. I tracked my day back in August and thought wow. I need to stay more focused. So this we an average day for me. I wonder what your day would look like in Virginia Beach and a Realtor ?

Blogging today is a blank !
Have you ever thought what the heck am I going to blog about. I mean afterall everything I have to say is what we all know already. Bail outs, meltdowns, seller screaming , some days I just can't take it. I love what I do and when it goes smooth it goes smooth !!!!
Oh yes I know I can blog about myshort sale experiance. I have to say it was smooth as butter !!!!! Yes I mean really it did.
I listed a home in Aragona, Brick ranch with 3 beds no AC and in as is condition. I put a price of 175k on it. This was a VHDA shortsale and it was my first one. with all the short sales you would think there would be more knowledege out there. I spent hours and hours reading blogs and more blogs trying to make sure I get all the loose ends wrapped up. I asked my clients for complete access to the lender I think this was the 1st and best step I could have asked for.
VHDA set an apprasial and the value came in at 170 as it. I lowered the price and with in 2 weeks we got 2 offers both at around 154 one asked for money the other did not. VHDA was very prompt in replying. I was given instructions to the listing the offer and process. It was that simple ! The buyer did there inspections we removed the contigency and closed. It was amazing !!! As a listing agent I expected a night mare I figured the worst, it was such a surprise. The buyer was hapy the seller was happy and both agents were happy.
Now Im off to figure out how to do a shortsale with countrywide, Ocwen, and Citibank. I dont think it is going to be as easy.
Im one happy gal tonight just picked up the closing check and delivered it to the office
