"Thanks again for all you have done for us."
"As we sweep up the last dust from the deck and scrub out the last cupboard, we think ahead to our future- a future that you have been instrumental in helping us work toward. When we decided to put our house on the market, we never considered asking anyone else to help us, because since we first met, we have been very impressed by your drive and integrity. This is the third house we have sold, and we have always been very fortunate in our choice of realtors. We believe that the relationship with one’s realtor is extremely important. Not only is it important to select a realtor who knows the business and knows how to market your house in the most efficient way, but that person should also be someone in whom you can place your trust. We have always felt that you have responded to all our wishes in how our house was marketed. You were really good at keeping us informed as to the interest shown by prospective buyers, and made us feel that we had a wonderful home to offer. Due to your persistence and great salesmanship, not only did you sell our house in a “down” market, but you were able to get us a fair price. We are glad that you found such wonderful buyers and know that they will be a grand addition to the neighborhood." Thanks again for all you have done for us. We are most grateful.
--Jon & Judy Busse

First Time Buyers >The Elements of Location
When you are in the market for a home, how should you evaluate the properties that appeal to you? There is an old cliché about the three most important factors of a piece of property--location, location and location.
Some neighborhoods have a certain distinction that attracts buyers, but there are other factors to take into account. A house in the best part of town may have a few points subtracted if it is located on a busy street. There are buyers who would like to be close to schools, shopping, and churches, but don't want to live across the street from these facilities. You may want an easy commute to your job, but would not consider a location close to the "on" ramp for the major route into town. A location close to a airport could be convenient if you are a commercial pilot, but could make it difficult to sell even the most wonderful house.
As you balance all of the factors, remember that a location liability which gets you a great house at a reasonable price will probably require you to pass a similar savings on to future buyers.
