The other day, a friend and former client of mine sent me a link to a house for sale in Oakville. He told me that he’d noticed a string of cars driving slowly by the house and it was kind of creepy so he hopped online and there it was. Single family ranch homes in […]

Earlier this week, the national real estate brokerage Redfin made headlines as they’ve announced you can now buy a house without a buyer’s agent. Brilliant, you say? Did you know you can buy a home without a buyer’s agent right now without the help of Redfin or anyone else? There’s no requirement that you work

As I was heading down Watson the other day, I couldn’t help but notice the “store closing” signs around Johnny Mac’s. And, they’ve announced they will close soon.

As a real estate broker in St. Louis, new home buyers ask me this question all the time. I don’t know if I’ve ever really come up with a good answer. As with most things, it depends. Shortest time you’ve ever helped a buyer? I can say that 3 times, the first time I showed

I’ll be back showing houses next week. The time I’ve been out has allowed me to reflect on where I think things are and where I need them to be in the future. We’ve come a long way in a short amount of time, but we can always improve. One of the things we have
