The South Lake Tahoe House: How to See how it stacks up against its Competition
July 17th, 2008 categories: About Us, For Buyers, For Sellers, Lake Tahoe NV Statistics, Lake Tahoe Real Estate, Market Performance Updates
Or how to price against competition if you’re a South Lake Tahoe Seller… or make sure you didn’t pay too much if you’re a Buyer.
Selling a house is not an exact science. Neither is evaluating one, or buying one for that matter. That’s true throughout the country, and South Lake Tahoe too.
There’s always much emotion and subjectivity involved, which is one of the reasons why it’s often so difficult for some to arrive at an objective conclusion about what a home is worth.
In one sense, though, and it’s a rather simple cliche, a home’s value is what a buyer is willing to pay for it. Nothing more, or less. Getting to that point, however, where the market dictates value, is a process.

Emotion and Ego: The Necessity of Taking Them Out of the Sale of a South Lake Tahoe House.
July 14th, 2008 categories: For Buyers, For Sellers, Lake Tahoe Real Estate
For some South Lake Tahoe owners it’s easy, for others it’s tantamount to exorcism.
Taking both emotion and ego out of the sale of a house is the difference between a quick sale for more money, or a long drawn out sale that gets less.
We all have a tendency to become attached to things that are ours, and particularly so for a place of family experiences and fond memories.
So it’s most understandable that a homeowner most often thinks that their home is worth more than a prospective buyer does.

How to Gain Market Control as a Buyer in South Lake Tahoe.
July 10th, 2008 categories: About Us, For Buyers, Lake Tahoe Real Estate
How to make sure you don’t pay too much, or miss anything in South Lake Tahoe, or anywhere else for that matter.
One does not normally think of market control from a buyer’s perspective. Not in South Lake Tahoe, not anywhere really. The buyer does have ultimate control over a real estate market, though. There is no real estate market without them.
When a buyers does make the decision to purchase a home, two immediate concerns come into play. Both are fears, though a buyer may not consciously identify them as such.
Every home buyer has (1) a fear of paying too much, and (2) a fear of missing something.

We Finally Made it to the Other Air and Space Museum
July 7th, 2008 categories: About Us, Lake Tahoe Real Estate
An SR71 Blackbird and the Enola Gay all in one sitting.
Standing there right in front of it, so close one can touch the tip of its slender, pointed nose, the SR71 Blackbird makes for a great abstract image, but from this angle it doesn’t look like there’s much in the way of a technically revolutionary aircraft behind it. Looks though can be deceiving, and certainly this image is one of those.

From South Lake Tahoe to Lead America: Olivier goes to Leadership Training.
July 6th, 2008 categories: About Us, Lake Tahoe Real Estate
A Great Opportunity for my wife Maxene’s Son.
We didn’t know what it was when we opened the invitation that came in the mail. We had never heard of "Lead America" before then. It didn’t take much longer than reading it though to think this was something we had to check out.
The invitation was for Maxene’s son Olivier to attend the National Junior Leadership Summit this summer in Washington, DC. It wasn’t until later that we found out that it had come via one of Olivier’s teacher’s recommendations to Lead America, the educational foundation that produces it. (We later found out who the teacher was, and have thanked her profusely.)
