Hi All....

Well the big new the last couple of days has been all the rain in Tallahassee.  All four areas, NE, NW, SE, and SW of Tallahassee got rain.

Additionally, the surrounding Counties (Wakulla, Franklin, Gadsden, and Jefferson) as well.

Yes, it did take a tropical system to bring it though.

Until next time...

Hi All,

I just want to take a moment and let you all know it is OK if you have a Real Estate Agent.

It is important that you tell the Listing Agent who your Agent is when asked.  No one wants to step on anyones toes.

Buyers should not be afraid say they have an Agent.  The Listing Agent will be glad to give you the information you need about the listing.

Here is where things get out of hand.  If the Listing Agent shows the Buyer the property, the Listing Agent is what we call "Procuring Cause".  When the Buyers Agent presents the Offer for the Buyer, who they did not show the house to, who do you think deserves to get paid the commission for the Selling (Buyer) Side of the Transaction?  I can tell you what every Real Estate Agent will tell you...The Agent who was "Procuring Cause".

So, if you want your Buyers Agent to get paid for helping you with your Real Estate needs, you need to be up front that you have an Agent, and let the Listing Agent know who that agent is...you might be surprised to find out both Agents are friends and have great working relationships...

If you have any questions about this, please feel free to call 850.545.9317 or email chris@ringtherivers.com

Until Next Time!

Hi All,

I was driving to the office this afternoon and was reflecting on my time the past couple of weekends hosting one of Tom Ertl's Parade home in the Mid-Town area of the NE of Tallahassee.

I recalled my experience with having my personal home built.  It was refreshing to see all the exciting faces of people looking at their dreams of owning a "New Home".  My thoughts drifted to what I would have done differently with 20/20 hind sight.  Maybe it was the Screen Guy drilling holes into the concrete slab at 7:30am today that started the whole process.

Anyway, I came to the conclusion that I would have done one thing different.  Keep in mind that I am a Real Estate Professional who does have a Brokers License with the State of Florida.  The one think I would have done differently would have been to hire a Real Estate Professional to be the sounding board between me and the Builder.

If you are thinking about Building a home in the near future you might just want to give me a call so we can chat.  It does not matter if you are thinking about the NE, NW, SE, SW of Tallahassee or the other surrounding counties.

If you have never done it, Building can be a great experience or one that you wish you did not take on.  Let's make it the great experience you dream about.

Until next time!

Hello Everyone!  This past weekend I had the good fortune of meeting Dr. Mounzer Fatfat, the Senior Advisor for the US Emabassy in Iraq.  He is also the man who saved the Olympic Iraqi soccer team from the abuse of there former coach.  Over the course of the weekend, he told me many stories invovlving the war, but one story stuck out the most for me.  He told me of a little boy who sat on his lap one afternoon and asked Dr. Fatfat to bring back his father.  See, Dr. Fatfat had been his father's boss and became close to the family.  While the boys father was helping out nation against the Iraqi insergants, he was killed. 

As we approach our Memorial Day weekend I can't help but be thankful for what we have and the family that surrounds us.  Every day I help people find a slice of the American Dream, and I am grateful to have that opportunity!

Happy Memorial Day!!

Hello everyone!  I wanted to take this opportunity to let the public know about a wonderful venture that I am invovlved in locally.  As a part of the community awareness committee here at Keller Williams, I have begun raising funds in order to possibly change the lives of some of our local children.  Playgrounds for Progress and KW cares is going to purchase a lot in an under-developed subdivision on the south side of town and build a playground.  We are hoping that this will allow an outlet  for the children to express their emotions in a positive way and learn how to build relationships from an early age.

If you would like to get involved please feel free to contact me.  Even if it is to donate your time and creative ideas, it could really help make a difference.
