As you know, we at The Bill Black Team have associated ourselves with NP Dodge, the oldest real estate company in the United States. However, our age doesn’t mean we are old—it means we are stable and tried and true. Think of the companies that have made it to today from 1855. There are very few of them.

We know how to deal with adversity and we know what it takes to be successful. NP Dodge has associated itself with the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, the largest international organization of independent real estate businesses. We do more dollar volume than any other association or franchise in the country.

We’re coming to you from Las Vegas, where we went to meet some amazing companies. It has been a great experience; stay tuned for future videos where we’ll be covering more about this trip.

No matter where you are looking for a home in this world, whether it’s in Omaha or in France, we can help you. If you have any questions for me in the meantime, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

At first, CBS Home Real Estate was simply “CBS”—having been named after the three gentlemen who ran it at the time. A little later on, another brokerage called Home Realty went under and was absorbed by CBS. It was at this point that CBS Home Real Estate was born.

But now, after more than 50 years, CBS Home Real Estate is coming to an end…sort of. We’re making the switch to NP Dodge. We believe this transition will truly be what’s best for our clients. NP Dodge is family owned and has been up and running since 1855, making it the oldest real estate company in the United States.

 

And longevity isn’t all they have going for them. They handle insurance, title services, land development, property management, and much more. Our team has a lot of faith in the brand and what it stands for. We’re so excited about this change.

If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Should you or should you not have an open house?

Here at the Bill Black Team, we have a solid marketing plan, and after almost four decades of listing houses and selling them at high rates, we know what to do in order to expose your house to the market.

Less than 2% of buyers come from open houses, so it’s entirely up to the seller as to whether or not we do an open house.

But here’s my concern: When those buyers walk through that front door, I don’t know who they are or whether they can afford this house. I have no idea if they intend to buy this house or if they just wanted to come look around. We’re seeing an increase in thefts during open houses; prescription drugs, personal information, jewelry, firearms, collectible items, and more have all been reported missing from these types of events.

The biggest thing I worry about regarding open houses is the personal safety of the homeowners. I will say, however, that I’ve been doing this for a long enough time that I’ve got that aspect taken care of if you’re ever interested in doing an open house.

If you’d like to talk to us about our marketing plans to expose your home to the market and how to sell your home at a successful list-to-sale ratio, reach out to us. Last year, we sold between 99% and 101% of the sale price on average. Those are pretty good odds. Hope to hear from you soon!

Today I’m coming from you straight from Denali National Park for an update on my life and to give you a look at the beautiful scenery. My family hasn’t been on vacation in probably 20 years, so this trip has been an extremely welcome change of pace. That said, time is short. I encourage all of you to spend some quality time with your own families whenever you can. Any vacation can be the vacation of a lifetime if you take it with the people you love.

I’ve been selling real estate for 36 years—I know what I’m doing.

I’ll also help you determine if there are any improvements you can make to your property that will add value to it. If you could spend $1 to make $5, why wouldn’t you? From there, the best thing you can do is keep your home and yard clean and decluttered. To hear more about how I plan to sell your home quickly and for top dollar, watch this short video.
