Petoskey is a Great Place to Retire - 12:21 AM
Petoskey, Michigan is being featured along with seven other towns in the January/February 2008 issue of Where to Retire magazine, in an article entitled "8 Terrific Low-Tax Towns."
The article notes that ". . . in Petoskey, the skiing, sailing and scenery attract many retirees who also enjoy upscale dining options, a charming downtown with boutique shopping and a reasonable cost of living."  The article explains that the yearly local tax burden on a hypothetical retired couple with an annual income of $60,000 and a home value of $225,000 would be $4,084.00  This amount would be even lower for a home located outside the city limits.  Resort … (0 comments)

Windermere Florida Short Sale FAQ's - 07:50 PM
What is a Short Sale?
A short sale is a negotiated settlement. This is when the lender agrees to accept less than the amount owed as a payoff on a loan.
Why would my Lender want to allow a Short Sale to help me?
The reason is simple; a short sale often has a better return on investment to the lender than a foreclosure. The average savings a lender sees from a short sale property compared with a foreclosure property is $14,000. Not only does the lender receive this savings, they are also paid on the loan 6 months earlier than in … (2 comments)

Doing the Same Thing and Expecting Different Results - 08:49 AM
I see many new  agents come and go in our industry.  As the market changed in the last two years many inexperienced and weak agents began to find themselves lost.  On Oahu our market is much stronger than most in the country, yet we have seen a decrease in the number of closings.
I have lost count of how many struggling agents have spoken to me in the last year asking advice.  Most were not willing to follow the advice.  Several of them have either left the industry or have stopped doing business all together.
Here is my advice to struggling agents.
If what … (67 comments)

Today is Opening Day of the Hawaii Legislature - 08:51 AM

One of the unique things about Hawaii is our openness.  We have what is called the sunshine law.  Most government meetings have to be open to the public.  All hearings and any sessions that have voting at the legislature and our County councils are open to the public to attend.  Most are televised on public TV.  It is one of the more civilized parts of our local government.
Being here on an island we have a saying, "everyone knows everyone here".  That is also true of our elected officials.  Many of us know our State Representative and State Senator personally.  I and … (2 comments)

300,000 Points on Active Rain is That Too Much Blogging? - 06:34 PM
Is that too much?  Have I spent way too much time in front of the computer?  That is a good question.  I have spent many long hours writing blog posts and responding to others blogs.
We had or regional REALTOR® meeting this morning.  I spoke to three different agent this morning that are not doing well in their business.  My best guess is that just Active Rain alone is bring my more clients and referrals than they are getting in total.  For that reason alone I feel I can justify my time here.
But there are several other benefits I am gaining … (116 comments)

Atlanta Foreclosure Homes Numbers Rise - 08:47 AM
The number of Atlanta Foreclosure homes has increased dramatically. There are almost 7000 mortgage default notices going out this month. This is according to equity depot, the Atlanta-based firm that tracks the foreclosure numbers. This may mean that the market is not going to improve for home sellers any time soon. 
This is very good news for home buyers as they can easily buy a home at a huge discount under these market conditions. Sellers and banks are more motivated than ever to make a deal, so the home buyer can walk away with some huge discounts. 
We specifically put out a list … (0 comments)

5 Reasons to Use Misspelled Words in Your Ads - 10:37 AM
Todays post was contributed by Joey Bridges
Have you ever thought of using misspelled words in your paid advertising? It is one of the most overlooked and underutilized advertising methods in the paid advertising world. Thanks to many great word processing programs (and maybe just not paying attention) that auto correct typing many of us (myself included) misspell words when we are searching for something on the Internet. Our real estate customers are no different and often misspell city names, property addresses, general real estate questions. Let's look at some great reasons to advertise on misspelled words.
Your competitors aren't doing it - that's … (31 comments)
