Real Agent Help Monthly Breakfast - Blogging for Beginners!
What questions do you ask a potential buyers? Asking the right questions can mean the difference between earning a commission or wasting weeks of time. These are a few of my favorite questions that I ask potential buyers.
Last Saturday I awoke at 5am. Unable to go back to sleep, at 7 I decided to get dressed and head back out to the protected area of beach where the Black Skimmers had decided to hatch their babies and see if I could get you some better photos.
CONSUMER UPDATE: Last night I'm winding up my day and I get a call from my electrician (known to me as "my sparky") telling me I have a live line gas feed into the dining room ceiling fixture but better yet, along with the live line I also have cloth wiring - which is good and I'll tell you why in a few seconds, along with the rubber coated wiring that was done about 15 years ago. This emergency call to me was about "Barbie, how in the blue blazes am I going to get the wire out of the ceiling … (3 comments)
Okay, I'm back. One week is all I can stand being away here on Active Rain. I did get all the stuff I wanted to do. So, this past week of being away was really fruitful. I didn't realize that I had not filed away my paperwork since February/ March.... Ouch!!!
As stated in one of my earlier post, the area approved for Rural Development or RD Loans was expanded after the hurricanes to included parts of East Baton Rouge parish. However, what I was not aware of until recently was that this included parts of actual Baton Rouge! If the home is located in the unincorporated areas of Baton Rouge than it is eligible for this 100% loan. Each address will need to be checked to verify whether it falls outside of the city limits but as an example, most of the Shenandoah area and large sections of the Perkins Road … (1 comments)

Our Top Sarasota Properties of the Month
Ok, so this is my first blog. I've been meaning to get around to it for years. I guess I needed to get so excited about a topic that I would feel compelled to publicly express it. Recently I earned my TRC, which stands for Transnational Referral Certification, at the Real Estate Expo in Orlando. I was so intrigued by what I learned there that I immediately signed up for my first CIPS course, that is Certified International Property Specialist. Last week I completed the first course "International Real Estate for Local Markets" and am moving forward with my designation application and signing … (0 comments)
How does the recent home mortgage bailout bill help Salt Lake home buyers? Or those trying to hold on to the home they have. Or how can it hurt those same SLC buyers.?
It's a simple fact that it is now harder than ever for most people to buy a home. Mortgage lenders have become frugal with their money and have been only lending to the best of the best.
I couldn't believe it. I read in the local paper last Friday that many schools in Calaveras County were going to be open for business beginning Monday, July 28th. When I was growing up, we didn't start school until after Labor Day (the first weekend in September). (Was it that way for you?) Whether your child's school begins in July, August or September, the bottom line is you want to do your best to help him or her to be ready for Day 1 and beyond. To that end, I've got some quick pointers from a scholastic.com article by Evelyn Ngeow … (0 comments)
