Happy New Year, 2010 - a new decade a new opportunity! Thank you for the business in 2009! - 11:18 AM
Many resolutions will be made today the beggining of the year always reminds us of the things we would like to start this year.  One of my mentors always use to say its not how you start its how you finish!  Taking that approach I wanted to reflect backwards at 2009 and just say thank you to the many business partners that I have in the Ozarks.  2009 has been both a successful year but a very tough year in this business.  I have made a decision to begin the new year at a new company, In searching for the new … (4 comments)

2010 Motivational Video. Hoping to help you start the year of right with a little bit of fun, a little bit of motivation, and a lot of LOVE!

Have a terrific 2K10! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JFg-5EENU8 … (2 comments)

New Standardized Good Faith Estimate Effective January 1 2010 - 07:19 AM
This post from Yoreena Yao is an excellent overview of the new 2010 Good Faith Estimate that is mandatory on all loans.  It is not a perfect form and buyers will need to know what the pitfalls are.  This article is good place to start.
Via Loreena Yeo - Broker|Realtor(R) of Frisco-TX-Homes (214) 783-2210 (3:16 team REALTY):
For the longest time, there was no standardization in good faith estimates presented by Lenders when a loan application is made by a borrower. No standarization here means some lenders disclose a variety of information on the previous GFE while others do not disclose at all. … (6 comments)

Who You Gonna Trust? - 06:45 PM
I just went to my Control Panel on Realtor.com to check out how my listings are doing.  Guess what?  The site says that the view count is as of 1/3/2010.  Huh?  It's only 1/1/2010, makes me question the accuracy of their numbers.  Another thing to not like about them.

"Your Money Back if You are Not Delighted?" - 09:21 AM
Jennifer Allan keeps the wheels turning.
Is the classic agent compensation model based on percentages and "fly now, pay later" representation flawed?  How badly? 
To the extent of: "Your Money Back in 90 Days if You are Not Delighted?" 
 Of course, maintaining agent compensation while reducing consumer risks and/or costs is the driving angle, as it is all through the industry in the current climate. 
But, reduction of risk to consumers has to have some financial support.  The classic model, with payment upon closing of a transaction removes significant financial risk.  But someone has to subsidize the venue.  Failed deals still carry a cost … (6 comments)

Sellers: Can your Listing Agent tell a Buyer how to find your House? - 07:18 PM
Can your Listing Agent tell a Buyer how to find your House?
More to the point, can your agent give good directions on the Triangle MLS so folks searching the MLS can find your house?
Can your agent mark your home on the map, so Bing Maps shows a web surfer the Bird's Eye View of your home?  On TMLS, we can drag the pointer on Bing and put it squarely on your home.  That can really make a showing great, when the buyer can take the "Bird's Eye View" and already knows that there are no power lines, no shopping center, mature trees and … (4 comments)

And going down is the fun part! It's all in a way one decides to look at things. Going down and climbing back up again.
