Question Of The Week: Fernando, An investor says he can buy my house and negotiate a short sale directly with my bank -  Is this okay?

A nice little camera for real estate pics - 10:54 AM
I have the big fancy Sony we use for shooting our listings and I wanted to pick up one that I could keep in my purse for those last minute photos or "opportunities" that pop up.
I went to Walmart and purchased a Sony Cyber-shot which is 14.1 megapixels, has an optical 4X Zoom and here it is real estate friends, a 26 MM wide angle lens. 
It also has a Carl Zeiss lens.
Boy was this camera made for me...talk about point and shoot, "easy breezy" as Ralph G. says.
Has some fancy features too and takes video.

You Need Back-Up Heat - 04:03 AM
How did you like the wind storm last week? Lots of people lost power because of that howling wind. Some places were without power for days. Most heating systems require electricity to operate so these people were without heat as well.
 
If you have a gas fireplace you might be able to keep your house tolerably warm with that minimal heater…but what if you didn’t have gas?
One of these days we are going to lose our gas supply through a major line breakage, cause by an accident, or an earthquake, or perhaps just because of deterioration of the system. … (3 comments)

Welcome to Peacock Lane: A Christmas tradition since 1929 - 01:16 AM

Located between SE Stark and Belmont, one block north of 39th, lies a quiet street… at least most of the year. But during the month of December, since 1929, Peacock Lane has become a holiday tradition for families across Portland.

Peacock Lane is a street where every family, since 1929, has a Christmas light show on their homes. There are literally 100s of families walking and driving down Peacock Lane on any given night. If you are here in Oregon during the month of December, I suggest you check out this wonderful neighborhood tradition.

Real Estate Jargon - What are We Really Talking About? - 06:25 PM
***REBLOG***
I loved this post by Claudette because it couldn't be more true. Every industry has it's acronyms and sayings, and Real Estate is no stranger to odd language.
Some of it may be regional, but a lot of it is universal. Maybe we should just chalk it up to "editorial license."

Back to the Basics - 11:52 AM
As we are fast approaching the new year; thinking about how business might be in 2011 is a bit scary for some.  Many loan officers have been relying mainly on refinances to make a living and forgot about their bread and butter.  These are their referal partner realtors, financial planners, divorce attorneys and insurance agents for example.  If I am talking about you then this is a good time to pick up the phone and start making appointments to meet with your relationship.  If you don't rest assure someone else will be.  We as loan officers need to get back to … (0 comments)
