Making Home Maintenance Routine - 11:10 AM
Home ownership has its wonderful benefits, and as one of the single biggest financial assets many people own, preparing, planning, and making home maintenance a routine are important.
Personal finance experts recommend setting aside at least 1 percent of your home price each year in a separate account for maintenance and repair costs. 
Automatically deducting the funds from your paycheck or automatically transferring it between accounts each month can make this easy.  Some years homeowners will have less than 1 percent in maintenance costs or repairs and some years they will have more.  When something big and unexpected happens; for example … (0 comments)

Why nobody from Nigeria can ever purchase real estate in the United States.... - 07:17 PM
It's unfortunate that there are so many spammer and scammers using or coming from Nigeria. I began to think about this for a moment...what if an actual real life person "Actually" did want to purchase some real estate in our area? Well...for one they probably would't get the time of day...why? Well because of the thousands of bogus emails that all the idiots have sent over the years to all the agents and others in the U.S.
The fact is nobody would believe someone if they wanted to purchase from Nigeria online....that's ruined for now at least...
And if you think … (1 comments)

Buying a Fixer Upper with a FHA 203K Loan - The Basics
Have you been thinking about buying a house but you can't find anything that you like?  Have all the houses you look at, in your price range, fallen short of your expectations? 
There are a lot of homes out there for sale that need work to make them livable but after vision, money and sweat they would be perfect for you.  However, you may only have 3 1/2 % plus your closing costs saved and not have enough for repairs.  How will you ever buy a house like that?

Canton real estate offers great value! - 09:03 AM
  As we all know, the economic downturn has been difficult on many.  While the drastic reduction of real estate prices has been a horror to most, for some it has been a blessing.  Many home buyers could not afford a home 5 years ago during the peak of the real estate market, but know those same homes are very affordable.  Canton real estate fits that profile nicely.  During the hot market many new home builders set up shop in Canton due to the abundance of land and lower taxes.  This has left a large amount of vacant homes in inventory.  Sellers … (0 comments)

Sell without a cell? - 04:59 PM

 Maybe it has to do with her show ending soon, I don't know, but I've been addicted to the Oprah Show this season.  Usually on the weekend I'll fly through the episodes on my DVR and I probably average 1.5 shows per week after I delete the topics that don't interest me.  Her "No Phone Zone" campaign has caught my attention for sure.  I consider myself a very good driver (you probably do too) and I'd even argue that Realtors on average are better drivers than the general public, given that we do so much of it.  And today I wondered … (3 comments)
