Andersohn Turns 85 Years Old - Watch Out Billy Joel and Elton John - 03:14 PM
Last week I was fortunate enough to get away for a couple days to take my kids and visit their Grandpa for his 85th surprise birthday party in Arizona.  It had been 8 long years since my 3 boys had seen there Gramps, so this was a great surprise and fun for us all.  I won't bore you with all the mushy and sobby details, but I did want to share this video with you of my father playing the piano, possibly the very last time, and it was such a blessing to have it caught this on film.  Somehow I … (69 comments)

Now IS the Time to get a GREAT DEAL on a Minnesota Lakeshore Home! - 05:06 PM
Recently I was on the phone with REALTOR® from the Brainerd Lakes area (cabin country for those in the Twin Cities north metro). We were discussing how affordable lake shore properties had recently become in Minnesota compared to just a few years ago. One of the tidbits he shared with me was that all predictions were pointing toward an abundance of lakehomes and lakeshore cabins that would be hitting the foreclosure market this year. This year seasonal and year round properties are available in every price point at rock bottom prices. So this got me thinking and once again I decided … (8 comments)

For Military Families the SOLD Sign in the Yard is Reason to Celebrate - 09:56 PM
Today another of my listings in the planned community of Port Potomac went to settlement.  This is my second settlement in Port Potomac in Prince William County for a military family using the Department of Defense Homeowners Assistance Program (HAP) benefits this year.

Beware of Hidden Charges - 06:19 PM
 ~~~~~
I am presently working with the Buyer in purchasing a Concord area condo.
We are encountering the usual bumps showing up in this Market, especially trying to craft an offer based on mostly short-sale and foreclosure sales and appraisals.
But we've just run into a new barrier, annoyance, highway robbery whatever you chose to call it.....The Management Company is charging $90 for the Buyer (or the Lender)  to get the condo docs. In fact it would appear they charge for any documentation associated with a Real Estate transaction.They even have a to the point, very utilitarian appearing website to accomplish this.Now we all know … (9 comments)

Prestamos ITIN para su Familia - 11:08 AM
Yo encuentro que hay mucha desconfianza y confusión del este tema: Comprando Casa con el ITIN.
Y con mucha razón. Yo mismo encontré muchos engaños en el Internet y dentro de nuestra comunidad de negocios Latinos. Lamentablemente, este ambiente de falta de confianza esta quitándole la oportunidad a muchas familias realizar el sueño de comprar su propia casa por que tienen miedo usar su ITIN para comprar una casa.
Hoy mismo yo tengo varias familias aprobada para comprar casas con el Prestamos ITIN. Ellas están listas para comprar su primera casa sin enganche, sin costo de cierre y sin crédito tradicional.
