More Fireworks Coming this Saturday to Alexandria Virginia! - 03:25 PM
With July 4th a few days behind us, you may have already gotten your fill of fireworks.  Children of all ages enjoy "the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air" (well maybe it frightens the really young and the causes heart attacks in the really old, but you know what I mean).

If you haven't yet enjoyed your share of fireworks, you are in luck.  More fireworks are coming to Alexandria, Virginia.  Rather than competing with the fireworks in D.C. on the National Mall on Independence Day, Alexandria prefers to wait a week every year to hold their own celebration.  … (3 comments)

Tolerance to Intolerance - 01:43 PM
My American friend, Jon, Russian by birth, American by choice.
Posted this earlier today.
I added: INTOLERANCE, tolerance, and over-tolerance describe our reason for existence, our greatness, and our biggest problem. Our continuing doctrine is to remain tolerant! We have to realize over-tolerance only occurs when the other guys fist approaches out face!
We were founded on a belief in inalienable rights that demands tolerance, but for personal choices and an intolerance to the imposition of other's beliefs. It's as oxymoronic as it is wonderful!
Being an American is more than an accident of birth!

BANK OF AMERICA AND SHORT SALES - THEY DO UNDERSTAND - WATCH WHAT THEY DO, NOT WHAT THEY SAY. - 07:59 AM
WHAT DO SHORT SALES OFFER THE BANKS??
MYTH #1.  IF IT MAKES SENSE TO THE AGENT, IT SHOULD MAKE SENSE TO THE BANK.  ActiveRain members continue to question the results of Short Sales submitted to major banks, servicing entities, etc., for approval.  The question is usually "why don't the banks understand the benefits of approving a Short Sale??" 
MYTH #2.  THE BANKS DON'T UNDERSTAND THE BENEFITS OF APPROVING A SHORT SALE.  HA!  Bank of America understands Short Sales far better than real estate agents and consumers understand the Bank of America.
MYTH #3.  IT'S GOOD PUBLIC RELATIONS FOR THE BANK TO … (74 comments)

Home Buyer's Spoiled By Low Rates - 01:02 AM
Buyers are blessed with wonderful rates right now- this is a great time to take advantage!!!
Via Traci Marra (Keller Williams Real Estate - Media):
Home buyer's have become jaded by consistently low rates over the past 10 years. To a current home buyer's the interest rates hitting 4.75% is no big deal and does nothing to create a sense of urgency in their home search.Any of us who were in the market prior to the year 2000 know exactly what I mean. Back in the 90's when I purchase my first home I was able to get a fantastic rate of 7.25%. Just … (2 comments)

Home Staging DOES NOT mean Deceiving the Buyer! - 03:20 AM
I thought this was an excellent post for all to read...  buyers, seller, agents, etc... 
Via Shar Sitter; Home Staging in Minneapolis, MN (Rooms With Style; Home Staging in Minneapolis, St. Paul ):
Home Staging does not mean deceiving the buyer. There are times during a home staging consultation that I have been asked how to hide something. Don't hide it, fix it!!
Home Staging can get a bad rap as many buyers, as well as Realtors, think things have been covered up, painted over, or a chair conveniently placed in front of an eye sore. Home Staging does NOT mean deceiving the … (4 comments)
