Here Comes The Rain Again! - 08:23 AM
Here Comes The Rain Again! It's been an April for the record books in the Cincinnati area.  Day after day, rain seems to be falling.  We've been fortunate, minimal damage and not suffering the tornado damage of our Southern brethren. But the rain keeps adding up.  Almost 12" so far, the rainiest April on record, and we've still got a few days in the month left, and that radar photo....well that's here in no time! And we're not that far for setting the area record for all time rainiest month ever!  We're currently 3rd on the all time Cincinnati list, and … (37 comments)

Warren County Ohio Foreclosure Update: Scheduled Sheriff's Sales through 6/20/2011
 
 
The latest numbers continue to demonstrate a stable foreclosure market for Warren County, although there is a SLIGHT upward trend over the most recent scheduled foreclosure groups.  Three additional weeks of homes scheduled for foreclosure since the last update, with no weeks above 30.  These numbers include a few smaller builders.  We consider it a good sign that this segment is maintaining a low portion of the market.
The chart details the number of scheduled sheriff's sales PLANNED by week for Warren County Ohio and represents a wide … (14 comments)

Cape Coral Gulf Access Homes - 04:57 PM

 
Cape Coral Florida offers wonderful gulf access homes and communities.
In the first quarter alone we noticed an upswing in the amount of higher end homes sellling in Cape Coral, Florida.

Make sure your cell phone is off so you don't divulge confident information!!! - 11:43 PM
"Make Sure Your Cell Phone Is Off"...Good tip. Also be sure you don't "butt dial" YOUR phone either. Happens more to kids in tight jeans, when their phone is tucked in their back pocket and they sit down, but still.
It's really called another term but I made it more PC for those on AR with tender ears.
Via Duane M. Brown (Keller Williams Executives Realty):
A couple of weeks ago I was driving around some clients showing them some wonderful homes, there was one home that tickled their fancy the best so we called one it. 
I had a conversation with the … (3 comments)

11 Short Notes about Short Sales - 11:54 PM
"Eleven notes about Short sales"... Judy has comprised the most comprehensive set of notes about Short Sales that I have come across.
Even the way she wrote the list is interesting. Number One has one point, etc.
The only point I did not see was that you would really REALLY want only one lender involved. A second loan out on the house has ruined MANY an otherwise "perfect" transaction.
Via Judy Chapman (Koenig & Strey Real Living):
1 Reason Short Sales are Difficult Because the payback of the loan will be ‘shorted’ by a significant amount and the lender will have to take … (4 comments)

Power Tip: First Impression, Best Impression - How to Make A Great One - 02:57 PM
A good first impression is the way to start a great relationship. A negative first impression can often be overcome, but why give yourself the extra work?
Statistics from psychological studies show what to do to make a first impression that will last.
1. Watch what you wear. First impressions are formed within 7 to 17 seconds of meeting someone and 55% of a person's opinion is driven by physical appearance. Dress conservatively when meeting for the first time, even if you're in a "creative" office environment. Don't use accessories, perfumes, hair styles and shoes that call attention to themselves.

Congratulations Linda on the many successful consultations you have completed in the area.
