Unemployment in Illinois is Bigger News Than the EX-Governor - 01/29/09 07:45 PM
   Your ability to make a telephone connection in Illinois now may determine if soon you will be living on the street (See Chicago Tribune column by: Mary Ellen Podmolik). She describes the Illinois method of allowing a person to continue receiving unemployment benefits.
In real estate we are very familiar with circumstances that arise when payments are not made ontime. Mortgagors or lessees who submit payment plans, so as to make modifications to their payment obligations, find their debt holders unsympathetic when these obligations are not adhered to.
As descrivbed in the Chicago Tribune article mentioned above, the inability of … (0 comments)

Keller Williams Family Reunion Orlando 2009 - 01/24/09 05:52 PM
See you at the convention. Don't forget to bring your long johns. The last time I was at the Orlando comvention, I had to wear a fur bathing suit.
Of course, if you keep your nose to the grind stone, bathing suits are a non-issue. Just go for the experience, ambiance and comraderie. NOT!

REO's and auctions - 01/22/09 08:28 PM
Just lost one of my listings: 4209 Kolze, Schiller Park, IL. This is a one bedroom condo near O'Hare airport. I  had the same thing happen last summer to a listing in Des Plaines, IL.
That listing was pulled for the same reason - it was dumped into a pool of properties for a bulk sale and auction. I got that property back 60 days later. What does that say about the property if it is a bulk sale reject. Presently this property is averaging one showing per week - keep ypur fingers crossed. Maybe it will find that buyer - … (0 comments)

Inauguration is Over - Now What! - 01/20/09 09:07 PM
The signal that the new president has been placed in office was the stock market falling over 300 points. Doesn't appear to be much confidence, in the short term, that change is ging to happen soon. Of course Wall Street is not capable of seeing beyond six months. That is what caused the present mess.
Given time - I believe eighteen months would be the time to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and know that it is not an oncoming train.

Inaugral Bump - 01/20/09 08:44 PM
Well, the inauguration has occurred and what happened. Stock market dropped over 300 points. As I have mentioned in previous blogs this real estate market is not destined to recover anytime soon.
Prseident Obama's speech  was okay but apparently not significant to stop erosion in the financial markets. The stock market dropped over 300 points today. A president is often measured by his accomplishments in the first 100 days in office, BUT WE DON'T HAVE 100 DAYS.
Maybe to get money flowing again, we need to put the Chicago financing method into practice. You don't want to pay! Okay, we have … (0 comments)

Up Tick in Real Estate Activity - 01/18/09 09:33 PM
Over the past ten days I have been experiencing increased activity in interest in my listings. The temperture has not gone above negative zero, so there is not a positive bump caused by weather.
 
 
 
 

Given the negative zero temperures, this must reflect actual buyer activity. Maybe I have not been exposed to the negative 10 degree buyer as yet (I do have thirty years in this market so far). I'll get back to ou with the results, but I am kind of busy right now.

Are You Ready? - 01/18/09 09:09 PM

 
 
Some may remember 2004-2005, don't read any further if you don't.
Seller's caught you at the checkout register, the stop light, toll booth (no lie), church coffee hour to ask about sellling their real estate. You held off publication of the event until you were ready to sell at the moment of release. It was necessary to bring on board assistants to your assistants to handle business.
It may be necessary to bring back your assistants to your assistants towards the end of 2009, because in my market I am experiencing multiple showings and pending offers on my … (0 comments)

Eviction, an Enigma - 01/17/09 07:36 PM

 
Forelosure  -  Non-payment of obligation.
Sounds pretty simple, now envision yourself as you walk up to the front door with the county sheriff. A knock on the door, or ringing of the bell, produces a pre-school age child at the door. Everyone on the premises is on the Sheriff's list. Outcome: Occupants are put on the street without their belongings (they arrive their later).
So you like having REO properties because they are cheap and easy to sell? Going to sleep at night knowing that you have placed children out on the street is not pleasant. This is the … (0 comments)

Barak to Lead Us - 01/17/09 07:15 PM
Judges 4-8
 And Bar'ak said to her. "If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go!"
It's a stretch; however, Barak's namesake may give us a clue.
Judges 4-14-16
Then Deb'orah said to Bar'ak, "Up! For this is the day in which the Lord has delivered Sis'era into your hand. "Has not the Lord gone out before you. So, Bar'ak went down from Mount Ta.bor with ten thousand men following him.

Real Eatate Auction - To Be Or Not To Be! - 01/17/09 05:02 PM
Last summer I was asked to market a foreclosed property, so whats new, after 45 days Iwas told the listing was being pulled because the property was going to be auctioned off in a bulk sale.
Fine by me because it was not that beautiful anyway. I don't mind eating the advertising (cost of doing business for these types of properties) expenses because I know I will be getting more propeerties.
Ninety days goes by and the bank asks me to take the property back because it was rejected by the bulk purchaser (great property hey!). Since relisting, I have had … (0 comments)

My Obama Inaugeration Ticket is Missing. - 01/17/09 04:37 PM
I've been robbed. I know that my $50,000 check for the Obama inaugeration is in the mail (Ooops, did I forget the stamp). However, being from Illinois and Chicago area to boot, I should have no problem since I am in the real estate business. There seems to be a thread running through Chicago-Obama-and Real Estate Deals.
January 21, 2009 is the date for local real estate activity to pick-up around here. Contact me for your local real estate deals because I know my check is going to show up soon, and this is Illinois where cash is king.

REO Market is Beginning to Look Ugly - 01/08/09 10:27 PM

 
The proceedure that I use to research properties that I am to appraise or list is always the same:
1. Punch the address into the MLS and search for activity.
2. It has been my experience in the past, that the property pops up as either active or in the off-market data.
3. If not found, I look in the archive data that goes back an additional four years. I usually find it there.
4. I then have the property description, tax ID and possibly a picture. With the picture, I can then look for current data on current … (1 comments)
