Hello,I am currently looking for a real-estate agent in Greensboro NC. My clients are getting ready to move and I need a good Realtor that also handles rentals. They are relocating from the Cleveland area. If you are interested I would love to hear from you. There criteria is: Rent range is from $1000-1150. They would like at least 3 bedrooms and 1.5ba. They would like a house with a yard but are willing to substitute for a condo or a apartment that has a playground and areas for children to play. They are planning on coming down the weekend of the 18th and I would like to have some rentals set up ahead of time for them to look at. They are very limited on time and have two small children. Please contact me via email or by phone if you are interested.

 

Thank You,

Aili L. Stone. Realtor

Hi Everyone,

 

 I have been searching and reading many great articles on updating my blog. Here is the problem, I do not have a whole lot of time, besides of just being a realtor I am a full-time student obtaining my bs and a full-time mother and wife..Ok, so you all get the picture, I am extremely busy....lol! Anyways, I want to create my blog to look better then what it does, I have tried putting a background on it, but I am having trouble. It says it has taken it however it does not show up, also I have been trying to create a header, any suggestions. Everything I've tried, is there any great programs out there? Also, any suggestions when it comes to SEO? Any of everyones opinions would be great. Thanks a bunch! Have a wonderful DAY!!!!!

 

After reading my local paper this morning in regards to an article, questioning the public who have faced foreclosure if they were forced into apartments. http://www.news-herald.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=19484758&BRD=1698&PAG=461&dept_id=21849&rfi=6 They asked for feedback. I found this rather ridiculous; I really wish our media would really start focusing on the positive ness of our areas.

 

As for Ohio there are some really great things happening such as mortgage companies that signed a deal on April 7, 2008 in hopes of stemming our foreclosure tide. http://www.ohiomba.org/ . There is less then 10% of our market that is actually in foreclosure. Can our media distinguish that the public would like to hear good news?

 

For those who may possibly be facing foreclosure, there are many options out there. I have faced foreclosure myself,before I became an agent I bought my first home only to find out that I got sucked in to sub-prime lending. Extremely embarrassed I let my house go. Since I have been educated and have been practicing real-estate a large portion of my clients have faced foreclosure. Short-Sales are always an option it saves you from the whole foreclosure process. There is nothing to be embarrassed about and my philosophy is that everything happens for a reason, and take a look at Donald Trump. Look at the number of times he has went bankrupt and got himself right back up. If there is a will there is a way.

 

 

 As I was sitting here today I received a call in from my broker in regards to a mortgage company I have been dealing via short-sale. I immediatly listened to the information and then looked it up myself. Excitement? This completely made my day. As of April 7. 2008 Governer Strickland announced that nine mortgage companies signed an agreement called " Compact to Help Ohioans Preserve Homeownership". This will reduce foreclosures in ohio. Yes, Ohio we are the only state that has this agreement in the nation. Congrats to us!! The principles these companies signed include the following:

 1. Engage in substantial and large-scale loan modification effort for ARM mortgage resets and subprime mortgages.

2. Indentify, evaluate and make good faith attempts to contact at-risk or defaulting borrowers soon as possible.

3. Modify loans to the extent permissible within existing fiduciary, contractual or other legal obligations and in accordance with prudent mortgage lending and services.

4. Create incentives for staff and foreclosure counsel to modify loans rather that foreclose.

5. Report progress to the Ohio Department of Commerce

6. Enter into a non-binding agreement with the State for some defined period of time "Agreements extend to June 30, 2009.

 The Following Loan Services Signed this Compact:

Carrington Mortgage Services

Citi Mortgage

GMAC

RESCAP

Homecomings Financial

HSBC

Ocwen Financial Corp

Option One

Saxon Mortgage

Litton Loan Servicing

Select Portfolia Servicing

Governer Strickland said if you are facing foreclosure please call the Ohio Save the Dream hotline. This call may save your home.

Moving to Eastlake only a few years ago from Ashtabula was a big change for me. A finnish girl always close to the water with a little bit of country still attached to her. I did not know much about my community until I became a Realtor. With great knowledge obtained from my brokers Stan and Linda Leff. I realized I would soon love where I live. I have gained great respect for the community I live in, realizing that over 300 years ago the Erie Indians village was Lakeshore Blvd. and reeves rd. In 1830 settlers from New York came and purchased acres for only $7 to 10 dollars. That completely blows my mind, imagine an acre for that price. In 1951 we became a city only populated by 7486 with a volunteer fire department managing by using borrowed equipement and renting trucks for a dollar a day. By the 1970's the population had grew to 20,000. As of 2006 the population still ranges about the same. I just recently moved to the absolutely beautiful Chagrin Lagoons in eastlake that I adore and it brings much of what I love and what I have been wanting to give to my family. I live right on the channel of the chagrin river, fishing and kayaking and so many beautiful sunsets. I feel at home and my finnish lifestyle will continue to grow and raise my family here.
