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 … (0 comments)

Leslie Appleton Young (Chief Economist and VP of The California Associaton of Realtors) posted an analysis on rismedia that I found very exciting. In her words "If You Currently believe the Internet is the #1 factor to Real-Estate" YOU ARE RIGHT!!! The statistics below are trends since 2000. "If Your Not On The Internet You Will Not Be Found" - 94% of Internet buyers found their agent on a website - 63% Found them on an Internet Search - 0% of Internet buyers found their agent through brochures, flyer's, yard signs or mailers. - In 2000, 28% of people said they used the Internet as a … (8 comments)

I think alot of times many realtors get discourged … (0 comments)
