It still amazes me that when a person or a couple have decided they are Buying a Home or Seling a House sellers as well as buyers are hesitant about Using an Attorney.  Is buying a home or selling a house stressful?  I will let you make that decision.

 In order to reduce some of the stress for my buyers and sellers Attorney George Sprenger, Toledo Ohio, has agreed to provide an initial consultation for free.  George can be reached at 419.535.7444 or emailed him at gfsprenger@bex.net

Are you thinking about selling your house?  Are you thinking about buying a new home?

Could you use a little less stress in your life?  I hope the answers to all of these questions are yes.

1 in 10 people have missed a house payment.  This is a National Statistic that I recently heard about while talking with an associate..  To me that is a little mind blowing.  A short sale may be the answer.  The problem, and there is probably a multitude of reasons why, people do not contact a Realtor quick enough.  They usually wait until they get a foreclosure notice or worse yet a sheriff sale notice. They should be contacting a Realtor as soon as they have missed that first house payment due to a life changing event. 

I have just received a clear to close on a short sale in the Toledo Ohio area.  The date of the contract was 6-10-09.  You may think I am a little crazy, but I believe this is an area I want to start to focus on in my business. This short sale was with 2 creditors. Two make matters and a bit more complex, we received a quick approval by the secondary creditor and by the time we received the approval of the primary creditor the file of the secondary was turned over to a new secondary creditor. However, I and the other Realtor have worked very closely. The buyers lender Cecelia Jacobs at Bank of America, cecelia.jacobs@bankofamerica.com was instrumental in getting the "clear to close".

The first time home buyers are getting a great value on their new home.  Even the sellers are happy that they can now move on with their lives.

The reason why I want to focus on this area is I do not want to list bank owned properties.  They are a quicker sale than a short sale, but I like the idea of someone in a home, taking care of the home, the utilities are on, and maybe helping someone whose credit score will be lowered due to the short sale, but their credit will not receive the hit of a foreclosure.

I am currently in the process of developing a plan of action along with Bob Lohman of the Lohman Teamto make this process more streamline.  A more streamline process for not only us as Realtors, but the current home owners, the buyers, the creditors, the lenders and the attorneys.  It will be an interesting road, but one that I am looking forward to traveling.

This past year I have been Worm composing or Vermicomposting.  I have been using 2 bins in my basement.  I did not want to put a drain hole in the bottom because I felt it would attract gnats with the "tea" out in the open.

Last week I purchased a kerosene pump from the local farm and tractor store.  The cost was just a few dollars.  I then propped the bins on one side with a couple of bricks I had in my garage.  Next I used cardboard on the inside to try and keep the worms, and shredded paper away from the "tea".

This morning I went to the basement to add to the bins and to see how my new experiment was working. It worked great.  I was able to use the pump to drain the "tea" into a plastic tomato juice jar that I can reseal the lid.   The cardboard was a bit wet so I guess I am going to have to replace it when it becomes too soggy w/ the "tea".

I am looking for any great ideas on how to mix and use the "tea"?  I am also looking for any other ideas that can make harvesting easier than putting the bin contents on a plastic sheet in my back yard and separating out the worms.

I am currently looking for a OCR Program.  I hear there are free, easy to use programs available.  Can anyone help me. 

Let me give you a little history about myself.  I am currently taking a seizure medication to help prevent my hands from shaking.  My handwriting is getting so bad that at times I have a hard time reading my own writing.  This makes it extremely difficult when I have to write on real estate documents.  My company does have forms available on a computer program, but the letters and numbers do not come out in a uniform manner. 

I am currently thinking about purchasing a HP J4680 Office Jet All in One.  This is a printer, scanner, copier, and fax machine.I am told their is a computer program by Nuance Communications PDF 5 Professional program for $89.99 I would need to purchase.  With the HP J4680 I can scan documents with blank spaces onto my computer, and print letters and numbers in the appropriate spaces.  I was told there may be an OCR program that is free and would be easy to use.

Here is where I need the Active Rain Community.  I am looking for an easy to use and install program that will work with the HP J4680.  If someone has another alternative to the HP J4680 and a program that will fit my needs I am all ears. 

 I am 57 years old and a bit of a dinosaur that is trying to get up to speed with technology.

Let me thank everyone in advance for your help.
