Do you Blog for points or for Profit? - 12/22/07 04:14 PM
Do you blog for points or profit?
When I first started I knew what I wanted to get out of AR. LEADS- I was in this strictly for the money. $$$
Organic leads that what I wanted and blogging is the best way to get them so I heard. 
I hired a PR company to assist last year.  That didn't work out.  I was going to have someone else write for me, effectivly creating me on the web. 
Show me the money google...                            
Many people find having a featured spot for a city or county as the goal, I did! 
More exposure equals more leads.

Seasons At Tradition- Wachovia writes another check this one for $10 million - 12/22/07 03:29 PM
Brian Sharkey can be reached at All Florida GMAC Real Estate at 772-335-1995 ext. 192 or via email Brian@BrianSharkeyRealEstate.com
Levitt and Sons could receive as much as $10 million from Wachovia to continue operating on a limited basis for up to 23 months.  In an article written by Sun-Sentinel writer Paul Owers Levitt and Sons will "complete and sell between 80 - 350 homes".  A rather large range for only $0 million I might add.
In any case what will happen to Seasons At Tradition?
Time will tell...

Mortgage Debt Forgiveness - You Don't Have To Pay - Short Sales Become More Appealing - 12/22/07 12:30 PM
Brian Sharkey can be reached at All Florida GMAC Real Estate at 772-335-1995 ext. 192 or via email Brian@BrianSharkeyRealEstate.com
Americans who lose their home to foreclosure or bankruptcy no longer have to pay income taxes on any debt forgiven by the bank. A bill signed by President Bush on 12/20/2007 voids the IRS practice of considering the bank's write-off on the loan a taxable form of income for the family that already lost a home.
It has been a hard sell advising clients about the short sale option.  I must preface this statement by saying my policy is disclose everything, every thing I know. Telling … (0 comments)

  Here is a common situation for agents rather then rewrite I've copyed the emails below, the names and numbers have been changed to hide the identity of the sellers.

Proposed Homestead Portability in Florida - 12/20/07 10:25 PM
Brian Sharkey can be reached at All Florida Realty Services Inc. at 772-335-1995 ext. 192 or via email Brian@BrianSharkeyRealEstate.com
Portability will allow Florida homestead owners to transfer all or some of their accumulated SAVE OR HOME (SOH) benefit to a new Florida home within two years.
The accumulated SOH benefit is difference between the just or market value and the assessed value of the homestead.
The "plan" is to have the same percentage of assessed value to just value as the previus homestead home before.
Without portability, when a homestead owner sold and purchase a new home the new homestead would be assessed at the market at … (0 comments)
