gerard maher: Mississippi Gulf Coast - a yankee's perspective - 02/25/11 09:07 AM
Hi All,
I just wanted to let you all know, that I was born and rasied in Brooklyn NY.  I lived there till I was almost
30.  I moved down to Gulfport, Mississippi because my (now ex)wife was from Slidell, LA and we wanted someplace close to her relatives, but more importantly, close to the water.  I have been down here now since 1992.
I love this place, the people are warm and friendly. They love a good time, and we have so many things on the coast. 
For example, we are open 24hours 7 days a weeks with multiple casinos … (2 comments)

gerard maher: Consumer Confidence is up 2nd month in a ROW! - 11/12/10 06:45 AM
Hi EVeryone!
 
The National Association of REALTORS research has disclosed today that consumer confidence for
the last week is up.  If it this trend continues throughout the month, this will be the second month in a row that consumer confidence has risen.  That's Great News!   That is the engine that drives our economy.
What people think and believe, generally foretells, whether they will be buying or not. IF they feel confident, then they buy more, raising up the general economy, which in turn generates, more production, more jobs, and a better economy.

gerard maher: Everyday-Go Forward and Do Something Positive - 10/27/10 05:52 AM
I know, I know...so simplistic.   But really, we have to remind ourselves of some basic things from time to time.  I am not sure, I think it Was Jim Rohn who said, "We need to get motivated and hear inspirational things everyday"   And the antagonist to his talk was saying something like, but I have already been there and done that.  And parahprasing I believe Jim Rohn say, " yes, it's kind of like bathing, you don't just do it once, I recommend it EVERY DAY!" 
So, I am reminding myself, and some of you that today is really very special … (2 comments)

gerard maher: Foreclosure Lists - 10/25/10 06:12 AM
HI,
My company Gulf Coast Realty offers Free Foreclosure lists to anyone that asks.  We offer a Free Home Buyer's Seminar too.  But, to really take advantage of the Foreclosures, I find that you have to be right on top of them.  The really good foreclosures that come on the market, aren't still available by the time the weekend comes.   I tell my clients, if they see something good, chances are, 20 other people are thinking the same thing.
The best thing to do, is to be on our email list that notifies you as soon as a property comes on … (0 comments)

gerard maher: Bank of America's Equator System - 06/09/10 05:19 AM
Has anyone done a short sale on the equator system?  Have you had a buyer walk away and hit the reject button?  Do you know what happens if they come back????
You start all over. Once you hit that reject button on Bank of America's equator system, you cannot submit any other offers on that property, re submit or anything until they reset the system. 
We rejected an offer for a buyer around May 21.  Today, June 9, I still cannot put another offer in on that property.   I have tried, I have talked with Equator and Bank of America.  We … (3 comments)

gerard maher: Juggling Life and making a difference-How do You? - 05/23/10 05:00 AM
WOW!!! AM I EXCITED! I just found out the best way to do real estate.   You see, coaches, seminars, gurus, all kinds of motivational speakers, give us the best way to do something. And...like america's craving for diets, and ways to get in shape, and ways to lose weight, and ways to do so many other things that will increase our wealth, reduce our fatigue, give us a glamourous lifestyle, etc.... they all profess to be THE WAY. They have the magic KEY. Just what has eluded all of mankind up to now.
But....a few days, weeks, or months later, people … (4 comments)

gerard maher: Do you use Video in Selling your homes? - 05/23/10 04:53 AM
HI EVeryone!
I was just wondering how many agents or home sellers use Video in selling their homes.  I know I have used videos on some homes, but not on all of them. 
Have most of you developed a channel for home selling on youtube?
Do you video all your properties or just some.  What kind or response are you getting.
 
I believe that videos and youtube are becoming more and more important, but I wonder what type of response you get from home buyers.
Let me know how it is working for you
Thanks

From Year to date 2009 (Jan 1- May 21 2009) versus Year to date 2010 (Jan 1- May 21 2010)

we find that the Overall Median Price of homes has gone down from $135,000  in 2009 to $124,000
in 2010.  So prices have been declining steadily, but I believe in another post, I will show that they may have bottomed out in March of … (0 comments)
