Be Grateful

These real estate times can be frustrating, our days can be challenging. If we start each day by thinking negative, our whole day will be negative. The conversations we have in our minds goes on and on and on. Make that endless loop a positive one. I believe that if we make it a practice to start each day by thinking about 5 things you are grateful for, our days will be more enjoyable and productive.

5 Things I am grateful for:

My health

My family

Iced Tea

The close buddy I had an adult beverage with last night

Get creative with your offers

Ben Balsbaugh (PMZ Real Estate)

Here in the Central Valley, our inventory levels have fallen dramatically. We have more buyers than homes to sell them so we are seeing 4 - 10 offers on everything. I viewed a home last week that had 52 offers on it. Obviously this can be a very…

Gift Funds

Ben Balsbaugh (PMZ Real Estate)

Mortgage guidelines continue to tighten, requiring larger and larger down payments. Because of this, we are starting to see more buyers come in with gift funds from relatives. From my understanding, there are some strict rules regarding these gifts…

Ben Balsbaugh (PMZ Real Estate)

What is a short-sale? A short-sale simply means a property is being marketed for less than what is owed to the bank. There are many individuals in this boat, they are attempting to sell their home for less than they owe. For example, they owe $300…
