Caught Between a Short Sale and Foreclosure - Limbo Land - 01/27/09 10:08 AM
I have a first time buyer who wants to close before the end of tax season to get his first time buyer credit.  We had an offer on a home which had a bad inspection and they decided to move on.  No problem - so many choices - or so you would think.  So, I have a buyer with a very high credit score, pre-approved with down payment & closing costs who has found another home he really wants.  This should be a Realtor's dream come true in this Buyer's market.  So, what's the problem. . .
After moving on from the previous home, … (5 comments)

Ferndale Michigan 2008 Market Analysis Compared to 2007 - 01/12/09 06:50 PM
The following is an end of the year market analysis Ferndale Michigan.  It compares only residential homes sold in 2007 with 2008 to determine the # of homes sold for the year and the increase/decrease in average sold price.  It also distinguishes how many homes were recorded to be Bank Owned as opposed to private owned.   Total number of Homes Sold include private, bank owned and short sales.  In the latter part of 2008, Realtors were required to categorize ownership status so figures may not truly reflect the actual number of bank owned for 2007 and part of 2008.  To insure that most leases were not included in … (0 comments)

The Most Amazing Video - Using Re-Twit'd Application - 01/10/09 06:45 PM
I have been posting a lot about Twitter and why you should join and all the great applications I find as I explore the Twittersteam.  This evening, after shoveling snow, getting my showing appointments made and my listing presentation complete (Not much Twittering tomorrow), I indulged in an hour or so of Twitter.  I found a new application called re-Twit'd.  This application lets you see what's hot on Twitter based on how frequently something is retweeted.  You can find the most popular tweets by most retweeted in hours, day, week and fortnight.  When I checked it out, there was a retweet saying "OMG … (5 comments)

Twirl - Tweetdeck - Twitterific: Which is Best? - 01/09/09 05:44 PM
I have been deeply immersed in Twitter since I joined over a month ago.  In my first post about Twitter for Beginners - On the Fence, I talked about how I avoided it for well over a year and am completely sold on how much value it provides.  Since then, I have been finding new applications, ways to find people to follow and so much more.
As of this post, I am following 506 people with 446 following me.  There are different goals and philosophies on how many to follow and why you choose to follow who you do.  Clearly with over 500 … (8 comments)

I am usually shy at tooting my own horn about what I am up to but I am genuinely excited to have my efforts in creating videos recognized by RE/MAX--and they found out about it through ActiveRain!
Deborah Ball, RE/MAX Times Associate Editor called me when looking to write a story about the importance of video as a tool for Realtors.  Of course I was very excited and asked how she heard about me. She was reading posts in ActiveRain to find a RE/MAX agent who was utilizing video in their business.   It was a great interview where I very enthusiastically talked about the … (9 comments)
