This year has been particularly challenging for most of us due to many reasons but even in the darkest of moments there are things to be thankful for right?
I'm thankful that my family remained healthy and safe this year - even though I got swine flu earlier in November no one else in our home got it!

frisco home sales: TAKE YOUR OWN AERIAL PHOTOS! - 09/08/09 02:12 PM
I'm a lifelong RC airplane fan and have always wanted to be able to take photos from up high in the sky, but the practicality of placing a camera in your usual RC plane is only good if you want to take photos of the clubs flying site. What if you want to take an aerial shot of your house? You can't use a regular RC plane for that because they all fly too fast, and can actually be dangerous to other people if you have an accident. Also taking off or landing on a residential road is not only difficult … (5 comments)

frisco home sales: Are you really going to miss this chance to buy a home in Frisco Texas? - 08/18/09 12:49 PM
I'm seeing this more and more these days - the people who a couple of months ago who were saying
"Yeah, I'm going to buy a home now to take advantage of the great prices and the first time buyers tax
credit, I'd be crazy not to!" Well, its starting to become clear - you are going to miss the boat! It is
already past the middle of August, you haven't started talking to a Realtor, you don't really know what
your credit score is or if its going to be high enough to get you a mortgage approval, you may … (3 comments)

prices have stayed relatively level so far during this recession, and in fact according to home valuations by

frisco home sales: Tips for Real Estate Sellers in 2009: - 01/26/09 04:39 PM
Here are some important thing to know if you're thinking of selling your home - put together by Mirela Monte
Via Mirela Monte, Your Myrtle Beach Connection:
It doesn't matter what you need. What matters is what the market commands. If you need to sell your property for $250,000 and the current comps for similar properties indicate a value of $168,000, you need to price yours at $165,000. It doesn't matter if your home is the nicest one in the development. If it is and you price it correctly, it will sell the fastest.

frisco home sales: Good Credit? Current on mortgage? No Equity? - 01/12/09 05:09 PM
Here's some great advice as written by an associate of ours - Ken Montville.
Via Ken Montville -- the MD Suburbs of DC (RE/MAX Advantage Realty):
Recently, I've been running into folks who are not "in trouble" or "underwater" with their home. The payments are current. Income is good enough to keep the payments current. Yet, they can't sell their home! Or, at least, they can't sell it and make enough money to buy something else.
Why not?
Well, it seems that some folks saw the huge run up in home prices and decided to refinance and/or take some home equity … (1 comments)
