Arizona - Home Prices Sliding Again

DORIS FREEMAN Realtor Hendersonville-Nashville (RELIANT REALTY LLC) — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 09:47:22 -0700

I woke this morning to the headlines in The Arizona Republic "Home Prices Sliding Again", what a depressing way to wake up.

I came out to Arizona for my Aunt's funeral, (Why else would anyone come to Arizona in August). Although I love this state the temperatures at this time of year are hard to adjust to, I prefer to visit in December through April.

The newspaper states that "indicators are forecasting a housing 'double dip'". Just when everyone thought it was safe to try and sell.

This was a very good and interesting article so: Go to the Arizona Republic, Sunday, August 15, 2010 front page and read the article by Catherine Reagor.

It appears that if you are in the market to buy, now is the time in Arizona, so Arizona Homebuyers call your local Realtor and enjoy the price breaks.

Tennesse, it's only 30 days away

DORIS FREEMAN Realtor Hendersonville-Nashville (RELIANT REALTY LLC) — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 15:34:42 -0700

Crime Reports

DORIS FREEMAN Realtor Hendersonville-Nashville (RELIANT REALTY LLC) — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 13:02:57 -0700

Crime Reports is an official crime and sex offender data website. Not all cities are currently using it, however if your city is, you have all the information from your local police department so you can get the most accurate, official information available.

Track crime in your neighborhood with CrimeReports. It is very user friendly you can sort crime by type, date, or distance from a specified location. Crime types, areas, sex offenders, you can receive email alerts, print view with marker on map.

As a realtor you can extend your understanding of local crime with the analytice view, with printable, interactive charts and graphs.

So why not get started and see if your city is using Crime Reports. It just so happens my city is NOT on the list but I checked my relatives in Jackson, TN and viewed the program, it is Great!

IS YOUR COMPANY MILITARY FRIENDLY?

DORIS FREEMAN Realtor Hendersonville-Nashville (RELIANT REALTY LLC) — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 11:30:17 -0700

What is a military friendly company? It's more than having collections for toys at Christmas or flying your flag proudly or tieing a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree. Not that we should stop doing this but maybe we need to do more.

There are many types of military we can serve, the reserve, guardsmen, how about the support of the families with deployed spouses, or the newly seperated from the service with or without service related injuries.

We need to become more military friendly, not because it will bring in more closings but it's the right thing to do!

How about starting a e-mail list of your hometowns's service men and women keeping them up on what is going on in their community.

Have a company picnic this summer inviting ALL military related persons and the general public to help you Thank them for their service.

There are over 200 nationwide companies that offer military discounts, compile a list and let those companies and your military related families know about them.

Create a line of communication, so these men and women and their families know you care and are there for them.

And of course these families will have unique real estate related problems, we MUST as Realtors consider these problems and leans how to assist them.

LET'S SEE A LITTLE MORE RED, WHITE AND BLUE. I believe with the help of our active rain partners we can come up with many more ideas.

LET"S HEAR FROM YOU!

There's Never Been A Better Time to Work with Buyers

DORIS FREEMAN Realtor Hendersonville-Nashville (RELIANT REALTY LLC) — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 19:40:20 -0700

The Homebuyer Tax Credit is now ,over and you think the buyers have all gone into hibernation.

Okay, so you think life as you knew it is over, but what a great time to dust off your old marketing strategies and get out there.

How about widening you networking sphere with things like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn. But don't forget the face-to-face networking.

Or get your ABR Certification(Accredited Buyer Representative) and spread the word that you have many new tools available to assist your buyers.

Go to new sites like the HUD or Fannie Mae Foreclosures sites, use something besides the MLS to find homes for your buyers, everyone wants a bargan.

www.homepath.com or www.HudHouses.com

Dust off your farming list and send out some NEW information and make it look exciting!

AND REMEMBER "TODAY IS THE DAY TO BUY A HOME", IT CAN'T GET ANY BETTER, LOW INTEREST RATES, SELLERS WILLING TO NEGOIATE AND/OR PAY CLOSING CLOSTS, AND WHEN NECESSARY USE THE SHORT SALE.

A short sale is a WIN-WIN , buyers get a deal and sellers move their home.

Oh, those Dear Deers

DORIS FREEMAN Realtor Hendersonville-Nashville (RELIANT REALTY LLC) — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 17:51:58 -0700

No more Bami Syndrome for this girl, Oh, those darling little "Bambi's" they are devoring my garden.

We live in a large subdivision ( like in surrounded by homes) near Old Hickory Lake and the deer do roam, right into my back yard.

Our beautiful garden which surrived the 2010 Nashville Flood. May not survive those "dear deer" they have found us and they think they have an open invitation to our tomato plants. They must not like bell peppers or grapes, because they haven't touched them.

Our tomato plants on the outher hand they have discovered. They were loaded and we were just waiting for them to turn red and with so many blossoms we just knew we'd be in the tomatoes all Summer. We now have ONE (1) yes just one green tomato left and most of the blossums are gone.

But we shall survive, we just put up a 5 foot netted fence around our garden, we'll see if they break it down tonight. We have also added a motion light to go off. I really hope this works.

NEW SHORT SALE GUIDELINES

DORIS FREEMAN Realtor Hendersonville-Nashville (RELIANT REALTY LLC) — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 11:51:01 -0700

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have issured some guidelines for short sales. They are similar to those issued by the Treasurey Department but have included some time limits for lenders.

The Treasury Department plan. HAFA (Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives) which went into effect in April 2010.

The Treasury department plan:

Sets time limits for lenders to approve or reject Short Sale requests
(10 days)
It limits subordinate lien-holders from interfering with the process
(no more than $6,000)
Their are incentives for borrowers and lenders for completing the process
(up to $3000 to borrowers)
and streamlines the documentation necessary for process

Lenders must institute the Fannie and Freddie guidelines by August 1, 2010.

Both plans borrowers are released from future liability for the primary mortgage debt.

Check with your/the mortgage loan servicer for more information, if you/or your client need assistance with these programs.

ARE YOU PAYING TO MUCH?

DORIS FREEMAN Realtor Hendersonville-Nashville (RELIANT REALTY LLC) — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 13:16:59 -0700

For sunscreen that is. Did you know that a SPF of 30 doesn't offer twice as much protection as SPF 30?

SPF of 15 blocks 94% of UVB rays, SPF 30 blocks 97% and SPF 45 blocks 98%. But the cost of the new SPF's of 50-55-70 and even over 100, as the SPF's increase so does the pricing. Higher SPF's normally cost more but are not necessarily worth it.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, they suggest SPF 30 "because they know your're not going to put enough on."

SPF only measures one type of sun protection. Sunlight consists of about 95% UVA this is what casues skin cancer and wrinkles and 5% UVB which causes sunburn.

So have fun this summer but don't forget the sunblock!

BUY A FORECLOSURE

DORIS FREEMAN Realtor Hendersonville-Nashville (RELIANT REALTY LLC) — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 21:46:03 -0700

We've all seen the papers about so many foreclosures, HUD foreclosures, bank foreclosures, it is definitely unfortunate, but it's also an opportunity for BUYERS.

You've also seen the ads, Handy-man Special or Great Fixer-Upper, needs tender loving care, or maybe NO FHA contracts because it needs to many repairs.

You also know the catch-22, the bank won't lend you the money to buy the house until the repairs are done

and you can't do the repairs until you buy the home, and you don't have the donwpayment, closing cost

money and enough money to do the repairs. Well, if you want to get that great house at a great price, its

time to find a Buyers Representative with Rehabilitation Mortgage Experience that knows which lenders

do these loans and how they work and how to make it work, (there are Very Few of both around).

There is a government insured program that has been around for years that is available to the homebuyers that intend to occupy the new home. Its an easy program nad of course you must be able to qualify for the loan as you would any other governament loan.

This program is available to anyone regardless of age, so if you are a senior and need to remodel for disabilites, this program can be used for a refinance.

Under this program you may finance up to $35,000 in improvements to the property, including but not limited to:

Repair or Replace: Windows and Doors - Roofs - Gutters - HVAC units - painting - waterproffing basements - septic or well - Purchase appliances, Remodel for persons with disabilities - weatherization - remodel kitchens - and many more...

You may purchase HUD forclosure homes including one that states it is uninsurable, provided the repairs qualify as eligible work items.

If you have been discouraged about purchasing a home that needs repairs, either by a real estate agent, lender or otherwise. STOP, don't listen, you can do it, yes it will mean a commitment from you to get your loan in order, with of course help from our team, there is additional effort and paperwork to be done, but isn't owning a home or your own at a great price worth it?

Remember, Don't Procrastinate Don't Wait...Buy Now...

--- prices, even in a slow market rise faster than you can raise your credit score,

or save an extra few thousand for a down payment ---

THDA - Tennessee Housing Development Agency has a plan that may help homeowner's.

According to a memorandum sent to All THDA Originating Agents on September 29,2008.

BEGIN QUOTE

"EFFECTIVE WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2008, THDA WILL IMPLEMENT A NEW MORTGAGE CALLED GREAT SAVE. TO QUALIFY FOR THIS REFINANCE LOAN, THE MORTGAGE LOAN TO BE RE-FINANCED MUST BE AN ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE (ARM) LOAN MADE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND BEFORE JANUARY 1, 2008, THAT, AS DETERMINED BY THDA, WOULD BE REASONABLY LIKELY TO CAUSE A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP TO THE BORROWER IF NOT RE-FINANCED ("QUALIFIED ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE LOAN"). THIS PROGRAM WILL EXPIRE DECEMBER 31, 2010."

END QUOTE

This program will not save all Tennessee homeowners in trouble, but for a great number of people facing problems with their mortgage it may be the program that saves the day.

It will help stabilize the lives of those with outrageous adjustable-rate-mortgages, with a 30 year fixed rate loan, and save them from a foreclosure.

FOLLOW-UP October 7, 2008

Since I originally posted this blog (less than a week ago), I have had an enormous amount of phone calls and e-mails, after referring them to a lender that specializes in government loans, I have found that many are NOT qualified for various reasons.

This means to many, that they will need to sell their home before foreclosure. This is a very stressful and confusing time in someones life.

My daughter and I have decided that we need to help persons in this situation and the only way we can do that is offer anyone a Full Service Listing at a Discounted Price, with no discount in services.

We realize that no one wants to have to sell their home, but in life it does happen so with a sad heart we are offering our services to you, with a promise that we will do all we can to assist you in your current situation.

Feel free to contact us for a private non-oligatory meeting to discuss your situation, your privacy is quaranteed. Please mention THDA Great Save when you call.

ITS PUMPKIN TIME IN TENNESSEE

DORIS FREEMAN Realtor Hendersonville-Nashville (RELIANT REALTY LLC) — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 11:53:12 -0700

Pumpkin Time in Tennessee is always great fun and marks the beginning of fall colors.

You can find a Tennessee Pumpkin Patch

in almost every County in Tennessee.

Sumner County Farms has at least 7 that I know of.

The age old QUESTION, how do I pick a pumpkin that will last? Here are a few tips.

Look for a pumpkin that still has it stem and if possible is green and is firmly attached, preferably 1-2 inches long. If the stem is missing or brown it may already be beginning to break down.

Don't buy one that has soft spots, mold or warts, yes pumpkins get warts, they are caused by a virus it doesn't affect us or the fruit, it just won't last as long.

If you paint rather than carve, it will last much longer also.

If you are looking for a great way to spend quality time with the family an afternoon at one of the many Pumpkin Patches should be your destination.

They have a lot of unique outdoor fun and an atmosphere where families of all ages can relax and enjoy the great outdoors together. Some of the activities you can find at various Pumpkin Patches are Corn Mazes, Fall Festivals, hay Rides, Cow Trains, Barnyard Animals, Picnic Areas, Gift Shops, Petting Zoos, Playgrounds..

2. It's Affordable in Tennessee!

Among all of the negative news stories that crossed our desks last week, one news item actually was a "win" for one Tennessee city:

*** BEGIN QUOTE ***
The cost of buying and maintaining a home is pretty reasonable if you live in certain Midwestern or Southern cities, according to Forbes magazine's new report.

To determine America's least expensive places to own a home, Forbes used data from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2008 American Community Survey, released Tuesday.

The survey reported the 2007 median monthly housing costs in the country's metro areas with a population over 65,000. Housing costs include monthly mortgage payments, real estate taxes, various insurances, utilities, fuels, mobile home costs and condominium fees.

Here are the top-10 cheapest cities to own a home:

1. Cleveland: $978 a month
2. Columbus, Ohio: $1,060 a month
3. Pittsburgh: $1,187 a month
4. San Antonio, Texas: $1,216 a month
5. Indianapolis: $1,232 a month
6. NASHVILLE: $1,256 A MONTH
7. New Orleans: $1,296 a month

Tennessee Farm Fresh

DORIS FREEMAN Realtor Hendersonville-Nashville (RELIANT REALTY LLC) — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 23:14:05 -0700

Farmers markets are more than just vegetable stands today, they are a gathering place for the locals to sell their goods at fair prices without having to pay large fees for a store fronts, agriculture costs are rising and that means higher costs to the consumer so when visiting your local farmers markets or the actual farm you know that you are not only getting quality, fresh foods but usually at a lower cost, your food is not picked green and ripened in the grocery store.

Compare Hospitals, before you go

DORIS FREEMAN Realtor Hendersonville-Nashville (RELIANT REALTY LLC) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 11:56:45 -0700

Here is a website everyone should have on their favorites list.

It's the Hospital Compare Website: http://www.hospitalcompare.hhs.gov

According to the site it was created by the efforts of The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which is an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and members of the Hospital Quality Alliance (HQA).

This website is a great tool for anyone using the services of a hospital, including Medicare patients, but don't use this as your sole source of information, consider your doctors recommendations and do research if you have the time before entering a hospital.

You can find general information from a Hospital Checklist, to your rights as a patient. They also have a section to see what actual patients have had to say about their care in certain hospitals. You can find out the results of certain care and treatments.

I'm sure there are many more websites similar to this one, but after going through this one it really has some great information and could be used by families, their doctors and nurses and even hospitals themselves to see how they rate with other facilities.

I hope you find the information on this site as informative as I did, I plan on adding this site to my Real Estate website at:

Water Heaters

DORIS FREEMAN Realtor Hendersonville-Nashville (RELIANT REALTY LLC) — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 18:22:47 -0700

I went to the Nashville Home & Remodeling Show this last weekend. It had some great new and interesting things for the home.

Here's the one I was really impressed with, now it's been around for awhile, but I had never really looked at one or talked to someone about them.

It's The Tankless Water Heater

You get endless hot water, you only heat the water you need, when you need it, you can get 240 or more gallons per hour with NO recovery time.. This has got to be the wave of the future and talk about "Green". You can get them for use with gas or electric

They say that you can get up to 40%, yes I said 40% energy savings. That's because when there is NO demand for hot water the tankless unit shouts down and uses no energy. And you don't have to worry about the tank leaking and flooding your home.

Now you can take a shower, run the washing machine and dishwasher and still have hot water.

They are so small and take up very little room, not much bigger than a suitcase, not the big one a carry on.

So homeowner's next time you are in the market for a water heater, check these out. They cost a little more than a conventional water heater, but with the savings you should be able to re-coup the extra cost and don't forget no more cold showers.

BROKERS LICENSE

DORIS FREEMAN Realtor Hendersonville-Nashville (RELIANT REALTY LLC) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:25:21 -0700

I got my letter today, "Congratulations on obtaining your BROKER license." I took the additional classes and my test in August.

Of course, I now have 3 years to complete an additional 120 hours of approved post license real estate education. I think I'll get my CRS or GRI or both.

With the constant changes that occur in laws, rules or policies, I was really glad I decided to complete my broker requirements. The updated information on these items are always needed.

SELLER'S DO YOU HAVE IT?

DORIS FREEMAN Realtor Hendersonville-Nashville (RELIANT REALTY LLC) — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 11:59:20 -0700

SELLER'S DO YOU HAVE IT?

Curb Appeal That Is?

So you've decided to sell your home.

Before, listing put on your BUYER'S hat and take a walk around the outside of the whole house, and take extra special attention to the front, stand on the front porch for a few minutes and see what the buyer will see. Don't forget to take a note pad; you are going to need it.

You have made the decision to sell your home and your real estate agent will do everything they can to sell your home, but there are a lot of things you can do to HELP.

Your home will NOT sell if you can't get the buyer's to look at the inside, so WHY are we talking about the OUTSIDE? Because, with great curb appeal we as agents can get them to look at the inside.

When looking around your home WHAT, if you were a buyer would you dislike about the home? Write ALL of the things you can think about down, pick your exterior APART, because that's what a buyer is going to do.

Now, go over the list and see if many of the items are just small, simple and easy to remedy items, (i.e., shutter needs adjusting, painted, screens are torn, bushes are overgrown, sidewalk needs cleaning), you get the point. Many of the items on your list are not expensive to remedy and will take more time than money. Take a weekend and have the whole family pitch in, clean out the flower gardens (nothing in them is better than weeds), trim the bushes back, wash the front door (I know you never use it, but guess what, that's how the buyer will enter your property and they will stand there looking around while the agent is getting the key.

I usually don't suggest that you do the little tasks first, but when selling a home, sometimes when they are taken care of the larger items don't look so bad.

One large item I strongly suggest you look at ESPECIALLY if your garage door opens to the street, you guessed it, THE GARAGE DOOR, if it is dented, doesn't open and close properly, badly in need of paint, or just OLD, You need to REPLACE it, they come in all sorts of designs, sizes and prices, you would be surprised how a new updated garage door can improve your curb appeal and add value to your home, also, add a automatic garage door opener is you don't have one.

Feel free to go to our web site and order one or more of the many FREE sellers reports we have available to you.

SINGLE PEOPLE NEED HOMES TOO!

DORIS FREEMAN Realtor Hendersonville-Nashville (RELIANT REALTY LLC) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 19:00:36 -0700

DON'T PROCRASTNATE - BUY NOW

Single people need homes too.

This is for anyone looking for a home, but single people will have additional items to address.

If you are buying a home with a friend it is different than buying a home with a spouse or a life partner. So before, you go forward make sure you have discussed everything, especially the hard questions, have some very frank discussions about each of your expectations.

Or if you can afford to do so go so-lo.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So you want to buy a home? You've made a commitment with yourself to purchase a home, well, that's just the start.

So, let's get started: Get out a pen and pad; you need to write a few things down.

First: And this is before you shop for a Realtor or a Home, write down WHY you want to buy a home. What does this mean to you? Has this been a life long dream?

The big home with a white picket fence and a dog, isn't for everyone, think about what type of home you would like, large lot, small lot (do you like to mow)? Write down everything you think about, you can organize it LATER. This will take longer for some than others, it is because of the tax write-offs, write it down, or because you would like to have lots of pets, whatever comes to mind, write it down.

•· Next, decide when you would like to move.

Second: This step is a little easier than the first, but almost more important, FIND A REALTOR

Don't: just call Aunt Suzie or Uncle John if they don't work as:

FULL TIME FULL SERVICE REALTORS, also find out if the Realtor is an

ABR (Accredited Buyers Representative).

Make an appointment with several Realtors and talk with them see if you and that person think the same about important things and ask yourself:

Could I tell this person important information and feel comfortable that they would keep it confidential and be loyal to me.

When you can answer YES to this question, you have found your REALTOR.

Ask them if they would be willing to represent you in your home purchase, and sign a Buyers Representative Agreement. Remember that loyalty is a two-way street; you need to be as truthfull and honest with your agent as you expect them to be with you.

•· Now it gets a LITTLE easier.

Next: With the help of your chosen REALTOR, you will need to find a Mortgage Lender, and apply for your loan, (YES, do this BEFORE you look at homes).

Once you have applied for your loan, the loan officer will tell the maximum amount of home you qualify for, with the down payments and assets you disclosed to them. This is considered pre-qualification.

NOW: It's time to start looking for Your Home, your agent and you need to discuss your want and needs to determine your priorities.

When pre-viewing homes be sure to tell your agent what you like and also what you don't like is just as important.

Remember, Don't Procrastinate Don't Wait...Buy Now...

prices, even in a slow market rise faster than you can raise your credit score, or save an extra few thousand for a down payment.
