      <title>Are You Living Under the Cloud of an Unmanageable Mortgage</title>
      <description>&lt;div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #222222;"&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;An Unmanageable Mortgage Clouds Everything&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When families are tapped out financially and faced with the uncertainty of not knowing how much longer they'll be able to stay in their home, the prospect of planning or having a positive outlook on the future seems out of the question.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many financially strapped homeowners feel frozen in action and it's no wonder, but here's the most important point that you need to know:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Even though millions of homes have been lost to foreclosure, you and those you care about absolutely do not need to add to that statistic.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More help is available now than ever before.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a real estate professional who has earned the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, I am adept at navigating among the full range of solutions for helping financially distressed homeowners to make a fresh start.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you, or someone you care about is looking to get out from under the cloud of unmanageable mortgage contact me today for a confidential consultation!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All my best,&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>FHA Lifts Ban on Flipping Houses</title>
      <description>&lt;h1&gt;FHA Lifts Ban on Flipping Houses&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With inventories higher then desired the&amp;nbsp;FHA Lifts Ban on Flipping Houses in 2012. How long they will keep this in play is unknown but for the foreseeable future investors are being encouraged by the &lt;a href="http://www.dsnews.com/articles/fha-waives-anti-flipping-rule-through-year-end-to-speed-reo-sales-2012-01-03" title="DNS News FHA" target="_self"&gt;FHA to purchase homes&lt;/a&gt; and if desired sell them prior to the 90 day hold previously required. With the&amp;nbsp;FHA Lifting the Ban on Flipping Houses many more homes will be an opportunity to the investment community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a CDPE I pride myself on the knowledge and expertise to help investors make informed decisions on &lt;a href="http://www.247realtyservice.com/remaxga/index.asp?acc=161008&amp;amp;p=buildsavedsearch.asp&amp;amp;searchid=56589808" title="St Simons Island" target="_self"&gt;real property in coastal Georgia&lt;/a&gt;. If you are looking for a smart investment vehicle for 2012, real property may just be one of the best one available for not only the big investment groups but more so for the person looking to get involved in the market at a low cost. With prices where they are and interest rates at an all time low, buying a FHA/HUD home with FHA financing is an open opportunity for investors at all levels.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All my best,&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Freddie Mac Answers to congressional hearings yesterday</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;DNS News reports from FREDDIE MAC as they answer to the accusations thrown at them&amp;nbsp;in the hearings on Capital Hill yesterday. As I watched CSPAN I could not believe what the Congressmen where asking. They wanted to give Freddie and Fannie more help by dictating to the individual states how they are to handle the foreclosure process. When will Congress learn to just get our of the way? These people have no idea what is going on. Maybe congress should be told to come to more Five Star conferences and training seminars to see just what is being done by the Real Estate Community to help borrowers and get the technical training needed to make informed questions and decisions.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All my best,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;designation, having completed extensive training in foreclosure avoidance, with a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;with the possibility of foreclosure, the skills and education amassed by Leavy will help &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Short sales allow the distressed homeowner to repay the mortgage at the price that the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;and more lenders are willing to consider short sales because they are much less costly &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;than foreclosures.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Today, more than 13 percent of homeowners are delinquent on their mortgage or in the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;foreclosure process. This is occurring across all price ranges, and the fastest-growing &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;category of homes in foreclosure is the luxury home market.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The CDPE designation has been invaluable as I work with homeowners and lenders on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;complicated short sales,&amp;rdquo; said Leavy. &amp;ldquo;It is so rewarding to be able to help families save &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;said that agents such as Ed Leavy with the CDPE Designation have valuable perspective &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;These experts better understand market conditions than the average agent, and can help &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>You Can Change the Course!</title>
      <description>&lt;h1&gt;You &lt;em&gt;Can&lt;/em&gt; Change the Course!&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you feel like shifting economic winds have not been in your favor lately, you are in good company. More than 6 million homeowners nationwide are in some stage of foreclosure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If this is the case with you or someone you care about, you are all too aware of the stress and uncertainty that accompanies notices of default, unwanted phone calls and offers of help that turn out to be no help at all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fact is, the last thing your bank wants is to foreclose on your home. Banks are willing to negotiate, and you need someone on your side who is adept at negotiating with banks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a real estate professional who has earned the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, I am tapped into the best solutions for helping financially distressed homeowners to make a fresh start. If you'd like to learn more, I invite you to access my free report: "&lt;strong&gt;Change the Course!&lt;/strong&gt; And Navigate Away from an Unmanageable Mortgage."&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>USAA MOVERS ADVANTAGE</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every Buyer should be able to see this post before they sign a buyers agreement with a USAA or NFCU Realtyplus agent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div id="reblogging_tag"&gt;Via &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/1210560/usaa-movers-advantage"&gt;The Real Estate Place&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;USAA Movers Advantage&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;spent weeks trying to become a REALTOR for&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;USAA&amp;nbsp;movers advantage&lt;/strong&gt;. Well, I was in for a rude awaking, and yes I said RUDE!&amp;nbsp; The program is geared to put money back into the buyers pocket which is&amp;nbsp;great&amp;nbsp;for the home buyer. Only not so good for the&amp;nbsp;REALTOR involved, it is a referral program from &lt;strong&gt;USAA MOVERS ADVANTAGE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;to get money to have for a refund for their clients.&amp;nbsp;The&amp;nbsp;REALTOR&amp;nbsp;involved in&amp;nbsp;the referral process&amp;nbsp;cannot disclose to anyone how the program works.&amp;nbsp;Why, because &lt;strong&gt;USAA movers advantage&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;do not wont their clients or anyone else to know the facts. Now that just&amp;nbsp;dont sound Right!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;USAA&amp;nbsp;movers advantage&lt;/strong&gt; gives&amp;nbsp;their clients&amp;nbsp;money back, if they use &lt;strong&gt;USAA movers advantage&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;The Realtor&amp;nbsp;that is referred to them has agreed to give&amp;nbsp;20-35% of their commission back to USAA, who in return gives "PART"&amp;nbsp;of it back to their client. Yes I said PART of it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;As a Realtor I strive very hard to make the buying and selling process as stress free as possible for my clients. It&amp;nbsp;upsets me&amp;nbsp;to know that &lt;strong&gt;USAA movers advantage&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;nbsp;is the one claiming to be putting&amp;nbsp;the money back into the buyers pocket.&amp;nbsp;When in all actuality it the REALTOR who is giving the BONUS.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;USAA movers advantage&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; gives only a portion to the buyers and keep the rest.. Now that doesn't sound Fair.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;In Alabama and Mississippi , as a Realtor, we are not allowed to give away&amp;nbsp;cash as a gift or bonus to an unlicensed person.&amp;nbsp;So is USAA movers advantage a real estate company licensed.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;I urge&amp;nbsp;buyers to find&amp;nbsp;a REALTOR they like, trust and have confidence in. One that&amp;nbsp;will work for their&amp;nbsp;best interest, you will end up better off if your REALTOR works for you and does not have&amp;nbsp;to give up most of their commission.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Buyers say they are working with &lt;strong&gt;USAA movers adavantage&lt;/strong&gt;, but&amp;nbsp;the advantage appears to be&amp;nbsp;more for&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;USAA Movers Advantage&lt;/strong&gt; than the buyer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;I have helped several Military families find and sell homes in the Mississipi, Alabama Gulf Coast area. I would love to help you too.

      <title>Sales in St Marys Georgia are on the rise</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Three homes have closed escrow&amp;nbsp;in the month of March in &lt;a href="http://www.kingslandgeorgia.com/"&gt;Kingsland&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.stmaryswelcome.com/"&gt;St Marys&lt;/a&gt; and the rest of Camden County GA.&amp;nbsp; We currently have only 502 single-family homes on the market.&amp;nbsp; Our average DOM is only 185.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are fortunate to be way ahead of the curve under the current state of the union.&amp;nbsp; I attribute this to our exceptional climate, location to major international airports in Jacksonville Florida and Brunswick GA.&amp;nbsp; Our proximity to Federal law Enforcement Training Center and the NSB Kings Bay; which are consistently hiring and increasing employment.&amp;nbsp; We have a state of the art hospital complex, &lt;a href="http://www.sghs.org/body.cfm?id=78"&gt;Camden Hospital&lt;/a&gt; and other hospitals such as the &lt;a href="http://www.mayoclinic.org/jacksonville/"&gt;Mayo Clinic&lt;/a&gt; and Baptist &lt;a href="http://www.e-baptisthealth.com/"&gt;Medical Center&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With all of this at our disposal, it is of no wonder our real estate market is so strong.&amp;nbsp; Add to this the &lt;a href="http://www.camdenhomesource.com/"&gt;best builders&lt;/a&gt; on Coastal Georgia are right here in Camden County.&amp;nbsp; So, if you have any clients looking to relocate to a better climate, relaxed southern atmosphere in the heart of Historic Coastal Georgia, please give me a call. &lt;a href="http://www.247realtyservice.com/"&gt;912-552-3436&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;

      <title>Custom Built Homes</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Now is the time to build. Cost are at an all time low.&amp;nbsp; Builders are not in a hurry to make any spec homes and their inventory is getting smaller. They are now actively pursuing new customers. They are offering land/home packages and are eager to build on your existing lots.&lt;/p&gt;
