smith mountain lake: Is Aerial Photography a Great Marketing Tool in your Market? - 08/05/10 09:26 PM
Do you use Aerial Photos in your marketing. In our Smith Mountain Lake area, we find that what many call the backyard is our front yard or lakeside as we call it.

smith mountain lake: Taking Advantage of the FHA 203K Loan - 12/16/09 01:30 PM
A Loan Officer that I work with at Bank of America was discussing with me the benefits of 203K FHA Loan and I just wanted to pass this along to everyone.
The FHA 203K Loan Program has increased in its importance with so much of the present listing inventory consisting of bank REO. The 203(k) loan permits buyers to purchase and finance homes in their "as-is" condition, NO MATTER HOW POOR! Both the 203(k) loan and 203(k) streamline loan are now being offered by Bank of America.
The 203(k) loan is a renovation loan that permits buyers to finance homes that would … (0 comments)

smith mountain lake: What is Your Areas, Slogan, Logo or Special Feature...From the Star City of the South - 04/26/08 11:17 PM
Although the real estate market that I specialize in is; Smith Mountain Lake and the Lake is what we are known for, but my heart is also held by our adjacent City, Roanoke, Virginia.
Roanoke was originally called "Big Lick", but was later named Roanoke. What this area is truly known as is "The Star City of the South" Back many years ago, I think 1949, on top of Mill Mountain, This Giant Lighted Star was turned on. Anyone traveling through the beautiful Roanoke Valley along I-581 heading toward US 220, will see this Lighted Monument. It now carrys the Red, White and … (1 comments)

smith mountain lake: Where did that DOG go.... - 04/21/08 10:22 PM
After being in Real Estate over 20 years, I have some animal stories but I am sure I am not the only one. I especially remember the time that I showed a home and a Terrier, dashed out the door as I began to open the front door. Well this can be a rather unpredictable occurence that can truly slow down your showing schedule. You cannot call the Dog back, because you DO NOT KNOW ITS NAME? So you yell come DOG, Come hear DOG. Of course, this Dog does not know who you are yelling for or WHO YOU ARE, so … (11 comments)

smith mountain lake: Best Camera and Lens for Real Estate Agents - 04/21/08 09:57 PM
Last year I decided to buy a new digital camera, so the Nikon D40 was the chosen one. My reasoning was it came with two separate lens 200 and a wide angle 55 and was easy to use. So far this has been a great camera with one exception, when my husband dropped it and broke the Wide Angle lens and the Flash. So my invest- went a little further, I now have a new detachable flash and I also invested in One Lens that goes from 55 to 200. Makes life simpilier, not having to change lens from when I … (28 comments)
