So you are ready to buy.... Now What?? - 05/19/09 07:34 AM
So you know you are ready to buy your first house. But now you don’t know which way to go. Who do you work with? Do you get a Mortgage broker first and how do I find one?
 

Most people have friends who know a REALTOR or who have worked with one. My first advice is to ask your friends and family members to help you with that one. Its better to go with someone you know has worked with a friend, better references that way.

Not a week goes by that we don't read a blog post about a contract that fell apart due to a loan officer's last minute advice that the buyer doesn't qualify.  Sometimes the contract has been accepted and the burden is then on the BUYER'S AGENT to advise the listing agent that, "SORRY, the loan officer … (0 comments)

The Buyer's Market: It's Over-Rated - 05/05/09 08:42 PM

Via Jeff Dowler ~ Carlsbad Real Estate ~ 760-840-1360 (RE/MAX Associates):
The media has been telling us it's a buyer market for some time. The real estate community talks about it too. Everyone seems to believe it.
I think the Buyer's Market is over-rated. 
Before you get your britches in a bunch, hear me out. 
Saying it's a buyer's market, as a general rule, overlooks those markets, and niches, where this is clearly not the case.  
Calling it a buyer's market gives buyers a false sense of security. They think they are always in the driver's seat, calling all the shots, and … (0 comments)

Via Missy Caulk-Ann Arbor- Realtor(R)- Ann Arbor Real Estate (Keller Williams-Ann Arbor):
Tuesday my husband was given a pink slip from Belleville High School. He is history teacher and social studies teacher. He is tenured.

Last year at Belleville High School, (where he teaches) they didn't let enough teachers go so in October after the enrollment count they had to redo classes.   Mike was not one of them.

Another Real Estate deal in Coral Springs, Fl - 05/02/09 03:01 PM
This past week has been a busy week for me. I wrote up an offer on Thursday for a house in Coral Springs. Offer accepted!
Today I met with another set of buyers, also for Coral Springs. We met at 10 am and was on our way.

By the time we got to the last house I never saw this one. As as walked through I explained … (2 comments)

OK the other day you read my rant on not being able to find my buyers a house. We went back and forth and all over Coral Springs, then to Plantation and then ended up back in Coral Springs to a house I showed them a day before and recorded for them a week prior.
I had tried to figure out what was it that I couldn't find. I read all the signs they were giving and pulling up homes that I thought that suited them perfectly. When we came across this one in Coral Springs I thought this is it. … (11 comments)
