Turkey Trot in Brighton MI

Our kids go to Hornung Elementary school in Brighton, MI. It is a great school with many activities and top notch teachers! The PTO has put together some really great ways for parents to be able to mingle and get involved with their childrens education!

This past Friday they put together a Turkey Trot which is a one mile walk/run that parents and children could participate together. Afterwards they had donuts and cider which was a hit for the kids! It was a great event to be able to meet other parents and really see how the teachers interact with the kids! It was truly amazing to see the fun and coroboration amongst all that attended. Get out and get fit with your kids, they need us around for many years to come! Just my thought for the day! Happy Thanksgiving to all! Please let us remember all that we are thankful for!

Are Electronic Signatures legal?

The latest technology that we have adopted in our business is the electronic signature by Docusign!! We have used this about ten times so far over the last couple weeks and it has been such a time saver for us obtaining signatures from ALL parties involved in the transaction. It is easy to use and very cost effective!

I would give it a shot for the FREE 30 day trial and see if it doesn't just change this one extremely important part of your business!!

REAL ESTATE SALES TAX TO GO INTO EFFECT 2013 (Part of Health Care Bill)

Did you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it?

That¹s $3,800 on a $100,000 home OR If you sell your $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax.

When did this happen? It¹s in the 2000+ page healthcare bill that was passed!

Under the new health care bill - did you know that all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax? The bulk of these new taxes don't kick in until 2013 (presumably after obama¹s re-election).

This bill is set to screw the retiring generation who often downsize their homes. Is this Hope & Change great or what? Does this stuff makes your November and 2012 votes more important?

If you weren't aware this was in the obamacare bill, guess what, you aren't alone. There are more than a few members of Congress that aren't aware of it either (result of clandestine midnight voting for huge bills they've never read). AND, there are a few other surprises lurking that we don't even know about yet.

People have the right to know the truth because an election is coming in November!

Is the market improving in your area?

I live in Hamburg Twp. which is just a few miles from Brighton Mi. and we have been working in the current Real Estate Market through the ups and downs of todays economy and I have to say that it seems that the changes being made by the Government, for the most part, have helped stimulate the economy!

My clients that are selling their home have been able to compete with Foreclosures for the first time since 2006 and that in itself is great news... Now don't get me wrong, the home values are NOT going up just yet but at least people are able to sell their home if necessary!

If you would like to talk to us about your current situation, feel free to call or email us and Kelly or I will respond quickly!

Using Static FBML to Promote your vFlyer Listings on Facebook

Facebook is really making things easy for people to do creative things like Static FBML!! I have been looking for this applicationa nd finally found it!

Via vFlyer Blog (vFlyer Inc.):

Facebook just passed the 500 million users mark, so if you haven’t already done so, now’s the time to get social online. A Facebook Page is a quick way to create a social media presence for your business. We recently introduced a Listing Application for your profile or Page that allows vFlyer subscribers to easily display all of their listings on Facebook. Today I’d like to point out a nifty application that will allow you to show off an extra-special listing on your Facebook Page; it’s called Static FBML. Here’s an example of a listing posted to Facebook using Static FBML:

Here’s how it works:

Static FBML creates a new tab on your Page that accepts and renders HTML code. Once the application is installed, you’ll be able to post HTML code directly to your Facebook Page. To use this tool, go to the Static FBML Facebook Page (click here) and click the “Add to My Page” link to install the app. Copy and paste the HTML code for your flyer; I recommend using the “Blog” format, available when you use a custom theme on your flyer. You can give your new tab a title, like “Just listed”. Visitors to your page who click on this new tab will find the HTML code you entered automatically rendered - in this case, into a full-color, professionally formatted flyer.

There are myriad uses for this little application - you can add multiple “FBML” boxes to your Page to highlight your hottest listings, or devote a single Page to each listing. Whatever your approach, we’d love to hear about it; comment below or drop us a line at support@vflyer.com, and let us know how Facebook works for you as a marketing tool.

Is Vacant Land Selling?

We just received two CASH offers wirhin one week's time on two different vacant land parcels!! This is a nice change from what we are used to... I am getting a funny feeling that people are starting to see the awesome deals on vacant property and deciding to make a wise choice and buy some of the land up that has been sitting on the market for the last couple of years!

If anyone is also seeing an increase in calls on vacant land, please do tell... :)

Wipeout!

When you are going about your day as usual and you feel that things are just not going your way, take a breather and watch the show wipeout for just a couple minutes. This can make even the most grumpy person smile!

Wipeout makes Funniest Home Videos feel like a sappy sad movie :)

Hotel in South Haven

Wednesday we will be closing on the Hotel we listed in South Haven Mi on 8-17-10!! Who says the market is bad??

We knew this was a major opportunity for the right person and knew it would sell quickly regardless of the bottom feeders that called us to let us know all of the reasons that it was really only worth $ 50,000... :)

Thanks to Mark Young of Coldwell Banker, Weber-Seiler Realtors in South Haven!! It is always a pleasure working with a good Realtor!!
