kim knapp: Tell Sellers the truth..... - 01/06/09 03:59 PM
It's a New Year time to stand tall and make a decision to tell the cold hard truth. When you walk into that listing appointment remember they asked you to come because you are a real estate professional and they are looking for guidance and solutions.
Now if your end game is merely to get your sign in the yard then you won't be in the game too long. However, if this is your career you get that it's a bigger picture. The bigger picture... your reputation, referrals, delivering on what you say! Remember you are dealing with folks biggest investment … (8 comments)

kim knapp: Countrywide Short Sale Closing - 12/24/08 05:23 AM
Having closed around 20 short sales this year (not that many by a long shot) I have discovered that some lien holders are so much easier to work with than others.
One obstacle that I have found with many is that it's more about the process than the results. They may get $50,000 less than they could have but by darn they massaged the process.
Let me compliment Countrywide first in that I can always get a breathing human being on the phone that can pull up the account! Can't get too far without that. Last week I decided my part … (12 comments)

kim knapp: The Wild Party, the Hangover, and Rehab..... Where are the success stories? - 11/17/08 03:29 PM
It was 2003 and people where starting to show up to the party. If you got there early you didn't really know how many people were going to show up. Once they did the scene was crazy. Agents, (new franchises by the dozen) buyers, sellers, and lenders everywhere, it was the ultimate pick up event. Buyers outbid other buyers for homes and were never happier, probably because they felt as if they had won. Agents worked with sellers they didn't like. That's okay the house will be sold in a week. Agents left the party with buyers they didn't know. (Ahhh, … (4 comments)

kim knapp: and Tired Always follow sick. Goodmoning America! - 09/08/08 06:49 AM
Welcome back to the Land of "I'm no longer depressed."It's so nice to have you all back, the party has been very quiet without you, hence the reason we waited for you to get here! I get the feeling everyone is Tired of being Sick and Tired. Why even the media has grown weary of perpetuating the gloom they once seemed to enjoy so much. maybe if they play nice we will advertise with them again someday. LOLSeriously though I love this country and America's spirit. We have learned to make lemonade from lemons. Reflecting back on mistakes and try to … (0 comments)

kim knapp: Real Estate Acronyms, Can Someone Speak English - 09/08/08 05:37 AM
I was working with a first time buyer the other day and realized that the longer one is in the real estate business you begin to speak in code. Not on purpose mind you just a bad habit. Oh it makes perfect sense inside your own head. Ah, but if you could only hear yourself speaking in consonants you would realize that your customers are mearly nodding at you and smiling. I have decided that to put together my Top 10 Realtor Acronyms. Not to steal a Mortgage Lenders thunder I will leave those for one of you to … (7 comments)

kim knapp: Do you live on the Island? What Island? Fleming Island! - 08/22/08 01:08 PM
As of August 1, 2008 going south on Hwy 17 from the Dr's Lake Bridge to the Black Creek Bridge then from from the river east of CR220 to the Swimming Pen Creek Bridge by Whitey's Fish Camp it is all officially Fleming Island Florida.
Before that the southern part of Fleming Island had a Green Cove Springs mailing address. Does that make everyone on Fleming Island an official Islander? I say why not?
If you're going to live on an island in Florida there's not a better place to be. You have access to the St Johns River, as well as … (3 comments)

kim knapp: Another day in Fleming Island - 07/09/08 08:31 PM
Living in Fleming Island can really be like being on vacation. This last Saturday my husband Tom and I were having breakfast and planning our day. It went something like this. Tom -" Want to go swim some laps? me-" "Sure sounds like we could work off some of our breakfast." Tom- "Cari mention she was renting a boat to go out on Black Creek this afternoon, want to meet up with her? I think she said 1:30. me-"that sounds good we can check out that rope swing the boys have been telling us about." "After that let's do Domenics Pizza … (0 comments)

kim knapp: NEV-Neighborhood Electric Vehicles in Fleming Island, Should I get one? - 07/09/08 07:56 PM
With the price of gas going up it may be time to consider a NEV... Actually living in The Clay County area there are many planned communities it can really make sense. With so many 25 mph roads that connect to everything, schools inside the community along with shopping, libraries and after school activities it just may be worth it. NEV is an acronym for Neighborhood Electric Vehicle. A NEV is a street-legal, battery-powered electric vehicle that is limited to roads with posted speed limits of 35 mph (60 km/h) or less. They usually have a top speed of 25-30 mph (50 … (0 comments)

You walk into Blockbuster on a Friday night looking for just the right movie. You have money in your pocket and a mebership card in your wallet.
