OK, OK, SO I FINALLY DID IT! - 01/28/09 06:13 PM

OK, many of my clients have been harassing me to update my photo.  They are right, it has been too long.  I just don't take photos of myself...I am the person always taking shots of everyone else, but I hate being in them!  The one I originally posted was from 8 yrs ago....I made my hubby take a shot of me this afternoon after appointments.  So, here it is.  I will now have to start updating everything.  Gee, thanks.  LOL!

10 TIPS FOR HEALTHY LIVING - 01/27/09 09:37 AM
Think DrinkStaying well hydrated is key to feeling good. So make sure you drink enough: on average that means 9 cups of fluid a day for women, and 13 for men. Caffeine-free calorie-free beverages like water are best, but fruit juice, milk, sports drink and soft drink are also hydrating. Surprisingly, even caffeinated beverages like coffee and tea contribute to your total fluid intake. Sweet Tooth SatisfiersWhen your sweet tooth is calling, try satisfying it with something healthy, like a few slices of sweet juicy mango, or sliced apple and pear made special with a sprinkle of cinnamon. If it's a … (73 comments)

Help Shut Down Petland Pet Stores, And Those Like Them! - 01/21/09 05:54 PM


 

 
Last Saturday, nationwide rallies at 22 Petland stores were held. Most people are terribly disappointed that Petland continues to try to hide behind false claims. HSUS's eight-month investigation exposed the chain as the nation’s largest retail supporter of puppy mills. HSUS investigators visited 21 Petland stores, traced the origins of about 17,000 puppies shipped to the stores, and visited many of Petland’s breeders and suppliers, discovering appalling conditions.
As most of you know, I am a HUGE Animal Lover and Activist.  I want to remind you all to PLEASE STOP SHOPPING AT PETLAND PET STORES, NOT … (30 comments)

6 Tips To Get First-Time Home Buyers To The Closing Table! - 01/21/09 10:33 AM
I was reading my Remax Times Online today, and saw this great article, written by Christine Bohn, a Broker associate with Remax Professionals in Gainesville, Florida.  Here is an excerpt from that great article, and tips to get first-time home buyers to the closing table!  
1. Don't just pre-qualify them - qualify them. In today's market, it's not enough to have a pre-approval letter. Make sure all buyers - especially first-time buyers - understand that mortgage companies have tighter requirements for loans. Lenders require a lot of documentation to verify income and ability to take on a mortgage. Contrary to … (46 comments)

Where does your state fall in foreclosures? - 01/20/09 08:50 PM
 

 
According to the Federal Reserve Board, Wisconsin compares favorably to many parts of the nation regarding foreclosures.   Our state has fewer subprime loans; 15.2% subprime loans per 1000 units, compared to 23.4% nationally.  Of these subprime loans, only 14.1% are in foreclosure.  Only .8% per 1000 units in Wisconsin are REO/bank owned properties, compared to 2.5% per 1000 units nationally. 
 
Wisconsin also has fewer foreclosures than many of our neighboring states.  One in every 1341 units in Wisconsin is in foreclosure,  a ratio of 1/1341, compared to the following:
-Michigan:  1/396
-Illinois: 1/410
-Minnesota: 1/858

Interesting Facts About First-Time Home Buyers - 01/20/09 10:13 AM
First-time home buyers have risen in market share and plan to own their homes longer than buyers in the past. 
The Median age of first-time buyers was 30, down from 31 in 2007, and the median income was $60,600.
The typical first-time buyer purchased a home costing $165,000 and plans to stay in that home for 10 years, up from seven years in 2007.
Since I specialize in First-Time home buyers, I will walk you through the process, every step of the way.  I understand this is the largest investment you will probably ever make.  Contact Kristin Johnston today!

How do YOU attract renters?? - 01/19/09 11:00 AM






As we all know, this is an opportune time for renters to become home owners.   I wanted to start a discussion on what works/what doesn't work for you all.   Are you able to convert renters to home buyers through a specific mailing?  By holding joint first time home buyer seminars with lenders?  By a specific ad?  I haven't had the best success in this area, and would love the input.  Thanks in advance for your comments!!

Wonderful Animal Shelter in Waukesha, WI!!! - 01/05/09 11:15 AM
 

 
Millions of shelter animals are euthanized because they never found their forever home. Too many of these animals are dying because many more people are buying from breeders because they think they would find their 'perfect pet' there instead of in shelters. These shelter animals may have had a bad past, but they have so much love to give, if only given the chance!   Shelters have volunteers that take their dogs out for walks, socialize the cats, interact with the small animals, but it isn't enough. They need a loving home. 
Please give them the life they deserve.  Help me help them!  Visit your local … (14 comments)

Top 10 Cities For Real Estate Investing, 2008 - 01/04/09 05:24 PM

I found this on The Real Estate Bloggers, and thought it was interesting.  HomeVester, the We Buy Ugly Homes franchisor, keeps track of the best markets for investing in homes. I didn't know Milwaukee, WI was so high on the list.  Another great statistic to share with potential investor buyers!

WHEN AM I NOT A NEWBIE ANYMORE?? - 01/01/09 04:35 PM
 
Hello!  I was just curious....what is the official word on whether or not someone is considered a NEWBIE?  Is it based on the number of points, how long they have been on the network, how many blogs/posts/or features someone has, their rank in the communities....what?  I welcome your thoughts/comments.

HAPPY NEW YEAR...DID YOU MAKE IT TO MIDNIGHT??? - 01/01/09 09:24 AM
I am PROUD to say, that last night for New Years Eve, I was able to stay awake until 12:10am!!  Yee haw!  How about you?  I pushed myself to make it to the stroke of midnight, since I fell asleep early the last couple years!  Must be all the junk food and champagne, right? 
The funny thing is, is that my husband was sick this year, and so we didn't even get our New Years smooch, ironic, isn't it?  I thought my fellow Active Rainers would appreciate the photo of the guy who fell asleep on his keyboard.  Hope he saved … (42 comments)
