Are You Selling Your Home or Just Helping Your Neighbors Sell Theirs? - 06/20/10 01:03 PM
There are a couple of kinds of people who help their neighbors sell their home.
The first kind is the neighbor we all want to have. Their yard is perfectly landscaped, the trash cans are never left out by the curb, the cars are tucked safely into the garage instead of parked on the street, they don’t have dogs that would even think about barking or cats that consider your garden a litter box.
They are friendly, courteous and can’t wait to tell anyone they meet what a great neighborhood they live in, including the people who are considering moving to … (46 comments)

A Home Seller Who Really Gets It... - 06/09/10 08:47 PM
I’ve spent a lot of time writing here about selling New Orleans West Bank homes. How to get them ready, how to get them staged, how to price them right and how to be sure that, as a seller, you are appealing to the broadest home buying audience possible.

Sometimes I feel like I’m talking to the wall, especially when I meet with home sellers who want a sign in their front yard right now, but they are no where near ready to go on the market and put their best foot forward.
Recently, one of my listings (which was … (21 comments)

How Using an Out of Town Lender Can Slow Down the Loan Approval Process - 06/04/10 08:14 AM
Recently, I listed and sold a condo in New Orleans. Now, the entire condo buying and selling experience has changed from years past, with fewer lenders willing to step up and do the necessary work to get a complex approved by FHA. It used to be that by answering a few quick questions a lender could get what was called a “spot approval”. Those days are gone and while the rule changes may have been made for valid reasons (although I’m not quite sure what they are), they have served to make the entire process a little more cumbersome, especially for … (38 comments)

No Documentation = No Mortgage - 06/02/10 08:57 AM
There was some interesting information in CityBusiness last week about how fishermen, shrimpers and others in the industry are being financially impacted by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Everyone is trying to determine how those who have effectively been put out of business or had their business adversely impacted should be paid.
However, according to the article, “sloppy and sometimes fraudulent histories of tax reporting among members of the fishing industry could deny many what they consider fair compensation”. Cash income that was never claimed, poor bookkeeping that doesn’t provide the necessary information…these things may come back to … (5 comments)
