mortgage: REALTORS® and Mortgage Professionals Working Together: By Lisa Hill Daytona Beach REALTOR® - 08/13/09 08:56 PM
I'm writing this real estate mini-series due to recent comments I've seen on other public forums, where some non-real estate professionals have indicated their belief that there is friction between the professionals who work in the multiple arms of the real estate industry. Needless to say, I've been surprised by what I've found on a couple of real estate web sites. Of course it's human nature for some people to assume the worst about many things... surely there's a scandal around every corner! (NOT!) Well, I guess I'm going to burst some bubbles because in my 15 years of experience selling … (10 comments)

mortgage: Real Estate Agents and Mortgage Brokers: How to be professional, outside your field of expertise - 05/06/08 12:26 AM
Real estate buyers and sellers, please allow me to vent my frustrations with our current real estate market. I invite you to read along and hopefully, get an inside look at some of the problems that are contributing to today's real estate market conditions.
I was just reading a post by Richard Zaretsky titled "Back to Basics-A Review on Short Sales". His post is chock full of more information than I can digest in one sitting. I bookmarked it for future reference. I also sent a link to one of my clients who is facing eminent foreclosure if we can't get … (4 comments)

mortgage: How will you avoid foreclosure? - 01/12/08 08:14 PM
Desperate times call for desperate measures and we are certainly in desperate times, with many people facing foreclosure in the real estate industry, but at some point you have to draw the line. I just read some alarming news on The Daily Green and on CNN. These are how you should NOT try to avoid foreclosure!
Apparently a woman in Indiana "allegedly" offered to pay one of her neighbors $5000 to help her burn down her home, to avoid foreclosure, then collect $80,000 in insurance. Can you say "fraud"? Is it just me or does foreclosure sound better than jail time?
The article … (6 comments)

mortgage: The Glamorous Real Estate Life! - 12/17/07 10:27 PM
The glamorous life of a REALTOR®. On come on. You know our lives are glamorous. Let's face it. All we real estate agents do is drive around in our SUVs with our magnetic riders on the sides, or in my case, my stenciled name, cell phone number, brokerage and web site across the back window, and show people houses, then show up for closing. We can't possibly do anything else, right? If we had to actually work, there would be no reason for so many people to resent our choice of career, right?
WRONG! I decided we needed a bit of … (18 comments)

mortgage: Let's Play The Real Estate and Mortgage Blame Game - 11/26/07 09:17 PM
We all know real estate is cyclical. It always has been. It always will be.
So why does everyone seem so surprised that the market is down? And why are we so quick to forget the old adage "If we don't learn from history, then history is bound to repeat itself"? This may be the first time you've experienced real estate-related negatives, but it's definitely not the first time it's happened. And unless you've been living in a cave, you knew that.
But this post is not about the real estate and mortgage market problems. This post is about finger-pointers, whiners … (13 comments)

mortgage: The long & winding road to a real estate closing - 07/28/07 06:50 PM
Hello Mr. and Ms. Real Estate buyer or seller. So you've decided you want to buy or sell real estate in Florida?
Unless this is your first time buying or selling real estate, you probably think you’re pretty knowledgeable on this topic. But are you? Here’s a little questionnaire on the standard steps involved on the road to almost every real estate closing.
Who is holding the deposit? If a buyer can’t obtain financing, who keeps the deposit? When a buyer makes an offer and provides a pre-qualification letter to the seller, does it give the seller more confidence … (6 comments)

mortgage: The House Appraised for How Much? - 06/15/07 10:24 AM
I have to share this story of how a sale that got way off track, a few years ago, due to an appraisal problem on a house I sold in Port Orange FL.
It started with the Port Orange listing I had for a family I have known for many years. The buyer for their house was someone who went to church with them. After many twists and turns in her financing, she was finally able to close.
On the flip side, I was also working with the family whose listing I had, to help them buy their next home. We found … (38 comments)
