The Big FSBO Lie - 01/31/09 10:56 PM
I like to give my readers thought provoking insights on the market. Here's one from my friend Rodger. The title is harsh.. but needs to be communicated.
Via Roger Johnson, Realtor - Hickory NC Real Estate (CENTURY 21 American Homes):
People give several reasons for trying to do a For Sale By Owner (FSBO) on their property.  The reasons are really as varied as the people doing it.  In most cases, however, all those "reasons" boil down to one thing, the commission to an agent.  It's all over the Internet as well.  Tons of posts on how to Sell it Yourself and SAVE … (0 comments)

Why Your Metrowest Massachusetts Home Expired - 01/31/09 10:43 PM
My friend Bill Gassett is a true Professional. Number one in his market of Metro West Ma. Sells many homes and knows what he is doing.
 
Sellers, Please, Please Read.. this applies to all local markets
Via Bill Gassett Metrowest Massachusetts Real Estate (RE/MAX Executive Realty):
As a Realtor you are able to get on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) everyday and see countless homes that have "expired".
The number one reason why any home expires and does not sell is because of an improper price. Unfortunately, this is the hardest obstacle in Real Estate to overcome.
In today's challenging Real Estate … (2 comments)

No More Banks or Mortgage Bankers Needed? - 01/31/09 10:37 PM
I loved this post. It probably won't happen,but makes interesting reading!
Via Fred Glick B.S., ePro® REALTOR®/Mortgage Brkr (U S Spaces, Inc & U S Loans Mortgage LLC):
If you caught my CNBC segment the other day, I briefly mentioned the idea of eliminating a few steps in the process of getting a loan. Since the federal government now controls most of the mortgage underwriting standards in the US anyway, let's try something new and less expensive for the consumer! 1. Combine Fannie, Freddie, FHA and VA into one agency.  Make a set of underwriting guidelines that everyone can follow and be consistent. 2. Have the … (0 comments)

Rehoboth Ma Real Estate- More Banks Really Are Likely Work With Homeowers Who Are Late With Their Mortgage.. if The Homeowner communicates. - 01/30/09 06:51 PM
I met with a woman this past summer that was 3 months past due with her mortgage. I recommended that she call the bank and see if she can get them to help her stay in her home. She lost her high paying job, took a new job that where she was earning far less than what she was when she first bought her home.  Further, she has a pay option arm mortgage.
The homeowner called me this morning and informed me of how grateful she was:
She worked out minimum monthly payment agreement for 6 months with her mortgage company … (0 comments)

Taunton -oversized turn of the century colonial bank owned home for $119,000 - 01/07/09 09:38 AM
The house is bank owned and needs some work, lots of exterior work. In a good location in Taunton. House has old world features and character.

A Day in the life of showing junky bank owned properties in Taunton - 01/03/09 10:33 PM
I get ready to show these homes dressed in jeans and my worst pair of boots. Its about 30 degrees Farenheit, but need to dress warm because these houses are cold with a capital C.
So on go my jeans, my "play" coat, warm socks, my old boots.. hat, flashlight.. oh no.. ran out of batteries! No flashlight. So I call my investor clients to see if they can bring their own.
I will spare you some of the details,and cannot post pictures because I don't have permission from the lsiting agents, but  this is a basic day of showing junky foreclosed … (40 comments)

Via Loreena Yeo - Realtor(R)/Broker proudly serving Frisco TX Real Estate (3:16 team REALTY):
One thing that you will notice about my 2009 is my CHOICE of words. With this blog, I pledge I will not use the word, CHALLENGES anymore. Instead, I will use the word, OPPORTUNITIES.
2008 went down in the books as one of the more challenging times of our lifetimes. (My adult life for sure). While throughout my blogs in 2008, I did not admit the doom and gloom of … (0 comments)

Taunton Real Estate- 2009 is Divine! - 01/02/09 08:45 PM
I am so excited about the new year. Looking forward to a great 2009. In real estate, nobody can predict the future.
I will give you some facts that I have noticed over the last 2 weeks. Buyer/Investors are buying up the foreclosure inventory. Today, our office received over 25 buyer calls for showings in  the first 3 hours of the day. I didn't find out what the total calls were for the day.. Normal is 5-10 a day.
Of course the influx could be due to the holidays... but still a nice positive way to start the new year.
