I have a client called me today and we were talking about looking at houses.  She is actually not in position to buy, I am helping her to improve her credit, give her some directions.  She will need quite a bit of time before she can buy.  But this story is not about her, is about her friend.
I have shown her friend a house last year, I will call her Ann here.  Ann was referred to me from this client, Ann didn't tell me she was working with an agent on and off until I met her at the house. … (139 comments)

You believe what a total stranger tells you about their house FSBO in Marion Ar? - 02/05/11 09:17 PM
You believe what a total stranger tells you about their house FSBO in Marion Ar?
FSBO means For Sale By Owner
Hello, Buyer,
You have doubt in real estate professionals.
You think most of us are not reliable.
You think all we care is money, how much we make in a deal.
You think we don't disclose everything in a house to you.
You think you can get a better deal by going on your own.
Let me ask you, so, you'd rather choose to believe a total stranger who puts a FSBO sign in their yard, shows you their house, … (24 comments)

If it is not because of Active Rain, my daughter couldn't pick me to put in her project! - 02/04/11 11:28 PM
It is just a proud mama story, if you don't like to read heart warming proud parents story, you may want to move on to the next post, haha.
My daughter is in the 8th grade, she has to write a book about herself, it is called The Me Story or something like that. One thing about it is she can only do it at school, can't bring it home.  She has to use the school's computer to do this project, with limited websites they are allowed to use.  One of the topic of this book is write about the person she … (34 comments)

Active Rain Masterminds - The Short Sale Process - 02/01/11 11:32 AM
I am honored to be asked to join this truly Active Rain MasterMind group called bRain Power by Cindy.  I am thinking what can I offer to this smart group of Active Rain friends? 
This experience pushes me to learn more and work closely with them, never imagine we will work on a project together until Ralph Gorgoglione came up with this brilliant idea to make us think.  Our first task is about how to improve the Short Sale process.  Needless to say, short sale is quite an ordeal most of the time, we put our thoughts together and Charita, this wonderful … (14 comments)

I am a first time buyer and I don't know what I need to do to buy in Marion Ar
I have been getting quite a few calls like this lately, many first time buyers are planning to buy their new home during tax return season.  They all have one question in common, "I am a first time buyer, I don't know anything about buying a house, what do I need to do first?"
Basic, simple and straight forward question, and the answer is just the same way,
Talk to a lender first.  You can't buy unless you know you can borrow … (6 comments)
