Buyers and Sellers in today's market - 06/29/11 11:48 PM
I am in real estate just turning my 4th year this year, I have already seen lots of changes in this business.  I got in the business in 2007, when things started to turn upside down, then it went for the worse.  Even the mentality of the public has changed so much in the last few years just amazed me.
I remember the clients who I worked with didn't have to look at tons of houses before making a decision to make an offer or just plain looking.  Sellers were more co-operative to let their house to be shown.  I just wonder if they … (12 comments)

Two Happy First time Home Buyers closed on their first home in Marion Ar today!
I was working with client A first, while we were looking for a house, his mom referred a client to me who is also a first time buyer.  The more the merrier.  Guess what, we close both of them today!

Correct Your Credit Report Errors Before You Start Your Home Search - 06/21/11 09:21 PM
My dear friend, Kay has some excellent advice on checking your credit report before home buying, make sure to correct the mistake/s while you have time to do so.
Via Kay Van Kampen–Springfield, Ozark, Nixa Greene County Missouri Real Estate Agent (RE/MAX Broker, RE/MAX Solutions):
Correct Your Credit Report Errors Before You Start Your Home Search Your ability to buy or refinance your home clearly depends on your credit report, unless you're paying cash.  For some, errors on your credit report comes as a surprise.  Or you thought that little glitch wasn't going to matter.....the bank wasn't going to find out about it.

How to buy foreclosures in Marion Ar?
If you are trying to look for some bargain in Marion, Ar., this may be a good time for you to get on the wagon to look for some foreclosures.  But, wait, do you know what you need to do first?  How to buy them?  Who do you talk to?  How to get financed?  Is it easy to buy foreclosures?

Motivational Monday-prepare for all the unexpected, you never know what and when will it happen - 06/13/11 04:57 PM
WoW, we were sunny and hot today, until 12:45 p.m.  Things changed dramatically all a sudden, we had tornado watch till 2 p.m., severe thunderstorm, heavy rain, strong wind.  Then, it got quiet, it was gone just like that.  Left behind was the debris from the trees, dust on the cars, broken tree limbs, that was crazy.
You never know what is coming up in your life, there are so many unexpected can happen.  We may not have time to prepare for it when it hits, but we'd better prepare for it though.  Most of the time we associate the unexpected with the … (12 comments)

Seller, think carefully before sending the counter offer out. - 06/07/11 04:56 PM
Seller, your house is on the market for sale, you are hoping it will be sold in a reasonable amount of time.  Better yet, you got a very nice offer in the first week after it is on the market.  Yippee!
I know it will be ideal to reach the goal of netting certain amount that you hope for.  But, it is very hard to have a pre-approved buyer in today's market, if the offer is good and may cost you a little short from what you want to net, yet you are still ahead, think thoroughly before countering back for more money. 
Bear in mind … (8 comments)

It is HOT out there, and so is the National Open House Weekend in Marion Ar!
Wow, it was close to 110 degrees heat index this weekend, but it didn't stop the home buyers coming out to visit the National Open House Weekend.  The activities were great and I met at least 4 sets of buyers who want to buy now, and I have one buyer who decided to work with me already.  
Online leads are great, but meeting new leads face to face at open house events helps to answer their questions right on the spot, nothing beats the … (12 comments)
