Staging our neighborhoods - 04/24/07 09:37 AM
   Since I have been here at the Active Rain Network, I have learned a little bit about staging. Being on the finance side of Real Estate I wasn't aware of all the work involved in selling a home. Especially in a buyers market, which seems to be happening in my area.
   Staging homes isn't why I am writing this blog, but staging neighborhoods is what I want to talk about. I wonder if anyone remembers the TV add of the indian crying when he saw all of the trash on our roadsides. Maybe I am showing my age.... the … (5 comments)

The heat is on - 04/04/07 11:05 AM
   The heat is on many mortgage people like myself for putting people in "bad" loans. When I am approached by a customer who wants to be prequalified, I work towards the best case scenerio for my customer.
