Are there a lot of Realtors that are licensed in more than one state?  I am thinking about getting licensed in Arizona.  Does anyone know about the licensing classes offered in Arizona? 

Short Sales are a very interesting subject these days.  It seems like everything person these days is selling their house short.  But how do you really deal with short sales?  To be completely honest with you I never wanted to get involved in short sales.  They are a big pain and you aren't gaurenteed anything.  But like I said before, it seems like everyone is selling short.  I am not even sure if mortgage companies are willing to exept offers that are short.  I keep hearing mixed information when it comes to that.  Is selling short really the solution for people?  It seems like this is the new phenomenon.  It's the easy way out. 

Growing up a die hard Cubs fan this past weekend was as good as it gets.  Unlike other people I am not a Sox hater, but seeing the Cubs sweep the Sox at home was def. good to see.  Obviously this is one of the best seasons of the Cubs that I have scene and it pure enjoyment to watch every game.  They have all the signs of a great team.  What if they sweep the Sox again at the Cell this upcoming weekend?  Now that will be itnense.

Go Cubbies!!!!

I had my first situation dealing with a condo development going under.  Had a client that put earnest money down on a West Loop develepment.  Sometime in March the builder sent my client a new contract to sign because he had reconfigured the floor plans and my client lost about 40 square feet.  At that time my client decided that he no longer wanted to go through with the project.  I spoke to the builders' attorney and we submitted all the neccessary paperwork for the release of earnest money.  We have been waiting since April 4 and still no earnest money check.  It wasn't until yesterday morning that my broker and I hit the phones.  By talking to different people we found out that the project is done and went bankrupt.  My first experience in being involved with a project that went under.  Add it to the list.  We continued calling and my broker was able to get to someone in the company that handled the finances, after being on hold for about 40 min.  After a little threatening and some raising of the voices the woman on the other line said she would be able to cut checks immediatly.  It was that easy.  A 15 minute drive to their office I had my clients earnest money back. 

Is the market turning around?  The last few sales of mine have been with little or no market time.  No matter what market we are in that is always good to see.  I think price plays the biggest role right now.  Have to be priced right and there is no point for any agent to take overpriced listings.  Not only are you as an agent wasting your time but you are also wasting your sellers time by enabling them to think that they can get a certain amount for their property when we know that will never happen.  Price things right and they will sell.

While other markets seem to be having a difficult time selling, the West Loop is still averaging higher sold prices and less time on market.
