A KITTY'S DAY AT THE OFFICE - 03/31/11 07:30 PM
Tobbie Marble is our 4 year old resident fat cat who has never seen a lap he doesn’t like. He is especially fond of me, he follows me everywhere and he is a permanent fixture on my lap. So I decided to take Tobbie Marble with me to the office today because I wanted him to spend time with Marianna but the the only thing he did was hide under her desk.
 

 
 
But this is what he does while with me at my home office....

1 PROPERTY + 5 VALUES = REAL ESTATE MAGIC SHOW - 03/29/11 12:49 PM
Perception: the process by which an organism detects and interprets information from the external world by means of the sensory receptors.
In the following pictures, we have 5 organisms: the seller, the buyer, the buyer’s bank, the buyer’s appraiser, and the seller's lender foreclosure department.
I sometimes wonder if they are all looking at the same property or whether some sort of catastrophic event has fallen upon the home from one day to the next (or perhaps whether some crew has come in and made the home into a castle while we weren’t looking).
My personal favorite is when I have … (6 comments)

FORECLOSURE BUYERS - BEWARE!!!! - 03/09/11 08:08 PM
Below is a Disclosure that Fannie Mae is now requiring buyers to sign on many REO/bank owned homes.
