cherry hill: Is it hard to get a mortgage now? - 09/29/08 05:44 PM
Well, is it? That is what I keep hearing but it is mostly from wet behind the ears folks that came into the business thinking they were going to make a lot of money. They bloated the ranks of real estate agents and mortgage professionals alike. Now they are jumping … (8 comments)

We have all heard the attorney analogy regarding dual agency.I was reading a blog that made the statement. "You wouldn't use a quarterback working for the other team." Not sure I like that one but then thought of..."Can you imagine a sports team in which both sides have the same coach."I'm … (0 comments)

I first posted this in May and since then FHA has become much more widely used. As it should. It is still evolving though so another look seems justified.
For those who are not up on FHA it is a good time to look at this type loan. There is … (0 comments)

cherry hill: HUD homes in South Jersey (NJHomeBuyer.com Realty) - 08/15/08 09:45 AM
In 1997 I began taking the South Jersey HUD list from the newspaper and posting it on my website. At the time, it was the only online place it could be found. As HUD wised up and started posting that I continued for some time. When they got to the point … (0 comments)

cherry hill: FHA and Condos - 08/02/08 06:57 AM
I read a recent article in the Chicago Tribune that stated,
"Also, approvals for condos take eight to 10 weeks, twice the processing time for single-family dwellings."
It does not. To get some real facts I contacted Eric Bornebusch a senior loan officer at JPMorgan Chase.
Here is what … (0 comments)

cherry hill: Listing Agent Responsiveness - 06/18/08 06:21 PM
With the tools we have these days communications can happen very quickly. Most of us are "connected" and then some. I prefer communications with almost everyone to be by email, at least in a business context. The simple reason is that I want a record of what I say and what … (0 comments)

cherry hill: When you step through the door do you know if it is the house for you? - 06/16/08 10:14 AM
I recently read an agent's blog post that said she tells buyers that they will know if it is the house for them the moment they step through the door. There is no doubt that buyers sometimes really do "know". When they get that "I love it feeling" should the agent … (4 comments)

cherry hill: What do buyers need to know before making an offer on a home? - 05/13/08 07:01 AM
What do you need to know before you make a purchase offer on a house?
This may vary with the part of the country you are in and with the house itself. I am in Southern New Jersey. My office is in Camden County.

For those who are not up on FHA it is a good time to look at this type loan. There is no reason not to unless you are always above the FHA loan limit.

Lets take a look at the heading and the first 2 articles: Define: Customer= Define: Client=
As a consumer, do you want to be a client - or a customer of "YOUR" Realtor?

cherry hill: Do you have or need a secretary? - 04/11/08 03:30 PM
How many of you have an unlicensed assistant or a secretary. If you do, how do you use them. It seems to me a full time secretary would cost (at least) $30,000 a year. That would be cheap if it didn't result in a reduction of my net income but I … (22 comments)

cherry hill: Dual agent or dueling agents? Will your agent duel for the deal? - 03/11/08 07:51 AM
Can you imagine the result if both parties to a proposed duel named the same person as their "second". That, of course, would not do - at all. It would make the second a 'Dual Agent". Since one of the duties of the 'second' is to take the place of the … (14 comments)

If you are an agent you know that some buyers take longer than others to look at a house. Also, that some homes (a condo) take less time to look at than others (say a six bedroom victorian fixer upper). Some buyers have to get the feel for the house. They … (6 comments)

cherry hill: Government homes may be a good deal - or not. - 03/04/08 07:44 PM
Often HUD and VA foreclosures are a good deal but they should be looked at with a critical eye. Lots of buyers are ready to pounce on them without looking at other homes on the market...Just because someone got foreclosed and the government ended up with the home does not mean … (2 comments)

I have a small real estate office and I’m thinking of adding another (full time) agent. I am NOT looking for someone to train that is just out of school. Ideally this person would have at least 5 years of experience in South Jersey real estate (that does not mean just … (0 comments)

cherry hill: Due diligence and the path to home ownership. - 02/15/08 05:39 AM
I think of myself as a buyer’s “due diligence” tool. Due Diligence: It is more than “to be diligent”. When one enters into a contract they should not do so blindly. Yet, they generally don’t have the background to personally make a complete or sufficient evaluation of all the things they … (0 comments)
