sun city festival: Have you ever heard this before . . ."Why are they selling?" - 06/02/12 08:19 AM

One of the first questions a potential buyer asks is “Why are they selling?”
There are many answers to this question in the Adult, over 55 communities:
1.    We want a smaller house
2.     We want a bigger house
3.     We want to be on the Golf Course
4.     We want to be closer to the grandchildren
5.     Health reasons
These are all valid reasons for selling a home.  I do think the most important question you should ask is, “Is this home right for me?”
Clients often get caught up in the game of the “Deal” and lose sight … (41 comments)

sun city festival: Have you heard of these NEW FHA rules? - 04/24/12 03:34 AM
Wow.  I just got off the phone with a supervisor from a large aerospace corporation Credit Union in Washington State. 
Before my client can get his FHA loan, all people involved, Appraiser, Real Estate Agent, Insurance Company, Escrow Officer Etc. must have their names run through a Government data bank.  New FHA rules.
Because I have a common last name, Smith, they needed my middle initial. 
The supervisor then went on to tell me that the Government has a “list”.  If you are on this “list”, they will not give your client a loan.  I then asked this supervisor … (7 comments)

sun city festival: A really good book - 04/02/12 03:41 AM
Reading for your soul
I just finished rereading “The Princessa” Machiavelli for Women by Harriet Rubin.  I forgot how much I enjoyed the book.
When I read it the first time it was about 15 years ago and my life was very different.  My favorite thing in the book is “It is said that a woman is like a tea bag; it’s only in hot water when you realize how strong she is”
If you have a chance, male or female, read the book!

sun city festival: Do you think you are that important - 03/26/12 07:16 AM
Well, this is going to be my first "Rant Blog".  What is is with agents that don't answer their phone?  I recently went into a home to preview for a client.  When I went in the house I heard a strange noise.  After looking around, I realized I was hearing running water!  I go into the garage and find the problem.  Someone had the sink in the garage on full blast. I turn the water off. I called the agents cell phone, no answer.  Then I tried their office, no answer, never heard of the Broker.  I called the agents cell back and left … (4 comments)
