pattie romano: Housing Goes Green
- 12/23/11 02:31 AM
Wherever you turn these days, it seems that someone is talking about “Green”, or “Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED”) certified buildings, and “Zero Energy Homes”. Each of these share a commitment to reduced energy consumption and the “re-use, repurposing and recycling of materials”, “improved indoor air quality” and use of “environmentally friendly” and “renewable products”. Green or LEED buildings generally generate 20 to 70 percent in energy savings, while a Zero Energy Home (ZEH) by definition must generate enough energy to meet or exceed its own heating, cooling and electrical needs in any given year.

pattie romano: Detach yourself emotionally
- 09/21/11 12:01 AM
Buying real estate is an emotional decision, but the opposite needs to be true for selling real estate. Emotions can get in the way of selling your property. The more attached you are, the harder it will be to convince a potential buyer to see themselves as the new homeowner. Try to get used to the idea that the home will no longer be yours. Think of it as a product to be sold. Visit every room and say “good-bye.” Visualize yourself handing over the keys. First impression Outside: Curb appeal can create a good first impression.

pattie romano: Negotiating Tips for Buyers
- 06/04/11 02:48 AM
Negotiating Tips for Buyers Even with the help of an experienced real estate agent, the negotiating process can be frustrating and confusing. Many of us aren't involved in high-level business negotiations in our day-to-day lives, and even buyers who are savvy businesspersons aren't used to having a personal stake in the outcome. Good negotiating in real estate isn't about coming out victorious over the other side, it's about understanding the seller's motivations and striking a deal that satisfies all parties as much as possible. The following tips can help you survive the negotiation of a real estate purchase: Don't focus on … (1 comments)

Understanding the Housing Recovery Plan The recently announced Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan is a sweeping effort to stem the national tide of foreclosures and to help as many as 9 million homeowners stay current on their mortgages. Here's a look at what the plan will entail and who will be eligible for assistance.

pattie romano: REAL "CHANGE" Begins at Home
- 11/06/08 04:53 AM
Shoving equality down people's throats hasn't worked. It has only served to make them more resentful. I think self-control is the answer here. That's where we as Americans come in. We should be teaching our children to control themselves. That you can't always have it your way, and you can't intimidate other people to make things go your way. That the color of a person skin, should not be determined in making a relationship, That we are all Human beings, That we do have many emotions in common.

pattie romano: NO COUNTRY FOR 'FIZZBOES'
- 11/03/08 10:05 PM
Why Now Is Not The Time To Sell A Home Alone Some home sellers in the boom years were tempted to market their homes "For Sale By Owner" (FSBO) to avoid paying a real estate broker's commission--especially in seller's markets where homes attracted multiple buyers. While the impulse to save money is certainly understandable, selling without professional representation in today's market is a risky strategy that could actually result in lower "walk-away cash" (net proceeds) from the sale and a longer time on the market. Here's why: Increased CompetitionThe nationwide inventory of existing homes for sale still hovers around a 10-month … (1 comments)
1) Review Your Credit History Many of us never bother to check our credit score or review our credit history unless we're preparing to apply for a loan, but it doesn't hurt to examine your credit history at any time to check for potential errors. Check for any incorrect or outdated information, and dispute anything that is inaccurate. Resolving incorrect or incomplete information may take time, so it pays to address the issue directly rather than risk affecting any potential credit needs in the future. 2) Are You "In the Red"?

Homeowners facing possible foreclosure are especially vulnerable to the various schemes employed by today's con artists. Don't fall prey to their promises. The best first step is to call your lender at once if you think you may miss your mortgage payment.Here are some scams to watch out for:"Sign the deed over to me, and I'll take care of the rest.

pattie romano: How To Avoid Foreclosure By Selling Fast For Less-SHORT SALES
- 09/02/08 02:16 AM
As home prices have dropped in some areas of the country, a growing number of homeowners are finding their home is worth less than the mortgage amount still owed to their lender (known as being "under water" or "upside down" in the mortgage). Owners may find themselves in this situation because they purchased their home at the peak of the local market, just before prices began to drop. Or, using an interest-only or payment-option loan, their monthly payments did not reduce the principal owed--and the home's value dropped. Some tapped too much home equity through second loans or lines of credit, … (0 comments)
