I love Chobani! You will too! - 05/31/11 02:52 PM
I fell in love with Chobani yogurt. You will too! It is simply the best yogurt on the market. It has a great taste other than Orko’s which is a little chaulky to me. I usually buy it at the local convenience store but I found out that they sell it other places too. It tastes great, low in calories, feels you up.

Get a box of 12 (6 oz.) with strawberry, blueberry and peach all my favorite flavors.
Costco - $13.44
Sam’s Club - $11.23
Wal-Mart, Shoppers Food Warehouse, Wegmans and Target also sell it as well.

Google Voice Has a Dirty Mind, Until I Listened to the Message - 05/26/11 03:10 PM
I too use Google Voice which I love but sometimes what the system thinks was said is "NOT" the truth so Google needs to work on that for sure. Thanks for the post

Facebook Status Tagging - Why It Matters - 05/26/11 01:09 PM
 
I am a facebook lover. So when I see a great post about facebook it needs to be shared with a greater audience. My readers may or may not be Josh Perrington's readers. Thanks Josh! We need more mortgage planners like you.
 
Via Josh Perrington :
It took all of about 30 seconds to become addicted to reading friends’ status updates. Not something I’m proud of, mind you…yet, lately, has proven to be not-so-unusual…and facebook knows this. 
Aside from rummaging through friends’ photos like you’re spying on them from the outside, status updates provide a glimpse into the “Jone’s” lifestyle…which … (2 comments)

When a short sale goes to foreclosure and there is an HOA involved... - 05/25/11 11:17 PM
I read this post from Liz and it is a very imformative blog about short sales, foreclosure and HOA. The saga continues...with banks, homeowners and associations
Via Liz Harris, MBA CTA Chandler Traditional Academy Homes (Clients First Realty, LLC Chandler):
When a short sale goes to foreclosure and there is an HOA involved, I recommend to my clients that they go ahead and send a copy of the transfer of deed to the HOA to show that they are no longer the legal owners.  Very often what I am finding is that the auction may occur on one day, but then the transfer … (2 comments)

Why a Facebook Business Page, do you ask? - 05/25/11 11:09 PM
You should create a Facebook Business Page for Real Estate if you haven’t already. By creating a Facebook Account to locate and connect with family, friends & associates. It’s place to meet before you meet. It would be wise to create a personal page and a business page to separate the two. You may not want everyone to see the vacation that you when on to the Bahamas or your outings with friends. It’s up to you but understand that what you post on Facebook everyone can see unless you prevent them from doing so which I will explain later.

Did you know that you can send a text message as an email from your email for "FREE"?

Military Service members have options instead of foreclosing! There is a better way - 05/23/11 05:02 PM
HOMEOWNERS' ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR MILITARY SERVICE MEMBERS
The Department of Defense (DOD) is proud to offer the Homeowners Assistance Program (HAP) to eligible service members and federal civilian, including non-appropriated fund, employees.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) temporarily expands the HAP to assist service members and DOD employees who are wounded, … (0 comments)

Are you a "slug" or know someone who does? - 05/20/11 01:41 PM
According to Dictionary.com, slugs are any of various small, snaillike, chiefly terrestrial gastropod mollusks of the genus Limax and related genera, having a slow-moving elongated body with no shell or only a flat rudimentary shell on or under the skin. But I am not going to discuss slugs in that context.
NOT THIS SLUG
 
I want to discuss commuting in the Northern Virginia area in terms of slugging.
THIS IS THE SLUG

With more commuters in the area, it’s imperative to find alternate ways to get to and from work. Slugging is a term used to describe a unique … (0 comments)

What GPS do you use? - 05/18/11 04:54 PM
I was surfing the web today and I decided to get to Walmart.com and I found out that GPS device are also low as $53.00 which is a great deal. Though you can pay more and get all the bells and whistles for over $400.00. My next GPS will have live traffic with alternate routes to get to the location faster. I don't know whether I want to get Magellan, Tom Tom or Garmin.
Which one do you have to get you to your next open house, listing appointment, buyer presentation, finding the local Starbucks or shopping mall near you?

Looking for ways to generate business...? - 05/09/11 02:49 PM
I recently read this article from Jared James of Jared James Enterprises (Milford, CT) and he has the formula that we all should be reminded of. It's the principle of real estate. The more people you know the more business you will get.
