reno real estate: Facebook, Twitter, Home Buyers, and Sellers - 09/26/11 01:00 PM
 

 
Social media has completely revolutionized communication... mostly for the better.
As humans, we're geared toward community rather than isolation. In the old days happy birthday greetings, family announcements, and feelings were communicated through phone calls, snail mail, or actual face to face conversations.  In the present, communication has gone public with social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. While there is nothing wrong with sharing your life with friends and co-workers through "tweets" or "posts" you need to be careful.  I'm not talking about revealing future vacation dates that can give thieves an opportunity to have a free … (0 comments)

reno real estate: Weekly Reno/Sparks Market Update for 2/11/2011- The demise of Fannie and Freddie - 02/11/11 05:48 PM

reno real estate: Your furniture or your dream house? - 01/19/11 12:18 PM
The favorite couch, sofa, kitchen table, or easy chair. You know... the one that creeks when you sit down, has a slight nacho cheese smell, and really needs a good clean. We all have one and it's emotional value far outweighs its resale value. To understand real estate you have to understand people's emotions. Furniture can have more meaning than the wood frame and padding. These items store memories of rocking a first child to sleep, watching the big game with dad, the peace after a long day of work, and on and on and on.

reno real estate: Calling All First Time Home Buyers: The Nevada Rural Tax Credit and Down Payment Assistance Programs - 12/01/10 03:32 PM
Looking for some help with your FHA, VA, Conventional, and RHS loans? How about the Nevada Rural Home at Last MCC(Mortgage Credit Certificate) Program.

In classic Nevada form, the Clerk/Treasurer seat of rural Eureka County, will be decided by a draw of cards. The incumbent Jackie Berg had a six chip lead after the count on November 2nd. Challenger, Carrie Wright, went all in by asking for a recount. The result... three chips were awarded to the challenger creating a tie and a Nevada election card draw for whole pot.  Think I'm kidding? Read the law for yourself, NRS 293.400:

After watching the TBWS guys, Brian and Frank, for the past few months I've realized that my marketing efforts need a boost.
