First Time Homebuyer Tips : Getting Qualified & Knowing your Credit -- Part 2 of 5 - 11/30/08 03:34 PM

Via Jeff Belonger -- The FHA Expert.com -- FHA Loans -- FHA mortgages -- Mortgages :
  
Before I start.... A very important FYI -  Stop listening to the news & media !!!  There is still plenty of mortgage money available. You don't need perfect credit and 20% down. You can have less than perfect credit and 3% out of pocket. FHA loans can help you with this.
 

What is important when shopping for a home and shopping for a mortgage?  Preparation is usually the key for most things in life. Being successfulat it doesn't always happen overnight. And buying a home … (1 comments)

Great post from Elizabeth

The hottest buzz word in the industry right now is not short sales nor foreclosures. It's all about loan modifications.

Integrity Without Compromise In·teg·ri·ty
What does integrity mean to you?  What does it mean for you in your business?  Moreover, what does your integrity mean to your clients?  

The definition of integrity is really quite simple--firm adherence to a code of especially moral values. Integrity is synonymous with words such as incorruptibility, soundness, completeness, and honesty.  As real estate professionals, our 'value' is only as good as our integrity.  

Commitment to integrity is something that is predominantly 'ingrained' in us as children; however, as adults, we must establish a commitment to this practice … (2 comments)

So why would anyone choose a more expensive camera body that may be harder to use? The answer is the … (0 comments)

Via Debe Maxwell:
Are YOU Providing Value? Are YOU Providing VALUE? Just as we live our lives with certain 'moral' standards, we run our businesses based on a particular 'quality' or 'value.'   What do you base your value on?  Boosting customer service is best done by boosting customer relationships.  This is, as I've said before, the easiest part of our job but, sometimes the most neglected. Long ago, I accompanied a Seller to their Closing.  The buyer's agent delivered a glamorous gift basket to her client at the closing table and we all ooh'ed and ahh'ed over the gift.  Afterwards, … (0 comments)

Defensive Battle at Soldier Field - 11/09/08 04:15 PM
Todays game between the Tennessee Titans and the Chicago Bears did look so good for the Titans during the whole first half of the game.  Tennessee just could not get any yardage. Chicago's Defence was holding strong. Tennessee came back from half time looking like the Titans we have see all year. Determined to remain undefeated, they had to make several key 4th down stops which they have done well all season long. Well to make a long story short.... The Titans are 9-0 !!!! … (1 comments)

Economic Outlook, Consumer Confidence, Mortgage Loans, Credit - 11/07/08 10:03 PM

Via Fred Chamberlin - Eugene/Springfield's #1 Experienced FHA Mortgage Consultant:
I just have a few random thoughts this morning about what is happening right now in our economy. First of all, the election is over and win or lose for your candidate, get over it! We are all Americans, and America needs all of our help, not just the left or the right or the center. That said, lets talk about one of the most troubling reports, at least for me, and that is Consumer Confidence. This report measures the level of confidence individual households have in the performance of our economy … (4 comments)

Ugly Listings bad for Busniess? - 11/06/08 10:08 PM

Via Thomas Scott - Showhomes:
I read an interesting article by Teresa Boardman on Inman news this morning titled: Ugly Listings bad for Busines
In the article which you can read here, Boardman recounts how Realtor signs in front of vacant homes really make the Realtors look like they are doing a poor job. Here's her quote from a lunch meeting with a client:
"His impression is that the agents who list the homes don't really do anything except put signs out, and he notices that the snow doesn't get shoveled, the lawn doesn't get mowed and there are never any lights … (2 comments)

To Have No Regrets! - 11/06/08 09:46 PM

Via Coach Patti Kouri:
Recently I asked a group of people over 65, "If you could live your life over, what would you do differently?" There were three answers:
I’d take the time to stop and ask the big questions. I’d be more courageous and take more risks in work and in love. I’d try to live with purpose - to make a difference.” What if there was no such thing as fear, what would you be doing today? How would you be living – or doing business – differently?

ActiveRain Gathering in Orlando for NAR, November 8th @ 8pm - 11/04/08 10:04 PM

Via Bob Stewart - ActiveRain:
Katerina first brought this up to me way back in January. She (and many others, but she was first) offered to help coordinate things so that it was certain we would have the opportunity to have an ActiveRain party gathering. In typical fashion, Jon and I dragged our feet on getting everything set up. Katerina was relentless (bless her heart) in making sure we got everything in order. She succeeded!!
Katerina first let the cat out of the bag in her blog on Oct. 23rd. Only she didn't let the whole cat out.......

Tell Me What You Think About This Marketing Strategy! - 11/04/08 12:17 PM

Via Thea Agnew:
Hmmmm, I don't know but it would get alot of attention! Anyone game to stand on the corner with me? Would it be safe to do this? I really don't know about this marketing strategy. When you see someone standing on a corner with a sign you either think they are homeless, a drunk needing money to feed his/her habit or they are church people getting you to honk for Jesus. Nothing wrong with honking for Jesus! I just don't know. You would probably get more viewing doing this than going to walmart or having a billboard. I … (0 comments)

Did the Tennessee Titans make it to 8-0 ? - 11/02/08 08:29 PM
Did the Tennessee Titans male it to 8-0 ? You bet they did. It was a nail bitter to the end as coach Jeff Fisher tells the official that he wanted to call a time out when the clock hit :04 late in the 4th QTR.  Time out is called, Rob Bironas comes out for a game winning field goal. What else could you ask for.... Right.  We now the Packers call a time out to ice the kicker..... Now, here we go... the kick is up...... ahhhhhhh...

A Cruel Act For Halloween! - 11/02/08 08:11 PM

Via Thea Agnew:
Well, it is horrifying when you hear of families who get the visit from the Military to inform them that their Spouse has been killed or died while overseas. So was the case last week at Ft. Campbell but it just so happens the Soldier is ALIVE and well!  A man dressed in class A's and a man dressed as the clergy showed up to inform a Spouse that her husband was killed in Iraq. She didn't let these two in, which was smart on her part. You can read the full story published by The Leaf Chronicle.
