'Eat Mor Chikin' came to Yukon Ok - by Bo Kociuba, Yukon Realtor, www.Okla-OK.com

Bo Kociuba (Keller Williams Realty-Yukon, OK) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:02:26 -0600

Welcome 'Eat mor chikin' aka Chick-fil-A to our community!

One more new neighbor on Garth Brooks Blvd. The restaurant offers delicious chicken sandwiches.

The Grand Opening was yesterday Thursday Nov. 5th...

Here is a few picks of people really excited about their coming.

That's how it started...I took the picture on Thursday in the morning.

It was full of campers after few hours. Driving back from dinner I couldn't resist to stop by and take few snaps with my camera. I asked why are they camping? What are they waiting for? Well, the answer was that the restaurant was giving away free sandwiches to first, I belive, 100 customers for a year. I said, well I think you must be very hungry...LOL...

There was music, laughter, games and lots of fun going on for hours to come...

I do not own any of the camping gear, so I wasn't there till the next morning to find out who were the lucky winners...LOL...

WELCOME CHICK-FIL-A TO YUKON COMMUNITY!

First-time home buyers credit and a provision to extend for move-up buyers passed today! by Bo Kociuba, Yukon Realtor, www.Okla-OK.com

Bo Kociuba (Keller Williams Realty-Yukon, OK) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:21:25 -0600

Today the legislation passes 85-2 to extend the first-time home buyers tax credit and a provision to extend the credit to move-up buyers!

Such high voting makes it virtually certain that the legislation will reach President Obama for his signature this week.

The bill calls for credit to be extended by 7 months and to expire on April 30, 2010. So the first-time home buyers do not have to worry about closing on the house after the November 30th date which was the original deadline.

The $8,000 maximum first-timer credit will continue and will be now available to couples with income up to $225,000, a nearly $55,000 increase above the level in existing law. A new $6,500 maximum credit would also be available to move-up homeowners who have lived in their current residence for five of the prior eight years.

More details to follow ...

Buyers - are you ready to act? by Bo Kociuba, Yukon Realtor, www.Okla-OK.com

Bo Kociuba (Keller Williams Realty-Yukon, OK) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 19:41:31 -0500

Interest rate drop fuels demand...

According to Freddie Mac, 30-year-fixed-rate mortgage average fell further to 4.87 percent with an average 0.7 point for the week ending Oct. 8 from 4.94 percent last week. “Such low rates are spurring mortgage demand,” said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist, in a statement.

"Interest rates for 30-year fixed-rate loans were the lowest since mid-May; 15-year FRMs were at a record low since data were first collected in 1991 and 5-year ARMs also hit an all-time record starting in 2005. Compared to a year ago, consumers could shave almost $134 off their monthly mortgage payments on a 30-year fixed-rate loan for $200,000 by refinancing.

In addition to spurring mortgage demand, applications were up to a 19-week high over the week ending in Oct. 2, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association – applications to purchase a home were at the strongest pace since the beginning of 2009.

TOP 10 LIST before you start looking for new home - by Bo Kociuba, Yukon Realtor, www.OkRealEstateSearch.com

Bo Kociuba (Keller Williams Realty-Yukon, OK) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 23:17:55 -0500

TOP 10 LIST BEFORE YOU START LOOKING FOR NEW HOME...

Do an honest evaluation of your income...how much of a payment can you afford. The basic rule is to not exceed 31% of your gross income
Make sure that all of your monthly bills are paid on time
Revolving accounts need to be below 25% of the current high limit. Most people do not realize the credit bureau deducts for charging too much on your card
Locate your last two years tax returns and W-2's ... you can not do a loan without them
Locate your last two months bank account statements. We must prove you have the assets to close your loan
Locate a full 30 days of pay stubs...If you are paid every two weeks, you will need 3 stubs..Your name and year to date income must show
Get a Pre-Approval from a reputable lender...They will evaluate your credit and income and give you a maximum payment
Work with a Realtor ... They will help guide you through the lending process as well as the home purchase... VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Put together files with all your important communications from your lender...do not trust your memory!!!
Never rush into anything...Make sure you have the assets and income to support your purchase! (after all it is nice to afford football tickets and have life than overextending yourself for 'four walls')

Let me know if I can help you with your new home journey...

Oklahoma Czech Festival is this Saturday, October 3rd! Come and join the parade at 10AM and celebrate with us Czech heritage in Yukon Oklahoma!

Yukon is known as the Czech Capital of Oklahoma because so many people from the country immigrated here in 1800s.

The most popular food from Czechoslovakia is a pastry called a kolache (pronounced koh-lah-chuh). A kolache is a delicious, small bun usually filled with fruit or cheese.

The Czech Festival is a way for the people in Yukon with Czech and Slovak backgrounds to preserve and share their Czech customs, clothing, and foods. One of the main attractions of the festival is dancing.

Good times and good food! See you there tomorrow...

Nature Captured .... for Speechless Sundays by Bo Kociuba, Yukon Realtor, www.OkRealEstateSearch.com

Bo Kociuba (Keller Williams Realty-Yukon, OK) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 12:08:51 -0500

Last week while waiting for the sporting clays tournament to start (at Flint Oak, KS) I was amazed how green all of the grasses, weeds and trees still are. You have to admit that this is quite unusual for this time of year. End of August and instead of browns and grays - as far as I could I saw vibrant greens, so fresh and so 'young' almost like in the spring...

Next to the station I noticed something 'steering' at me...perfectly tucked and camouflaged... as always I have my little camera with me...

Wasn't this a nice surprise?

TIME MANAGEMENT-gain more time by controlling email better by Bo Kociuba, Yukon Realtor, www.Okla-OK.com

Bo Kociuba (Keller Williams Realty-Yukon, OK) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 22:18:15 -0500

There are only 24 in a day. Everyone gets the same cut but what you do with it makes a difference. We are surrounded by time thieves and you probably will not be surprised that one of the biggest ones is an EMAIL.

What is the first thing you do in the morning (after certain necessities like ... drinking coffee, of course) or maybe getting behind your office desk? Admit it - you cannot wait to see who actually tries to get your attention in the cyberspace.

Email could be one of the biggest time wasters if not controlled by a little planning and a bit of organization.

So let's not waste any more time and apply these few simple steps to 'buy' you some extra time.

1. Set a limit how many times daily you will check your email - select 3 to 4 times. If possible do not keep your email open unless you expect something important. Otherwise you will en up an EMAIL SLAVE.

2. Set up a separate email accounts (Google, Yahoo, etc) for your personal use. By doing so you are not clogging your business email.

3. Set up folders - to save search time for a specific email and keep your letters, docs, recipes, etc all separate. This is an easy task in Outlook

- On left click FILE
- from drop down menu choose FOLDER and then NEW
- choose name for folder
- make sure that the MAIL and POST ITEMS is selected
- when finished reading an email right click on it, choose MOVE TO FOLDER, then select appropriate folder where you want to move your email - click OK; you just stored your email

4. To manage you emails (to store them automatically in an appropriate folder) - use FILTER/RULES and folder together:

in the toolbar choose TOOLS; left click and from drop down menu right click on RULES & ALERTS
choose NEW RULE - this starts Rule Wizard; the Wizard offers a variety of choices; a very easy action is to select MOVE MESSAGES FROM SOMEONE TO A FOLDER; if you receive emails often from a particular sender that's where they can be stored automatically. These emails will not 'land' in your INBOX but go directly to a specified folder
there are options to put specific emails directly where they belong - TRASH!

Tony Epperson, DVM in Yukon, Oklahoma - by Bo Kociuba, Yukon Realtor, www.Okla-OK.com

Bo Kociuba (Keller Williams Realty-Yukon, OK) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 22:50:35 -0500

We all love our four legged friends...and our hearts break when they get sick. Since we cannot talk with them it is so hard to guess what is wrong and what we can do about it.

But there IS a special kind of a person who actually is capable to 'speak' with them ... a VETERINARIAN.

For years my dogs and my friends horses were entrusted to Tony Epperson's care. Tony Epperson, DVM is a compassionate and dedicated veterinarian. He has been practicing veterinary medicine for almost 30 years. Most of them in Canadian County. It takes a lot of special skills and expertise to treat sick animals. It reguires quick assessment, diagnosis and treatment. Tony Epperson has it all...

The West Yukon Animal Hospital is located on Main Street in Yukon, Oklahoma. The clinic is a friendly place with very helpful assistants. Every time when one of my animals needs help I can count on Tony to return my calls and take care of the problem.

It is not fun to be in the hospital and this goes for us people and animals...but there is someting about this place that puts me at ease and I believe it is the compassion and professionalism which Tony Epperson shows on daily basis.

And you know what? My hunting dog JOSEY and my little Dixie Lou can definitely testify to that.

So whenever your four legged friend needs medical help give Tony a call at: 405-354-1946

Remembering Ronald Reagan ....

This morning I read a little and came across this little tid bid of history...I thought I would share it with you all ...

In 1984, in an off-air radio voice check picked up by TV cameras, U.S. President Ronald Reagan joked, "My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes." The Kremlin wasn't amused.

He always had a great sense of humor...

Yukon, Oklahoma - part of big city with a small town atmosphere attracts more residents ... by Bo Kociuba, Yukon Realtor, www.Okla-OK.com

Bo Kociuba (Keller Williams Realty-Yukon, OK) — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 19:36:51 -0500

This afternoon I was browsing on the Internet and read an article featured in today's NewsOK about my town of Yukon, Oklahoma.

There is no new 'discoveries' given in it but it is always nice to read good stuff about my community. For the last few years Yukon experienced a tramendous growth. And of course with it, it attracts more and more residents and business.

Just a few days ago I wrote 10 Top Reasons to Live in Yukon, OK in my blog.

Yukon is growing but it still has that feel of a small town, which is really appealing to lots of people. "Part of the city’s growth has come from the decades-long movement to the suburbs. But Yukon City Manager Jim Crosby said residents also appreciate the city’s "small-town atmosphere” and easy access to shopping and transportation in nearby Oklahoma City."

Here is the article in its entirety: "Yukon keeps drawing new residents. Population 'Small-town atmosphere' is appealing..."by Paul Monies
