Send A Gift- Thank You Card To Our Soldiers- Xerox Let's Say Thanks Program

Dick and Dixie Sells, Your Tampa Bay Florida Connection (Future Home Realty) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:09:25 -0600

This is such a great way to thank our Troops. Our friends found this terrific site by Xerox to do this. Take the time to teach your children and grandchildren about giving thanks to our brave servicemen and women this holiday season.The artwork for the cards were made by children and are amazing- simple-fast and free. It will make a soldier smile!
Let's Say Thanks- In Support of our Troops.

Via Nestor & Katerina Gasset Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes (International Properties and Investments, Inc.):

Thanks to Xerox sending out a Thank You card to our soldiers is simple, fast and free.

At this time of the year we can take some time out to teach our children about giving thanks and living in gratitude.
The best way of course to teach gratitude is by being a good example of being in a thankful state of mind.

You can gather your children around your computer right now and go to this site:

Let's Say Thanks- In Support of our Troops.

All you do is click on the card you want to send and then click on what you want the words on the text side of the card to say.
You don't even have to think to do this because it is all done for you. You just have to choose the card and the text out of the ones on the site.
Then you just click send.

Xerox prints out the postcards and then these cards go into the care packages that Givetothetroops® sends to our soldiers.
What a gift Xerox is giving to the troops. I really appreciate a company setting a great example like this.
The cards have all been designed by children and are patriotic. There are many patriotic symbols and messages to choose from.

There is a link on the site where you can read the responses from soldiers around the globe.
For some of these soldiers, your card will be the only mail they get from home.

Here are some of the comments sent back by different servicemen and women:

To all who have supported us,

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you from myself and my fellow Marines. Your packages and well wishes have lifted our spirits at a time when we are so far away from our friends and family. I wish you could have seen the bright eyed looks and utter excitement from the Marines when opening the boxes. It was a true blessing that you made happen. It makes us proud to know that our fellow Americans care as much as we do. It makes the sacrifices we and our families make worth every minute we spend here. We Americans can stand shoulder to shoulder in unison on one thing - we're all proud of our country and we're all proud of each other. The effort you make on behalf of the troops is just as important as the work we are doing here and around the world.

- A Gunnery Sergeant

As I was leaving an un-eventful Valentine's Day today, one of the mail clerks yelled "Adams!! You have a package!!" A package, I thought to myself. I'm not expecting anything. What could this be? I took the box into my office and closed the door. As I opened the box, a flood of joy came over me as I looked over the cards from you and the young ones, one of my co-workers walked in to see tears rolling down my eyes. I had never received a gift with this much love, packed into one little place from someone that I've never known.

As I thought about what the cards talked about with soldiers giving their lives and privileges up to ensure the freedom of Americans, it was nice to know that someone out there does not take it for granted. I don't know who you are, but you are truly a gift from God. The gift that gives me the drive to serve my country proudly. As you pray that the Lord keeps the soldiers here safe and brings us home, I pray to the Lord that people like you do not die off from this world. Your contributions are nowhere near inadequate. Please never forget what this means to a soldier. Thank you for your love and thoughts.

Please be kind- take a moment out of your day to send a card for free to a soldier today. Please Reblog!

THE FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS TAX CREDIT EXTENSION - IS IT SOUP YET????? OR, IS IT STILL SAUSAGE???

Dick and Dixie Sells, Your Tampa Bay Florida Connection (Future Home Realty) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 07:51:02 -0500

Via Lenn Harley, Homefinders.com, MD & VA Homes and Real Estate:

WARNING!               WARNING!                WARNING!                 WARNING!                 WARNING!

ActiveRain members are posting articles claiming that the "FIRST TIME HOME BUYER CREDIT HAS BEEN EXTENDED".

IS THIS FACT?

OR IS THIS IRRESPONSIBLE RUMOR?????

     SHOW ME THE LEGISLATION!

     SHOW ME THE LAW!

     SHOW ME THE RECONCILIATION!

     SHOW ME THE FACTS!

Show me more than rumor. As I understand it, the extension has been proposed and passed by the Senate. THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT LAW.

There are two branches of Congress. One branch can pass and then it goes to the other branch. These are co-equal branches of Congress.

Any extension would, I would think, then have to be signed by the President of the United States.

"Senators agreed to extend the existing tax credit for first-time homebuyers while offering a reduced credit of up to $6,500 to repeat buyers who have owned their current homes for at least five years, said Regan Lachapelle, a spokeswoman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev."

"Senators agreed"   "Senators agreed"    "Senators agreed"

Doesn't make it law.

Be careful out there folks. Your posts are going on Google and, if you are wrong. . . . . . ?

Zestimates: they're just a starting point-Pasco County Off 22%

Dick and Dixie Sells, Your Tampa Bay Florida Connection (Future Home Realty) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:00:16 -0500

Zestimates: they're just a starting point-Pasco County Off 22%

This should give you a better understanding of the evaluations on Zillow. I checked and they are saying the Median Error Rate for our area is 22%. So folks, as they say it is a starting point. Before our buyers make an offer we work up a Comparative Market Analysis from SOLD homes in the direct area, taking into account many factors, such as location, condition and amenities and upgrades ( or lack of). And if you are depending on Zillow to see what your home is worth, well NOT IN MY OPINION!
Our sellers are fully informed as to what the sales data is showing as to the price range for the selling price for their home.

A computer model just is not equal to good ole fashioned homework and market knowledge. Give us a call today 800-303-4400 or 727-815-7800!
Professional, Individualized Service and Knowledge

Via Spencer Rascoff (Zillow):

This morning, I received an email from the head of marketing at a very large real estate company who is a listing partner of Zillow's. He asked me if I had a canned response to agents asking about Zestimate accuracy. Here's the email that I sent him:

Hi XX,

We have two videos on this topic which we send to a lot of people.

This video is geared towards consumers.

And this video is geared towards real estate professionals.

So the easiest thing for you to do is to send your agents a link to the video

Also here’s a blog post on the topic.

But here are the main points so you also have them in text.

Zestimates are calculated three times per week by computer models that try to approximate what the market value is for almost every home in the country. We crunch numbers on 70 million homes and publish those Zestimates to the website every few days.

We're very transparent about our Zestimate accuracy and we report on it quarterly on the site here. We encourage agents to show the accuracy table (which can be found by clicking on “Zestimate Values & Accuracy” on the bottom of every page of the website). The accuracy table helps agents explain to clients the limitations of the Zestimate, and helps reinforce the importance that a real estate agent has in helping the client think through the value of their home.

Zestimate accuracy varies depending upon the quality of the information we have on the specific home. Also, Zestimates are more accurate on homes that are more similar to other homes that have recently sold; on the other hand, Zestimates are less accurate on more unique homes.

Keep in mind that when a home is listed for sale on Zillow, several things happen with respect to the Zestimate:

1. The Zestimate comes off the map page and is replaced with the For Sale price

2. The property attributes (e.g., # beds, # baths, sqft, etc) which were previously provided by the county are replaced by the listing information

3. Zillow recalculates the Zestimate within a few days based on the new property attributes. The For Sale price of the home is not a direct input into the Zestimate though.

4. On the listing page (aka “the home details page”), the Zestimate is removed from the top of the page and replaced with the For Sale price. The Zestimate still appears on the page, but at the very bottom. In some cases, the Zestimate doesn’t appear on the listing page due to an inability to match the address from the listings feed with an existing address in our database.

We tirelessly explain to consumers and agents that Zestimates are just a starting point and they're not the end-all-be-all in figuring out the value of a home. They're just another datapoint which needs to be considered and discussed between real estate agent and client. Best regards, Spencer

Selling Your Tampa Bay Florida Home During The Holiday Season

Dick and Dixie Sells, Your Tampa Bay Florida Connection (Future Home Realty) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 10:10:09 -0500

Selling Your Tampa Bay Florida Home During The Holiday Season

If you are waiting to list your home for sale until after the holidays and into the Spring, you could really be making a big mistake!

· Oh the weather outside is frightful- NOT HERE!- Our population almost doubles during “the season”. Folks are coming down from the North to enjoy our wonderful weather. You can see the increase in traffic and at the great restaurants. Many of our “visitors” are planning a move and want to see property. Make it yours they fall in love with by being on the market! We already have scheduled appointments with buyers for December.

· Inventory Needed! Other sellers are thinking like you and are waiting, so inventory is lower, especially NEW inventory. Don’t get lost in the crowd…..Stand out!

· Remember our Homestead Exemption-The property must close by the end of the year to qualify the buyer for next year.

· Homes look so festive and pretty decorated for the Holidays. What a wonderful way to present your home to a potential buyer.

· Motivated buyers- Hey if they are looking and not shopping or getting ready for their holiday, then they usually are pretty serious and not just tire kickers! Less showings, probably, but serious inquiries!

A completely new proposal to save the real estate market. It's not as crazy as you might think!

Dick and Dixie Sells, Your Tampa Bay Florida Connection (Future Home Realty) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 08:56:08 -0500

This definitely is food for thought. I like it, might need limits, but the more I think about it, the more I like it. Now if it could happen.......read on

Via Richard Weisser Coweta Fayette Real Estate ERA United Realty:

A lot of real estate agents are speaking as if the door on real estate sales will be slammed shut if the federal tax credit for first-time homebuyers is not extended. And while this opportunity to collect cash has had a very positive effect on sales in the lower price ranges, it really hasn't meant much to sellers with homes valued in excess of $200,000.

My preference is to let this credit just go away. The expiration of the credit could actually lead us back to a true fair market, where buyers buy because they need a house rather than just trying snag a great deal with future profit potential.

I would like to propose an alternative remedy to help sale in all price ranges. My proposal would really create interest in buyers that could really stimulate the market, and it is the only remedy that I have even seen proposed that would actually correct the mistakes of the past.

The solution I am proposing is to make all down payment monies for a personal residence up to and including a cash sale an income tax deduction. Not a refundable credit, just a deduction against income.

This also would encourage buyers with both cash and significant incomes to get back into the market. It would lead us back to the days when more down payment was better, and smaller mortgages would prevent the short position debacle that we are experiencing today.

The higher end market would see an extensive boost in sales, and prices would stabilize. And once again, homeowners will be encouraged to have equity in their homes to cushion them against negative market forces.

So what do you think? A dollar for dollar tax deduction for down payments on a house sounds like a good idea to me!
