      <title>Appraised Value - What Exactly Is It?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;In pretty much any home transaction, the home needs to be &lt;strong&gt;appraised&lt;/strong&gt; before the lender will give out any money for the home.&amp;nbsp; An &lt;strong&gt;appraiser &lt;/strong&gt;is hired to do this job and find the appraised value of the home. Home appraisal is not an exact science, it is an opinion of value determined objectively.&amp;nbsp; Chances are, if you have 10 appraisers appraise the same house, you will get varying levels of appraised value.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are a few reasons why appraisals are conducted. While the most common one in a real estate transaction is usually based on market value, a few of the other reasons include:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Replacement Value&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Assessed Value for Property Tax&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Insurance Value&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;When the market conditions change, so do appraised values. It will never be constant. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lenders will use which ever is lower between the sales price or the appraised value, in order to determine how much mortgage amount they will offer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have any questions about buying or selling your home, please contact me, &lt;strong&gt;Eric D. Bolton, REALTOR&lt;/strong&gt;. I will be pleased to help you in any way.

      <title>Four Strangers and One Friend</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;It started with me showing one of my listings this morning. I wasn&amp;#39;t able to show it yesterday because the seller was being uncooperative. The buyer was patient enough and liked the house to come back this morning. We did. He liked the house, took some pictures, and I explained to him how it would work if I&amp;#39;m representing both him and the seller. Afterwards, I passed out listing postcards to the neighbors and left after doing a couple blocks. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I went a direction I normally would not have gone. And I stopped by the store before I went to my full time job to pick up a few things. I took my time leaving the parking lot and was driving towards my work when I saw some cars stopped at a four way stop, and when I drove past I rubbernecked. Like most of us would. And there was a man laying on the street with his face propped up by the curb. Blood was all over his face and on the pavement. He looked dead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My mouth must have been agape and I said a quick prayer. Because there&amp;#39;s nothing that I would be able to do I thought. People were around him, I&amp;#39;d just be in the way. Then I was told to turn around and go pray over him. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, I&amp;#39;m not going to argue with God. I sometimes don&amp;#39;t always listen. That&amp;#39;s usually about stuff he tells me not to do. And it usually doesn&amp;#39;t involve another human being laying bloody on the street.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I turned around and got out of the car. I had never seen a dead body before that wasn&amp;#39;t in a casket. Each step I took, I didn&amp;#39;t want to go closer. &amp;quot;You don&amp;#39;t know if he is dead. Do you know if he knows My Son yet?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;What if this is his last few minutes on this earth?&amp;quot; Ok.. Ok.. Not my will.. But Yours I said.. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As I walked across the street he had moved his head. Praise God. He wasn&amp;#39;t dead. A lady was on the phone calling 911. Some people were just looking at him and walked away. A lady with some dry cleaning came down and placed a blanket under his head to elevate it and talked to him. I kneeled down next to him, placed my hand on his shoulder and just started to pray for him. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He wasn&amp;#39;t hit by a car. I overheard that he had a seizure and fell. No one around me knew him. He would go in and out of conscienceness and I would talk to him, call him my brother and pray over him. Dry Cleaning Lady would talk to him to keep his eyes open. I looked at Cell Phone Lady and she just got off the phone with 911 and she said she had his phone. I asked her to look thru the directory to find someone that might look it would be a relative. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I continued to pray over him and hold his shoulder. He couldn&amp;#39;t form words and didn&amp;#39;t know what was going on. I just prayed that Jesus be with him and that any injury be healed quickly. He started to become more coherant, and Cell Phone Lady found his Dad&amp;#39;s number. But Dad&amp;#39;s in Houston. 200 miles away from the four way stop at Silicon and Fairinon. He seemed to move when I spoke about Jesus. So, I knew that I was there for a reason. Even when I could do nothing more. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The ambulance arrived when we found out his name was Jason. The EMTs came out and recognized him as helping him before. He lives in the apartments about 150 yards from the four way stop. He&amp;#39;s had seizures before. Apparently he hasn&amp;#39;t been taking his medicine. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Dad wanted to talk to the EMT. I knew everything was going to be all right. Dry Cleaning Lady had already started walking down the sidewalk. I got up, turned around and exchanged looks of &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;m not sure I was any help, but thank you anyways&amp;quot; with Cell Phone Lady, and we walked to our respective cars. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I drove past Dry Cleaning Lady and saw Cell Phone Lady drive off in my rear view mirror. Three strangers with nothing in common other than a fourth stranger in need of help. . All coming together through the events of the past few hours and continuing on and adjusting for the time we spend there. But even after the three of us left the fourth who we now know as Jason wasn&amp;#39;t alone, a Friend remained. A Friend named Jesus. For He is a Friend that will sticketh closer than a brother. He will never leave you nor forsake you. And I felt confident that Jason would be ok.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I know that there&amp;#39;s a lot more going on in this world with wars over seas and fires threatening cities. So, a man who hasn&amp;#39;t been taking his meds might not seem like a big deal. But if we don&amp;#39;t stop to talk, call, or pray for these single people. Why the heck are we fighting the fires and the wars over seas?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;God Bless you all my friends. If and when you pray, can you please say a quick prayer for Jason. It doesn&amp;#39;t have to be much. Just something to help him out a bit.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Build a Professional Database</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;We have databases for buyers. We have a datbases for sellers. We have our SOI. We have past clients. But don&amp;#39;t we need a database of professionals as well.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To find some, it&amp;#39;s just as easy as opening your phone book and starting with the letter A.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Accountants&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Appraisers&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Attorneys&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Auto Sales&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bankers&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Chamber of Commerce&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Chiropractor&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Computer Repairs&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Counselors&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Dentists&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Engineers&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Entertainment Industry&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Florists&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Furniture Stores&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Gas Station Owners&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hair Dressors&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Health Insurance&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;House Cleaning&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Insurance Agents&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jewelers&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Limosine Service&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Martial Arts&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Newspapers&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Optometrists&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pediatrician&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pest Control Services&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Photography&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Religious Leaders&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Restaurant Owners&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Roofers&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Self-Improvement&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tax Preparers&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;VFW&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Website Services&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;YMCA&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have a list of professionals that you keep in contact frequently. They will have a Realtor that they may keep front of mind when they&amp;nbsp;or someone they know might need one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eric D.

      <title>Understanding What Makes Up Your Credit Score</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.condometropolis.com/images/credit_score_blue.jpg&quot; height=&quot;250&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; alt=&quot; &quot; width=&quot;208&quot; /&gt;Pretty much anything that you do these days requires a credit check. Whether it is buying a new car, car insurance, furniture, credit cards and a home. Unless you have the blessings of everything in cash, chances are you have to face this number often.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Typical credit scores can range from 400 to 800.&amp;nbsp; There are some that are lower than 400, and chances are it will be next to impossible to get them what they want.&amp;nbsp; We&amp;#39;re often judged by our credit. Ways that will affect your credit score can be any of the following:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;Credit History&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. How long have you had credit? Lenders will look more favorably to ones who have had it longer, than those who do not.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;Payment History&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. Have you paid them on time? Have you paid them early? Have you paid them at all? &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;Credit Owed&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp; You might have over extended yourself if you happen to owe money on quite a bit of accounts.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;Types of Credit&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. Lenders like to see a variaty of credit types. Take for instance a car loan and credit cards for example.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;Do You Have New Credit.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Even if paid ahead of time, new credit can be considered too risky for some lenders.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more information about &lt;strong&gt;understanding your credit score&lt;/strong&gt;, contact a Loan Officer or visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myfico.com&quot;&gt;www.myfico.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For information about buying a new home. Give me a call. &lt;strong&gt;210.918.0307&lt;/strong&gt;. I can help you get in touch with a Loan Officer who can see how much home you can pre-qualify for.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eric D.

      <title>Make Your Home Shine Bright -  Some Tips About Getting Your Home Ready to Sell</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;You&amp;#39;ve entered your empty nest years.&amp;nbsp; Your youngest child has just disappeared down the street headed for that out of town university.&amp;nbsp; You notice that the five bedroom house is just too much now. So, you begin to ponder the pros and cons about selling the house your family has grown up in.&amp;nbsp; You hire a Realtor and sign all the paperwork. The sign is in the front yard, the keybox is on the front door. And you&amp;#39;re just waiting for the house to sell. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A few weeks go by and a few people come around. Some people are interested and some are not.&amp;nbsp; A month goes by and you don&amp;#39;t understand. What is taking so long?&amp;nbsp; The truth is, many houses stay on the market for several months before they are sold. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One way to make sure that your home is sold sooner than later is&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;look into &amp;quot;Staging.&amp;quot; Staging is a newer concept used to help highlight the home in it&amp;#39;s best light.&amp;nbsp; You could hire&amp;nbsp; a professional to come in and decorate the home, or you can just add a few things to highlight areas of interest in the home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the things your Real Estate Agent should have you do at the beginning is to make sure you start depersonalizing your home.&amp;nbsp; You&amp;#39;ve put a lot of emotional value into your home.&amp;nbsp; From the paint job and shelves in your daughters room to the deck you built yourself.&amp;nbsp; The fact of the matter is, the buyer will not see these as any added value to the home, even though you do.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s a pretty good idea to make the home as blank canvas as you can, so any new buyer can come in and make the memories theirs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s very important that you do not have any personal and family photos laying around.&amp;nbsp; This is especially imoportant if you have little children.&amp;nbsp; Almost every Realtor puts pictures of the home on the internet.&amp;nbsp; So, we would want to make sure that we don&amp;#39;t accidently put our children in any danger by showing pictures of them and their address on the internet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s also a good idea to pack away the baseball, football and track trophies.&amp;nbsp; These will hold no interest to the potential buyer. Pack them and store them away.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are just a few ideas and suggestions.&amp;nbsp; If you need help getting your house ready to sell and need a Realtor, please contact me, Eric D. Bolton at 210.918.0307 or email at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:eric@ericdbolton.com&quot;&gt;eric@ericdbolton.com&lt;/a&gt;.

      <title>Understanding Real Estate Terminology</title>
      <description>&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Purchasing a home can be a complicated and confusing process, especially for first-time buyers.&amp;nbsp; Throughout the process, first-time home buyers will encounter a variety of unfamiliar real state terms. There are several key terms associates with purchasing real estate that are helpful to learn.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; For example, many buyers confuse the terms &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;broker&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;salesperson&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; A broker is a properly licensed individual, or corporation, who serves as a special agent in the purchase and sale of real estate, a salesperson is an individual employed or associated by written agreement by the broker as an independent contractor.&amp;nbsp; The salesperson facilitates the purchase or sale of real estate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Once you decide to purchase, a salesperson will prepare &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;a sales contract&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;to present to the seller along with your &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;earnest money&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; deposit.&amp;nbsp; The sales contract is the document through which the seller agrees to give possession and title of property to the buyer upon full payment of the purchase price and performance of agreed-upon conditions.&amp;nbsp; The earnest money is a buyer&amp;#39;s partial payment, as a show of good faith, to make the contract binding.&amp;nbsp; Often, the earnest money is held in an &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;escrow&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; account.&amp;nbsp; Escrow is the process by which money is held by a disinterested party until the terms of the escrow instructions are fulfilled. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; After the buyer and seller have signed the contract, the buyer must obtain a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;mortgage note&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;by presenting the contract to a mortgage lender.&amp;nbsp; The note is the buyer&amp;#39;s promise to pay the purchase price of the real estate in addition to a stated interest rate over a specified period of time.&amp;nbsp; A mortgage lender places a lien on the property, or &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;mortgage&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, and this secures the mortgage note. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The buyer pays &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;interest&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; money to the lender exchange for the use of money borrowed.&amp;nbsp; Interest is usually referred to as APR or annual percentage rate.&amp;nbsp; Interest is paid on the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;principle&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, the capital sum the buyer owes.&amp;nbsp; Interest payments may be disguised in the form of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;points&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Points are an up-front cost which may be paid by either the buyer or seller or both in conventional loans.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In general, there are two types of conventional loans that a buyer can obtain.&amp;nbsp; A &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;fixed rate loan&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; has the same rate of interest for the life of the loan, usually 14 to 30 years. An &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;adjustable rate loan&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; or adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) provides a discounted initial rate, which changes after a set period of time.&amp;nbsp; The rate can&amp;#39;t exceed the interest rate cap or ceiling allowed on such loans for any one adjustment period.&amp;nbsp; Some ARMs have a lifetime cap on interest.&amp;nbsp; The buyer makes the loan and interest payments to the lender through&lt;strong&gt; &lt;u&gt;amortization&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, the systematic payment and retirement of debt over a set period of time. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Once the contract has been signed and a mortgage note obtained, the buyer and seller must legally close the real estate transaction.&amp;nbsp; The closing is a meeting where the buyer, seller and their attorneys review, sign and exchange the final documents.&amp;nbsp; At the closing, the buyer receives the appraisal report, an estimate of the property&amp;#39;s value with the appraiser&amp;#39;s signature, certification and sporting documents.&amp;nbsp; The buyer also receives the title and the deed.&amp;nbsp; The title shows evidence of the buyer&amp;#39;s ownership of the property while the deed legally transfers the title from the seller to the buyer.&amp;nbsp; The final document the buyer receives at closing is a title insurance policy, insurance against the loss of the title if it&amp;#39;s found to be imperfect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Buyers should plan on a least four to twelve weeks for a typical real estate transaction.&amp;nbsp; The process is difficult and at times, intimidating.&amp;nbsp; A general understanding of real estate terminology and chronology of the transaction, however, will help any real estate novice to confidently buy his or her first home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you need more classes on Real Estate Lingo.. Give me a call.. Eric D. Bolton, at 210.918.0307 and I can help you out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ericdbolton.com&quot;&gt;www.ericdbolton.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Buyer Beware</title>
      <description>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;A sure way to end up with sleepless nights and worry-filled days is to buy a home that is more expensive than you can really afford. Large mortgage payments, combined with utility bills, taxes and insurance can equal more debt than your income can support. The best way to avoid such a scenario is to think long and hard about what price range you are going to explore. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many web sites offer mortgage calculators that use variables you input (i.e. expected down payment, salary, other debts / loans, etc.) to determine the maximum monthly payment you can afford. This is a useful exercise, but it does not mean you must buy in that price bracket. Instead consult with your Realtor&amp;reg; and see what a little less might buy you. Perhaps you don&amp;#39;t need the extra bedroom or the biggest lot. If you can make concessions and live with a little less, it may help you in the long run. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember there will always be unforeseen events that can quickly put you in financial jeopardy if you have bitten off more than you can chew. Some serious examples include medical illness or job loss. But there are smaller events that can have serious implications too. An unexpected house repair, a car accident, or a hike in property taxes can tip the scales pretty quickly if you are already stretched too thin. You can avoid being caught in the red by working with your real estate agent to find the property that meets your needs and your budget.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you don&amp;#39;t want to get stuck getting a house that is more than you can handle. Contact Eric D. Bolton&amp;nbsp; at 210.918.0307 or email at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:eric@ericdbolton.com&quot;&gt;eric@ericdbolton.com&lt;/a&gt;. I&amp;#39;ll make sure that you&amp;#39;re comfortable with your upcoming purchase and do my best to show you what the future might hold with payments on the house before you go to the closing table.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Sometimes Voicemails Give You False Hope</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Last week I got a phone call from a business that said they were looking for a Realtor to work with &lt;strong&gt;foreclosed homes&lt;/strong&gt;. But my phone has been acting up and I didn&amp;#39;t even know they called. I got the voice mail a couple days later. When I finally found out they called, I made a mental not to call back. Welp, I forgot. My fault. I didn&amp;#39;t want to call back a week later to look like a jerk calling only when I have time..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.foothillsteam.com/images/USHUDlogo.jpg&quot; height=&quot;89&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; alt=&quot; &quot; width=&quot;235&quot; /&gt;So, I got the call again yesterday. YES! I returned the phone call right away and they said they were from US HUD. I admitted I never heard of them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They said they were looking for &lt;strong&gt;EXCLUSIVE AGENTS&lt;/strong&gt; for my area. I was like.. Oh yeah.. I&amp;#39;ll fax the rep agreement. But they weren&amp;#39;t going that way. He explained the info when I realized, it was a service.&amp;nbsp; &lt;em&gt;Cranberry Sauce!! &lt;/em&gt;Now I knew what was coming. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Is this a service you offer?&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Yes&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Like a membership?&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He gave a canned response.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;How much does it cost?&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;We can waive the set up fee and it will be a monthly fee of $199.00/month&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Umm... yeah! Not so much. But I thank you for calling&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, this is just a notice to anyone that might get a voice mail from someone saying they need &lt;strong&gt;EXCLUSIVE AGENTS&lt;/strong&gt;. It may not be as cool as it seems....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;POPOZAO!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For Information On Buying or Selling A Home. Please contact Eric D.

      <title>When Moving: Don't Forget</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Moving day is typically a high-stress occasion. No matter how organized and prepared you are, there is always a chance for a few things to fall through the cracks. Here are seven things to remember on the day of the big move. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Keep all valuables in your possession. This includes important paperwork, collections, family photos, jewelry, heirlooms, checkbooks, wallet/purse and the like. You do not want to hand these over to movers if possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Charge your mobile phone and keep it with you. In addition, take along your address book. And before the movers depart, be sure to exchange contact information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Remember to ask for a copy of the inventory from the movers. You should also note the condition of your property before they leave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Take out cash for incidentals. You may need to fill the gas tank or need money for lunch on the road. If the move is taking place within one day, you will want to tip the movers if the job is completed to your satisfaction. A good rule of thumb is $20 per mover. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Final payment for the moving company is traditionally due upon completion of the move. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Don&amp;#39;t forget medications. Like your valuables, it is better to keep medications for you and your family members or pets with you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Check the house before you leave. Turn off the lights and turn down the thermostat and hot water heater. Give each room a final once over. Lock all the windows and doors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For Information On Buying or Selling A Home.

Bolton, REALTOR. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to Move for Free with EDB? email me at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:eric@ericdbolton.com&quot;&gt;eric@ericdbolton.com&lt;/a&gt; for information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Email at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:eric@ericdbolton.com&quot;&gt;eric@ericdbolton.com&lt;/a&gt; and request to subscibe to newsletter&lt;br /&gt;or just visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ericdbolton.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.ericdbolton.com/&lt;/a&gt; for more information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Three Big Questions When Selling Your Home</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;You&amp;#39;ve seen the stories on the news and read the articles in the newspaper. The cyclical real estate market has taken a turn and conditions in most parts of the country now favor the buyer. Often referred to as a &amp;quot;buyer&amp;#39;s market,&amp;quot; this means that the inventory of homes for sale exceeds the consumer demand. As a result, buyers can be more selective and more conservative with their offers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that does not mean all hope is lost if you need or want to sell your home now. Use these three steps to help your home go from &amp;quot;For Sale&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;Sold.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.coloradohomehelper.com/images/sold.jpg&quot; height=&quot;166&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; alt=&quot; &quot; width=&quot;250&quot; /&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;Price It&lt;/strong&gt; - The number one thing you can do to help your home sell in a buyer&amp;#39;s market is to price it right. A knowledgeable buyer and / or an experienced real estate agent will know value when they see it. If you price the property too high, you are unlikely to receive offers since buyers know there are plenty of properties to choose from. Also, if you are forced to reduce the price bit by bit, buyers will not always revisit an old listing, especially if new offerings are continually being added to the MLS. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;Make it Show &lt;/strong&gt;- Make your property stand out from the rest. Do the required prep work, both inside and out, to give it the curb appeal and charm that will pique buyer interest. Follow the advice of your Realtor&amp;reg; to help the home &amp;quot;show well.&amp;quot; Clean the clutter. Shampoo the carpets. Refinish the floors. Paint the walls. In a buyer&amp;#39;s market you have to do everything you can to make your property rise above the rest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;strong&gt;Choose Wisely&lt;/strong&gt; - Hire a real estate professional who has the experience and network to get your home sold. In a buyer&amp;#39;s market it is critical to have a professional who is working non-stop to set your home apart and bring in potential buyers. A Realtor&amp;reg; will help you set the right price, tell you how to stage the home, and guide you through negotiations. Plus, in these selling conditions, knowledge about the local marketplace is invaluable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For Information On Buying or Selling A Home. Please contact Eric D.

      <title>The New Kid</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.parentworld.com/photos/Full1677.jpg&quot; height=&quot;156&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; alt=&quot; &quot; width=&quot;132&quot; /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lots of adults have difficulty dealing with change, so it should be no surprise that many children have the same trouble. And in a child&amp;#39;s world, almost nothing is as big as moving and changing schools. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are several things you can do to make it a little easier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Visit the school before the first day. At the very least, you want your child to see the school from the outside. If possible, arrange for a tour. Many schools have newcomer programs that partner a student ambassador with a transferred student. Inquire if your new school system offers such a service. If not, consider asking a child from your new neighborhood to help out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Your personal outlook about the move will greatly influence your child&amp;#39;s perspective. Remember you are not only a parent, but a role model too. If you are not thrilled with the change, try not to let your feelings color your child&amp;#39;s experience. Try to be positive and upbeat about the move. It will help your child approach the situation with a similar attitude. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Kids need to feel they are loved and supported, especially during times of change. Make sure you are available to listen and talk. Although you are likely to be overwhelmed yourself with unpacking, meeting new people, and even a new job, you should make your child&amp;#39;s needs a top priority. And if they come to you with a concern or fear, don&amp;#39;t gloss over their worries. Explore how they are feeling and brainstorm answers together. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Create and stick to a daily routine. Most children thrive under a structured schedule. Create before and after school routines that will help them adjust to life in their new home and their new school. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Show your child how much you care by getting involved where you can. Meet their new friends. Attend sports games. Introduce yourself to the other parents. Children may not always show it, but they appreciate this type of interest and support.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For Information On Buying or Selling A Home. Please contact Eric D. Bolton, REALTOR. &lt;br /&gt;Email at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:eric@ericdbolton.com&quot;&gt;eric@ericdbolton.com&lt;/a&gt; and request to subscibe to newsletter&lt;br /&gt;or just visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ericdbolton.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.ericdbolton.com/&lt;/a&gt; for more information.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

And&amp;nbsp;I think it&amp;#39;s a good one. Market myself as if I&amp;#39;m running a campaign. So, here is my official post that I am throwing my hat into the Realtor race for the 2007-2008 year. :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My plan is to make other banners like these. That have the election theme to them. Even go stand out on corners passing out flyers or items with my nameand web address no them. I think that people will remember that than a post card or sign in a front yard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, all I gotta do is make the copies, make the items, and make a sandwich board that says the same.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;CHOOSE BOLTON IN 2007-2008&lt;/p&gt;</description>
