Niceville Chamber of Commerce email for support of Niceville High School Eagles playing for State 4A this week

Brandon Jordan (Coldwell Banker United Realtors) — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 23:36:53 -0600

Our own Niceville High School Eagles are headed to Orlando this week to
play for the State 4A Championship at the Citrus Bowl!

The Band will be going to show our support to the team and has requested
donations to assist them with the expenses of more than $130 per person.
If you are interested in giving them a donation please contact them
directly at 833-4114 or send a check to the attention of NHS Band
Boosters 800 John Sims Parkway, Niceville FL 32578.

Also, please be aware that some out of town businesses have been
telemarketing in our area selling sponsorships for promotional items at
this event. Proceeds from these do not go to the school, they are
private enterprises.

I encourage anyone with a marquee outside their business to post support
for the team as soon as possible!

Thank you for supporting our hometown team - GO EAGLES!

Does this mean I am wasting my time on Free BPO'S

Brandon Jordan (Coldwell Banker United Realtors) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 00:34:57 -0600

Dear Brandon,

First I'd like to thank you for all your hard work on our files. Due to the current pressure from the government to provide loan modifications and loan workouts, our REO volume has been lower than expected and we have experienced this trend throughout the entire United States. However we are projecting a strong 4th quarter and 2010. Based on your current standing with USRES, you are absolutely eligible to receive any REO assignment that presents itself within your coverage area.

We appreciate your understanding during these times, please don't hesitate to follow up with vendor management for any questions you might have.

Best Regards,

Amanda Honore

FDIC looking to work with them on REO foreclosure listings from asset management

Brandon Jordan (Coldwell Banker United Realtors) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 00:24:17 -0600

Brandon;

Thanks for the info.

I am sorry to have to tell you that first, we do not have any REO on hand and secondly, as a receivership of the FDIC we are prohibited from marketing any assets we may have.

Our assets are only marketed through portfolio auction sales.

The above was what I received in an email this week when attempting to contact an asset manager that was listed as the receivership assistance contractor project manager/ Asset Manager on the FDIC website.

When the banks are taken over as a failed bank, I thought the assets were moved to the new ownership and that this would be a good way to get in position to help with any assets in my area that they may receive would be to contact them as one of the first to contact them after the bank has failed after the recent bank failures this past week.

Is there any suggestions?

Is a Vegetarian Real Estate Agent More Trustworthy?

Brandon Jordan (Coldwell Banker United Realtors) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:03:20 -0600

A thank you to the VeggieReeltor.com for sharing his story.

Join my new Active Rain group Vegan Realtors

An Open Letter to My Fellow Vegetarians

Are you a vegetarian or vegan preparing to buy or sell a house? Are you dreading the thought of the contact you will be forced to have with real estate agents, as part of the process (the same way most people dread upcoming encounters with used car salesmen)? You are not alone!

Several weeks into the homebuying process, a client confided in me: "We were very nervous about the prospect of becoming involved with a realtor. The truth is that we had never met one we liked. We're so thankful to Victor for having referred us to you. Our experience with you has come as a tremendous relief."

Why would it matter that you, as a vegetarian, have a real estate agent who is also a vegetarian? Simply stated, it's a matter of shared values, an approach to life and a way of relating to others. If you've been a vegetarian (or vegan) for any length of time, you know what I mean.

I began following a vegetarian lifestyle more than 30 years ago, as a teenager. At that time, it was considered quite a radical move (especially in the conservative Midwest, where I was living at the time). There were far fewer vegetarians and far fewer options in terms of vegetarian dining and food products than there are today.

One of my greatest sources of pride is that my family followed me in my decision to stop eating meat. Even my grandmother, who lived to the venerable age of 101, enthusiastically joined in. And my father, a psychologist, wrote a book on the subject, as an outgrowth of his initial concern for my health.

When I lived in Asia, my dietary practices obliged me to seek out vegetarian restaurants, where I made many friends, kindred spirits, whom I otherwise would not have gotten to know. And the connection in Asia between vegetarianism and Buddhism led me along a spiritual journey that has enriched my life beyond description.

It seems my destiny in life to be a sort of oddball, to gravitate toward involvements and activities where most people would not expect to find me. So it is that I enjoy the distinction, for example, of being the only non-ethnically Chinese real estate broker in the Bay Area who is fluent in (Mandarin) Chinese. I may not be the only vegetarian real estate broker in the area or the only one who happens to be a former college teacher but I am certainly a member of a small minority in either regard.

Why should the real estate profession be the exclusive domain of meat-eating right-wing conservatives? I don't think I have to apologize for my presence in a profession that is overwhelmingly populated with people who don't share many if not most of my views. I believe there is a need for people with my perspective, values and sensibilities, for a number of reasons, not the least of which is to offer an alternative to consumers like the client quoted above.

I don't make nearly as much money as many of my colleagues. I drive a 94 Honda. I don't wear flashy clothes and I don't live in a big, fancy house.

That's because I often do things that do not serve to advance my financial interests. I encourage people to buy less expensive houses, for instance, to make their payments more affordable and to live within their means. Sometimes, I advise people not to buy or sell at all, simply because I honestly think that's the most intelligent option. Much of my work is done on a pro bono basis.

Depending on the size of the transaction and the work involved, I offer either commission discounts to sellers or "rebates" to buyers (to help pay for certain closing costs). Or that money can be donated to your favorite vegetarian or animal rights group, if you prefer.

Fortunately for me, I have a supportive spouse, who shares my values and perspective, with whom I also have the pleasure of working together, as a team, on a daily basis.

Frankly, I would rather make a more modest living, working with people I enjoy helping, than making more money while interacting with people I don't enjoy helping.

I began my career in real estate more than 20 years ago, here in the Bay Area, so what I have to offer goes well beyond a value system and particular set of sensibilities or financial incentives. I have a wealth of experience to draw upon, for the benefit of my clients.

If you've read this far, you probably have a serious interest in finding someone suitable to represent you in your real estate transaction. I would like to suggest that you review two other web pages, which will not take you more than a few minutes: the Testimonials and 25 Advantages pages at our main website. For most people, buying or selling a house is the biggest financial transaction they ever engage in, so another ten minutes of reading is highly appropriate.

At that point, you should have enough of a feeling about the kind of person I am and the unique combination of benefits I am offering, to decide whether you would like to speak with me about buying or selling a home.

Is a Vegetarian Real Estate Agent More Trustworthy?

Posted by: Prashant Gopal on July 31

A San Francisco Bay-area real estate broker is targeting his message to an unlike group of buyers and sellers: Vegetarians. I'm not sure what an agent's eating habits have to do with his ability to sell houses, but I'm sure the pitch is more likely to work in San Francisco than, say, Houston.

This is how Daniel Berman of Pacific Century Realty explains it on his VeggieReeltor.com Web site (Yes, that's how the URL is spelled), in an "Open Letter to My Fellow Vegetarians:"

Why would it matter that you, as a vegetarian, have a real estate agent who is also a vegetarian? Simply stated, it's a matter of shared values, an approach to life and a way of relating to others. If you've been a vegetarian (or vegan) for any length of time, you know what I mean.

BOCA group I just started on Facebook

Brandon Jordan (Coldwell Banker United Realtors) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:42:14 -0600

I noticed MorningStar Farms had a facebook page and I couldn't believe that BOCA foods didnt have one.

so I started this one up.

BOCA You've figured out the key to balance starts with what's inside you. And that means you and BOCA have a lot in common. Here's how it

Company Overview:

You've figured out the key to balance starts with what's inside you. And that means you and BOCA have a lot in common.

Here's how it all began: BOCA Burger was born when a Boca Raton chef felt he could make a great veggie burger his way. It became such hit that he had to set up shop in a warehouse next to his restaurant- his small kitchen simply couldn't keep up with demand. Sure it wasn't the showiest of beginnings, but what mattered most was what was his idea and standards.

We've never lost sight of that way of thinking. Made with the nutritious goodness of soy, BOCA foods help you get protein, fiber and calcium-substantial nutrition that helps you live a balanced life. BOCA and you believe the same thing... that the road to better balance starts with what's inside us.

Mission:

You hear about it all the time... but why exactly is soy so good for you?

Well, studies have shown that consuming 25 grams of soy protein daily- with a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol- may decrease a person's overall LDL cholesterol levels (the bad cholesterol). And this can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

In 1999, the Food and Drug Administration ruled in favor of "heart-healthy" labeling for certain soy products. As it appears on packages, the claim states that, "25 grams of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease."

And that's just part of soy's good news.

Soy protein is considered a source of high quality protein with nine essential amino acids. And it's easily digestible.

And the Goodness Goes Way Back
Soy isn't a new trend. These humble beans first caught on as long ago as 2838 BC in China, where they were considered one of five sacred grains. Soybeans journeyed west, eventually making it to America in 1765.

Inventive chefs have been dreaming up nutritious and delicious recipes with the beans ever since. If you're looking for an easy way to add soy to your diet, there are many varieties of soy-based foods- like BOCA- that give you options for adding soy to every meal.

Products:

With tasty meatless choices like these, you'll never run out of ways to spice up mealtime - while getting more nutrients you need. Look for your favorites, including those made with organic soy and other natural ingredients.

Worthington Loma Linda foods

I did recall the Morningstar Farms had at one time said they were made in Worthington Ohio. I noticed they do make a hot dog, which is nice since Morning Star no longer does wondering if anyone has seen this product and if anyone on here has tried it.
