fair oaks: Smart Sellers Appreciate their Realtors... - 09/21/11 03:28 PM
A tale of two sales.  Both homes listed after advise, tweaking, repairs, decluttering, late night spent on pricing strategy and market analysis.

fair oaks: Should a Seller disclose EVERYTHING? Not always! - 09/11/11 10:55 AM
Should a Seller disclose EVERYTHING? I used to think so, until I listed CW's* home. "I can't fill out the Transfer Disclosure Statement", she said. "If I do no one will buy this home".
"REALLY??"  I'm thinking mold in the attic and a dead body in the backyard.

fair oaks: Those interest rate reduction notices may be legitimate! - 07/01/11 10:07 AM
I keep getting notices from banks, including my own, that they will lower my interest rate on my home mortgage into the 3s with no fees.  Yeah, right... same day that pigs fly, I think. But it's actually true. I heard it on Clark Howard's radio show!
