HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY ALL!!! i am proud to be an American! - 05/30/11 09:15 AM
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY ALL!!!The words from Lee Groonwood say it best...If tomorrow all the things were gone,I'd worked for all my life.And I had to start again,with just my children and my wife.
I'd thank my lucky stars,to be livin here today.‘ Cause the flag still stands for freedom,and they can't take that away.
And I'm proud to be an American,where at least I know I'm free.And I wont forget the men who died,who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,next to you and defend her still today.‘ Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,God bless … (6 comments)

What is the #1 Tip or advice you would give for BUYING A SHORT SALE? - 05/25/11 09:50 AM
One of the most asked questions is What is the #1 Tip or advice you would give for BUYING A SHORT SALE? Buyers and their agents often ask why wasn't this offer accepted and why did it take so long. First there is no law that states the bank has to complete a short sale, they only lose money and make it as hard as possible. While that is the thought of most, if submitted correctly, you have a very good chance of making it work and if submitted incorrectly or missing anything, you may be doomed from the start.  As a leading listing … (2 comments)

A YEAR LATER... HOW DO YOU GRADE THE 2010 HOME OWNERS CREDIT? HOW DID IT AFFECT YOUR LOCAL MARKET? - 05/23/11 12:36 PM
It was just over a year ago the Federal Home Owners credit was in full swing.

The median sales price actually increased last year during April by 8%.This year NH had 809 homes sell which is a decline from last April which figures were inflated due to the Rebates.  Sales were … (2 comments)

Some sellers will take a lower cash offer for that peace of mind of a sure sale.In this market the buyer who needs a mortgage can not always compete.But they can increase their odds...

If a buyer agent calls that an offer is coming in... Would you call your seller immediately or wait until you at in hand? - 05/07/11 09:30 AM
The question of the day is : Would you tell your seller that there "May be an offer coming in"?If you have ever listed a property, we all get these scenarios, there is a showing, the showing agent or buying agent calls and says we will be putting in an offer. You sit up straght, excitement stirs, a smile may come tio your face and then you wait for it to arrive. The next step is the most controversial... Do you call your seller and let them know the good news that an offer "may be" coming in, most agents will … (11 comments)

How to kill a short sale in 3 easy lessons. Nevermind the tips on how to complete, you need to watch out for what to avoid. - 05/02/11 09:35 AM
There are plenty of blogs with instructions telling you how to complete a short sale or how to buy a short sale, but none seem to focus on the things you should avoid at all cost that could kill your short sale dead in the water. #1. LISTING PRICEThe most important thing to note is that the listing price is not set by the bank, one of the largest killers of short sales is the listing agent prices the home too low (below market value) and the bank counters at current market value or declines the short sale all together.
