virginia beach: So you think you can't buy because the banks aren't lending? - 09/14/10 11:57 AM
Regardless of where I go, I talk to many people, while standing in the line at the local 7-11 to sitting at Starbucks. If there is a person near me I strike up a conversation. Generally we talk about real estate, I am asked the same question over and over again "I can't buy because the banks aren't lending".
The truth is simple, the banks have to lend, the only real product that the banks have to sell is cash, and they do it by making loans for houses and cars. As we all know the rules have tightened up, buyers have to … (4 comments)

virginia beach: Understanding the American Dream - 08/20/10 02:22 PM
The American dream, and the foundation of America is the ownership of real estate for over 200 years. Originally property ownership was considered so important that only property owners could vote. Even today, I meet people from other parts of the world who's goal it is to purchase a home in America.
Even though real estate has suffered, so has the stock and bond market. Real Estate offers what these other investment can not. Real Estate is finite, the government can't make more of it! Each parcel of real estate is unique, and as such it has real value. This … (2 comments)

virginia beach: Discount brokerage isn't a bad word! - 06/17/10 03:43 PM
The real estate industry has certain business practices that are considered “normal” one such business practice is the brokerage fee. Under federal and state law, it is illegal for brokers, or their agents, to discuss with other brokers and agents their brokerage fees This could be construed as price fixing. When home sellers need to sell, and turn to a real estate professional, why do they hear the same argument, from each real estate agent, justifying 6% listings? Traditional real estate agents look down at discount agents fearing that, by saving the home seller money, they are giving a bad name … (0 comments)

virginia beach: Zoning in a nut shell – Zoning Districts - 11/20/07 10:18 PM
When working in residential resale zoning rarely ever becomes an issue short of specifying the correct zoning code on the listing form. However, in commercial real estate zoning is particularly important, localities use zoning designations to control where business can operate from based on the type or category of the business.
For example, a manufacture of steel plates would be unable to conduct its business in an area with an O-1 zoning.
In Virginia Beach we have many different Zoning Districts, the one district that most real estate agents are familiar with is the Residential District which is denoted as R-X and Planned … (1 comments)

I was just talking to a neighbor of mine who purchased his home a little over 2 years ago, he wanted to know how much he cold expect to get for it. When I told him what homes in our neighborhood are selling he already knew that he wouldn't be able to get what he thought he could, but he told me that he would have any money, and would be paying to sell his house! He has orders to move to Japan and wasn't sure what to do. Becuase I am now offering property management I suggested that he rent his home, and … (2 comments)

virginia beach: Virginia Beach - What I remember as a young boy - 10/25/07 07:02 PM
I grew up in Virginia beach since age 7, after moving here from Ohio. As a young boy and teenager I have vivid memories of blue crabs. During the summer all of the neighborhood kids would purchase chicken legs and head to the apartment complexes boat dock.
We would than tie one piece of chick to a string of chicken and toss it in. Before you knew it, there were 20 or so lines in the water. Eventually, the lines would tighten and we would net our crabs. This would go on for hours. Eventually we had several coolers and boxes … (2 comments)

virginia beach: It is Monday.. Now what does the market look like today - 10/22/07 09:16 AM
I still think it is odd that we are in a strong buyers market, were the sellers are just giving away closing cost assistance, and the builders are including granite counter tops, tiled floors, sprinkler systems and in some cases 10 to 20,000 dollars contributions towards closing costs and down payments. So are the buyers really not buying? Based on the reports I ran this morning for the areas that I work ( Virginia Beach and Chesapeake ) home purchases dropped, significantly for the month of October compared to the same time frame a year ago.
Here is the current market report YTD ( October 22, 2007 ) … (0 comments)

virginia beach: Is it a good time to ... ? - 03/21/07 05:19 PM
Every day that I am out at Startbucks, or going door to door in Virginia Beach or Chesapeake I get the same basic question from buyers and sellers. "Is it a good time to Buy?" or "Is it a good time to sell?".

Looking at our local MLS today we have 223 new listings in Hampton Roads, 103 pending sales and 94 sold this is pretty much the average for our … (0 comments)
