What is the True Cost of Home Ownership? - 09/08/10 08:46 PM
This is a very thorough list of additional costs that every buyer and their agent should have numbers for and review prior to making an offer on a home.  Have the entire package not just the mortgage payment.
Via Claudette Millette - Metrowest Mass Buyer Broker (The Buyers' Counsel):
What is the True Cost of Home Ownership? 
Most potential homeowners begin their planning with the down payment and monthly mortgage amount in mind.  It's an excellent start but anyone who is planning on buying a home needs to be ready to take on the total costs and look beyond the mortgage payment.

I enjoy working with buyers as a buyers' agent.  I also have a variety of listings in my inventory of homes to market.  It's a healthy balance for me.  That's how I like to work.
Via Barbara Todaro (RE/MAX Executive Realty in Franklin, Ma):
After reading and responding to many comments on a post I wrote titled "Need To Balance Your Time? Listing Agents Can Do That" I need to somewhat neutralize that post with another thought.  I continue to be of the opinion that listings are the name of the game.  However, I am not discounting the value of a well versed, highly skilled … (0 comments)

Why Homeownership Beats Renting - 09/04/10 03:50 AM
This is a summary of five reasons why it's better to own than rent today.  The news is continually reflecting bad news about the industry, but there's still no place like home and it's best to own it yourself and not live in someone else's.
Via Kathy Stankard (RE/MAX Executive Realty of Franklin, MA/508-369-5131):
This New York Times article from the other day says it all...
The seemingly endless run of bad housing news is discouraging some potential home buyers from considering a purchase. But the truth is that the advantages of homeownership have very little to do with investment gains. The best … (4 comments)

Talk Is Cheap...Actually It's Free !!!!! - 09/03/10 07:08 PM
I always enjoy networking as a source for finding new business.  It has always worked well for me and the more I network, the more business seems to come my way.
Via Barbara Todaro (RE/MAX Executive Realty in Franklin, Ma):
There were a few posts today that indicated how nervous agents are becoming with the phone not ringing as much as it was previously.  One post written by an agent discussed the option of leaving the business after many years.  This is very sad and should not be happening.  There are too many ways to find business without spending any money at all.  … (2 comments)

Remember Making Phone Calls in Private? - 09/03/10 06:16 PM
I fully agree with Chris Ann about making and taking phone calls in private.  Answering a cell phone in public is rude and annoying to others who are in the area.  Unless it's an emergency, call back later.
Via Chris Ann Cleland, GRI, SFR (Long & Foster, Gainesville, VA):
Remember phone booths?  Stepping into a private area to make a phone call?  I guess I must be a little old fashioned, because the privacy of the phone booth seems much needed today.

THE END OF THE MORTGAGE “BROKER” - 09/03/10 06:11 PM
This is a very well written description which clearly defines the differences between mortgage brokers and loan officers.  It also describes how mortgage broker gets paid after a closing takes place.
Via Phil Stevenson - Miami Mortgage Expert (Mortgage Bankers of Florida):
What?  How can this be?  Realtors are still using Mortgage Brokers left and right, so how can I be saying that this is the end of the Broker?  It's called the Financial Reform, and it is completely changing the mortgage landscape as we know it. 
I have discussed in my previous blogs the effect this reform is having and will continue … (2 comments)
