EPA to toughen air standards fro Lousiville - 06/23/07 08:22 AM
The U-S Environmental Protection Agency wants to toughen the federal clean-air standard for smog, and Louisville is expected to be affected.  A plan E-P-A administrator Stephen Johnson proposed yesterday for ozone levels could keep the Louisville Metro area out of compliance until at least 2020. Communities that fail to meet federal ozone standards can find it harder to attract new industries or expand existing ones. They also must go through more rigorous transportation planning. Based on the most recent E-P-A data, 24 counties in Kentucky and 26 in Indiana are among those nation-wide that might have to further cut ground-level ozone. … (0 comments)

Paducah and the International Quilt Show - 06/22/07 07:46 AM
Much of Paducah Kentucky shifts its focus to the Quilt Show for the entire week, so many things about the show don't change. It's always held at The Executive Inn (the Big E), the big hotel on the river, which is adjacent to the city's Convention Center. There are lots of local luncheons and dinners, and Broadway, the main street, gives way to fabric-frenzied Quilters. There has been much worry and gossip if the International Quilt Show would remain in Paducah Kentucky or not next April. The "Big E" has recently sold and the new owner and the organizers of the International Quilt … (3 comments)

The summer market is here in Western Kentucky - 06/22/07 12:07 AM
Well it is officially here...the first day of summer in Kentucky. That means hot weather and a hot real estate market. We can not keep enough medium priced homes in Western Kentucky to sell. The Regional MLS hot list reports on a daily basis that the majority of the homes that fall just under 70,000 or so are being put under contract almost as soon as they are listed. The higher priced homes are taking longer to sell. It could be the economy or it could be people just economizing. Whatever the reason, if you have a home in this range to … (0 comments)

Anti-Trust and board lock boxes...bad or good? - 06/20/07 10:38 PM
Is it an anti-trust violation to use board of realtor's lock boxes? How could that be someone asked...e all use them. That may be the key to the whole nasty ball of wax! The ant-trust laws came from the U S Supreme Court case of United States v. E.C. Knight Co.(1895). The facts of the case were as follows: The Congress passed the Sherman Anti-Trust Act in 1890 as a response to the public concern in the growth of giant combinations controlling transportation, industry, and commerce. The Act aimed to stop the concentration of wealth and economic power in the hands … (0 comments)

But it was in the bankruptcy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 06/20/07 10:09 PM
But it was in the bankruptcy!!!!!!!!!!!! If I have heard this one time....I have heard it one thousand times. First of all lets discuss bankruptcy for a few moments. I had the pleasure of working in the bankruptcy court while training (my younger years) with a local attorney and studied the bankruptcy laws in law school although they have changed greatly since then. We all assume that an attorney does a good job developing and implementing a bankruptcy case..WRONG... not all do a good job at all. A good BK attorney will actually pull your credit to see what is on … (4 comments)

Your friendly local Mortgage Broker....or not! - 06/14/07 10:28 PM
There is a local mortgage broker whom will remain nameless that gets customers to write a postdated check for fees not yet incurred when a pre-qualification for a mortgage loan is issued. I have been in the mortgage business for several years and only recently closed our HUD approved office. This Mortgage Broker asks for the check to "tie the customer" to him.....has anyone else heard of this happening?  I am not certain of the laws regarding this but even if the check was not post dated, is this proper? The check is supposedly for fees to be incurred and for the credit … (5 comments)

Your buyers and credit scores - 06/14/07 12:06 AM
My experience as a real estate licensee and as a mortgage officer have been very insightful. When you have a borrower who has been pre-approved and you and they feel certain that a deal is to be made, this is the exact time to have a frank discussion with them about their credit scores and debt to income. So often when a buyer signs a purchase agreement and it is accepted by the seller, the pressure is off and all feels a closing is close at hand. There is usually not a problem BUT sometimes the buyer will go out and their credit pulled over and … (2 comments)

The secondary mortgage market and pre-approvals - 06/13/07 10:40 PM
I recently closed a HUD approved branch of a mortgage company here in Kentucky. I have had a lot of experience in the mortgage business both as a loan officer and an originator and went to a great deal of trouble to get an office HUD approved and open for business. The problem is the secondary market. As real estate professionals, please beware of pre-approvals and pre-qualification letters as they mean nothing. An Account Executive at a Lender is not a lot different than a Loan Officer at a mortgage company. They both go by guidelines which they believe in earnest are … (2 comments)

Attn: For Sale By Owners - 06/13/07 08:33 PM
Attention: For Sale By Owners
Why Tim Beck can help sell your home. 
Many homeowners believe that to maximize their profit on a home sale they should sell it themselves. At first glance, they feel selling a home is simple and why should they pay a broker fees for something they could do themselves? In fact, close to twenty-five percent all homes sold last year were sold for sale by owner (FSBO).
However, close to half of the FSBO’s said that they would hire a professional next time they sold. Thirty percent said they were unhappy with the results they achieved by choosing … (6 comments)
