Since I've been doing BPOs(broker price opinion...kind of like a mini-appraisal on properties in financial distress) in the north San Diego County area, it has become increasingly obvious that a number of real estate agents in the area have homes with a notice of default(behind on their payments), or are attempting short … (5 comments)

agents: A realtor is paid less than what everyone believes.... - 02/20/08 03:38 PM
Do you know that a realtor does not make 6% of the sales price? When 2 different agents/brokers represent the parties in a real estate transaction (which is what happens most of the time), each side gets 3%. That 3% is then reduced in many ways.

agents: Tax Season! Joy! Realtors can find another job or be like the Eagle - 02/19/08 05:51 PM

agents: Are You a Marketing Specialist or General Practioner? - 02/19/08 08:28 AM
Focus your marketing campaigns by finding your niche. After all you wouldn't go to a tax lawyer when you need a real estate lawyer to write a deed. So why be an "everything" agent when you can carve out your piece of the market to dominate. Wouldn't it be great if anytime … (8 comments)

agents: Avoid having high balances on your credit cards - 02/18/08 04:09 PM
When multiple revolving balances have exceeded their credit limits, credit scores drop substantially. Credit scores are affected when one or more revolving loan balances exceeds 50% of its limit. The risk increases when multiple revolving accounts exceed 50% of their credit limit ratio. The more loans, the greater the impact on … (0 comments)

agents: Is this Really Relief!? - 02/16/08 11:15 PM
The Bush administration is at it again. They've now come up with a new stop gag program not really designed to solve any of the problems home owners are having with the economy and crazy mortgages! However, I guess yet again.....it is something...
