I've had a few questions in regard to the risk based pricing and what it means to your clients.  These adjustments are not targeted on the 100% purchase programs, but this may vary from lender to lender.  In a nut shell, your clients will qualify for less because the rates will go up … (0 comments)

Since we are a lead generated company I was following up with some leads I recently pulled.  Some phone numbers are good...but for the ones that aren't, I wish they would just enter a really obvious dummy number...you know like 555-1212 or 111-111-1111..This would save me and probably several other people … (1 comments)

Staging is the buzz everywhere, almost every new show on television is sharing how to stage.  I read blogs, articles, and websites all talking about what staging is...and equally important what it isn't.  "Staging is not Decorating" some will exclaim.  Well, first of all, yes the physical staging of a property … (7 comments)

sales: This Is Exactly What We Don't Need - 01/22/08 05:24 AM

According to industry experts, 50% of Realtors WON'T make it through 2008.  
They'll quit... go broke... or both.  
Most Realtors are downright scared about the future of their business... … (8 comments)
