realtor: Near the Year To Be, A Reflection On the Year That Was - 12/03/09 02:22 PM
An amazing blog from Paul Slaybaugh, Scottsdale AZ Real Estate (Realty Executives):

By any measure, 2009 has been an ogre.  A lineal Shrek, if you will.  We probably all would have given it a miss had we heeded the decree of the Chinese calendar that it was to be the Year of the Killer Tomato.  Given the chance to hit reset on the impending culmination of 365 vexing days, however, I would not take it.  There are strengthening vitamins and minerals to be had in the juices of the very tomatoes at my feet that have pelted my face and … (0 comments)

Great reblog from Ki Gray - Austin Real Estate:

Are you preparing to buy a home for the first time? Or have you closed on a number of homes in the past and are preparing to buy your next home? Regardless, you'll want to keep in mind the steps necessary to successfully navigate the preparations for buying that next home.

Initially, you'll want to determine your income, debts and savings and decide what you can afford. Instead of doing all the calculations and attempting to make the determinations yourself, you may want to decide on a reputable lender and … (2 comments)

realtor: The Administration's Foreclosure Program - In Need of Major Changes - 11/30/09 05:01 PM
 

With foreclosures still occurring in record numbers, the administration has announced that it will be making some changes to its "Home Affordable Modification Program." 
The original $75 billion Treasury program was put into effect to help potential foreclosure victims by enticing the banks to create loan modification programs for those who needed them.  Under the plan, lenders who agreed to lower payments for troubled borrowers were to be paid $1,000 initially for each loan.  That was to be followed by $1,000 annually for up to three years. 
It was all part of the government's $700 billion financial bailout  aimed at providing … (2 comments)

realtor: Control Home Building Costs - Here Are Some Tips & Tricks - 11/24/09 04:06 PM
Great reblog, enjoy:

Home building costs can often be a challenge to control when you've got so many variables in the building or remodeling project. You can avoid overages or, at least, keep them at a minimum if you are armed with some valuable advice.

When planning your build, pad your budget with a 15 percent Contingency Fund. This fund will enable you to pay for overages you have no control over, like unknowns behind walls and ceilings and problems found once excavation commences.

You may not be able to avoid all of them, but you can … (3 comments)

realtor: Why Should I Use A Realtor®? - 11/24/09 09:47 AM
Reblog from THE HOUSING GURU:

Many of those considering buying a home struggle with the question: Why should I use a Realtor®? While some assume they can save thousands by eliminating an agent's commission, others feel that the services of a real estate professional are no longer relevant in today’s tech savvy society. I strongly disagree.

I’m not an agent, have never held a real estate license, and have no vested interest in promoting the real estate profession. What I do is offer the advice of four decades of experience in real estate transactions. During my career I have … (0 comments)

realtor: Are You Thinking About Selling Your Property As a Short Sale? - 11/23/09 01:07 PM
Short Sale info:

Although the terms "short pay" or "short sale" are heard frequently, some people are still asking what they mean: It means the property owner owes more on his/her property than it can be sold for, or sold for after paying all the standard closing costs. In other words, the seller is "under water". Briefly, the mortgage holder(s)--there may be more than one loan on the property--must agree to accept the lower payoff amount, which means the bank is losing money on the seller's outstanding loan amount. The owner must "apply" for that approval by submitting financial information … (1 comments)

Great tips for sellers:

Picture an occupied home -- comfortably furnished, nicely decorated. How would having it staged help it sell? Is it worth the expense? Here are five reasons for sellers of occupied homes to consider a professional home staging consultation:
#1 –Getting a home ready to sell can be overwhelming to sellers, and they may not know how to begin or what to do. Home stagers can tell sellers where to start, and then guide them through the process, from paint color selection to furniture placement.
#2 – Occupied homes are lived in. The sellers have gotten comfortable … (3 comments)

realtor: "I'm Your Friend, So I'll be Honest with you...!" - 11/23/09 12:33 PM
Blogged by Jennifer Allan:

Couldn't sleep last night. Got up, turned on the TV, flipped thru channels until I landed on HGTV. When I can't sleep, HGTV tends to be my go-to channel since they usually have SOMETHING on besides "paid programming."
Anyway, I got my first taste of The Property Shop with real estate goddess Tatiana. I'd heard that she wasn't exactly the warmest, fuzziest real estate broker on the planet... and, indeed, I doubt she's often accused of being a little ray of sunshine.
This particular show's overall theme was the difficulty of working with friends and family. … (2 comments)
