My husband and I were out running errands in Rocky Mount, Virginia and I needed to stop at this restaurant to pick up something.   We decided to take a break from our tasks for a minute and decided to sit and have a soda or water.   Oh my gosh, now I can't get my husband to stop talking about it !I am getting some materials together from local businesses for an upcoming event at the bank and The Bootlegger's Cafe was one of those places.   When we stopped in, owner Bryan Hochstein was busy, so we were seated and immediately waited on.   We had something to drink as we waited.The waitress was on her game and seeing we were not looking for a meal, suggested we try their dessert menu.   I've had a sore throat and she said "the Peach Cobbler would feel sooooooo  good on your throat".   OK, ...

Here is a brief history of the Short Sale Success that I have had since July/2006. I have found Short Sales to be very rewarding in alot of different areas not only on the income side. I have helped many sellers to sell their home and save it from going to foreclosure over the years....the smile on their face makes it worth the hard work on a daily basis! I have outlined my history below and would hope that it would help other agents to consider doing short sales. I have trained over 200 agents in my area and they are doing well with Short Sales! I have found that I enjoy helping the other agents and that gives me a feeling of TEAM work...WHICH I LOVE!                                               CATINA'S SUCCESSFUL HISTORY!!! -My first short sale was July/2006 (Bank didn't call it a S...

Short Sales, our team has a tremendous knowledge of short sales.  We help families that are in financial trouble and need to sell thier home before foreclosure takes place.  Most families wait to late to qualify for short sale.  A short sale is selling your home for less than the mortgage owed on the property.  If you or your family need to see if you qualify to avoid having a foreclosure, don't hesitate and call us for a free anaylsis.  Selling one of your most valuable assets is a big decision and one that calls for the assistance of a professional.  I know that each one of my clients has high expectations for a successful marketing strategy that will lead to the sale of their property. As a realtor, I invest much of my time seeking ways to add value to the sale of your home.  Marketi...

Well lets just say I have had many funny stories in my real estate career...BUT this one takes the cake!! I've decided to blog about this tonight because I laughed the entire 20 minute ride home tonight after my client called to tell me that he just was asked to be this man's BEST MAN in his upcoming wedding! It all started like this: A few months ago I had a contract on a home I had listed and there were very small survey issues to the tune of $250.00. The other agent and myself agreed we would split the cost and everybody would be happy.....or so we thought!! Both the seller and purchaser had NO CLUE of letting us do that instead they wanted to argue back and forth. Long story short...........The lawyer doing the settlement thought it was a GREAT idea to get all parties involved at th...
