We were laughing about the hot air balloon invasion the evening before and we both commented on how nice a place Fenton is to live and raise a family. I mentioned my blog to her and said I thought about writing an article about Fenton. Well, she volunteered, I accepted and here are her thoughts on Fenton. I thought she was very creative and it occured to me that some of you might like to post an article about your … (0 comments)

st louis real estate: St. Louis Real Estate - Dark Side (cont)
- 07/19/07 01:24 PM
So how do you avoid the "Dark Side?"by Chris Scheer, First Integrity Mortgage Let me first say that I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to make money. The Mortgage Industry is a great place to earn a living, provide for your family and help people make dreams come true. However, with every industry there are always people who are in it only for themselves. These people prey on others who are less educated, less intelligent and sometimes less qualified. When they do, they usually abuse the system, creating large incomes for themselves while staining the reputation of their entire industry. … (0 comments)

st louis real estate: I want to sell my home! What's it worth?
- 05/21/07 02:46 PM
Determining the value of St. Louis Real Estate isn't rocket science! Unless of course you take the simplistic method and place your faith in a "web site mash up" that tries to do it from outer space! In which case, you'll probably wind up in the "expired listing" column, unhappy with your outcome, unable to move forward, and peaved at everyone but yourself.

Find an appraiser that does appraisals for "mortgage lenders". Why, because mortgage lenders won't … (0 comments)
