real estate: Your Credit Profile----CHECK IT!! - 12/22/09 04:10 AM
You Can—And Should—Check Your Credit Profile For Free December 22, 2009 By Sandra Block Savvy consumers view offers for “free” products with the same skepticism reserved for weight-loss pills, work-at-home opportunities and spray-on hair.

Some companies use the offer of a “free” credit report or score to sell expensive credit-monitoring or other subscription services. The best-known example: FreeCreditReport.com, the subject of entertaining commercials featuring scruffy losers with bad credit. Since 2005, Experian, which owns FreeCreditReport.com, has paid the Federal Trade Commission $1.25 million to settle charges that its ads … (2 comments)

Housing: Undervalued and Stuck There
December 22, 2009
Wells Fargo & Co. economists wrote in a note to clients last week, "The calculus of homebuying and finance has changed," summing up succinctly something that's troubling housing experts all over the country.
Housing researcher Global Insight recently released a study of U.S. housing prices that points to the magnitude of the collapse of values. 

Nationwide, Global found housing values were about 10% undervalued, based on a model that examines interest rates, household incomes, population, and historical price patterns.
That's a modest number compared with metro areas hardest hit by the housing … (3 comments)

Market is slow, yes.  But that does not mean agents should be slow.  Now more than ever we need to work harder and more effeciently.  The client is number one!  We have had a nice run as realtors, but now the real work begins.  I predict that those real estate professionals left standing at the end of 2009 are going to be the ones that suit up and show up.  No more waiting for the call.  Sales is a contact sport.  That is why our clients and network are called CONTACTS! We need to reach out and contact, bring them … (4 comments)
