adirondack real estate: Getting back to the basics
- 11/05/07 12:46 AM
I am a bit behind on my website submissions. I have a ton of work to do today on my marketing campaign. I have gotten such an influx of business from my current efforts that I have not had enough time to do as much marketing as I'd like. One thing that I did this weekend was pass co-marketing fliers all over town. I pinned them up in every high end apartment complex and convenience store in Plattsburgh, NY. The fliers are designed to promote the property, the Realtor, and myself. I am getting a lot of business from what I … (5 comments)
adirondack real estate: Boycott the Anti-Predatory Lending Act of 2007!!! Read the fine print!!!
- 11/02/07 04:19 PM
I don't think that anyone is in doubt about whether or not this economy is in trouble. The average median income across the country is down, unemployment rates are up compared to not so distant years (the Clinton era for instance), the GDP is down, inflation is at an all time high, the stock market is extremely unstable, and billions of tax payer dollars are unaccounted for as a result of this nations war efforts. The price of crude oil is currently $96.00 per barrel. The cost of food and milk whole sale delivery has increased and the increased cost in production … (2 comments)
adirondack real estate: Stand up for YSP !!!!!!!!!!!!
- 11/02/07 09:12 AM
"Mortgage reform and anti predatory lending act of 2007".I just heard about this today. I don't work for free and no one does. Later in the day I recieved an email from a colleague telling me that there are bills about to go in front of congress to outlaw YSP. The thing is YSP has nothing to do with all of the defaults. I have seen plenty of loans that are in excess of 10% with only a point of yield and plenty more loans in the mid 6%'s with 2 or 3 points of yield. The defaults are more a result … (4 comments)
adirondack real estate: Ride the Wave!!
- 11/01/07 03:24 PM
I had a really great day today. The FED cut was right on time. I locked 2 loans today both at really low rates and both of them are eligible for "go fast" processing style. I also got an issue on a deal that I've been struggling with straightened out. I had two walk in's that resulted in 2 new apps, and I got a lot of marketing done. I love the way the marketing is floating up and down ...Its like riding a wave, its fun like a coaster. Some days are rough and I can't wait till the days … (2 comments)
adirondack real estate: Blogging to Blog.
- 10/30/07 02:16 AM
I am ranked number 35 on AR in NYS. This is cool because I have a goal to set myself up as one of the top bloggers in the state. I love the exposure that I get by being a part of this community. I am also blogging on a few other sites. I used to not be able to find myself anywhere in google.com. Now if I type my name I am all over the first page. In addition to that if I type in simple search terms along with the area many of the listings that pop up are mine. … (14 comments)

adirondack real estate: Does anyone in NYS recomend a solid appraiser?
- 10/30/07 01:56 AM
I need a few good appraisers in NYS to cover basically the entire state. I don't have a cardex of appraisers anymore because my primary lending area has changed. I've got Plattsburgh and surrounding areas covered, but i've got no one passed Glens Falls, NY and further downstate. I do a lot of business in the Sullivan county area and I do not have a single reliable appraiser. If any of you are appraisers and you could use some more business PLEASE send me an email or give me a call ...I could use your services. … (2 comments)

- 10/29/07 05:15 PM
As some of you may have read from my previous blogs or you may have noticed my recent listings on the AR MLS. I have been working on several marketing strategies that I have written about and tested here. Some of the great feedback has and I am sure will continue to help me critique and refine my skill and knowledge as a mortgage professional. Recently I have not had time to blog as much. I have a goal of becoming # 1 AR blogger in NYS, but it is going to be hard at this pace. I know some people are … (3 comments)
adirondack real estate: Appraisal Woes.
- 10/29/07 09:21 AM
I am having trouble with an appraiser. I have sent him a reasonable amount of business recently so I am not sure why I am having so much difficulty in dealing with him. The reason I began using him was because of his "24 hour turn around time". The first appraisal that I sent out to him was back same day. Now he has seen a property for me on Monday last week which makes it a week today. My borrower has been calling me because we were suppose to get this deal done in 1 week. The lender that I am … (2 comments)
adirondack real estate: Are you still Dreaming!!??
- 10/25/07 02:42 PM
Quick Update on my mothers deal. Despite all of the obstacles that the deal underwent because of my relationship to my mother and the UW's responsibility to verify the quality of the loan by submitting the QLP to QC for final review. The final stips were cleared and we closed today, I am very happy about the fact that I was able to fulfill one of my lifelong goals of being able to provide suitable housing for my mother, father, brother, and sister. I did not have a home built for them on their property in Churubusco, NY while they were enjoying a luxury vacation at … (2 comments)
