gainesville va homes for sale: A Quotation Seriously Worth Thinking About - 08/31/13 04:11 AM
I used this Quotation a few years back and thought it worth noting again with some updating and changes in reference to my thoughts. Hopefully it will challenge all of us in reference to how we live, lead and work. It simply reads:
"Your reputation and integrity are everything. Follow through on what you say you're going to do. Your credibility can only be built over time, and it is built from the history of your words and actions."- Maria Razumich-Zec
My Thoughts: It doesn't matter whether you or I are a Doctor, Minister, Lawyer, Mechanic, School Teacher, Store Clerk, Sales Clerk, Farmer, … (3 comments)

gainesville va homes for sale: How To Have A Positive Real Estate Closing - 08/19/13 08:26 AM
Experience has taught me that Real Estate Closings will run one of two ways. Most often they run smoothly. In other words, we get to the closing table, in about an hour everything is completed and the keys are in the hands of the buyer and everyone goes home happy! On the other hand, there have been moments when delays occur and this can happen for a variety of reasons. Sometimes paperwork hasn't come through, funding has been delayed, there is a financial glitch, typos and even other possible reasons.
I was reading the MSN Real Estate section the other day … (2 comments)

gainesville va homes for sale: Guidance For Getting To The Closing Table - 08/11/13 06:56 AM
It is Sunday Afternoon and it’s hard to believe but I actually have a bit of a slowdown today.  As a result, I thought I would write something that would be helpful to all present and future buyers of Real Estate.
I am reminded of when three or four buyers (over the past few years) made a serious error in judgement while in a Contract to purchase a house. Because of the error, they sabotaged their Real Estate deal that was nearing completion. You read the previous sentence just right, but let me be even clearer: They lost the house they were … (74 comments)
