ginger of southport: I remember when.....
- 06/25/09 02:12 PM
As a young person, our family would watch TV on Saturday and Sunday evenings....Mama would pop ..popcorn and we would sit around and watch the Ed Sullivan Show. We would see the new performers enter into the entertainment arena.
I remember seeing Stevie Wonder doing the finger poppin thing and also the Jackson 5.
What talented these folks had.
WE will miss the talent of Michael Jackson.

Sunday is a very special day around here. It is a day that we are able to have our family around us.
First thing I do on Sunday morning is to get up and start preparing our Sunday Dinner. Today was Roast beef, Corn, Butter beans, Stewed Apples, homemade biscuits, and fresh blueberry cobbles (from our blueberries that a grandson, Jonah and I picked yesterday afternoon. The berries were very ripe and about the size of large marbles.
My recipe for Blueberry Cobbler is:
Melt 1 stick of butter in a 8x8 dish
Put 1 cup of berries in the butter

ginger of southport: Pay Day!
- 06/16/09 04:43 AM
Wow..
I had two closings this week. The market is so slow that it is a real joy to have payday.
It still seems like getting our properties to closing seems more difficult than it was in earlier years. Lenders seem to be giving our clients a harder time unless that are squeeky clean. I understand why this is happening. If they had been more diligent earlier, we may not be in this mess.
Just my thoughts...today.

ginger of southport: Do You Want AR Points?
- 06/14/09 12:00 PM
I do. I am trying to do everything that I can and learn as much as I can in order to be a better Realtor and AR member.
I have learned so much from all of you. Wish that we could have some kind of a forum to share ideas with. I know that giving ideas of what works for one Realtor, may just possibly work of another Realtor. We have to take the good with the bad.
So share your ideas with me. I want to in return give you something back.
Best that I have to offer today is … (5 comments)

ginger of southport: Price it right...and it will sell!
- 06/13/09 02:25 AM
One of the biggest things that we are faced with still in our area, is the dreams of what was going on in 2004 and 2005. That day is gone.
What we have to do as a Realtor and as a professional is to educate our buyers as to TODAY'S Market. We all sold properties in 2005 that we are having to sell for half of what they sold during the HayDAys!
When I have a seller to call me and say that they bought in 2005 and HAVE to SELL right a way..I just cringe.
Who knew? This is a nationwide happening, not … (14 comments)

ginger of southport: Buyers are Fickled Beings!
- 06/12/09 01:56 AM
After working on a transaction for over a month, (I represent the seller) the buyers of this property that I have for sale, decided 2 days before closing, to get a mortgage on the property. Have you ever had anything like that to happen to you? It was sold and accepted as a cash transaction. That is the reason that it was accepted by the seller.
It seems like everyone is trying to rewrite the rules of Real Estate. Don't know if you are experiencing it or not....but I sure am..

ginger of southport: Is it harder to get a sale closed?
- 06/10/09 10:39 AM
I am finding myself in uncharted waters when it comes to closing a transaction right now. Banks are giving buyers a harder time it seems. Are you seeing it? Hidden fees that you are not familiar with?
It seems like everyone is having a harder time so therefore trying to make up deficient with additional fees. I have just been wondering if it is the lenders, originators, attorneys, inspectors that I am working with or not.
Share your thought with me please.
Business is picking up right now.

ginger of southport: Rain, Sweet, Sweet Rain..
- 06/09/09 12:24 PM
Living in the Southeastern part of North Carolina, we see a lot of turbulent weather during this time of the year. But what a joy to see the rain come in and water the precious seeds that we plant in our garden.
This year our garden is growing with Butterbeans, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, squash, cantaloupe sunflowers. It is absolutely glorious to see this happening right before our very eyes.
In about a month, we will enjoy the fruits of our labor.
Good Evening to you.

ginger of southport: Lost a deal today...
- 06/09/09 10:01 AM
I am crushed.. I have worked 2 weeks on putting this deal together. All seemed to finally be working out until this morning when my buyer emailed to me tell me that his job was in flux due to the economic situation that we all find our selves in..so This deal went south.
I am OK...I know that they are strong and if they can weather the first cuts..they will be OK.
Nicest folks. I would really like to get them into this area.
Pick your self up, dust yourself off and start all over again.

ginger of southport: Thanks Goodness or another TGIF Day!
- 06/05/09 04:35 AM
Well,
Another week has ended and I am seeing more activty that I have all year.
This week, I have written one contract, had an agent to bring me another contract, and sent closing papers to the attorney and listed 2 houses on Oak Island. That is pretty good for this week. If this could just happen every week, I may be able to live.
Hope that you are experiencing the much needed activity too.
Take care and know I care.

ginger of southport: Answering the phone today...
- 06/03/09 07:26 AM
Wow....On Duty!
I am just not used to this. I usually have too much to do but today...I volunteered.
The first time the phone rang...I just about jumped out of my skin. Then remembered that
I must be the one to answer it and put the call through to the agent.
Guess what....the call was from me.
I love it.
Take care,
Ginger
