loganhomesandland: Remember - It Is Christmas
- 12/20/08 03:36 PM
No matter what kind of a year you have had, or the state of the economy right now. It doesn't matter if you haven't got all your shopping done yet, and you have a closing, a listing, and relatives next week. The most important part of this time of the year is to give THANKS TO GOD FOR SENDING US HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST. Not only did Christ come to save us, but He came in a miraculous way, so special; immediately wise men came offering gifts to this very special birth. This is what December 25 is all about. No … (3 comments)
*Note I wrote this yesturday, but I wasn't able to post it until today.
This morning my favorite lender gave me a call and told me that 30 year conventional fixed rates just dropped to 4.625 % (rates have bounced up a little, they are 4.75% as I type). I picked up the phone and started calling and texting everyone in my database to let them know this great news. One … (1 comments)
loganhomesandland: Keep The Boat Afloat!
- 12/10/08 02:36 PM
Real Estate is a very funny business. It seems like when times are real good, agents will do what they can to get all the business they can as though it is all owed to them. They will talk bad about other agents, competitive offices, and even fellow agents they work with. Then on the flip side, when times get real tough they want everyone to go out of business so they are the only office or agent in town. This is their plan to become the "go to" guy or gal in the Real Estate world. This self centered attitude … (1 comments)
loganhomesandland: Sub 4 Santa
- 12/06/08 03:47 PM
Now that we are all in the spirit of the holidays, it should snow any moment! Actually snow helps us feel like Santa is on his way, but for many people it is major stress time on how to get Santa to deliver this year. Since it is the season for giving, Cornerstone Real Estate Professionals in Logan Utah has decided to get involved in the Sub 4 Santa program. This is where agents sort of adopt a family in real need, and buy gifts for the children, so they will have a visit from Santa. I have done this in … (2 comments)
loganhomesandland: What Is In A Name?
- 12/05/08 04:56 PM
In today's changing Real Estate Market, it is important to choose your Professional Realtor wisely. Some agents have been riding on a national company name as solid support to their professionalism. Sadly enough the national name brand Brokerages are falling to more solid smaller home town Brokerages. You can see it by the dwindling number of agents affiliating with the national name Brokerages. Professional Realtors are changing course and getting back to the basics, and becoming more proficient in their service to clients. Recently I spent time in a large metropolitan area of Arizona. The market has dropped off significantly, and … (0 comments)
loganhomesandland: First Time Home Buyers
- 12/04/08 10:35 AM
One of the most important parts of buying a home is to get pre-qualified for your loan. This not only helps you to discover how much you can safely spend on your home, it also helps your REALTOR to find homes in your budget. After getting pre-qualified it is important to get pre-approved for your loan. This involves actually applying for a loan and receiving a commitment letter from the lender, stating you are ready for your loan as soon as you find the home of your choice. This will carry a lot of weight when you make an offer on … (1 comments)

- 12/04/08 08:00 AM
A CMA is a "Comparative Market Analysis" prepared by your Professional Licensed REALTOR, which provides data comparing your property to similar homes in your immediate area. A detailed Analysis will include comparing square footage, bedrooms, baths, lot size, size of garage, type of home, roof, etc, all criteria that affects the value of your home. Properly done, a CMA will give you and your agent a fair Market value of your property, and a price acceptable to list it for sale.
A true CMA will only compare your property to others of similar size and style within a one mile … (1 comments)
Many times when people are ready to upgrade on a home they look at the current inventory of homes available, and consider building a new home as well.

Consider homes in your price range and have your REALTOR send you current and new listings that you can view in your e-mail. If there are any that look appealing to you, your REALTOR can make an appointment for you to view the … (1 comments)
