helpusell: In Georgia, Some Free Gifts = Mortgage Fraud
- 11/15/06 03:52 AM
I'm licensed in one of the top states in the US where mortgage fraud runs rampant... So, because my broker comes from a lending background and because does everything by the book (thank God for me), not a week goes by where we are not talking about what "is" and "isn't" mortgage fraud. From what I understand and please correct me if I am wrong, we (GA) have a limit on "gifts" or "incentives" not stated on HUD of $50.00. If you wanted to treat your buyer client to a nice dinner in appreciation of the business...it's ok...as long as your gift does not exceed $50.00 … (5 comments)

helpusell: Do you take your ActiveRain Posts with or without pics?
- 10/26/06 07:20 AM
Seems to be a pretty good blend of posts with and without pictures added to them. I'm a non picture blog reader personally, I think pics are good for advertising listings. Is the ability to upload any picture from your hardrive what makes ActiveRain so much better than other RE Blogging communities I've seen out there? I really wonder though, if it helps us or hurts us? At what point are Matt and Caleb gonna say..."ok, that's way to much extra storage space on the servers we needed in October for all those silly Halloween pictures, we're gonna have to cut back on the amount of pics … (2 comments)

helpusell: Let's not mistake "Fee For Service" for "Discount Broker"
- 10/23/06 07:48 AM
Greetings AR Bloggers! ...And a happy Monday to ya'll... Allow me, if I may, to make a very important distinction between the (2) primary types of alternative real estate companies in today's business environment. -Discount brokers charge up-front, for thier "a-la-carte" type services -Fee For Service Brokers such as Help-U-Sell North Metro, sell homes for a low set fee payable only if the property closes. No charges are ever asked for up-front. -James … (1 comments)
