enoch: The Election Is Decided. Let's Now Band Together As Americans!
- 11/07/12 12:38 AM
I have heard already this morning from people excited about the election results and from people who are sad. I find myself going back in time many years to grade school when one of my teachers said that the important thing is for Americans to band together and support each other and America after an election. I believe this is good advice for all of us every day.
Whatever our stand before the election, now is the time to be good Americans working for the best good of all America.
My mother used to say, "A man convinced against his will … (1 comments)

enoch: If You Are Eligible to do a Short Sale on Your Home, Then What? True or False!
- 06/06/12 09:01 AM
Do you have a financial hardship? Are you under water which means you owe more than your house will sell for? If so, you may be eligible to do a short sale!
Some think foreclosure is inevitable when they can't make their house payment. The truth is that you don't have to sit back and accept a foreclosure! Check with your lender and find out all your options! Do you want to keep your home? Ask about a loan modification, refinance, etc. Do you need to move? Ask about a short sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure, etc.
Some people think foreclosure is … (1 comments)

enoch: Become Your Client's Trusted Real Estate Advisor!
- 05/22/12 03:36 PM
Today was busy but fun and rewarding as are many days in the world of real estate. One of my past clients came in to list the home that I had sold him and his wife many years ago. Unfortunately, his home is on the default list, which is the sad story of quite a few homeowners today. He said he had heard from several real estate agents that called when they saw his home loan was in default. One of them was a bit pushy in trying to list his home.
Thankfully, my client and his wife would work with … (0 comments)

enoch: Steve Florio of ERA Mortgage Reports Improvements in Real Estate Market!
- 05/03/12 11:21 AM
Steve reports in his email of today, "Pending home sales are at their highest level since April 2010, according to the National Assn. of Realtors. Lawrence Yun, the group's chief economist, said the market 'has clearly turned the corner.'" This is good news for our economy as well as the real estate market.
Steve goes on to say, "Price declines are easing. Housing data provider Zillow said last week that home values are bottoming in most major markets and are set to begin rising in metropolital areas such as Los Angeles." According to UAR statistics as of February YTD, the median price … (0 comments)

enoch: Cedar City, UT, Area Experiences Investor and Homeowner Home Shopping!
- 03/26/12 10:17 AM
We all agree that we are still in a buyer's market. However, the homes for sale in the lower price ranges are attracting multiple offers, and I believe this is a steady market that will soon experience rising prices. Do you agree? Investors and homeowners seem to be fighting over the available homes less than $100,000 and even as high as $200,000. Often there's a rush to get the offer in immediately.
Today I had a buyer call me to put an offer in on a home. When I called the listing agent, I was told that 2 offers had come … (0 comments)

enoch: Would You Agree That Selling Real Estate Is Lots of fun?
- 03/05/12 07:12 AM
When I was a little girl, I would send out flyers, lick stamps. lick envelopes and stand on a chair by the road holding a sign--all to help my Real Estate Broker Dad sell homes. I also remember helping to clean his new construction homes and put little curves to show where the door swings and an X where the light goes on his plans.
As a child, I found it fun to play at being a real estate agent. Now that I'm a real live REALTOR and have been for 28 years, it is still fun. I mean it.
Recently, we closed a sale … (2 comments)

enoch: Happy Columbus Day To You!
- 10/10/11 01:18 PM
I've been having a fun day walking down memory lane. I'm back in my 4th grade school room at Stoker Elementary. Mrs. Davis is saying, "Columbus sailed the ocean blue in fourteen hundred and ninety-two!" That was certainly a long time ago.
We all can't help but remember that phrase, and what a beautiful sailing so long ago! Look at the awesome outcome." I'm sure Columbus would be both shocked and pleased with the results! Enjoy your memories, and have a Happy Columbus Day!

This morning I woke up early. My husband was sleeping soundly, and I didn't want to wake him up. I started thinking about all of the things for which I am grateful including life itself! After thinking of hundreds of things to be thankful for, I started my day with a beautiful warm and satisfying sense of well-being. All is right in my world today in spite of the problems around me.
It doesn't matter what our field of business is, a positive and thankful attitude can bring us success. The universe will work in our favor if we want it to! … (2 comments)

enoch: 6 Easy Steps To Make Home Staging Reasonable To Sell Your Home At Top $!
- 05/17/11 09:08 AM
1. As you walk into each room, think of light and space. Picture in your head what doesn't feel good and realize it's got to go. Picture the room clutter free and beautiful. If you are feeling closed in, there is probably too much in the room. Even if it's nice stuff, it could detract. Remember that the home-staging expert, Barb Schwarz, says that the way you live in a home and the way you sell a home are not the same thing. You want to showcase each room to look picture-perfect and ready for pictures for a home magazine. That's what you're actually doing! … (1 comments)

enoch: Cedar City, Utah, Real Estate Is On The Move With Buyers Buying Homes!
- 06/18/09 02:10 PM
I spoke to a local appraiser today and shared my thoughts regarding Cedar City Real Estate Sales. He agrees with me that we may be seeing the bottom of the market. Of course, no one knows that for sure. We are seeing more offers and more sales in progress in my office. We are also seeing multiple offers on the bargain-priced houses for sale including foreclosures, short sales, and other bargains. We'll watch carefully to see if the upturn is just another spurt, or if it really is a trend. Only the market will tell!

enoch: What Happens If Interest Rates Go Up? Buy Now While Rates Are Low!
- 06/13/09 09:23 AM
When I started selling real estate nearly 26 years ago (WOW! That's a long time!), rates were approximately 18%! When rates are that high, you can't afford very much home! We had a celebration when they dropped to 13% and shouted for joy when they plummeted to 11%. It is possible with inflation that rates will rise again. They have already risen a bit. I recommend buying now while interest rates and prices are both low at the same time and before the large inventory of attractive homes dwindles.
Even if rates go up to 9%, they're still great. We've been spoiled … (0 comments)

- 06/12/09 10:22 AM
The market seems to have picked up! We're hoping it's a trend! We are busy negotiating contracts and making sales! There is still increased buyer activity in the Cedar City, Utah, Real Estate Market.
We are seeing more buyers looking at homes and making offers. We are seeing an increase in sales. I believe that is due to great no and low downpayment loan programs, as well as buyers are loving the huge inventory of homes from which to choose and the low prices. We are seeing multiple offers on some of the bargain priced homes.

enoch: Cedar City, UT, Homes For Sale Are Turning Into Homes Sold!
- 06/08/09 04:00 PM
We're seeing a good kind of busy in the Cedar City, Utah, Real Estate market. I love it when we are busy presenting offers, negotiating contracts, going to closings, faxing contracts, faxing instructions to title company, setting up sales in progress and so on.
Of course, we love to list properties, and we love to show properties. There's no way to succeed without buyers and sellers, and we always do our best to give them top service. However, the most exciting part of real estate sales is seeing people happy in their new homes or seeing them make money on their real … (0 comments)

I am looking forward to a peaceful and serene Sunday with time to meditate, pray, enjoy Church and study the scriptures! I'm looking forward to reflecting on the many joys in life and counting my blessings. We have so much more than most even in an economy like this! Wouldn't you agree?
It's wonderful to be commanded to rest one day out of seven. That must be the easiest commandment to keep! What can be so difficult about not having to work while appreciate all God has given us?
I hope you've had a great week, and that you'll have a wonderful Sunday!

- 05/28/09 06:44 PM
I am "burning the midnight oil" as my mom used to say. Another of her favorite sayings is, "You're burning the candle at both ends." I guess working late hours must come naturally in my family! It's important to realize, however, that I wouldn't be working these late hours if there wasn't a lot of real estate work to do this late! It's most exciting to see the real estate market buzzing with buyers, offers and even multiple offers on the bargain-priced & foreclosure properties! What a busy day!
Why am I still here? After a very busy day, I got an offer on one … (0 comments)

- 05/22/09 10:08 AM
I hear there is a legislative session being called to evaluate a new Utah grant for new construction real estate that may apply to homes not completed yet! Since the current grant money is more than half gone, that would be incredibly good news! Don't you agree? What have you heard?

I'm new to the blogging world! My goal with writing my blogs is to be either informative or helpful. How do I know if I'm succeeding? I'd like to get more comments, so I'd know if anyone is reading the blog. How do I do that?
Since I spend lots of time on each blog, it would be really nice to know if people read it even though they don't comment. Please let meknow if you have any idea whether blogging gets out there or if it just sits on Active Rain.
