To rent or to buy seems to be the question in today's market.  "Line your investment portfolio with rental properties in a college town," was something  I read in a magazine many years ago.  My thought was, "I live in a college town, and I am a REALTOR. I must get busy and buy!"   I am so glad I did because my wonderful tenants have paid off the mortgages on my properties for me! It was nice of them, but I believe that the best plan is to buy properties for … (0 comments)

homes for sale: Thanksgiving Should Last A Lifetime If We Want Happiness as Real Estate Agents! - 11/29/13 06:36 AM
It doesn't matter what we do in life, we are happier if our cup is half full rather than half empty. It is the same situation, but the outcome is either to feel great when we are looking at the half full or bright side or to feel down and depressed When we only look at the negative side. 
Recently, I saw a cartoon with two fish swimming in a bowl that was only half full Of water. One fish said to the other, "I like to think of my bowl as half full rather than half empty."  I love it! … (1 comments)

homes for sale: How Can Your Buyer Find Your Home And Buy It If It Isn't Listed? - 07/16/13 01:57 PM
Where did all the houses go?  Sellers thinking they can sell their home later for more money later may be surprised.  As interest rates rise, prices may just turn around and go the other way. No one knows for sure which way prices or rates will go.  I believe sellers should sell when they want to sell.  I have been a REALTOR for nearly 30 years, and now seems like a good time to sell to me while buyers want to buy!  
The inventory is indeed low for homes under $150,000 in the Cedar City, UT, area. We are seeing … (3 comments)
