arabi la homes for sale: Open House
- 11/30/07 01:52 PM
I will be hosting an open house at 2300 Mehle in Arabi Louisiana, St. Bernard Parish. This home has been totally redone. Really nice colors and light fixtures along with great owner financing options. If you miss the parish and long to return don't miss this opportunity. Even if you have spotty credit there are some options available. Don't tell yourself no until you give it a try. … (1 comments)

arabi la homes for sale: Another one for My Book
- 11/29/07 07:40 AM
I have said before I get all the nuts. Well I have another one for you. There is a home in Mandeville LA,that a client of mine is interested in seeing for herself. I called the listing agent for an appointment and she said it might be an issue. I asked her why, she never gave me an answer. Seems this same house is also showing up on FSBO list. So my-client called and the owners sister answered the phone. Told her she wasn't helping her sell the house any more but here is her address. My client checks the address … (3 comments)

arabi la homes for sale: Sellers Cocessions
- 11/28/07 10:14 AM
I find working with buyers easier than sellers. What are your thoughts on this? For example, my client submitted an offer for full asking price and the seller actually rejected the offer. Well actually he will accept it if he can remain in the house until February. The listing agent didn't say anything about this on the MLS etc. How come she didn't reveal this since she knew it? My client and I decided to keep looking at other homes, keeping this one in the back of our heads. Suggestion, when you list a house please write down all the details. … (16 comments)

- 11/27/07 12:54 PM
I have been on hold while typing this blog for about 35 minutes now. I forgot to mention when you call the troubleshooting line you get one of those computer answering machines. It asks you about twenty questions before you get to an actual live individual. So be it this live individual is in India or somewhere close of course with an American name. You can just imagine the conversation. I just hopes he gets it fixed vebore my wife divorces me. … (1 comments)

arabi la homes for sale: wireless internet
- 11/27/07 12:46 PM
Not a happy night in the hacienda. My Bellsouth Internet connection is out and the Cingular wireless is about as fast as a glacier. I didn't realize how much of our life this connection is. My daughter has a research paper for school and my wife can't surf the net. Boy are they grumpy. Just curious which wireless provider some of you may use and how do you like it. Funny thing is this same connection in Las Vegas was extremely quick. I wonder why? … (3 comments)

arabi la homes for sale: Credit Crunch II
- 11/26/07 10:07 AM
Not only are most Americans home owners they also own stocks. Most of them own them thru 401k's or mutual funds that they bought themselves. I know these investors have noticed the sharp decline the last couple of months. The credit crunch is what is being blamed for this decline. This credit crunch in my opinion is because they loaned money to people using unique vehicles to qualify these people. This excess housing that was built is now on the market for sale and some are in foreclosure. This glut of housing has affected homes prices nationwide. If we are in … (1 comments)

arabi la homes for sale: Back To Work
- 11/25/07 11:49 AM
I placed a call today around noon to a listing agent. I was attempting to get some paperwork that wasn't on the MLS. I am pretty sure I woke him up, even though he denied it. He said he was in Maryland. That is when I decided to shut it down for the rest of the day and watch the Saints game, which they won. Oh well I will be back and at em tomorrow. I still wonder if any one else was working this weekend.

arabi la homes for sale: Who needs an office
- 11/24/07 11:39 AM
I had an agent from one of the big national brokers asking about my company. I told her the fees and our commission which are quite generous and naturally she was interested. She asked about an office on our side of the lake. I told her we didn't have one at this time but that it was in the future. She seemed discouraged then. I told her I use my kitchen table as my office. I know this may not tbe the best place, but office space costs money. If you want more commission you have to give up some things. … (15 comments)

arabi la homes for sale: Sellers vs Buyers
- 11/24/07 11:32 AM
Whats a buyer to do? They say it's a buyers market and the sellers still have a lot of attitude. Make a full price offer and the seller says thanks but I ain't moving until February. Oh yea I don't want to pay rent either for two months. I just wish the agent had put this in the MLS, I had no idea. The agent hasn't even asked for her commission which she could demand. I think she just doesn't want to upset her client. I guess business isn't that bad after-all. As for me and my client, we will have … (3 comments)

arabi la homes for sale: I get all the nut jobs.
- 11/21/07 12:33 PM
My buyer made an offer on a property Monday and the seller rejected the offer wanting full price. Full price these days? My buyer really liked the house so she made a full price offer and hr rejected it again. WHAT are you on drugs????? I needed a drink. Let me think this over. Seems the seller needs a place to store his equipment. He was building a new place but it wasn't going tp be ready for two months. Why did you list your place so early then? Well the media keeps saying it's a slow market. Well not for … (2 comments)

Best Buy 5:00 A.M.
Sears 5:00P.M.

arabi la homes for sale: The Mortgage Mess
- 11/19/07 10:38 AM
A couple of weeks back I wrote that Alan Greenspan in my opinion was responsible for thisd mess. Just today CNBC published an article online that supports what I have been stating. Please see link http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/CompanyFocus/WhosToBlameForTheMortgageMess.aspx This article also lambastes Countrywide and Merril Lynch CEO's. I believe we have a long ways to go before this works it's way out of the economy. I think any one who is selling better give some good value if they want to sell. … (2 comments)

I am jealous over some of the posts with pictures. I have tried to put them into my blogs but my placement is horrible, so I delete them.

Boy I have had a lot of fun and met a lot of people. However as they say, there's no place like home. I need to get home before I go broke. I am not talking about gambling, I am talking about food etc. Anything on the strip is about triple what i pay back home, OUCH. It really has been fun but it's time to get back to work. … (3 comments)

Another good day at the convention. Saw a lot interesting people, some with good products. I found a lot of vendors with their product so specialized I really had a hard time figuring out what I could use it for. Well I will rent a car and skip tomorrow and take a tour of Red Rock canyon and Hoover dam. I think it will be neat. We don't have anything like that in Southeast Louisiana. I will try to post them when I get back. … (2 comments)

arabi la homes for sale: Know It Alls
- 11/14/07 12:06 PM
I listed a house in my area about three months ago. Today I had an agent , who I really think should retire and leave me alone, tell me the house was priced to low. REALLY, well why don't you buy it then. She of course said no. I have had plenty of people view this house and I have called every agent who has shown the house. I have their comments written down and have informed the seller every-time. The other agent has never been in the house or in the backyard to see why it's priced where it is. … (11 comments)
