palm coast: Custom Twitter Background
- 05/14/09 11:28 AM
I am newer to Twitter I will admit. Just playing around with it and found that I really don't like the background options, and I really didn't like the online background creators either. Since the background is simply an image, I realized you can simply use Photoshop to create my own custom background. Here's how:
Set an image size of 1200x768 pixels. This can be a picture or colored background. On the left hand side put your branding and keep it within 70 pixels from the left. Save it as a JPG file under 800kb and upload to your twitter … (3 comments)

palm coast: Traditional Buying or Auction Buying?
- 04/19/09 07:38 AM
Real Estate auctions have gotten increased exposure, and buyers often ask me if this is the best way to get a great deal on a property. The answer to that really depends on the individual buyer. There are some things to keep in mind regarding auctions:
Selection is limited - Properties available for sale through auctions are normally distressed sales and a much smaller selection compared to listings on an MLS. Condition - These types of properties usually require maintenance and the potential buyer should always insure they visit the property prior to the auction with a knowlegable expert to identify … (0 comments)

palm coast: Does 'Lis Pendens' Mean Foreclosure?
- 03/04/09 01:24 AM
The legal term 'Lis Pendens' is latin of "a suit pending" (click here to see the legal definition). In terms of Real Estate, when there is a legal action being taken against a property a notice is filed with the county clerk called a "lis pendens". Is this strictly for foreclosure or unpaid mortgages? The answer is no. This can also result in terms of hiring a contractor and not paying them. In those cases the contractor can file a "lis pendens" with the county clerk for the amount of what is owed them.
So why do I bring this up? Some foreclosure classifieds websites have … (0 comments)

palm coast: Florida Housing Market Trend & Prices Going Forward
- 02/19/09 09:46 AM
One of the biggest concerns on past and present buyers minds in Florida (as well as other parts of the country) is prices. Where are they headed? Should I wait? Should I buy now? Will they shoot back up again? So forth and so on. First of all, "timing" a Real Estate market is NOT possible. If you wait for the "bottom" or "top", you'll miss it every time. One reason is that "bottoms" and "tops" of markets can never be realized until a consistent trun has happened for a period of time. In addition, there are many many various factors … (1 comments)

palm coast: What Is An 'Approved' Short Sale?
- 02/16/09 02:07 AM
You can't do a home search without coming across what is designated as a "short sale". Many buyers are often not sure what this means. Simply put, a "short sale" is a pre-foreclosure situation and is a sales transaction in which the seller's lender agrees to accept a payoff of less than the balance due on the loan. These are situations where a seller owes more than the property sells for. Unlike normal listing situations, the lender is provided a Comparable Analysis, but does not approve an accepted price until an offer is made. Therefore, setting listing price has obvious challenges. These are transactions which (in most … (0 comments)

So what have we learned over the last few years in terms of advertising properties for sale? Well, we know that we must advertise on the Internet. We even know what websites to be on.
