real estate: Balance is the key to life in this industry
- 02/21/10 04:06 PM
This weekend, I dragged myself out of bed to finalize my morning appointments, confirm the morning plan with my clients and then drive to Queens to return a key I had borrowed the night before to the listing office. I immediately hustled back to Long Island to meet up with my clients with all of two minutes to spare. Yes! Enough time to grab a cup of coffee before meeting them at the first property we were scheduled to see. So I grab my coffee, say hi and commence to catching up with a friendly neighbor I hadn't seen since the summer, while asking my friend that I … (6 comments)
real estate: Always a Skeptic? This one finally saw the light.
- 08/21/09 02:02 AM
I have this one client who is very loyal, but an incredible skeptic. I have been telling him for at least two years about a product I offer called the Money Merge account that would enable him to pay off his mortgages in a fraction of the normal time. My client is extremely smart, very financially savvy and was convinced that this wasn't possible. He eventually consented to a presentation, after which he admitted that he could see the benefit of the service, and how it could save him much more money than traditional bi-weekly payment programs, debt rolldown programs, and the … (1 comments)
real estate: 8000 Reasons for Buyers to Get Off the Fence!
- 06/07/09 10:50 AM
Recently the goverment produced a plan that would allow buyers who purchase a home in 2009 to take a deduction of up to $8,000 off of their taxes. Many buyers inquired about the plan, but some were disappointed to find out that it wouldn't help them with actually buying the home. Well, things have changed, and it seems the government has decided to allow people to use their credit towards their closing costs, which, of course, is HUGE! If you're a first time homebuyer, I can't think of any better time that there might have been to buy a home. Inventory … (0 comments)
real estate: Why Now Is The Time To Act
- 12/17/08 04:42 PM
While the mortgage market continues to generate a lot of chatter in both the media and in Washington, interest rates are currently near or at all-time lows. If you or anyone you know are looking to take advantage of these low rates, let me explain why now is the time to act. Lately there has been talk about the 4.5% 30-year fixed rate mortgage. Will it become a reality though? Right now, no one really knows. Homeowners who could benefit from a lower interest rate need to know that even if 4.5% becomes a reality from Washington's actions, rates that low … (0 comments)
real estate: Interest Rate Alert
- 12/15/08 09:14 PM
If you've been following interest rates recently, you may have seen that they are looking GREAT right about now. And, while I can't quote an exact interest rate for someone without seeing an individual's full financial picture (credit, income, assets) by means of an application, we have actually recently been able to quote rates of around 5% for well-qualified applicants looking to purchase or refinance a single-family home, and we see the potential for those rates to possibly dip further. That said, now is an excellent time for many individuals to purchase or refinance -- allowing them to possibly get more home for … (1 comments)
