real estate: We broke down and are building a pool! - 09/17/07 07:38 AM
After 3 years of saying we're going to build a pool we finally dove in and will begin construction this weekend.
After researching on-line and having several estimates locally we have decided to build the pool ourselves. My husband and I have argued about shape size and color for 2 months.  We decided to combine our wants and we designed a custom pool. It will be the only one of its kind.
It will have a view to die for.
For those looking to build a pool there are ways to save a lot of money and get a very nice pool. We are … (0 comments)

This was in my Community Newsletter- no author given
 
A New Orleans lawyer sought an FHA loan for a client who lost his house in Hurricane Katrina and wanted to rebuild.  He was told the loan would be granted if he could prove satisfactory title to the parcel of property being offered as collateral. The title to the property dated back to 1803, which took the lawyer three months to track down. After sending the information to the FHA, he received the following reply:

The morning started with moaning and complaining about going back to school. What a joy for me. I can finally get some things done without any interuptions during the day.

 Tips for First-Time Homebuyers
  
Be picky, but don't be unrealistic. There is no such thing as a perfect home. Thing is perfect but some may be close enough.
Research before you start looking. Think specifically about what features you want in a home and which ones are most important to you. You may chnage mind after seeing a few homes but that is ok.
Get your finances in order. Review your credit report , and have any discrepancies corrected and be sure you have enough money to cover your downpayment and your closing costs.

real estate: Happy Labor Day - 09/03/07 01:14 AM
The Central Labor Union celebrated the first Labor Day holiday Tuesday, Sept. 5, 1882, in New York City. 1894 Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories.
Although Labor Day is meant as a celebration of the labor movement and all of its achievements, for me it has come to announce the end of summer  :(. It is my favorite time of year and it is the last final horrah and as the last, long summer weekend before Fall.
We will all miss the summer and count down the days until Memorial … (4 comments)

This is my first post-please be kind I am just learning
by Maya Bailey
As a business coach for real estate agents, I often hear my clients say to me, "I just can't pick up the phone and call my sphere of influence." "Why not?" I ask.

"I can't ask my friends or business."
"I have no reason to call."
"I don't want to bug them."
"It's not okay to call them too often."
The 7 Tips:
