lisa udy: Let me help you sell your home in Cache Valley, Utah - 07/22/09 10:21 AM
Selling A Cache Valley Utah Home - I just recieved a phone call from a previous client. They asked me what it would take to sell their home here in Cache Valley. I told them all I had to do was put my sign in their yard! They laughed, and I giggled, but in all seriousness, what does it really take to sell a home today? 
There are many factors in selling a home, some simple, others a science, but I can guarantee you it's more then just putting a sign in the yard. You can ask anyone who has tried … (3 comments)

lisa udy: Buying Bank Owned Properties: Not All It's Cracked Up To Be... - 06/10/09 06:29 AM
There are many myths to buying bank owned homes aka REO(Real Estate Owned) properties. I'm hoping to iron out some of those myths to give you a better understanding of the process of buying a banked owned home. Buying a bank owned home just may not be as easy as you think it is. 

 
Mythbusting The REO Buying Process
 
Myth: You will always get a great deal buying an REO!
Truth is, just because a home is banked owned, doesn't necessarily mean it's a great deal. Especially if it appears to be a great deal. What I mean … (8 comments)

lisa udy: Did You Miss The Boat? Or Are You Waiting For It To Come Back? - 06/09/09 05:11 AM

Did you miss the Boat? Waiting for it to come back? Well, sorry to say, but if you're waiting for the interest rate boat to come back, I hope you packed a big lunch, because it's not coming back anytime soon.

If you were the one who was waiting for interest rates to … (7 comments)

lisa udy: Do You Judge A Book By It's Cover? Buyers Do - 06/02/09 04:20 AM
When preparing to sell your Logan, UT home, you need to put as much effort into making the outside look just as nice as the inside. Curb appeal is critical in selling a home. When a potential buyer wants to view your home, the first thing they see is the outside.

lisa udy: It's Only A Buyers Market If You Buy - 06/01/09 07:06 AM
Extra, Extra, read all about it, IT'S A BUYERS MARKET!! The headlines are there, they state it's a buyers market. They state that right now is the best time to buy, and there are great deals to be had.
So what? Sorry to say, but if you don't actually buy, you're not in any market. To be in the buyer's market, is to BUY, not to fence sit, wait, loiter, delay, postpone, hesitate, waver, falter, pause, and on and on.
The Myth Of The Buyer's Market
You've heard it a thousand times, it's the buyers market, and it's a great time … (5 comments)
