home buyers: Taxes increased in Maryland on the short sale home buyer! - 01/15/10 11:03 PM
Just thought I would pass the below information along. It was emailed to me by my attorney concerning transfer tax and recordation on short sales in Maryland.  
Its a quick read but just goes to show that the "Powers that be" are always looking for a way to squeeze another dollar out of the taxpayer. I would expect other States to follow the example set by Maryland.
"As if life were not difficult enough when you are asked to handle a short sale, there is a hot new issue that will make some people scream.  Our local governments have decided to collect … (4 comments)

home buyers: "Oh, Chicken Poop", I say - 04/16/08 01:01 AM
Well it is that time of year again when thoughts of Spring turn to working in the garden and on the lawn. I thought everyone might be interested in seeing some great pics of Spring in Bloom in Dundalk Maryland.
OK, some of the pictures are from last year as well with the flowers in full bloom.
We had many problems trying to get pretty much anything to grow in the soil when we bought this house. Around here the soil is mostly clay with a high acid content, not very conducive to sustaining floral life.
My wife, being the green thumb, believes … (0 comments)

home buyers: Dundalk, Baltimore County 21222-May 2007 Real Estate Market Report - 06/04/07 08:06 AM
Well it has been another month and for me it has been the busiest month of the year. Lots of new homebuyers-especially first time homebuyers!
Since Dundalk is still one of the most affordable communities in Baltimore County and with interest rates inching up very slightly-finding a new home or that first home is a task of choice for many!
May started off with a bang and just kept going! For the 31 day period there were 67 homes sold or put under contract----this is up 34% over Aprils 50 sales!
With 186 active listings as of June 4-there is only about 2.78 … (2 comments)

home buyers: First Time Home Buyer-it CAN happen! - 05/20/07 02:20 AM
First Time Home buyers-Think you can't afford a home of your own? Do you think your credit is too bad to qualify for a home? Think you can't buy a home because you have no money in the bank for a down payment?
Let me tell you a short story about one of my clients.
My clients are a couple in their mid thirties with 3 children-the oldest being 7. They both work hard every day but struggle from paycheck to paycheck like most of middle class America. They have not been able to put any money away for a home so they have … (1 comments)

If you are or thinking about becoming a real estate investor-you need to look at the opportunities in Cumberland Maryland 21502.

home buyers: Baltimore County Real Estate-Is it really that bad? - 04/28/07 12:52 AM
It has been a couple of weeks since I have posted anything of significance-but today I had a few moments and thought I would just sit down to write about the market around Baltimore County.
Everyone has been talking about how "bad" the market is-but from the little bit of research I did and the amount of business that is happening-I would really have to disagree-at least from the buyer's side of things.
In Baltimore County (Including Baltimore City) as of today there are 8,877 active listings. These listings range in price from $5000 (rehab shell city) to $7.2M (Penthouse Condo on the Harbor). … (2 comments)

home buyers: Can you Foresee the future for your client? - 03/25/07 05:14 AM


When I first looked at this from my email this morning-I was really impressed! I guess that shows my gullibility! Then I looked a little closer and easily figured out the trick that was played on my mind! Did you?!
Once figured out-I thought this truly relates to our Real Estate Business......How you say?
When I first looked at this trick, I was looking as a potential buyer or seller, or maybe a FSBO  of a home-oh this is simple, no problem, I can breeze through this and be truly impressed when I am done! Good job!
BUT as a Realtor, looking out for … (3 comments)

home buyers: FSBO in Baltimore County Maryland-IS IT FOR YOU? - 03/20/07 05:49 AM
If you ask anyone who has ever tried to sell their home themselves they'll tell you that from the moment the "For Sale by Owner" sign goes up, the phone begins to ring. Unfortunately, many of those calls will not be from prospective buyers, but rather from real estate agents looking to obtain your listing. Obviously the idea of not having to pay a commission to a real estate agent is attractive to any home seller. But because of all the issues involved in the process, selling a home on one's own can be challenging as many home sellers will attest … (1 comments)
