tips: Nehemiah, AmeriDream, Genesis, etc. - FHA Grant Programs, Still Around...
- 03/16/08 04:18 PM
The big news last week is that the judge ruled in favor of allowing the FHA gift program to continue which allows the seller to pay the required 3% buyer down payment. Why is this such good news? Because with the tightening of the credit industry, it is getting harder and harder to approve buyers with any blimishes on their credit unless they are putting down a lot of money. And, unfortunately, most buyers in are market are not in that category. FHA is the way to go for most buyers right now and we know how to close FHA loans! … (1 comments)
tips: Southeastern Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SiMT) - Florence, SC - WOW!
- 02/19/08 10:39 PM
The Greater Pee Dee Board of Realtors got a tour of the new Southeastern Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SiMT) yesterday and boy was I impressed. After spending over 20 years in manufacturing, many with Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies, I walked away wowed by what they are creating with their world-class, futuristic facility for economic development activities. From the moment you drive up to the main facility and see the impressive fountains and visual displays, you feel like you are at Epcot at Disney. And once inside, this feeling really hits you with the 3-D animation technology and 3-D modeling that they … (0 comments)

- 02/18/08 03:39 AM
Happy President's Day! In case you need a great mortgage and your bank is closed, call me! We're open to serve you. :)I noticed in The Charlotte Observer on Saturday that Charlotte's average home price for 2007 was a bit higher than it was in 2006, but did that make the headline? You guessed it. The headline was "National slump hit home in 2007". The headline and beginning of the article talked about Charlotte's home sales dropping 11% from 2006 which is better than the national average of a 13% drop in sales. Also mentioned was that the national median … (0 comments)

tips: Curb Appeal - Great way to get in to see a FSBO!
- 12/03/07 10:33 AM
Can you think of some ideas for these folks when they are ready to sell? Most homes won't need this much help but for the ones that just need a little help, call on FSBOs to give them some free advice. Then, once you establish rapport, ask if you can give them some pointers for the inside that might help them too... Eventually, you are going to win them over with your expertise, professionalism and personality and then you will get their listing too.

tips: Be like Pedro and Lighten Up!
- 03/28/07 03:27 AM
I spend a lot of time traveling on I95 thought I would just share a thought with you. Why not lighten up a little in your promotions like Pedro which helped build a very successful business in Dillon, SC called South of the Border? Show your personality a little and let people know that you are a "fun" realtor in some of your print ads and mailings and see what happens. Since potential buyers and sellers are going to have to spend a lot of time with a realtor, they might as well work with someone that they are going to enjoy … (0 comments)
tips: Good Up-front questions for your borrowers before you start browsing the MLS!
- 03/28/07 03:00 AM
The next time you meet with a prospect either in person or on the phone, try to learn more about what their main issues are so you can quickly start looking at the best properties for them. You can do this by asking your clients to brainstorm with you to determine their wish list of what they want in their next house AND the things that they absolutely cannot live with or could live without. By getting these things out in the open, in addition to their price range, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. you are going to save valuable time … (0 comments)
