Marion Ar is a good choice for relocation again
December is definitely not slow for me this year.  I am currently working with 3 clients who are relocating to Marion, Ar. from different areas.  They like the feel of a suburb, quiet, a wide selection of housings, school district, the convenience so close to Memphis, Tn. for city life, shopping and dining.  Marion is a residential town, population just slightly over 10,000.  A friendly small town where there is only one main business/restaurant area along the Intersection of I-55 to and from St. Louis, MO, Osceola, and Blytheville, Ar.  Also I-40 to and from … (14 comments)

ar: Howcome I can't borrow the price range I want to buy and my credit score is good? - 12/21/10 10:24 AM
I was asked by a couple of buyers recently that they don't understand why can't they borrow the amount of the house they want to buy and their credit score is good.

Lender is not just looking at your credit score.  Good credit score is only good enough to let … (10 comments)

Owning a house may not be the right thing to do..............
My job as a real estate agent is to help my clients to find a right house for them to call it home, or help them to sell their house so they can move on to their next page in life.

Vision can turn to reality if you can answer these simple questions:
Have you been always paying your rent on time?  That's an indication of how responsible you are in paying your bills.  You don't pay your mortgage, you will lose the home; and it will ruin your … (7 comments)
