sellers: Selling an Inland Empire Home? Hire an Internet Savvy Realtor - 10/19/15 08:30 AM
According to the National Association of Realtors, between 90% and 95% of today’s home buyers now use the internet to search for homes. With the incredible popularity of smartphones and tablets, the trend toward a digital real estate marketplace shows no signs of slowing down.
 
If you’ re planning to put your house on the market, it’s important to verify that your Listing Agent is Internet savvy.

The Window of Opportunity is Closing
 
The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act, which was passed in 2007 to help millions of financially distressed homeowners is set to expire Dec. 31, 2012.  
The act has helped many distressed homeowners find solutions to avoid foreclosure and opened up options to them that were previously unavailable.
The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act was only intended to be a temporary solution, but expiration of that act would have negative consequences on distressed homeowners. There is a bill in Congress that would extend The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act, but as of yet it’s unclear if it will pass.

sellers: We’ve Got Lemons, Let’s Make Lemonade - 12/07/08 04:38 PM
Just read a blog post What drew you to become a Realtor?  As I began to comment on her post, my comment was evolving into a post.  So rather than monopolize her page, here's my 2 cents.
I stepped out of Real Estate sales about a year ago to take a growth opportunity to become the Southern California Sales Specialist for HomeSteps a unit of Freddie Mac. (a position parallel to an Asset Manager position).  It was a localized pilot program that was recently eliminated and relocated to Dallas.  
You would have thought that I'd jumped at the relocation opportunity for such a prestigious, well … (3 comments)
