foreclosure: The Walk-through... - 12/07/09 02:01 PM
The walk-through went beautifully.  The ex-owner had everything in tip top shape:  the hardwood floors were glowing, the pool was sparkling, the garage was immaculate, all the fixtures and windows were spotless and there was not a spec of dust in the place.   She even had small containers of paint diligently labeled: “Kitchen, living room, sewing room”…  
She was meticulous about every single detail.  She showed me where everything was and how everything worked, ensuring that the home she had built and loved for over two decades will be properly tended to by the new owners.   She raised her children … (29 comments)

foreclosure: Most Days I Feel More Like a Social Worker Than a Realtor… - 09/11/09 05:04 PM

 
 
With the dramatic shift in our Market over the past few years, Realtors who have survived the arid business landscape, have adapted by increasingly morphing their job descriptions in ways never before anticipated.   Most of us didn’t know what a short sale was only a few years ago.  A foreclosure was one of those terrible things that happened to other people when they made bad decisions.  A transaction could be put together in a matter of two to four weeks.  As a Realtor, you had only two parties you were dealing with: The Buyer and The Seller. … (19 comments)

foreclosure: The Life Energy of Money - 07/16/09 05:17 AM
 
  There is a universal law of money.  People who hold on to money too tightly suffocate the energy of money; thus by trying too hard to keep the money, they are actually stifling the flow of money coming towards them.    Working this arduous short-sale/foreclosure market has certainly cemented this belief.  It is very obvious that ‘Penny Pinching’ people who try to take advantage of others have a higher incidence of loss.  Being involved in property management has been eye opening for me.  The owners who don’t care about anyone else but themselves have a much higher incidence of … (9 comments)

foreclosure: Myrtle Beach Real Estate Clearance Sale: The Horry Co. Foreclosure Sale - 10/07/08 12:17 PM
The Monthly Foreclosure Sale occurred at the Horry County Courthouse yesterday.   When it was all over, the Master-in-Equity jokingly asked: "Are there any more properties left in Horry County?"   The comment elicited a light applause from the audience and it was well warranted:  this was the largest sale ever.   Two hundred and thirty five properties were on the list and the auction took several hours to unfold.   The Banks ended up with the preponderance of properties: 138 properties, representing 58.72% of the inventory.   60 properties were pulled from the sale "as per attorney", or to be sold at next … (8 comments)
