real estate in tyler texas: Are we doing enough for our community? - 08/23/13 04:03 AM
Are we doing enough for our community? At Miller Homes Group in Tyler Texas we ask this everyday. Simply put, we want to do as much as possible and do it from the heart. For almost 2 years, Homes for Heroes was available and no one in our market touched it. The greed took over and no agent or company wanted to pay a referral. When Miller Homes Group opened we acquired the territories within hours. You see, we viewed it as a win-win and knew it was good for all involved. I would give a share of my commission to … (4 comments)

real estate in tyler texas: Is customer service missing in your business? - 09/26/11 10:11 AM
Is customer service missing in your business? I had a great visit with a seller today in Tyler, Texas about his total dislike of real estate agents and after much discussion finally traced it to the fact that he had received terrible service from at least 2 other agents who had had his house listed. Amazingly enough, he had come by to say he had gotten great service from an agent in our office. It is amazing that in a day where good customers are increasingly hard to come by, some agents still believe that a sign in the yard and … (3 comments)

real estate in tyler texas: "Everybody is entitled to their opinion, no mater how wrong it may be!" - 05/11/10 03:30 AM
"Everybody is entitled to their opinion, no mater how wrong it may be!"
I have been watching for sometime now what has been going on in this great country of ours and I am appalled to say the least.
If your Christian, white, have money, believe in self reliance, love your countries flag, or generally believe in the things this great country was founded on, you are labeled a trouble maker. What? Yes a trouble maker!
You now have more rights in our society if you believe in a religion that would kill you for disagreeing with it. Laws concerning our … (11 comments)

real estate in tyler texas: "It's not rocket science!" - 04/05/10 09:49 AM
My version of "It's not rocket science!"
* Homeowners tax credit- Every year when a borrower receives their mortgage statement from your mortgage company for tax purposes there would be a box that was checked Yes or No. If no mortgage payments were made late(30 days) that year, the borrower would receive a tax credit of up to $5000. Up to, because if you only paid in $3000 that is the max you could claim. No refund on taxes you did not pay.
This credit would continue for 5 years, making it $25,000 if you paid your mortgage on time.

real estate in tyler texas: Local lending is coming back strong. - 03/12/10 07:16 AM
Today's world of real estate is to say the least, interesting. Sellers have to compete with short sales, foreclosures and a host of other problems plaguing the market. Is there hope? Yes, of course, but first we must realize that as real estate professionals, we need to be extremely knowledgeable and patient.
No longer is it good enough to just show homes and write a contract and go to a closing. We must be the calming voice of reason in a storm of ever changing rules and regulations. More and more, the real estate agent is the one that holds the … (5 comments)

real estate in tyler texas: If this was Bush... Oh my God! - 01/06/10 11:22 PM
"The website, recovery.gov, reported $26.5 million going to 10 New Mexico congressional districts that do not exist," the group reports. "Those millions were credited with creating 61.5 jobs."
Additionally, $131,139 in funds reported for New Mexico were designated zip codes matching DuPont, Wash.; Richland, Wash.; and Gales Creek, Ore.
While the recovery website shows $373,874 was spent in zip code 97052, the group found that zero jobs were created. Likewise, $100,000 to zip code 86705 resulted in no additional jobs, and $36,218 to zip code 87258 purportedly created five jobs.
"None of these zip codes exist in New Mexico, or anywhere … (19 comments)

real estate in tyler texas: SO! - 01/06/10 09:25 AM
The Obama administration's decision to crank up airport security for passengers traveling to the U.S. from 14 nations has triggered a backlash of complaints from Muslim and privacy groups who say President Obama's response to terror threats amounts to little more than racial profiling. 
But defenders of the policy say it's a carefully targeted way of zeroing in on those travelers most likely to pose a threat, and that hurt feelings shouldn't really matter after the United States narrowly averted, by sheer luck, a deadly midair bombing on an airliner heading to Detroit on Christmas Day.

real estate in tyler texas: I wonder how much my vote would sell for????? - 12/21/09 03:06 AM
-- Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., won between $100 million and $300 million in additional federal aid for her state's Medicaid population. The deal, secured before she cast her critical vote in favor of bringing the health bill to the floor, was immediately dubbed the "Louisiana Purchase,"  though the actual Louisiana Purchase was considerably cheaper. 
-- Vermont and Massachusetts got $1.2 billion in Medicaid money -- a change that was described as a correction to the current system which exempts those two states because they have robust health care systems. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders also boasted Saturday that he requested and won … (16 comments)

real estate in tyler texas: They constantly miss the mark. - 10/24/09 11:39 AM
President Barack Obama declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency.
The declaration, signed Friday night and announced Saturday, comes with the disease more prevalent than ever in the country and production delays undercutting the government's initial, optimistic estimates that as many as 120 million doses of the vaccine could be available by mid-October.
Health authorities say more than 1,000 people in the United States, including almost 100 children, have died from the strain of flu known as H1N1, and 46 states have widespread flu activity. So far only 11 million doses have gone out to health departments, doctor's offices and … (3 comments)

real estate in tyler texas: Some fun from a good friend... - 10/04/09 08:50 AM
WHY WOMEN SHOULDN'T TAKE MEN SHOPPING
After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target.  Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out.  Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse.  Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Target.
Dear Mrs. Samuel,
Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store.  We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store.  Our complaints against your … (13 comments)

real estate in tyler texas: Does anyone understand what "Foriegn Policy" is!!!! - 09/06/09 03:27 AM
WASHINGTON - The European Union is strongly criticizing a congressional proposal to charge a $10 fee to some visitors to the United States and suggesting it may carry a price for U.S. travelers.
If it passes, the EU says, some U.S. travelers to Europe could face retaliation.
The fee now under consideration in Congress would finance a new U.S. program to promote travel, a burden that the EU believes Americans should bear.
"Only in `Alice in Wonderland' could a penalty be seen as promoting the activity on which it is imposed," the European Commission's Ambassador to Washington, John Bruton, said in … (7 comments)

real estate in tyler texas: Well, It had to happen, Right? - 09/06/09 03:15 AM
White House green jobs adviser Van Jones resigned in the middle of the Labor Day weekend following persistent controversy over his past remarks and associations. 
He issued back-to-back apologies -- first, for calling Republicans "assholes" during a videotaped address earlier in the year, and second for signing a petition in 2004 supporting the "9/11 truther" movement, which believes the Bush administration may have been involved in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. 
 
If either bush had appointed anyone as contraversial as this guy as a dog catcher, there would have been calls of racisum, hate mongering and so much more.

He went to the Airport and they ask him if anyone he DID NOT know had put anything in his bag? He wondered what? As he witnessed them, searching an 85 year old grandmother like she was a criminal.
