sw missouri: It is just a place to chase the old lady around in!
- 07/14/10 05:53 AM

I think that one of the things that went horribly wrong a while back (hard to pinpoint an exact starting point) was when people started thinking of their houses as “investments.” Now I am no economic genius----they are all in the other Washington----and I certainly am no expert in … (5 comments)
sw missouri: Thinking about Buying a Foreclosed Home- in SW Missouri?
- 05/12/10 02:53 AM
Note to my reader's the foreclosures are coming. As a buyer are you prepared to consider this new inventory that is about to hit the market? This is a pretty basic list of things to take into consideration when looking a property that has been vacant for awhile. Generally any home that has not had utilities on or people in and out checking on it will have issues that need to be inspected and possibly remedied. Clint has put together a good starter list of common things to be on the lookout for. You can compare available properties in MO from … (0 comments)
sw missouri: Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Springfield, MO- Donate it!
- 12/01/09 07:54 AM
As a listing agent I often get to give my 2-cents opinion on what to 'DO' with the over flow from cleaning a property to sell or from a re-model project. I have a great place to share with my customers/clients. The Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Springfield, MO, accepts donations of new and used home improvement supplies, furniture and appliances. Great thing is that your donations are TAX DEDUCTIBLE! and.... Proceeds from the ReStore help build Habitat for Humanity homes locally. I don't want to sound like an add but when you find a group that is doing so much … (6 comments)

www.cheryl-willis.com is my newest domain to link to my website. I am still in the process of deciding HOW I plan to use the new domains.

sw missouri: Can you get me a form to fill out my own contract, I am buying a FSBO...
- 06/09/09 07:39 AM
Oh wait, it gets better....... I am pre-approved and my lender said to just bring in a contract and we can close in two weeks. Are you rolling on the floor yet?

I am always looking to show off the writings of my peers on this blog. KEVIN has such a wonderful way of bringing common sense to Home Ownership. I love his post on Maintenance/Repairs. Print this and stick it on your refrid. be good cw
Many homeowners fail to realize the VALUE of a good Home Maintenance Schedule, and the long term benefits that almost always save money and aggravation.

Quick story: Daughter ran her phone to the phone store b/c it wasn't keeping a charge. Nice guy at the store 'gave' her a new battery and said, this should do it" Daughter was thrilled b/c the phone is not under warranty and she assumed she was 'out of luck'- Happy Day, Happy Daughter! Next day, same daughter, same phone, new battery doesn't keep a charge either. Daughter returns to the phone store. Different attendant takes the phone apart, replies you are not under warranty, it will be 200 dollars for a new phone. Un-happy Day, Un-happy Daughter. That evening, daughter … (8 comments)
