realtors: NEED A LITTLE MOTIVATION???
- 10/14/08 06:01 AM
During a weekly sales meeting this morning we watched a motivational movie and took a little time to pause and reflect on the current market. After leaving the sales meeting I was still a little hungry for more motivation. I found this saying posted on the web that to me is too cute and perfect not to share. This was posted by someone named Devon Schad from Colorado and it says: " It is not time to put the car in NEUTRAL and save on gas. Floor it and see how far you can take it." Is that not perfect. Hopefully … (1 comments)
realtors: We've got to be careful!
- 10/05/08 02:39 AM
Safety has always been something that should be first on everyone's mind and I know we are in a totally different time right now. We have issues that we are facing that are totally new even to the most seasoned Realtors and I know it's been said over and over again. I know it harder and harder to get customers and keep customers but, please- please lets be careful out there! Last week a Realtor from Columbus, Georgia was found strangled to death by a tenant she was going to serve eviction papers on. We are truly living in desperate times. … (0 comments)
realtors: Twilight Zone

Not to discuss politics here but I just pulled the following statement from President Bush's 2007 State of the Union Address and I am comparing this statement to where we are now and the 15 minute speech President Bush made last night on how dire or economic situation was and how important the support of congress was to swiftly pass this bailout and one must ask themselves several questions- This speech was done in 2007 and we are in 2008, which is only a year! This mess we are dealing with didn't just happen did it? Where has Mr. Bush been during this … (0 comments)
realtors: Is It A Full Moon or Just Mass Panic!

First and foremost to my fellow Realtors in Texas and your family's I want to say that my thoughts and prayers are with each of you effected by the Hurricane. I am a Realtor in Georgia and yesterday I went into a convenience store and heard this woman stating that this was the 3rd. vehicle she had brought from home to fill up with gas. I thought to myself maybe I need to turn on the radio and see if maybe I had missed something. After listing to a local reporter on the radio he explained that the rumor mill was … (2 comments)
realtors: Today's Market
- 07/25/08 11:07 AM
This is one I have to share! I have a house listed- New Construction- Beautiful Plantation Style home. Priced at $269,900.00. Got a call this morning from the seller. He took buyer to the house and showed them the house. Also, told them his bottom dollar. Then called me and wanted me to call the buyer because the buyer wanted me to reduce my commission. This buyer told me I wasn't deserving of the set commission. She stated that since 2 Realtors weren't involved she felt I should reduce to reflect one real tor instead of 2. I explained to this … (0 comments)
realtors: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
- 07/16/08 02:42 PM
I need your input. I got a call today from a Lender I use on a regular basis. He said he wanted to give me the heads up on one of the new Fannie Mae - Freddie Mac guidelines for first time home buyers. He told me that effective in the near future new home buyers wanting to finance FHA will be required to go through a First Time Home Buyers class and will receive a certificate of completion. He said they will not be able to go into a binding agreement unless this class has been completed. He is suppost … (4 comments)
realtors: There's No Place Like Home!
- 07/04/08 12:01 AM
Have you noticed how much the market is changing? I have found a new name for the infamous underwriter. You know the one who decides if you make it to the closing table or not. The one who ultimately says yes you close or no you don't. His or her name should be The Wizard of Oz! They like the wizard hide behind this curtain. You never see them, You never get to talk to them, You just know they exist. You start off on your journey to oz the moment your customer finds a home. You travel through Poppy Fields, … (3 comments)
