menifee: REALTORS® say the Darndest Things?
- 06/06/10 05:51 AM
REALTORS® say the Darndest Things? But sometimes it's the things written in the agent remarks section of the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) . Things that every REALTOR® working hard to find a home for their buyer clients first read before laughing at it and tossing it in the shredder. Here are ACTUAL examples of what may be written about your home in the MLS. These comments may discourage other REALTORS® from scheduling an appointment for their buyers. 1. SUBJECT TO INTERIOR INSPECTION; MUST SUBMIT OFFER FIRST; DO NOT GO ON PROPERTY; DRIVE BY ONLY; DO NOT DISTURB OCCUPANTS FOR ANY REASON!!!! DO NOT SOLICIT OWNER OR OCCUPANTS!!!

menifee: What Doesn't Kill You Will Just Make You Stronger?
- 06/01/10 08:13 AM
"What doesn't kill you will just make you Stronger!" That's what my grandfather taught me. He used to heckle anyone, anything, anywhere and anytime.....maybe that is why I am now a heckler. I'll give you a few examples: 1. I'm at the movies, with my wife, during the opening week of one of the Lord of the Rings movies and at the part where the hobbit creature is sitting atop of a tree, as it's racing down to save all the other trees in the forest......the theater is quiet, the music dramatic, and I yell ..."RUN FOREST, RUN!". Imagine hysterical laughter for … (5 comments)

menifee: "Dear Mr & Mrs Homeowner, How's Your Loan Modification Going?"
- 05/26/10 06:20 AM
Dear Mr & Mrs Homeowner, How's Your Loan Modification Going? I keep hearing more and more that those that have been working with lenders seem to share the same stories. Here are a few: 1. "The bank has been reviewing my file for 6 months (or longer), but they say as long as I stay current on my mortgage payments they are willing to work with me." - It seems that as long as your current on your loan, why would they feel there was any need to work with you? I am not advocating that a borrower intentionally stop making their payments … (3 comments)
menifee: TEN Reasons NOT Paying Your Mortgage Is O.K.?? Or Is It??
- 05/22/10 06:52 AM
TEN Reasons NOT Paying Your Mortgage Is O.K.?? Or is it?? With so many options out there and many more home owners losing their homes to foreclosure, I find some of the reasons I get from home owners who find themselves behind on mortgage payments and on the verge of foreclosure...well...somewhat disturbing. Here are 10 things I hear over and over. "If the bank does foreclose, my parents will buy me another one." "I don't care if what I'm doing is illegal, everyone else is doing it. My friend (neighbor, relative, friend of a friend) did it this way, so why … (7 comments)

menifee: The Year There Was No Mother's Day!
- 05/08/10 07:12 AM
This is about the year there was no Mother's Day, a story of a mother who went on strike! My wife raised 5 kids "Brady Bunch style" for 18+ years, while I was deployed 6 - 10 months at a time every 2 - 3 years over a 20 year Naval career. Before e-mail I would get letters that were 2 - 3 weeks old telling me about the trials and tribulations of being a "Navy Wife" having to raise so many on her own. One Mother's Day, when the kids were older, I was overseas, a dozen roses I ordered for … (13 comments)
menifee: Another Day - Another Scam. Jury Duty Scam Sweeps Nation.
- 05/07/10 09:37 AM
I just wanted to help get the word out regarding the latest Fraud affecting our area. Jury duty can be painful enough, but this little ploy could make it even more painful if you're not careful. Big thanks to Gene Wunderlich for forwarding this information on.
Our Riverside County Joint Fraud Task Force has adopted a new motto - 'Changing Times - Changing Frauds'. When we started five years ago we were primarily focused on mortgage fraud as that was the predominant scam at the time. However, with the changing market the opportunity for that type of mortgage fraud has dwindle … (0 comments)

menifee: "Where are all the Home Buyers?" wondered all the home sellers.
- 01/04/10 07:48 AM
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Home Seller, Have you ever wondered..."hmmmm....Why hasn't anyone looked at my home for sale?" Of course you do, and maybe your agent IS right and you have it priced high? Maybe you should make it less tattered looking from the street? OR maybe the agent (at your request) added a comment in the Agent Remarks section that drives other agents and their buyers away like the plague. Here are a few ACTUAL examples that I found, as I was looking through the Muliple Listing Service (MLS), of some 2009 homes that didn't sell. These comments may have kept me, other agents and buyers from looking at your home. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.

menifee: 3 TIPS FOR A BETTER HOLIDAY SHOPPING EXPERIENCE...
- 12/16/09 06:39 AM
1. TAKE AN 'OFFENSIVE DRIVING' COURSE - a couple reasons; Designed to teach the fine art of changing lanes (up to four at a time) on a busy freeway, squeezing between two cars on an exit ramp while stopping in time NOT to crash into the vehicle in front of you or from behind. Learn the fine art of aggressively speeding through store parking lots as you search for that elusive parking spot closer to the entry AND to speed into a spot of a recently vacated vehicle before the one that's been patiently waiting for 5 minutes (with blinker on) can take it. I find both of these techniques … (2 comments)
