cedar city utah real estate: Some information about Some of the Scams to Avoid
- 09/06/11 07:02 AM
This is another post in the series of posts that I have been writing to put out information for distressed homeowners. I wish that our society didn't have people of this ilk that look to take advantage of people in desperate situations. Here in Cedar City I would recommend that you should contact the Cedar City Housing Authority and talk to them about anyone that contacts you with an offer to help. They are aware of many of the scams that people are running. Here is their phone number: (435) 586-8462. Here is the link to the post:

- 09/04/11 11:29 AM
This has turned into a fun series for me to write. A while back I found one of Louis L’Amour’s books of short stories at Walmart in the $1.99 book bin. I bought and put it on the shelf, wanting to read several other books that I have before I got into this book The book is entitled “Big Medicine”.
The other night I picked it up and started reading it mainly because I couldn’t sleep, it didn’t help me sleep, I found that was that it was very difficult to put it down. The lesson that I … (4 comments)

cedar city utah real estate: More Life and Business Lessons I learned from Reading Louis L’Amour…Living by Your Word
- 08/29/11 08:57 AM
This life lesson I probably should have made the first of the lessons that I learned by reading Louis L’Amour, it is the lesson of honesty, well, it could also be defined as integrity. Like many of the lessons that are underlying in Louis L’Amour’s books, this is a timeless message. It isn’t just the Cowboy Code, but is found in the basis of all major religions.

cedar city utah real estate: Please Help Me I'm Falling......
- 08/29/11 06:33 AM
I know that is the title to a classic Country Song from the early days of Country Music. Darcy and I were in Parowan this morning doing a walk through on the rental property that she manages there and we saw what was once a great old pole barn. Having past it's prime a couple of decades ago, neglect finally is catching up to the old structure. The words to that song jumped into my head as we drove past it, so I thought that I should get a photo of what is left of it, before it is just a … (10 comments)

cedar city utah real estate: Life and Business Lessons that I Learned by Reading Louis L'Amour
- 08/28/11 04:49 PM
I love reading anything by Louis L’Amour, he is of course a Western Novelist, possibly the most successful Western Novelist of all time. One of the great things about Louis L’Amour, is his novels had a set of values to them. All of his stories were the classic good versus evil, but there were many other lessons included.
Some of these values have been called a “Cowboy Code”, but they’re not exclusive to Cowboys or the American West. The first value that I wanted to write about is found throughout his books.
That is the value of … (7 comments)

cedar city utah real estate: Some Questions that We're Still Often Hearing about HUD Homes...............
- 08/26/11 05:07 AM
Darcy and I are often surprised when a client asks us questions about what we thought was general knowledge. We are guilty as are many agents who fail to realize that this isn't really something that interests many people unless they are looking to buy HUD homes. This is something that I am trying to no longer take for granted that everyone knows what I know about real estate.
I do know that there are some incredibly savvy buyers out there who don't think about real estate until they go to make a purchase, then they do a lot of research … (8 comments)

cedar city utah real estate: Southern Utah History...Elza Lay and the Cattlemen....
- 08/24/11 05:51 AM
Elza Lay was another member of Butch Cassidy’s outlaw gang. One of the major aspects of the Outlaw Gang’s activities involved rustling livestock and moving them down the Outlaw Trail. The Outlaw Trail ran roughly from Montana past the Hole in the Wall in Wyoming, through Eastern Utah and into Eastern Arizona. Livestock that was rustled at one end of the Outlaw trail would be driven for sale at the other end or at some point in the middle of the trail.

cedar city utah real estate: Is a Short Sale ALWAYS a Good Idea??
- 08/22/11 05:49 AM
As a Realtor, I would probably answer yes to that question. As someone who deeply cares about my clients and their well being, my answer would be that it depends. We know what foreclosures do to people's credit and the market in general, but what is the difference between a foreclosure and a short sale on someone's credit? They both make it so that people will have to wait to get into a position to qualify for another mortgage to buy a house, they both hammer your FICO score.
