wylie texas: Does the Seller PROFIT on Termination Option Money?? - 02/02/10 01:54 AM
I am the listing agent on two short sale properties and this question has come up on both properties when I received offers.  Does the seller profit concerning the termination option period?  This is the option that gives the buyer the unrestricted right to terminate the contract for any reason within an agreed amount of days. The buyer gives a check for an agreed upon amount.
One of the buyers agent has told me they did not know who to make the check out to for the termination option period. I said the seller of course! She said "The sellers are not supposed to profit … (2 comments)

wylie texas: Can I answer questions from a seller that has their house listed with another agent? - 02/01/10 10:41 AM
I have an acquaintance of mine that has her home listed with another agent in an exclusive agreement.  She told me she is considering changing brokers. She asked me to come view her home & tell her what the comparable homes are listing for. 
 Can I answer these questions for her, much less go to her home while she has it listed with another agent?
 What if the other agent sees my car there? Do I need to get permission from the other broker?

This poses a good ethical question. I'm sure this has happened to many agents and most probably … (2 comments)

wylie texas: Short Sale in Wylie, TX 75098 Gone! - 01/26/10 10:38 AM
Another Short Sale is gone!
I closed on this short sale today. After many months of waiting for the right buyer, the lender to accept the offer and an appriaisal ,this one is SOLD!
The seller does not have to worry about a foreclosure being on her record and her credit score dropping by 200 points. She will have this statement,  "agreed settlement short of full payment" , which is better than a foreclosure and 7 years on her credit report.
Sellers,  if you are in a distress situation please call me. I am a certified SFR-Short Sale Forclosure Resource specialist. I … (4 comments)

wylie texas: Just do it! - 01/18/10 10:25 AM
 I went to Donna Harris class in February 2009 on how to have more Internet presence. It was a great class she explained this "active rain" thing and other great ways to network online. She explained that agents always asked her how she had so much business, so she would tell them about active rain. She said you would be surprised how they found reasons not to get started on active rain.....well,  I was one of those people too!  I put the folder away after I found out it was $29 a month. I have to many expenses already! 
It wasn't until August 2009 , … (11 comments)

wylie texas: Top Ten Reasons to Move in 2010 to Wylie, Texas 75098 - 01/11/10 02:04 AM
Top Ten Reasons to Move in 2010 to Wylie, Texas 75098

1.  Free Money-$8000 for new buyers and $6500 for move up buyers! This is free money from the federal government you don't have to pay back!
2.  Tax Breaks- The IRS allows you to deduct the interest you pay on your mortgage, your property taxes and in many cases for those who qualify, some of the costs to buy your home and mortgage insurance. Owning a home is a great way to lower your tax bill.
3.  Build Wealth- Unlike paying rent, with each mortgage payment you make, you … (2 comments)

wylie texas: You May Qualify for a Free Energy Audit - 01/08/10 08:04 AM
You May Qualify for a Free Energy Audit
Do you have rooms in your home that are always hotter or colder than the rest of the home? Are there drafty areas that are always uncomfortable? With cold winter temperatures in the air, a few simple steps can keep your home cozy and warm this winter.
Heating and Air-Conditioning Systems
In Texas, up to 70 percent of your electricity bill can be from heating and cooling your home. HVAC systems lose efficiency over time. A 10 year old furnace may cost twice as much to run as a newer high-efficiency model.

wylie texas: Tenants using holidays & other reasons as excuse for late rent! - 01/07/10 04:40 AM
The best excuse for late rent this month was this message:
I can't pay rent because I hurt my back and have not worked all month. I put it on FACEBOOK, didn't you see it?
WHAT? I am supposed to check FACEBOOK for tenant comments or excuses for nonpayment of rent?
 Most of the lateness though is from our tenants saying they will be late on their rent because of the holidays.  I am so sorry folks, but you knew your rent was due when you went shopping and bought little Johnny those toys or purchased too many gifts for your … (7 comments)

wylie texas: Help! The rental I am living in foreclosed! - 01/06/10 04:44 AM
You come home to find out the home you have been renting FORECLOSED! What do you do??  Your first line of defense would be to contact your attorney, but you may just be wasting your time because the owner probably doesn't have a whole lot of money if he is not paying the mortgage.  This is a scary and frustrating situation to be in!!

Before that day your landlord likely still owned it. You probably would not be due any funds back other than your security deposit. Hopefully, the property was managed by a good Property Management company who held your security deposit in an escrow account. They should … (4 comments)

wylie texas: My top 10 goals for 2010 on AR - 01/01/10 05:18 AM
I activated my real estate profile on 08/03/2009. I have accumulated 30,805 points since then. Is that good? Am I on target for a 100,000 year?
When I first started I didn't think I could find "anything" to blog about. Now "everything" is a possible post.  I find myself looking around my community more and taking interest in community events.
I have so many things to learn on AR and really hope a AR training comes to Dallas area soon ( HINT HINT!) Hopefully these top 10 goals will help.

This is the slogan for Penn Street Bakery, World Famous Cakes & Gifts.  I started giving these cakes for closing gifts a few years ago.

You can order a delicious cake in a "Thank You" tin or you can order a tin with your company logo.  I usually order the chocolate cake or lava cakes, who doesn't like chocolate?
The best thing is the price, approximately $24.95 plus shipping for one cake!
