roanoke: Pre-Qual Does Not Equal Pre-Approved
- 07/29/11 02:10 PM
Hello again AR nation. Just another week, and another learning experience. I'm currently working with a client to get them into their new home. I love the whole experience of doing this. However, it seems every home I sell brings a new set of hurdles to overcome. A little back story...We signed the contract on a home about 4 weeks ago. As is standard practice with most all agents now, I included a pre-qual letter with the offer. After a little back and forth, we agree on the final price, and begin the loan process. I'm sure we are all well aware … (5 comments)
roanoke: Just Not Sure...
- 07/20/11 01:14 PM
I've struggled for quite a while before writing this blog. Honestly, I'm just not too sure how it will come out, so I'll just start writing, and see what happens. I recently changed brokers, and I know it happens every day. I was just not expecting the reaction that I have received from my former broker. I guess I was just hoping for a little more professionalism from a business owner. I have had a couple of questions about tying up loose ends since I left, and I get no response. Is this normal?!? I don't feel like I left under … (68 comments)
roanoke: I Still Love The Feeling
- 07/09/11 08:40 AM
On Thursday, I ratafied another contract. Now, I will gladly admit, that I don't do a ton of business. As many of you know, I also work a "day job" for insurance purposes. I have been a realtor for about a year now, so I guess I'm still considered "new" to the field, but I still love the process, the education (for me as well as my clients), and the feeling of satisfaction that I get when I know I have done the best possible job for my clients. The latest one was actually officially ratified on the couples anniversary...I mean … (1 comments)
roanoke: Productive Weekend
- 05/31/11 11:40 AM
First of all, let me give a huge thank you to all the open house advice I received. Rest assured that I will put it to good use, and let everyone know how it works. All the ideas also got the wheels turning with some of my own ideas, that I will test and gladly pass along if they work. On the home front, we finally closed on the HUD house today, and the clients are very excited to get started working on their new home. I haven't sold a lot of homes, but I still love the feeling when it … (0 comments)
roanoke: HUD Closing Nightmare
- 05/25/11 02:27 PM
Ok. Let me preface this by saying thank you to everyone involved in this process from the selling agent, to the title company, to my lending officer, and most of all to my client. I am currently in what seems like has been an endless delay to close a HUD property. The house is a very good purchase for my client, and everything she hoped to get in her new home. I will leave the name of the company (not the local agent, but the company who is representing HUD) out of the conversation, because it is not important. We initially … (10 comments)
roanoke: Evening Plans?

Toni ght my band The Pop Rivets, is playing at Awful Arthurs at Towers Mall in Roanoke. It's been a long time since we've rocked that place, so come on out and make some noise. If you haven't heard us, we play a wide variety of soul, rock, punk, and funk. Always a good time. If you're a member of AR, I'll be working sound and lights, so come on over and say hi. I'd love to meet some fellow bloggers in person. Showtime is at 9:30. Hope to see you there! -T … (1 comments)
roanoke: New Beginnings
- 10/10/10 04:01 AM
Greetings again! So if you have followed my blog posts this past week, you already know it has been a big week for me. I'm excited about all the changes going on in my professional and personal life. All these changes are now driving me to do something I have needed to do for far too long now. Today (hopefully) is my last day as a smoker. I've been doing it well over half of my life. My careers have always enabled the habit. Any of you who are, or who know musicians, know that it's just a part of what … (2 comments)
