Valentine's Day is just around the corner and it is now time to prepare and to buy those sweet little things for your Honey, your friends and your children. I hope children still give Valentines on Valentine's Day. I can remember getting so excited to make out all my valentines and to say just the right thing to just the right people....boys mostly....but girfriends too.

I'll be trying to think of some wonderful thing to do for David and I am sure that it will involve chocolate (I can partake as well....no gluten in chocolate....gotta love that). Ginger will get a red toy that she will gut within minutes but you have to know that is her fav part and it is a friend for life even without guts.

So as a reminder of the day that is coming, I have prepared a little ditty from me to you....wishing you Happy Valentine's Day. It is also a lament to my beloved Picnik as I celebrate it to create the ditty. Have a happy. It is our choice to be happy!

Happy Valentine's Day Picnik - We Will Miss You - Jeanean Gendron

The Pool of Realtors is Getting Smaller - Can You Survive - The Service Wheel of Many Spokes--We recently had an opportunity to become aware of the number of Realtors here in our local area that made their annual dues and are still actively doing real estate. The number has gone from somewhere around 1500 Realtors down to around 475. That is a reduction of 69% of the Realtor base. Given, some have come and gone and we do have new agents but the numbers are sobering for sure.

If we examined how these 31% have survived, we don't find anything that surprises. In my local area, it would not be Social Media that is the success factor. I do see other Realtors on Facebook and Twitter. I do see Realtors with good websites that get good SEO and compete with me for the online market.

You do have to have an online presence to play in this market. This is a given. As I go down the list of those Realtors that remain and who the Top Producers are, they are the Realtors with relationships built over years and the Realtors who practice the basic skills required in real estate. Picking up the phone and contacting your past clients and your sphere of influence is what still makes the phone ring. It is not floor calls, or web leads. You can bring in new business by working the "expireds". In the end, however it is your referral base that keeps that activity coming and that brings you sustainable business. It is your past service and your present level of service.

If you see your business as if it were a bicycle wheel with many spokes that provide you the opportunity of offering many value added services for your clients and you see the hub of this bicycle wheel as your past clients and current clients, you have a visual model for how your business is structured. The Service Wheel of Many Spokes represents the continued constant effort and guidance on the current trending market conditions and that caring element of "staying in touch". The thoughtful act of communication sustains your business. It is the combined value we provide through an online presence and the face to face interaction that keep it real. Just by picking up the phone and staying in touch, we provide an organic contribution to our Community. Hopefully, we are one of many with like-minded goals of offering service and value.

While we have seen those numbers go down, it is also inspiring to find that common trait that offers us that opportunity to continue what we love to do and that would be helping our clients buy and sell real estate.

I have a good friend in life and in Business. We have both been working hard and would like to go and play. No play for us for a while. We have much to do....helping some sweet First Time Home Buyers that are on fire with determination. It is needed in this very agressive market right now. So we are on the phone a lot and running around to see each and every house that might do....we will be successful. Lots of phone calls. This might be my fav part of real estate.

I created a full blown Webinar today for our HUD trainings. We are about to send out our monthly email blast for the training that will now include a webinar version...Yeah! David is still parsing the email for the latest updated email list. Maybe tomorrow we can do the email blast.

We now have 2 or our 3 short sales approved and since we cannot play for a while....I'm celebrating some of David's work that he's done since we have been here in Redding. I really need to do something new because he has newer things and I like them also.

So here is to fun coming soon and sharing some good work with you from someone that I like rather much!

Redding CA - Lake Redding Park - Where the Train Trestle Tracks Go - Don't You Just Love Them--Located along the Sacramento River is Lake Redding Park. It is right next to Caldwell Park which a Blog about often. We go here. There is a picturesque foot bridge (my next photo project) and of course the River which affords many photo ops. Also along here are the railroad trestle tracks and I can't resist them. I'm always snapping a shot or two. Enjoy!

This is a Gazebo next to the River for Groups to plan parties and picknics. I love the Trestle in the background.

Wow! Look at this big boy. It is really cool when the train goes by!

Look up and looking out, it all about Trains in the Sky.

This is the foot bridge that use to be for autos. It now is for bike riders and skaters. People like walk and take photos!

Short Sale Agent gets Homeowners -Cash for Keys- from Bank of America Short Sale Redding Ca.

Did you think foreclosure was your only option? Has Bank of America approached you about doing a short sale on your home?

Hundreds of Bank of America clients are working thru the process of selling their home thru a short sale. This process is where a short sale agent negotiates with Bank of America to sell your home for less money than is owed on it.

If you are interested in learning about Bank of America's short sale programs contact me today, Laura Reilly at (530) 921-1063.

Bank of America continues to implement more people, new process and upgraded technology platforms to assist homeowners who want to sell their home, but think they cannot.

The newest program to be rolled out by Bank of America is called a cooperative approach to a short sale. Meaning home owner and the lender are cooperating in order to get the home sold.

This type of short sale may prove to be the quickest route to a short sale decision if you begin the process early enough. This process can be started even before any mortgage payments are missed.

Bank of America does not approve of the term "cash for keys" but prefers to call it relocation assistance. If your co operative short sale is approved by Bank of America, your real estate agent will receive an approval letter stating the terms and conditions of the sale. One of the terms may be relocation assistance.

The impact on your credit from doing a short sale on the property typically is less severe than a foreclosure. After a co operative short sale with Bank of America a deficiency charge off will be reported to credit bureaus.

Bank of America will have the property appraised if you participate in the short sale. The appraisal will help determine the fair market value of your home. Another benefit to the co operative short sale, the homeowner does NOT pay for this.
