About Brainerd's Little Falls

President Obama has swiftly moved the United States of America from our traditional American model of entrepreneurship and private initiative to something that quite closely resembles a European model of regulation and government control. He has the uncanny ability to get Congressional Democrats to give him things that will undermine their own power – they have 94% of the time in the House and 91% of the time in the Senate.
His Economic Stimulus bill that was in fact a pay back for the liberal interest base and future vote buying cost those people who actually pay taxes $787 billion dollars and more hands are coming out from under the covers to get treats. Do you realize that this moved along at a pace that no member of Congress even read the bill in its entirety before they voted on it? Just hand them a rubber stamp and an inkpad.
One of his big campaign pledges was to end earmarks, but the appropriations bill he signed had 8000 earmarks in it. That showed great progress in keeping promises.
The EPA has now ruled that greenhouse gases are a threat to public health, opening the door to strict regulation of American life, not to mention that of cows, by the government.
President Obama has felt an obligation to apologize for America and her people by labeling our country as “arrogant, dismissive and derisive” in front of foreign audiences – that should make them like us better and respect us more, don’t you think?
Here is what he thinks about those in small towns:
"You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

As columnist Jackie Cushman puts it “if we’re not careful, instead of change we can believe in, we’re going to have change in what we believe.

Homes are selling but they are not selling for as high a price nor are they selling as quickly. Does that sound familiar in your area?

As a Keller Williams REALTOR/Staging Specialist, I know at least a partial solution to the problem. In order for your home to sell better and faster than those of the competitions' it needs to be properly presented and be priced competitively, from the start. A home that shows well both outside and inside is going to get offers. When prospective buyers make an emotional connection with the home - they want it! Home staging is more than cleaning and decluttering (although a lot of MLS photos are also missing that element). Color, traffic flow, highlighting focal elements, curb appeal, up grades that pay back - use my expertise to get your property sold.

Let us work with you as a team player to change the statistics and make 2009 a more productive year.
