Winston Salem, NC

REMINDER to ALL - contact your states Senators and Congressperson

Brad & Angela Lawrence - Realtors/Owners - Greensboro - Winston Salem -High Point: Real Estate Agent in Greensboro, NC

Congress may soon consider a new economic stimulus bill. Housing has always lifted our economy out of past economic downturns so it is imperative that Congress focus on housing in the next stimulus package.

We need ALL to support NAR's efforts to have the NAR Four-Point Housing Stimulus Plan included in any future stimulus bill.

See the following Four-Point Housing Stimulus Plan .........

Make the $7500 tax credit available to all purchasers and eliminate the repayment requirement. The credit’s limited availability and required repayment terms have severely limited the credit’s appeal to potential homebuyers. As a result, the credit has not been widely used or proven effective at stimulating sales. THIS WOULD BE WONDERFUL!

Make the 2008 FHA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan limits permanent. New rules for 2009 would significantly reduce the FHA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan limit from their 2008 levels. Now is not the time to limit the availability of affordable mortgages.

Get the Emergency Treasury bank relief program back on track by targeting more funds to mortgage relief efforts and increasing efforts to mitigate foreclosures. Don't just give the banks unrestricted cash. Make the program work to improve mortgage and housing markets as it was originally intended.

Permanently bar banks and banking conglomerates from engaging in real estate brokerage and management. The banks have proven they have enough to do to simply properly manage their current lines of business. Do we really want them to manage on the home buying process? Imagine what could have been the situation now if they already had the added ability to engage in real estate sales.

What search tools are the buyers using to find homes?

Brad & Angela Lawrence - Realtors/Owners - Greensboro - Winston Salem -High Point: Real Estate Agent in Greensboro, NC
There are so many sources for buyers to use to find homes, with 80% plus buyers searching online, that is the preferred path.

In our area (Piedmont Triad), the preferred online search tool is Listingbook.com, it is a service that is fed from our MLS every 30 minutes. No doubt it is best search tool, it is far superior than any other search tool that we have experienced. It allows buyers to have their own personal account, save favorites, make property notes, communicate back and forth with their agent through property notes, very customized search critera and FREE.........here are more benefits of Listingbook.

We do not know of any buyers that look in the newspaper or magazines anymore, if we get a call, they saw it online or a yard sign.

If your a buyer, where do you find homes for sale?

If your an agent, where do your buyers find the homes?
