Happy Holidays

I just wanted to take a minute to say HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all my friends that come across my blog. My goal is to increase my post for next year, so I am hoping to talk to more people this coming year. This was a down year in Real Estate but my business is up. I hope everybody has a happy health holiday and we will talk to you next year!!

Tax Credit

We have a lot of people asking questions about the new tax credit for home buyers. I have received a number of calls asking for more information about how the second time buyers tax credit works. So the market has a lot of activity, and I have a few more listing coming from people ready to move up. But they want to make sure we price it right to sell it quick so they can buy the next home. That is a change from what I have been hearing over the last year!

Foreclosure or Short Sale?

I have been asked this question by so many people over the last month. People just don't understand how it effect their credit? I am also surprised at the amount of people that are in trouble? It must be a sign of the time, I am trying to help as many people as possible to make the correct decision. If you have a question please don't hesitate to ask!

Disposable Society?

The numbers of people that I talk to every day about short sales and foreclosures are surprising. Some people want the help and others seem like they don't care? I care about my credit rating, my home, my business, but it seem like other don't care?? Do we live in a disposable society? A lot of people don't want to save anything any more. The give up on their marriage, family, work or business, homes, whats up?

For those of you that do care and need help, let me know. I will do what I can to help you get going in the right direction, or just need some friendly advise. I do a lot with first time home buyers, divorced couples, and anybody needing advice. If I don't get a sale at this time, but I can help somebody that's fine. When you do need help buying or selling a home I will be around. I will stay in touch and be there when you need me, feel free to email me or call my cell. Good Luck and have a great day!

Short Sale

Well I finally got one to come together in only 6 weeks. With a lot of help from the client and getting an attorney involved. The attorney worked out great, he was on top of it daily making all the right calls. This is a lot better than the six months I spent last time, and then found out the person lost his job before closing. And then it never closed, Oh well! You have to stay positive and keep going. One closing this week, which is good! And three more next months, things are picking up!
