If you are not utilizing Google maps you are really missing the boat. Did you know by creating a Google map it can very well place you on the top of the search engines..the map that is!
Put your business on Google maps! You can have a few...I do
It's very simple..if you have a Google account (which I strongly suggest you do) go to maps and look down and click at...Put your business on Google Maps click add a new map...input the information....request a phone call for a pin number...once you receive the pin number add it to your new Google listing...and await for the next update...
Its that simple and just another great way to promote yourself...your business and your website or blog!
I don't know how many times I have trained this but you would think more agents would utilize this! Of course a shameless plug...a little extra Google juice from ActiveRain and a real estate training lesson all in one!
p.s. Whoever is in charge of spellcheck...thank you...thank you ....thank you...Google is in spellcheck and I think blog and ActiveRain are too..What's up with Daytona????? oh well, I'm grateful still!

I've been bombarded with calls in regards to loan modifications and short sales..the one common element that I found while some major banks will do loan modifications...they are not for everyone..then again its clear..many banks choose not to work with people due to their current financial situations.
Loan Modifications are not for everyone!
Recently someone who I know..achieved a trial period for a loan modification...not sure it will help them..because in the trial period...the payments increased for three months...and will drop $50.00 a month..once the trial period is over.
As I sat and listened..I wondered how is this going to help this person who couldn't make the original payment from the beginning? Same financial situation..unemployed...a spouse not able to work for the time being..and now for three months must pay more...substantially more.
If you are in need of a loan modification...pay attention to the details..make sure the loan modification helps you but more importantly make sure you can keep the promise to make your monthly payments otherwise there is a good chance you will become a short sale!

Today I was reading an old copy of the REALTOR magazine, the 30 under 30 edition..and one of the things that struck a cord was the fact...Activerain was named Most Innovative Media Site by Inman News in 2007.
Heck I still believe they are the most innovative site..then again...I fell in love in 2006. This site has given me so much..
I don't know...I got nosy...and ran to Alexa.com...I wanted to see how the traffic was going and I stumbled upon..some interesting info...info that made me smile..it made me feel good but it also got me nervous.
Are you looking for Midori Miller? Well someone is! According to Alexa, Midori Miller is in the top 5 keywords that drive traffic to Activerain from search engines...I found this very interesting.
This would not have happened..if I did not participate on the network...if I would not have written a word about Daytona Beach Real Estate and every day life...and if I never built relationships all across the globe!
I would never experience the benefits of Pay it Forward, the incredible SEO and
Do yourself a favor....write interesting content...key word rich content...and write as if you are talking to people..these incredible things do not happen if you have very little to say..so get blogging...pull people in...the more the merrier....because Activerain..is much more than just a real estate community...

If you are reading this..you might want to pass this information along to someone not so highly skilled on the Internet. It could happen to them...
As a property manager or rental agent one thing to add to your presentation...to forewarn people leasing out their home...and those that are listing a property for sale?

How do I get started in purchasing a home? If I were personally look for a home today...I would do the following things before contacting a real estate professional:
Before I would pick up magazines and start looking at houses regardless of my income, my employment record regardless of how much cash I am working with..I would not assume anything..because I know guidelines have changed..First things first, I would contact a mortgage professional that I trust and would find out what I qualify for in order to buy a home.Because if I don't qualify..I'm not buying!
I would gather docs because I know you will need them...I would start with the following items: 2 years tax returns, 3 months bank statements, 1 year's worth of rent checks.I would let my employer know I are buying a house and to expect a letter or phone call of employment verification. It may hold true for a landlord as well so prepare to discuss this with your landlord.
If you are in a lease read through your lease agreement and your lease there may be a chance you can break your lease if you purchase a home. If it is not clearly stated in your documents go to your landlord or property manager and ask what are the consequences in breaking the lease now may be the time to buy a home but it may also prove it's not!
One thing I believe..you have a better chance in buying a home if you are prepared..if you do some homework in advance..and if you keep control in what is going on around you! Don't be the buyer who said they did it to me!
That means trust the professional you are working with, plan on cooperation and make sure and make good sound decisions...understand the documents...read the fine print but most of all pay attention to the numbers...after all its You and only you paying for that mortgage!
These are things I would certainly do!
