"THAT ONE".... IS THE ONE THAT WON....AND WILL WIN...

Wow that was rather condescending.. I think that that may push some people over the edge for OBama. They are interviewing someone now on the town hall panel with Katie Couric who was very swayed by that comment from Mr. McCain.

Whether you care for Mr. Obama for President or not, you must admit he is a great speaker and possesses class. Do you think that he did a good job of reaching out to the middle class workers??

I also don't think that Mr. Obama needs "On the job training"

He just needs to appoint the proper people with whom to surround himself.. The man has a plan...

Be Diligent in Finding the Right Realtor/Lender/Attorney...Proper Representation is Key...

With all of the changes in the mortgage/homes industry that is going on, it is imperitive that you find an agent that you can trust. As in any other industry....most people reach out to friends who have had past dealings for referrals from plumbers to electricians, painters, landscapers, etc. Your Realtor should be no different. Sure, go on line and see who ranks the highest when googling, and certainly check out their information - and then begin asking around. Just because the word "Expert" appears on their website, doesn't mean that that is fact.

Secondly, make sure that you trust your lender. Again, referrals, either from your "Trusted Realtor" or someone such as your attorney (also, referrals). A great working relationship is needed with lender, realtor and attorney.. Oh yeah, Inspectors, too. There is more than just calling from an ad or visiting "Realtor.com" to view properties.

I believe that one of the biggest mistakes, if not THE BIGGEST, is not to confide in your Realtor/Attorney/Lender. We are here to help you - and yes, we get paid for it... But as stated above, Referrals are our lifeline. If we mis represent you, we achieve no further referrals from you. In order to properly work for and with you, we need accurate and truthful information. We understand that there is much information available for the consumer and an educated consumer can often be helpful, but, some information must be told. If you are having trouble with making your payments, Tell Me. I can't market your home properly without knowing the situation.

A mistake that potential buyers make is to alter their financial situation before closing. This is not the time to buy a car, co-sign for a friend (Should probably not do this at any time), buy awesome new furniture for the new place. This changes your ratios and you may no longer be able to qualify for the loan. Hold off on any new purchases..

Count on the RE/MAX Balloon to help you through your purchase, sale or lease of your new home.

The Eagles Play in Chicago at The United Center..."Long Road out of Eden"

Anyone who attended the show last evening at The United Center in Chicago was treated to style, grace, humor and the fantastic music of the Eagles. Harmony and Just plain Excellent music was on the docket.

The Eagles played for 3 hours and did a fantastic medley of new / middle / and OLD Eagles tunes. Joe Walsh/James Gang music was played as well as Don Henley and Glenn Frye songs.

These guys gave a great performance and sounded fantastic. Their back up band did not miss a beat and I am glad that I was able to attend. (could have lived without the guys next to me talking the whole time and over indulging in drink)

I can't say enough about the performance. They are fine tuned and they played the songs the way you remember them.

Click here for the Eagles Band website where you can see other show dates. Tickets are still on sale for tonights performance.

Gotta warn ya....... They are going to be tired...
