Stone County Missouri Real Estate Market Report for June 2009
According to the MLS statistics, single family homes sales in Stone, County last month total was 23 homes with the highest priced one selling for $425,000 and the lowest priced one sold for $115000. There were less short-sales and foreclosure sales and more owner re-sales. Good news indeed for the Stone County and Table Rock Lake area Real Estate Market.
Real Estate Market information is local and we have financing available for buyers and a good price still being found on investment property. Naturally, whether you should buy or sell depends upon your particular circumstances more than any other factor. If you want to read a good article on the Mortgage situation I recommend Ken Cooks's blog for Novation: http://activerain.com/blogsview/1136482/why-loan-officers-kill-deals-cost-you-time-and-money-and-anger-customers he is smart and funny too, a good read.

Steve Mattison - Your Ozarksagent

Listing another's home can get you into situations you would really prefer not to be involved in. Like a couple weeks ago the president of our local MLS showed a new listing that a couple of other agents had shown the day before. That same evening we were talking and in the meantime one of the one agents called and informed me they had some fleas on them when they left the day before. It was too late to inform the Pres. so when I saw the bites on her arm I knew we had a situation but she was so gracious and assumed I did not know about it before I could inform her of that fact.
She is such a beautiful person and we are so lucky to have her in such an important position in our local MLS.
Well I informed the owner we needed to get that place taken care of before we had a worse situation on our hands and sure enough, I got a call a couple days later, bombs had been set off and everything was under control.
Today I got a call from another agent who unknowingly took in her clients, who just happen to work for the health department and the white pants she was wearing showed the hundreds of fleas that immediately attacked her so she warned them not to bring the baby in and saved us from a very bad scenario to say the least.
She was not a happy camper when she told me about it and as I apologized profusely thanking her for saving our legal necks she hung up to spray herself again I am sure!
Moral of the story? I just feel it's necessary to warn everyone in writing before something happens, one of my listings has fleas (at least) but some also have ticks, mice, chiggers, spiders, snakes, raccoons, and you name it.
However, thankfully, many of them are probably as pest-free as a home in the Ozarks can be, and if they are not, I will surely tell you if I know otherwise, I promise!

I was looking for a home within driving distance of my new job in Branson after moving here from New Orleans. I called a couple of real estate agents listed in the phone book but they never returned my call. Steve was my next call and he returned my call and susequent phone calls and emails promptly. He showed me houses all over the country-side. We found just what I was looking for at the price I wanted to pay. He helped through the funding and closing and got me into my new home in less than a month. Jim Hogberg, Hilton's of Branson, MO.
We asked you to be our buyers agent because of 3 reasons: you e-mail us about the house and 19 acres that we looked at first. Although it wasn't exactly what we wanted we thought you had listened to us and you understood the type of property that we were looking for. You seemed knowledgeable to us about the current real estate climate when advising us about what might be a reasonable offer. Lastly, we thought you seemed like a nice, honest person that we could work with. Yes, we would use you again! You were always available to answer our questions. You checked on lots of details to make sure we had all of our t's crossed and i's dotted. Thanks again for all of your help. We're VERY happy with our new house and acreage!
Thanks again,
Pam Burke - BC Tours of Branson
