What you do in your profession is a noble service to the American Dream - and we salute you!
Over two hundred years ago, the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock were a people who had left the easy life, overcome long odds, and survived hardship. At the first Thanksgiving Feast, as they faced another long hard winter, they knew they would overcome. They had hope for a Spring Season that would return with growth and promise of a future harvest.
As we face the Winter of '2008-'2009, we need to remember that Realtors are Pilgrims too! We too have left the easy life, overcome long odds, and survived hardship. We too will feast at Thanksgiving, even while we face a winter that we know we will overcome. We will have hope for a Spring that will return with growth and promise of a future harvest.
Right now, it may seem hard to summon a spirit of Thanksgiving and Gratitude. Realtors have shared with me in recent days that "survival" is foremost in their mind, and that the "unthinkable" is no longer "unthinkable". Yes, times are tough. Maybe it has been a while since you last made budget. Maybe it has been too long since you had a closing. Maybe selling clients are hurting while buyer clients are fickle. Maybe there are foreclosures, and short sales, and families in crisis. But there is always hope!
As a Realtor - you are an unsung hero in the fabric of the American Economy. You serve in ways the public hardly understands. You may be helping those who have lost a spouse, or a job, or their health. You no doubt include encouragement and hope as you serve in difficult times. It's rewarding to be able to help in this way. But you also need to have a financial reward. We understand and are working to help you with that!
Just For The Day - This Thanksgiving, Some things need to be set beyond reach of momentary struggles. Our prayer for you is that you will be able to take a moment to celebrate Family, Hope, and all that is Good. We hope that the Holiday brings a time to be with family. The strength in collective numbers is healing. We can look at smiling faces, and see the wonderful ways that former struggles have been overcome. In some cases, challenges are still being faced, but past victories give us hope for renewal and better days ahead.
It is a time, in our noble Pilgrim Tradition to count the good and rekindle hope. The landscape of your profession has been hit by a "perfect storm", but it is still ripe with possibility and hope. While you work for what may seem a meager harvest, those who are continuing to serve the Noble Goals of the Profession will continue to plant good seed and to fertilize growing relationships. It will pay off!
The market will turn around. Peace and Prosperity will come again to our Great Land. The Pilgrim Spirit is alive and well in America. This is a Spirit of strength, hope, and faith in Providence to overcome adversity. Your noble service to the American Dream will be honored with future business that comes your way.
This Thanksgiving, I am grateful for the positive reception that has been extended to HomeFinder Channel 100. We have worked to inject something new into the real estate marketplace. We are creating the possibility to reduce costs and increase the financial rewards. Many Realtors chose to cut something "old school" that was not working and try something new that costs less and does more! We are grateful to those brokers and agents who accepted our offer to become "Partners in Progress". When you made us part of your marketing plan, we began working beside you, working together with you to plant good seed, help you be visible in the marketplace, and fertilize the growing hope of better days ahead.
"Partners in Progress" Face Challenges Together.
Sincerely,
Buckeye CableSystem

Today, I heard two interesting comments that I thought were worth blogging about.
1. The oil companies have made a lot of money over the last few years. Why not have the oil industry fund the bail out of the auto industry? Comments............
2. The auto industry needs money to retool for the more fuel efficient autos of the future. The big three auto manufactures already are producing fuel efficient auto in other countries. Why not have them crate the tooling in those foreign countries and bring them back to the USA. Comments...............

In the past four weeks it has become very common place that in our market we are going to have to take lease purchases since we are unable to secure a conventional purchase agreement on properties that are listed for sale.
The biggest problem that we are having to overcome so far is that a lot of the potential buyers don't have a lot of downpayment. SO my first recomendation to a potential purchaser is that if you need creative terms until you either sell a home or straighten our some credit problems you need to have cash to put down for a deposit. In other words Money Talks!
The second problem that I keep running into is Pets. Don't get me wrong.....I love my dogs!! More than anyone else! Trust me. I take Gizmo to St. Martin in the Carribean with me believe it or not! BUT when you are doing a lease purchase that is considered a Lease unless there is a large down payment put down.
SO please consider these things. Also the shorter the term the better. In other words the sooner you can get your own financing the better!
In these trying ecnomic times we have to work together and I have a lot of sellers that are very willing to be more creative than they would have been a year or more a go. But we still have to protect their interest in the property.

Well, I tried this whole blogging thing a year ago and didn't make the most of it, so here's to hoping the second time is a charm! I'm hoping that as time goes on, I will be able to provide some useful information relating to real estate in the Toledo, OH area, as well as some other general posts related to Toledo and northwest Ohio. Who knows, maybe I'll even put some interesting personal and family stories on here from time to time!
Another hope that I have for this blog is that you will want to post comments on what I've written, as well as ask questions and even make suggestions for future posts. I don't want this to just be a place for you to come and get some information, but a place for you to communicate and grow with me and others in our area. Northwest Ohio is a great place, I think that people around the country and world need to know more about us!
I think that this is the beginning of a great blogging experience for all of us. Help me make it the best that it can be!
Go Buckeyes!
