    There’s A House For Everyone

    The national trend over the last several years has been to downsize housing for several reasons, one among them being your carbon footprint (see we write articles that appeal to Everyone, right?)

      Things That Make You Go…Hmmm

      We love the guys at KCM BLOG, they have good sound “stuff” to say and they tend to keep it in perspective, not crisisize it like the media tends to do.

        How To Broom

        Some people don’t know how to do stuff. Whether they had someone else to do this stuff growing up, whether their Moms worked and never taught them, or whether they just didn’t get it, there are folks out there that are ….well, doing stuff challenged.

        There are also folks who Know how to do stuff, been doin it all their lives, so we thought if we brought the folks who know how to do stuff and the folks that don’t know how to do stuff together, each life would be touched in some fulfilling way. (Being your favorite Realtors and all…we know this is important work like bringing folks that don’t have a house to see folks that have a house to sell together…ok, I digress.)

        Anyway, for those of you who don’t know HOW TO BROOM, this will be an education, and for those of you who Do know HOW TO BROOM, it is a refresher course where you might pick up some great tips.

        We are grateful to the folks at SlapClap.com for filming this tutorial!

          Happy 4th of July

          Happy 4th of July

          The 4th of July is by far one of my favorite holidays (ok, well Christmas too, but for the summer…can’t beat it).  I love celebrating the history of this great country, our fight for freedom, the right to live our lives as we choose, FIREWORKS ( I have to agree with my son-in-law Michael on this one, fireworks are the best!), and everything else that goes along with this holiday.

          I found a quote from Erma Bombeck , who was a humorist from my era. I loved her writing because she wrote a great deal on living life in the regular lane (as opposed to the fast lane, which quite frankly makes me tired).  She had this to say about the 4th of July:

          “You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness.  You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.”

          So, in keeping with that spirit of family, kids, and the like, which is my passion (as well as helping said families get into their dream homes…which is for another post…I digress), my favorite place to be on the 4th of July (ok, well during any holiday or anytime I can get there) is wait for it…

          Walt Disney World

          For those of you who know me, this is no surprise…my daughter works for them, we have a timeshare there, and well, it’s just the best place on earth as far as I am concerned.  So…since I love fireworks (see paragraph 1), I thought I would leave you with this video shot on July 1st of what else ” Disney 4th of July Fireworks”.  Enjoy!

            Foreclosures-Can You Compete?

             

            Do You Think There Is Unfair Competition in Foreclosures?

            One of the biggest problems some of our clients have faced in the past is getting offers in on foreclosed properties  before investors outbid them with cash offers and quick close times.
