How can you watch the Olympics and not think about Big Dreams? Michael Phelps accomplishes his life long dream of 8 Olympic Medals, and he's only 24! Dara Torrez, age 41! Has one 2 Silver Medals. She said she'd tell her 2 year old daughter you are never too old to dream! Constantina Tomescu-Dita, Romanian, 36 years old - wins the gold in the Woman's Marathon -- WOW. We help our clients every day accomplish their dreams, but what about us? So this has made me wonder - what are my BIG DREAMS? Have I forgotten how to dream? As a child wasn't I told to "be realistic"? Tonight I'm going to write out my DREAMS! Maybe they are my "Wildest Dreams", if I don't know what they are how can I accomplish them? What about you -- do you still dream? What do you dream about? Let's share our dreams, perhaps sharing will make them more real.
The Olympics are finally HERE! So will you watch? Do you care? What's your favorite event? Will you watch the TV coverage without knowing the results? Will you watch a cable channel live? Will it affect your business? Is it more hype than talent? Discuss all things OLYMPICS - in the '08 Olympics group-- sign up -- http://activerain.com/groups/08Olympics THOUGHTS?

The easy answer is "Yes of course it matters." The bigger question is how many of us have it. True My definition of Character - is "what do you do when NO ONE IS WATCHING?" Do you take the high road or cut corners? I've defined character over the years for my children with a family motto... perhaps the Real Estate community should adopt it. It goes like this, "You can't always be perfect, you CAN always be HONORABLE." Do what's your definition of Character?
Great Stats provided courtesey of Altos Research. inventory is up, prices are down, but flattening -- what are you waiting for?
Wowzee--- Yowzeee... there are homes for sale in those there hills. For 8 days -- 8/1 - 8/7 Pulte is selling off their new construction homes. $20,000 in upgrades. WOW. These prices are incredible. Here's the kicker -- call me, take me with you to negotiate the deal. Yes, it is true the builder will do most of the paper work, but WHO will be representing YOU. I guarantee the BUILDER's rep is guarding the builders interest. Call today, I've only got a few slots let to show these few homes. 209-914-5573 Well the Bill has been signed, the new era of mortgage lending is continuing. Will it help or will it hurt? Will it make a difference? Will it really be useful? click HERE to read the article by Inman News, I'm not sure, I can tell you that I hope I qualify to refinance my home at today's value of 1/3 what my current mortgage amount is. Wouldnt' that be nifty. I could continue to make the same payment and pay twice as much on my loan. Tell me what you think -- I'd love to hear it.
Dear Mr/Mrs. REO Agent - Please help me, the agent who hasn't cracked that REO barrior yet, me; the agent that gets to sell
 those properties to some great people, please answer a question for me....
How much influence to you have with the your Asset Manager? Do you have any influence, some, none. I'm sure that they ulitmately make the decision, but I have certainly found some REO agents who seem much more intune with making the deal happen than with being scared to rock the boat with the Asset Manager. So can you influence their decision? Of course I have reasons for asking - I've got an issue with an agent, we got the radified contract on JULY 18th - and it's an FHA loan - of course it's not going to close on August 1st! DUH. Agent said "this is my biggest client I don't want to rock the boat." Well how rocking is it if my buyer walks due to $100 per diem? Oh yeah, that was the other stellar comment made -- submit an extension and prepare your buyer for 10 - 15 days of $100/day per diem. uh NOOOOOO --- it was totally the bank and the asset's manager delay in getting the contract to us..... Please help.
