Hi Everyone! Not sure if you heard or not, but there's a new tax in town. Actually, it's nationwide.

You can check her out at SamIAmHo...

Overrated and Underrated. February 10, 2013 Overrated - Whitesnake. The band. You know them. David Coverdale is the singer. Good voice, just overrated.

I Need a Monroe, Michigan, Realtor! I received an inquiry on my website earlier today from someone asking if a property is still available. When I looked it up, it was already under contract and in an area that's out of my range. I don't have an agent to refer potential clients to in the Monroe, ...

Which Comes First...Buying or Selling? January 2013. It's still a sellers market. But that doesn't mean that you can go out and look for a new house, expect an accepted offer on it and THEN put your house on the market. The best way to buy a new house is to sell your house FIRST. Unless, of cours...

Hi Everyone! Not sure if you heard or not, but it looks like our awesome government (said tongue-in-cheek) has extended the Debt Relief Act. A good friend of mine wrote a blog about it. Check it out.
