Want to move your listings....use the mortgage abatement program.  What this program does is allow homebuyers to not pay 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or up to 6 payments.  That's it!  The homebuyer doesn't need to make mortgage payments for up to six months.  So instead of just numerous price reductions, why no...

We'll see.  today they lost again to Purdue Boilermakers.  Purdue improved to 5-0 and Notre Dame dropped to 0-5.  People are calling for the head of Charlie Weiss.  But I got to tell you this is a rebuilding year.  9 of 11 starters of Notre Dame's Offense graduated last year.  Of course, Charlie ...

I have no problems with walking in the gray area of ethics, but questions need to be asked.  When I first got in the business, my old boss told me to copy a signature from the file in order to put it on a form that the borrowers verbally agreed to, but didnt' have the time to sign.  He got on the...

I am convinced that the tongue is the most powerful weapon any person owns.  Words alone have been the precipitating factors to many wars.  As a result, many have died from the wars that have been waged that have been started by words of others.  Additionally, as we've seen recently, careers have...

You hear about that Russian woman from the Ukraine that gave birth to that 17 pound, 1 oz kid?  It was her 12th kid.  Crazy.  She's from Siberia, which probably is not a good place to buy real estate or vacation....because from the sound of it, there's really not much else to do, but....well....y...

I saw a post not too long ago from a realtor who opposes loan officers giving realtors buyers to buy homes.  I'm curious...why would a realtor think that way?  One reason is that perhaps the realtor will feel "beholden" to the originator.  Another reason is possibly the realtor thinks that the lo...

 1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
(John 14:1-4, New King James Version) I review for BookSneeze
