I'm the Regional Vice-President of Cherry Creek Mortgage, so I really should know better.  BUT I DIDN'T.  My role, I always thought was to hire great loan originators, make sure that we invest in our clients, and fight through underwriting problems. Recently, I had a branch manager who reported t...

It's really pretty funny if you were to ask me.  I received a phone call from a client who read my post on Active Rain.  He wasn't referred by a realtor or any third party.  No, he just read my blog about FHA loans.  He's a doctor.  What makes this so unique is that he: SOLD HIS HOME IN A SHORT S...

OK....so this isn't quite the "Speechless Part of Speechless Sundays", but my brother, Mark, sent me two live Maine Lobsters for my birthday, unbeknowest to me.  I came home and saw this box and brought it inside and forgot about it.  Mark called me and asked me if I had opened it.  I say not ye...

When I was in high school, I was the PERFECT "C" STUDENT....AT BEST!

One of the happiest kids God has put on this earth.  I love my little big man!  Here he is learning about and appreciating the great outdoors in Rocky Mountain National Park this past October!  We hiked, we climbed, we sweated and we even got to play in the snow for one morning.  He's a real tro...

According to the Kane County Chronicle, a bunch of residents went to the St. Charles Countryside Fire Protection District meeting Monday night to find out about "the district's future" even though the trustees weren't quite ready to give any particular direction! "I know there are concerns, but w...

HUD Mortgage Insurance guarantees that a Reverse Mortgage is a No Recourse Loan.  Can't get any better than that now can it?  What if you're a senior and you're worried about income?  What if you're concerned about the how to make a payment?  The Reverse Mortgage just might be the decision for yo...

There's a lot of opportunity out there.  The reality is that the market cooperates with us sometimes, and quite frankly, it keeps kicking me in the nuts other times.  The real deal is that I keep moving forward.  I absolutely hate taking it in the nuts, but, hey, what are you going to do?  times....

 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
