Yes, we have people treating home searches like the proverbial Easter egg hunt -- running around as fast as they can looking to find the "Jewel", that one undiscovered bargain that they must have in order to win.  Buy a home is not about winning, it is about making "informed decisions and compromises".  I have never seen the perfect home, everything is about compromise, not settling but actually making trade off decisions -- and guess what, almost everybody is happy at the end of the search.  So stop the panic hunting for the "golden egg" -- find the right egg.

I need some help again.  I tried to set up the background system for my AR blog -- but nothing happens.  Once in a while the picture that I chose, flashes across the screen,  but then it is gone.  And no back ground shows up anywhere.  Can I view it some way? Do I need to redo the whole thing?  Is there a size limit on the background picture ( ?? need to re-size before installing??).  I hate to ask such dumb questions , but I bet I am not the only one who is having trouble - they just may be more shy than me, or have given up.  Help from AR members is always forth coming and I am sure someone will help me this time too.  AND THANKS AHEAD OF TIME  -  Bob 12/21/2008

Large loans, say $550,000, understandably consume considerable attention and backup details.  But it appears the smaller ones, say $120,000, also are burdened with minute details.  We are working a small one now and the requirements from the banks are just overwhelming.  "Certificate of divorce", now that is a new one to me.  Yes, that is what we had to get today in order to satisfy the lender.  I guess in this state of "extreme losses and panic", the lenders are dotting every "i" and crossing every "t".  Maybe if they had been a little more thorough earlier --- this mess would not have overtaken us. 12/17/2008

In this market it is not easy to sell a home.  But sellers must understand that first things are first, and that means that people coming to see the home (traffic) is the number one requirement.  If your traffic is slow to non-existent, then I propose that there are no offers on the table.  Offers come only after considerable traffic, so we need to focus on creation of traffic in order to sell.  Of course really low prices drawlots of interest, but most sellers are very reluctant to lower their prices.  Another good draw is unique financing options, like owner carry financing. Seller paid HOA dues for a short period, often works too.  We have to use some creative lures to get the (limited) buyers to come to see our offerings. 11/27/2008
