I was doing some research today for a buyer that Marc Grossman sent me the other day. While doing so I came across some bad pictures. It makes me think What were these agents thinking? Come on people, if you want to sell your listings these pictures aren't going to help you, they are going to hurt you! If you have taken bad pictures because it was a bad day, how much time does it take to re-take them. A few seconds?         Almost looks sicadelic or something.                                                                   OK it is not always smokey here. Couldn't this agent have gone back and taken the picture again?                                   I don't know about you, but most of us are now using a Digital camera. This must have been taken with an old 35MM. What do you think?

The other day I got an email from my sister. You see I am going on vacation next week to Orlando. We are going to visit Mickey and Mini Mouse. Then also going to Sea World. Any one who has ever been to these two places knows that they are really crowded. I have three young children.  When I got this email I thought how great it was. Its called Safety Tattoos.

Where did the month of May go as we're well into summer now? We've seen some changes again this month; not major changes but those worth noting. You'll notice that the number of homes sold dropped just a bit as you see the average price of sold homes inched up. Is this telling us that less homes are sold when prices inch up? Do lower prices mean more home sales? We're seeing in this Buyers market that the Buyers entering the market want a good deal - they want a home on sale. Take a look below to see where the Buyers are moving. Once again in May, we continue to see an increase in sales of homes as a Short Sale. Who says that Short Sales don't close? The proof is in the pudding! The average number of days that it took homes to sell is still hovering around 7 months. The following is in ...

How many of you usually shop with those that have a better name or what we think, those who have a better brand name? I know I do. When I shop for clothes, I love shirts made by Polo. And yes, I generally pay for it in price, but I am also buying very good quality. But what about it when it comes to you shopping for a mortgage? It doesn't matter if it's an FHA loan or a conventional loan, do you go for the best recognized name? Such names as Countrywide, Wells Fargo, Bank of America? Here is the skinny of it.  No matter how big nor small may that company be, we all get our money from the same place when all said and done. With that said, you should seek out a mortgage professional. One who is honest and ethical. By not doing so, could cost you thousands of dollars in the long run.     ...

OK this weekend I went to Mini Takes the states. What's that you ask? Well its an event for those who own or will be owning a Mini Cooper. It has been my dream car for so long. When my husband told me about this event I told him we HAD to go. So we got the tickets the other week and was looking forward to the day. On Friday I had went to Vista Motors to put down my deposit for the car. While I was there over a 100 minis drove up in a line. I was so excited and wished I was in it. On Saturday we drove down to Homestead Miami Speedway for the event. We started of with the Cross Rally. They had the minis there to drive on the Rally tracks and we got to drive them like race cars. Man can I tell you how much fun that was! Both my self and husband got to drive it. My poor kids were so sad bec...

  In Chapter 1, we went over on how the distressed homeowner wanting to avoid foreclosure qualifies for a Short Sale. Now that it has been determined that you qualify for a Short Sale , what's the next step? Your case for why your Lender should approve a short sale on your behalf will be presented to your Lender by a skilled Short Sale Specialist. As a Realtor, representing distressed homeowners, I have to provide a good and solid argument to your Lender that is backed by market statistics, proof of your financial hardship and good negotiation skills. It's not for the faint of heart. But you, as the distressed homeowner trying to avoid foreclosure must be willing to provide the necessary documents to your Realtor. Let's take a look at what the Lenders will want to see from you: Hardship...

Have you been to Wannadoo City yet? I went about 2 years ago and was not happy. Maybe because my kids were to small yet to enjoy what they had there. But we thought we give it a try once more now that the kids are older. You see I have been on a quest to do things with the kids during the summer. Trying to take them out instead of staying home.  WannaDoo City has a great summer program going on. Your ticket price is for a 10 day summer pass is $52.95, where your one day pass is $29.95, and parents are free. So we opted for the summer pass. Pretty good deal. We took them today and what a blast they had. They got to ride in a fire truck and put out a fire. They got to be CSI agents and go looking for bad guys. They got to work at Publix. They went treasure hunting at the Dinasour exhibt. ...

Well the new iPhone is going to go on sale July 11. The phone looks the same except it will move faster and will have video capablities. And it will be selling for a lot less then when it origiinally came out 2 years ago. Now I have the original one. Is this new iPhone that much more impressive than the one I currently own. I don't think so. I don't plan on trading my phone in, but I think this is the perfect time for those who have wanted to buy the phone. It only cost $199.00. I think that its great they made it so affordable.  Looks like Steve Job knows that if he would have had it higher no one would have gone to buy it. I wonder how many people plan on buying this time around. I love my phone and you won't be disappointed when you buy yours! The phone is my contact folder, internet...

I was going through the MLS today trying to pull up property for someone. And by doing this I was noticing that almost everyone of the listings I was pulling up kept saying in the comment section- 55+ coomunities. Now when I was first licensed and when doing my board orientation one of the main things that was stressed was not to use this term. There is a field now that allows us to choose to HOPA- Housing Older Persons Act. Yet time and time again I still see agents use the term 55+. Why would you want to jepardize the possiblilty of getting fined? I know I wouldn't. And why does the MLS allow this to continue? I guess that is why no one is worried about being fined! Just me ranting away is all.

If you are interested in helping with a buyers seminar send me an email and I will explain what I am looking to do. Don't want to go into to much here, so I will explain in detail after you email me. Thanks for your coraporation!

  So you're starting to hear more About Short Sales as a possible way to avoid foreclosure. But you're asking what is it and how do you qualify?  Good questions.  First let's look at "What is a Short Sale?" You may have heard this before but lets not assume that everybody looking in here knows the answer. We'll get into more detail shortly.       A Short Sale is when you receive approval from your Lender (Bank) that they will agree to allow a Buyer to purchase your home for less than what is owed on your home(mortgage balance). For example, You owe $300,000 on your home and you have a buyer who has offered to pay $225,000. Your Lender will agree to accept the $225,000. This approval is based on a number of factors that will be addressed in another Chapter. You've received approval now f...

Now I don't think I have every shared this with every one. I know some of you know. But I am going to share something about myself. You see I have what you call Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have had it for several years. I have had my ups and downs with it. I was first diagnosed in 2000. Having real bad bone pain and swelling of my joints. So bad that when I would wake up in the morning I could barely move. My husband would have to carry me to the restroom. Now I'm not looking for sympathy here. What I am trying to get at. After I had my last son, I started to fall apart. I mean REALLY bad. I would wake up crying in pain. My hands were two times the size. I kept going to the Doctor and he kept increasing the medicines I was on. After about three months on a certain medicine he would change i...

OK now that I week 2 challenge was down and over with I was so excitied that I won that round. Now woth every listing call that I get I am now sending my Pre- Lisitng Package. I just met with a seller today who I spoke with earlier in the week to set up an appointment. I went ahead and emailed her the package, the mls stats and the power point presentation. She met me at my office. Can I tell you how much easier this appointment went! All we needed to discuss was the numbers. She already knew what my plans were, What she had to compete with, and how I had planned on marketing her property. She signed the papers and we made another appointment to go to the house to take the pictures and get it ready for the MLS. Now I hope that all the rest of my appointments go that way as well. Do you ...

So hurricane season is here. Are you prepared? I'm sure you are not. Yes I know the last 2 years we have escaped any type of storm, and I thank God everyday for it. But what happens if a storm is approaching. Do you have the necessary items to weather the storm out. Over the next few days I will be posting tips to prepare anyone and everyone so that you are ready for it. Pre- Season Preparation Know all evacuation routes if you live near the coast line.- Cat 1 storms east of Federal Hwy is an evacuation zone. Cat 2 storms east of I95 is an evacuation zone. So make sure you pay closer attention. You will be effected first. Make sure your home meets building codes for withstanding hurricanes                     Windows- Inspect windows to make sure they are in working conditions         ...

Yesterday Kristi Ross wrote a post on RealSeekr.com.  So I went to take a look as was very happy with the site so I joined. I had noticed on her post that my board was not listed in the group. So I had asked to Gia's number. What she had did was forward her my question and would get back to me. I recieved a DM from Twitter. Which surprised me because you can only get a DM from someone you are following. In the message was a number from Gia. Well I gave her a call and we started to talk I then realized who I was speaking with. I had been following Gia on Twitter for a couple of weeks and tweeted back and forth not realizing she had this site. So we talked about the board issue and she got to work. She gave me a call this morning with different ideas of how we could solve this issue. I go...

OK I know lots of you are looking to find out what Midori and I came up with. She posted yesterday some of what we did. I was going to yesterday, but I was fried and needed to relax! What a week.Like I said the other day, when we got this challenge I knew it was going to be hard for me since I had no listing presentation. I pretty much would wing it. I was only using a CMA from the MLS as one, and no idea about using a pre-listing. I have a listing appointment coming up and you know I am definetly going to send this presentation to him.The email I sent Rich was both a combination of video and texted. Since I have never met Rich I wanted him to be able to put the face with the name. Making it a little more personalable. Here is the email I sent. I wanted to be aware of how many homes we...
