There is an infomercial ( CALL NOW) with teleseminars  AND VIDEOS on how callers can set up ten businesses onthe internet and make tons of bucks online with websites. It is complete with spokesactresses on the commercial . It has a disclaimer it says a UNIQUE EXPERIENCE, Individual results willl vary. I discovered this when I turned on the tv late last night and it was running on WOR Channel 9 NYC channel.  The  reason I started watching is they had two actresses saying how they didn't understand how email works, and they didn't want to learn, they just wanted to send a message to a friend and press a button.

Madison New Jersey's Real Estate market continues it's slow pace of improvment.  The number of homes on the market continues to decline as well as the number of home closings each month continuing to increase. Those numbers seem to be a sign that home buyers are still willing to buy homes, and home sellers are understanding that it is the home buyer who ultimately decides what a home is worth.  Many home owners who put their homes on the market in the fall of 2006 at prices 15% or more above what the Madison Real Estate market would bare disappeared from the market in the spring as they realized that is was not any longer possible to get above market value for a home anymore.  For the most part what we have in the market now are home sellers who have a true reason to sell, and home buye... 08/14/2007

There is a un-justified fear out there of even looking at the Real Estate Market.  Potential home buyers keep looking at the national news with all the crazy reports from places far away.  I often feel that the National News and Local News for that matter should be required to run a constant disclaimer at the bottom of the screen which says: (Warning, Sensationalized News, May not be as serious as we make it out to be)So what is the news story concerning Real Estate here in Madison NJ?  We are in a buyers market, so any home sellers who over price their home are likely not going to be moving anytime soon.  Can home buyers get a very good deal on a home?  Yes home buyers can get very good deals on homes.  The deals are good enough that the home investors are back, because they know that ... 08/09/2007

This is a I am frustrated blog.  Some Real Estate Agent (Notice I am not calling them Realtors) Drive me up the wall.  They show my listings, but when called for feedback it goes to VM, OK fine, I leave a message, do I hear back? nope.  So a few days later I call again, same thing.  In my practice I try to answer as many calls as I can.  If I cannot answer the call, I will return the call ASAP usually within 30 minutes.  When it is other Realtors calling for feedback on showings I call them back the same day and if I do not get them, I leave feedback on their VM.  It is the most professional thing that you can do in my opinion.To all of you who are constantly too busy to answer your phone, especially in the current market, just think of how many possible buyers or sellers have called yo... 08/02/2007
