Lanette in Bel Air

REO - Remove Every Option? I had to write about this one today.  Unless you've been living in a cave, you're well aware of the housing crisis in most parts of the country.  Here in lovely Bel Air, Maryland and surrounds, many of the houses currently on the market are foreclosures/bank-owned prope...

In April, I talked about the fact that Buyers seemed to be very prevalent in the market place.  They were no longer sitting on the fence and the deals they were getting were exceptional.   Well 2 months later, I'm still the town crier as I run around Bel Air, enthusiastically yelling ",The Buyers...

It's a beautiful day in the Neighborhood.   The Buyers are bountiful and the deals are beautiful.   What more can I say?   If you're looking to buy a house in beautiful Bel Air or surrounds, "Hello!" it's time. I'm a Real Estate Pro out there in the ranks negotiating fabulous deals for my Buyers ...

I guess I could devote an entire blog just to scams; it seems there's a new one (or ten...) popping up every day.  This latest one is a new one for me, though. I got a call on my cell phone from an 876 area code last night (Sunday) at around 10:30 PM. I received 2 more calls from the same number ...

As I draft my appeal response to the ridiculously overinflated "Market Value" the state of Maryland just assessed for my house, I felt compelled to let you know that the HOMESTEAD TAX CREDIT process has changed. This tax credit used to be automatic.  Now, the onus is upon the homeowner to fill ou...
