What does HVCC stand for, and what it is? Well, it stands for Home Valuation Code of Conduct.

In today's market, it's not so much a Tale of Two Cities, as it is a Tale of Two Loan Limits... or if you count FHA loans, make it Three. There are basically three loan sizes out there. Instead of Small, Medium and Xtra Large, we have FHA, Conventional, and Jumbo. FHA loans are those that are dir...

I'm going to assume anyone that's been out house hunting has seen an ad in realtor.com , trulia or zillow that goes something like this: "Home has lots of potential...just needs (here's the hook) a little TLC". Generally translated, that means the home is in varying stages of ugly. Until recently...

Don't look now, but the sky may have begun to stop falling. With so much very real, worrisome news out there, we sometimes loose perspective that the very beginnings of a recovery are starting to appear.
