After several months of on-line house shopping, numerous if not hundreds of e-mails, several visits to Colorado, our out-of-state Buyer finally arrived this morning. Her son and her drove straight through from PA in their Jeep, with 3 dogs and just enough essentials to brush their teeth at the ga...

Seems that lately closing issues, settlement statements and such have been a bit inaccurate. I am not sure why, maybe I have been lucky up until now, maybe just not as observant. I pray it was luck. A few weeks ago my short sale was set to close on the 27th of August, a Friday. But the Buyer (I w...

I referred a sweet young couple to a fellow agent a few months back. She had a blast working with them and got them a cute little home for $75,000 (Hard to believe these days).  He was about 22 and his young bride 18. Money was tight but they wanted to buy their first home. With special financing...

  I AM FUMING MAD !! I am facing another VERY familiar situation that I hope does NOT get repeated. Currently I have a short sale that has been in contract since May 2010 with a fairly quick approval by the first mortgage. However, the second mortgage has not been so easy. The foreclosure date fo...

I would have to say, some blogs just need to be fun. Being strictly business on a business site all the time is so "lets say" routine. So why not shake things up a bit. This afternoon I am in the "personal" mood after a morning filled with "business". My business partner Gary was heading to beaut...

This blog is for those people, yes you STEVEN GRAHAM at Active Rain, who spent the better part of over an hour with me setting up my active rain outside blog. You wanted to make sure that I was fully functional (good try) and operational when I blog to the masses of potential readers, clients and...

Lead generation is such a questionable topic. I suppose if you are a well established agent who has 20 years under your belt and referrals being thrown at you from satisfied clients, it is completely unnecessary.  For the brand new agent who is working their friends' sphere of influence, and thei...

This is a tough blog to write but one I feel is absolutely necessary.  I realize there are those of you who might be offended. Its not my purpose.  But, my business partner and I experienced something so insulting by another real estate professional, it needs to be spoken about. While, names, dat...

What a funny thing blogging is. Personally, I neither have the skill nor the time to "write articles" about whatever comes to my mind for whomever to read. Well, that attitude is WRONG! I have not been on this site for several months because I didn't think my "stories" really interested anybody. ...

Easter, a time of celebration for the Christians. Spring break for the kids. Shopping sales and discounts for those with credit actually left on their credit cards. But to some, it is the time of new beginnings. A symbol of a resurrection of things that have passed on. With so much loss in our so...
