Greater Reading Commercial and Investment Real Estate

I often get calls and emails about rent to own opportunities.  Today someone happened to ask me if I had a website that listed all of these homes, and unfortunately I had to say that I didn't.  I get this question a lot, so I thought that I should address it in my blog.  I do maintain 3 different...

More good news in the national media.  This article points out that rates have dipped again.  I hope these rates last, but if you are thinking of buying, this is probably a good time to pull the trigger. If you're thinking of buying a home in Cherry Hill or elsewhere in South Jersey, give me a ca...

I realize things still seem tough in our local housing market, but I'm glad to be able to pass along more good news.  This article is just one of many lately that's starting to make me think that the light at the end of the tunnel isn't just another train coming.

I realize that this article is about California and not Camden County, New Jersey, but I think that this is great news.  As the article states, California is often a good barometer for the nation's real estate market.  Hopefully we'll begin to see a rise in prices as well.

One short sale that I've had listed for a little longer than my average now is this 3 Bedroom 1.5 Bathroom home in Pennsauken.  It has been over two months, which isn't very long by most peoples' standards, but it has been a little bit of a disappointment for me.  As I've mentioned in the past, w...

A recent response to one of my posts was very troubling, and I wanted to address it in a new post.  Another agent had suggested setting up an LLC to hide certain fees he charged during a short sale from the foreclosing lender.  He also suggested that the buyers purchase the stove from the sellers...

As many of you already know, a lot of the buyers in the market today are investors.  This is especially true of short sale buyers.  This is because many regular buyers don't want to wait to move into a new home, or may just be scared from stories that they've heard about short sales.

One of the questions that I've heard over and over again from buyers is, "Why would I want to waste my time trying to buy a short sale when there are so many other homes on the market?"  This question often comes from buyers who have heard that these transactions can take 6 months to a year to co...
