If I choose Bankruptcy, does that mean I should not consider a Short Sale ?
IF I CHOOSE BANKRUPTCY, DOES THAT MEAN I SHOULDN'T CONSIDER A SHORT SALE? While I believe this a question for someone's attorney, I believe that the answer is very often going to be yes. I have lately been listing homes for clients that have come out of bankruptcy and decided to sell their homes through a short sale.

Fanfare of our Republic
FANFARE OF OUR REPUBLIC I just finished watching the final matches of the most celebrated bi-annual golf event, the Ryder Cup. This event pits the best of American golfers against their counterparts in Europe. It is strange that golf isn't looked at as a team sport. However, there are exceptions in the amateur golf arena with college teams competing where individuals are less important than the Continue Reading
October Market Conditions
OCTOBER MARKET CONDITIONS Inventory is increasing due to a growing number of REO's (Foreclosures) in our market. Activity has fallen off since the tax credit has expired.

Ramblings on Labor Day
Ramblings on Labor Day I am writing this month’s newsletter on Labor Day.

OLD FASHIONED REAL ESTATE SALES I am between visitors at an open house. I am reminded that Real Estate is still a service industry. As Realtors we must remember that just because it's a short sale or an REO doesn't mean we should give any less service.

HAFA “Guidelines”
HAFA "GUIDELINES" Please remember that HAFA is a comprensive set of "Guidelines". It is not law. The guidelines are not intended to be a one size fits all either. Each servicer (bank, lender) is currently employing their own version of HAFA. Some have not implemented their own guidlines yet and some are well down the road already. The important facts to remember as a homeowner are that HAFA: Continue Reading

The American Spirit
THE AMERICAN SPIRIT I think I am still on high since last month’s celebration of our Country’s independence. This may seem a little juvenile to many, but since childhood I have looked forward to this day. It may be the anticipation and exhilaration of the fireworks spectacles that first caught my interest. I can remember vividly our empty lot adjacent to our house was prepared each year and used Continue Reading
