ANOTHER BIG NUMBER- AN ASKING PRICE THAT IS TOO HIGH!

November 26, 2013 by hblankfeld Leave a Comment

My background prior to my 25 year real estate career was in the field of education.  I was always going to be a teacher and got my degree in French from the University of Nevada, Reno.  When I got into real estate in 1986, I was told teachers were generally successful in this field and it made sense to me.  Buying or selling a house is an educational process.  The terminology and the processes are Continue Reading

I checked on the sales prices in his neighborhood and Continue Reading

Wait…I have equity in my home?

November 6, 2013 by hblankfeld Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago, our in house lender and I were chatting about the market and he asked me, "Do you have 20% equity in your house"? "If you do, you might be able to do a refinance and move your loan to conventional". It never crossed my mind that we might have equity in our home until he said that. I asked Harvey to run the comps for me and when he did, the numbers showed that we just might! We Continue Reading
