There were a couple of posts on Active|Rain today that reminded me of a situation I encountered a couple of years ago.  It was a short sale/foreclosure.  Let me summarize the posts that made me think about this…

… the August Market Report (covering July preliminary numbers and June final numbers) is up as well.

I will probably modify it a little more, but the main things are in place.  FMLS doesn’t get numbers out until a few days into the months, but they are out and so I have had a chance to [...]

I have a friend in PA that is a mortgage broker.  He also views the world from a unique perspective.  And that unique perspective makes seems to push him to talk straight… or at least think straight while writing with more curves than Marilyn Monroe.

Think “Beatnik meets GenX” or “Jack Kerouac as a mortgage broker”.  [...]

A lot of (would-be)sellers are asking that question right now.  Should they sell their homes to buy another that better suits their needs… or hang tight and make changes to their current home.

I understand. I really understand.  As the father of a four year old and a 4 month old… I understand.  As the husband [...]

I’m not actually a beer drinker, but my best friend has a passion for micro-brews.  Being a good friend, as I traveled around the country, I often picked up brews for him.  He liked them more than a trinket, and there was always a cold Coke at his house for me whenever we were wrenching [...]

It has been quite a while since I wrote about Buyer’s Agency… or having a Buyer/Broker Agreement (BBA) with the agent that helps you find a home.  So, it’s time…
