ABC (Always be Changing) Do you agree with this? As a Realtor in the business for 5 years now I have already seen changes. I see agents who have been in the business for a while struggle because they are still doing the same things after 20 years in the business. Always Be Changing When I started I got very lucky and I had a basic website but I did have one. I got my first buyer within a week of having my website up and running.  My website can go on automatic mode when I go on vacation or have a family emergency but it seems important to me that a website should be current and fresh. My content changes frequently. Of course there is the same old stuff but every time I read a book about Real Estate or get an idea from Active Rain I go make a change.  Do you change your website often or ... 06/08/2010

When it comes to buying a home, many of us are torn when it comes to bank owned properties.  When you hear "bank owned", you either think you're going to get a great deal or it's a foreclosure and it's probably a dump.  So, when you stop to consider whether or not you should purchase a bank owned home, it is important to know that they have typically been repossessed by the lender.  But, the good news is that not all repossessed homes are dumps.  Many of them are in great shape and the bank would much rather liquidate the home and get some cash back in their hands.  That's where you have the opportunity to save a good deal of money.  Many bank owned properties can be an excellent buy.  When you purchase one, you will usually be paying well below fair market value for the property.  Bank... 06/03/2010

Since Lake Havasu City, Arizona is such a big vacation destination, I have some tips and advice for water safety while you enjoy the lake in Lake Havasu.  Many people come here from all around for boating, jet skiing, swimming, sun bathing, partying, and more.  But, we can find ourselves associated with water danger if we're not careful.  The lake is where you will see plenty of dangerous situations if just four basic rules are not applied when swimming. The four basic rules for swimming in a lake: Learn to swim: Everyone should learn to swim at some point in their life.  If you don't know how to swim, you should wear a life jacket at all times while in or on the water.

As the real estate market makes its slow recovery, there are still alot of great opportunities for buyers in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.  As the market begins its upward turn, advantages for buyers are still stronger than they are for sellers right now.   There's been alot of action from buyers during this recovery process.  Many of those sales have come from foreclosures and short sales, which are holding prices down on traditional sales.  But, there are still several opportunities for buyers through traditional home sales.  The tax credit was certainly a big help to get buyers back to the market, even though it didn't take off with a big bang.  Low interest rates seem to be what buyers want the most right now anyway.  Those who got the tax credit before it ran out and a low interest ra... 05/06/2010
