Several years ago, someone from the Albertville, Minnesota area called and told me that they had enlisted the assistance of one of the advertisers on television to get foreclosure assistance. (I cringed, sorry.) Well, $4,000 later, money they could not afford to spend or they would have made the payments on their home, they were facing a sheriff's sale. We might have been able to save the home from foreclosure with a short sale.  But, that money was long gone.  I cannot say that the people advertising on television that they could assist homeowners were con artists.  But, I will say that other than cashing the check, they did very little to assist the homeowners who were desperate to keep their kids in this school district and to continue in their community and church.  When you or some...

Ron Marshall and Teri Bergstrom asked me to reblog this because there was little response from their posts.  And, I am very pleased to be able to do what I can to help out:  Here is Teri's post.   I came across this post from Ron Marshall: "Ride For Life" in memory of Chad Smith Ron's  good friend, Chad Smith, passes on from Hodgkin's  Lymphoma in 2009. Fund raising for Chad's benefit, through a "Ride For Life", helped Chad and his family deal with the costs of treatment. Chad requested that the fund raising continue to benefit a family dealing with the cost/burden of treating cancer.  Nine year old Maddie, and her family are this year recipients of this year's "Ride For Life". Knowing too well the difficulties that many of us are facing in "tough times", I am asking IF you'd consider a...

Well, the Friendly City Days in Albertville Minnesota are in full swing.  The City-Wide Garage Sale started yesterday.  And, it seems to be a great event since most of my neighbors have scored something they wanted!  The carnival started today.  Tomorrow night the St. Michael-Albertville Hockey Club is hosting a pork chop dinner starting at 4 PM in Central Park.  Friday is also the day of the Fireworks starting at dusk and Section 30 sponsored by Lake Community Bank is playing in the park  from 8:30 to 1:00 AM! Saturday, of course, is the last day of the Garage Sales, and the businesses also have a lot of sales going on....The carnival continues and there is a spaghetti dinner at St. Albert's parish starting at 4:30.  And you can meet the new candidates for the royalty there.  There is ...

Albertville Minnesota's own Acting out Studio presents show choir! Boys and girls from 4th through 12th grade are presenting "A Night on Broadway"  show choir performance.  If you are in the St Michael Albertville area check out the talented Boys and girls on March 4th and 5th 2011 in the STMA Middle School West Auditorium.  Tickets are a bargain at on $8.00 each, 1/10th what it would cost on Broadway. But in Albertville they put on a great show at a fair price.

If you haven't strolled through an antique store lately, perhaps you should.  Everyone these days seems to be longing for the "old days".  Here is where you can truly see the artifacts and memories from those days.  I took a trip down memory lane recently and saw toys from my childhood, comic books, fun funny hats, books I remember from my when?  Each booth had something for my mind to mull over...I remember that!  I wish I still had that!  My mom had one of those!  I remember my Dad using that!  It was so much fun!                                        My day went by so fast, while I spent so much time in the past..when we all think time passed much more slowly.  Isn't that ironic?  So much to remember...so much to cherish.  It was more fun to pass the time remembering only the best o...

Today, I learned that a good friend and colleague had passed away. This friend was a Soul, waiting to be explored more fully.  The friend, though he knew he was extremely ill, left behind, a fairly new puppy.  He had hope that tomorrow would bring a brighter day.  And, he still had love to give, and though he had lost most of his friends, his wife, and a fair amount of others to this insidious disease, refused to let his life be diminished by love.  The puppy will remain in the family until after all the possessions have been dispersed, and then I believe she will come to me...I don't care one way or the other, I just want her to have the love and care that I know he would have given her.  And, I know that, in the grand scheme of things, she will find her way to my door.

I have been reading a number of blog posts and some other real estate material.  The "market gurus" are saying that once the home buyer credit goes away on November 30th, that's it.  End of story.  Spring market might garner some attention.  But, most people think spring market starts in April. Au contrere.  Spring market generally starts during the weekend that is a bye prior to Super Bowl...January.  That said, how many sellers will pull their properties off the market during the holidays?  Quite a few.  Does that mean that buyers won't buy?  Some must.  Some will want to.  With fewer properties on the market, that would imply that your home might get more showings.  More showings equals the greater propensity for a purchase agreement.  The rarer the hen's teeth, the more valuable! Yo...

Halfway between St. Cloud and the Twin Cities lies this quiet little town with a huge presence in the retail world.  We have one of the best outlet malls in the state.  I might argue the BEST!  Check out the retailers who have come to this "little town",  Active Sports Board Shop, Adidas, Aeropostale, Alfred Dunner, Anne Taylor Factory Shop, Calvin Klein, Banana Republic (one of my faves), Converse, Gap Outlet, Columbia Sportswear, Eddie Bauer, Guess, Bass, Chico's, Polo Ralph Lauren, Old Navy, Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, Jones New York,  Van Heusen, Nautica, Liz Clairborne, and dozens of others!  What more could a shopper want?  And, if you could live within minutes of these terrific stores, wouldn't that be the best?  You can!  Call me, I can give you directions I can tell you about the gre...

There will be no more resting in my life.  Between all the social networking sites, my fingers will be the only part of my body to be exercised from here on out.  But, it had to be done.  No one else can promote me the way I can.  So, let the games begin.  I know that it will open up another venue but, am I really up to it?  Well, see.  My perfectionist tells me that if I fail to keep up with it all, she'll make me pay.  But, it only takes a few Tweets a day, right?  Now, I have to go back to all those Bookmarked blogs and read the instruction manuals.  I'll be following you.....

Yesterday, I wrote a short comment on one of my associates blogs about a problem I was experiencing with one of my buyers acquiring a property.  A short while later, Larry Beitag sent me an email offering to help.  Now, Larry does business in Illinois, and we are in Minnesota.  However, through his knowledge and referral base, he put me in touch with someone here in Minnesota that can help us with an FHA deal.  Let me tell you, my buyers were impressed that I could get this all accomplished in a few short hours from a contact in New Jersey, to one in Illinois to finding the right lender here in Minnesota.  I want to thank Larry and Brad for all their expertise and expediency in helping my buyers.  It was amazing!!!!

2008 may well be remembered as the year of the foreclosure.  There is a rumor that 1st graders now know how to spell foreclosure before they can spell thier own name.  Wright County, Mn had it's share of foreclosures as well.  A large majority of these were new construction that were never lived in.  There is some good news as well!  The fourth quarter of 2008 saw fewer newly listed lender mediated properties.  That is the first quarter to quarter decrease since 2003.  I am not calling it a trend yet, but I am very optimistic.  2008 Lender Mediated Homes Sold in Wright County (foreclosure & short sale) City               Total homes sold          Lender-mediated          % Lender Mediated Annandale               64                               20                                 31.3% B...
