I thought that getting gas before 7:00 am would be easy.  Apparently 30 other people thought the same thing.  They had police men out there directing traffic around the gas station.  All this with the school buses full in force.        I sat in amazement as people grew angry at other drivers.  There was nothing any one could do to make the process any faster.  So why yell...at 7:00 in the morning.  I had my friends daughter in the car with me and throughout the chaos of traffic, she said the most simple statement.  If everyone would be patient and wait their turn, this would go faster-then i can go to school.                                                                                                                                                          Do people really think yell... 09/24/2008

In this weekends local paper, even the local agents and mortgage brokers were giving the impression that the market has nearly ceased and will continue until maybe 6 months after the election.  It is true we have been and will continue facing the market correcting itself.  This does not mean there aren't any buyers, but simply more cautious than before.  With an abundance of sellers, it is truly a buyers market and they know it.  As a Realtor, it is not all doom and gloom, but more of a time for more personalized service. 09/15/2008

We have all been there or know someone who has.  The contract is signed, closing is set up and the lender calls.  Your clients score has changed since they were first qualified---why you ask?  Because they either didn't tell the lender the "whole truth" or they decided to go buy the new furniture for the new house.  Thus altering their credit score. Avoid this from happening to you and remind your buyer of the following while in the loan process. 1.  Do not quit or change your job. 2. Do not buy a new vehicle. 3. Do not spend any of the money you need for closing-you will have to show the lender that you have that money available. 4. Do not send in any late payments on your credit card-ALL PAYMENTS NEED TO BE ON TIME. 5. Tell the truth on your loan app.-the lender will find EVERYTHING. ... 09/09/2008
