  HOW TO SPOT A GOOD BUY   By Amber Castonguay             Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, particularly when it comes to buying a home.  Features that attract one home-buyer may repel another.           However, the one feature of interest to every home-buyer is price.  Getting the most home for your money is paramount.  The real problem is figuring out whether that fixer-upper on one street is a better buy than the home in next-to-new condition two blocks away.  That’s why knowing what to look for before you buy can save you time, energy and money down the line.           The first step is figuring out what kind of house you need.  A good buy is only a good buy if it meets your current and future living requirements.  Before shopping for a home, decide how much space you and your... 02/26/2009

UNDERSTANDING REAL ESTATE TERMINOLOGY                Purchasing a home can be a complicated and confusing process, especially for first-time buyers.  Throughout the process, first-time home buyers will encounter a variety of unfamiliar real state terms. There are several key terms associates with purchasing real estate that are helpful to learn.               For example, many buyers confuse the terms broker and salesperson.  A broker is a properly licensed individual, or corporation, who serves as a special agent in the purchase and sale of real estate, a salesperson is an individual employed or associated by written agreement by the broker as an independent contractor.  The salesperson facilitates the purchase or sale of real estate.               Once you decide to purchase, a salesp... 01/15/2009

     If your sick of snow...and want warm weather NOW...  here it is...and they have margaritas to boot !!!  Ohhhh   Yahhhhhh  !!!     Its on the Sea of Cortez in Mexico.  The city's name is Puerto Pinasco..or to the residents of Arizona...Rocky Point.     About 3 years ago I had to check out a duplex for my Dad in Arizona City.  While staying there I decided to take a trip South of the border and wanted to be on the ocean.  Puerto Pinasco was the closest place, about a 3 hour trip by car......everyone seems to speak English because they want the tourist buck, the weather was great, and the food was excellent.   It was a total blast.  About 20 years ago this was a sleepy fishing village...the boats still go out daily  and the fresh shrimp you get at the restaurants are the best anywhere... 12/29/2008

Hi All,     I think I'm going to have to start a specific real estate blog for myself. I usually write about the Watertown area, but this time this "blogging" will be different. Its about business.    I have not done this before, but its the sort of thing that , despite the gloomy concerns of the economy, shows a glimmer of hope for our industry.  I had THREE CLOSINGS in TWO DAYS!  Yup,  In a radius of about 15 miles of Watertown, Three closings in two days.  Sure I'm proud of the accomplishment, but even more important to all from my area that service customers in real estate,  the market is not dead.  I try to be the best I can be in my market, but the fact remains that there is ALOT of talent out there.   We all have a shot at making a living if we keep our eyes on the prize.       M... 12/26/2008

Hi All,     Seems like everybody has been pointing out that my tummy seems to be getting bigger.  I have no excuse..I love to eat and drink at good places.    Some of my favorites are: for breakfast, Franks Corner Cafe right on Main Street.  I seem to get half of my listings for my real estate business there.  Its the type of "social networking " I like best...good food and good conversation with friends.             For dinner, its Elias Inn.  It easy to find..just go one block North from Franks Corner Cafe on Main Street.  I dont think I ever got a lead for a listing or a sale there, but who cares.  The great steaks make up for it!      Finally for a nice place to relax, and or, let a cool brew slip down the old pipe  ( gotta keep the ol voice box lubed at all times )  its a salesman'... 12/26/2008

      Never underestimate the optimistic people that live in Watertown.  whether is living, working, or enjoying this "can do" attitude is visible with just about everyone you meet in Watertown.  Watertown is famous for many reasons.  One for example , it is the home of the first kindergarten in the United States.  Another great example is that Watertown was the source for producing cream city bricks for building.  There are so many things to see and do in this charming community and it could not possible to do in one day.  My friend Tom Braatz from Re/Max recently did a post and profile on the city of Watertown. I would be honored to show you my town. Sincerely Steve Voss Re/Max Realty Center 1-920-342-0900  stevevoss@remax.com www.stevevoss.remax.net www.activerain.trainstar1 12/20/2008

Hi All,    Here are the pics I promised of our Humongous Snow.  It can be taken two ways...either its beautiful, or its one huge pain in the...snow shovel.  Anywho,  I think they turned out cool.  I have one pic of my work car that has the Re/Max balloon sticker on it, my pic, and tel work nos., and other Re/Max logos etc.  It is buried somewhere under all that white stuff.  Have fun looking.       Sincerely,  Steve Voss Remax Realty Center stevevoss@remax.net  www.stevevoss.remax.com  www.activerain.com/trainstar1  920-342-0900              12/20/2008
