Online Real Estate Schools
I am so glad that there are online Real Estate schools. I just finished my first Real Estate course and it was a lot easier for me to work online than attend an actual classroom. Academics have never been my strong suite, but working online is second nature for me …
Becoming A Real Estate Agent

Becoming a Real Estate agent is not that hard, it just takes a little time, money and studying. With the perception that …
Economy forces divorcing couples to live together
From the Associated Press, December 4, 2008 Running into your ex is almost always awkward and stressful. David Snyder and Nancy Partridge deal with it nearly every day. The D enver couple divorced after six years of marriage but have been forced to live together for months because they can't sell their place or afford to set up separate households in this slumping economy. Snyder gets the master bedroom, while Partridge gets a smaller one. Snyder watches TV at one end of the house, Partrid
No Place to Go But UP
The Big Kahuna Top Dog at my company came to speak on Tuesday. He is always insightful and interesting, but in this housing market I was especially interested in hearing his thoughts. First, housing buys are absolutely the best they've every been. In 1981 when he opened the company, interest rates were 16-17 percent. Right now we have a lot of inventory and low rates. One agent said she received a quote on Monday for 5 percent. Today's news is all about the Treasury intervening with a pl

Your U.S. Passport: A Terrorist Beacon
There’s no longer any doubt that if you use a U.S. passport to travel internationally, you may well become a terrorist target. The attacks last week in Mumbai, India’s commercial capital, proved that conclusively. The gunmen who carried out the attacks took dozens of hostages, and specifically singled out anyone with a U.S. or British passport. At least two Americans died in the attacks. At Mumbai’s landmark Taj Hotel, two heavily armed men took 15 people hostage, forcing them to the hote
Experience a Florida Golf Vacation
While Florida’s tourism industry stemmed from its breathtaking beaches and world-renowned theme parks, it has established itself as a first-class golf destination. Although there are top golf courses to be found throughout the state, the areas of Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Miami are making the largest impact on the state’s golf industry. *Tampa Bay Area* The Tampa Bay Area is the fastest growing golf region in the state although it has not quite established itself among the “greats” yet.
Fed BB: Co-ops/Condos Down 15-20% Since Mid Summer
A: Quite interesting to see this right after a discussion on how illiquid this market is right now.

A Crisis of Solvency and Liquidity
Chong was running a electrical store business. Business was very good in the beginning and in the next 3 years, he was able to expand his electrical store into a 2 more outlets. One day, he discovered a ‘method’ that could drive up sales even more. An electrical factory owner from China, Ah Chin, suggested that they could make a killing together by selling bootleg electrical appliances. They will still use the same branded logos on their products, but the actual goods would be those manufacture

“chose a real estate agent, Jack LeVine, who had long championed the area”
The article is about Megan and the “Dean Martin’s Cousin’s house” and the new wave of residents moving back to the urban core. I picked out my favorite quote for the headline of this post. I’d put a smiley face in, but I swore I’d never do that on VVV. It’s a fun read and a fun video. Enjoy A HIP HOMAGE TO HISTORY by Brian Eckhouse in the Las Vegas Sun, Sunday 12/30/08 There’s an accompanying video that was made at the same time by Justin Bowen, and can be seen right next to the article. I’m
Inspection Contingency - according to the AZ Association of Realtors
During the Phoenix AZ real estate boom of 2001-2005 that saw greater Phoenix AZ real estate prices soar more than 100% in most areas, buyers took advantage of the AZ Association of Realtors purchase contract that is designed to be fair, but buyer friendly. The reality of the contracts is that you can make an offer and if accepted in writing you have a legally binding contract. In fact, you do not even need to deposit earnest money. The promise to deposit earnest money with an escrow company or

Collecting Good Articles on Reducing Price
I don't care how good a real estate agent one is, we all run into sellers that just won't listen to us about price. I can sit there with factual information, thinking I'm getting through, only to be told that they want to list at $25,000 or mor...
Nicholas D. Kristof: Terrorism That’s Personal
Jump to Comments Terrorism in this part of the world usually means bombs exploding or hotels burning, as the latest horrific scenes from Mumbai attest. Yet alongside the brutal public terrorism that fills the television screens, there is an equally cruel form of terrorism that gets almost no attention and thrives as a result: flinging acid on a woman’s face to leave her hideously deformed. Here in Pakistan, I’ve been investigating such acid attacks, which are commonly used to terrorize and subju
Size matters?
photo credit: collisionality Transparency is not just a buzz word anymore but something expected, even demanded, by the consumer. The consumer wants information, lots of it, and they want honesty and full-disclosure in its delivery. And when I am representing a seller, it is my job to give it to them. I wrote this last January in response to the Zillow’s release of added features to their site. I said then that they are doing it right, and I still believe they are, at least in one importa

Community Activist Helps Squatters Infest Other People’s Houses
Being a community activist is the perfect job for moonbats. With the media behind you, you get can all the way to the White House. Even if you don’t, you can have lots of fun helping to dismantle civilization — like this guy: MIAMI — Max Rameau delivers his sales pitch like a pro. “All tile floor!” he says during a recent showing. “And the living room, wow! It has great blinds.” But in nearly every other respect, he is unlike any real estate agent you’ve ever met. He is unshaven, drives a be
How's the Market?
My friend Noah at UrbanDigs wrote an excellent piece today on the Buyer/Seller Disconnect (a MUST read for both buyers and sellers in today's market!) and I couldn't resist sharing my 2 cents. So after a lengthy comment on his blog post, I decided to make that comment a post of my own here on TG. So here it is: Having lived through and more importantly brokered through the painful market in the early 90's where homes took 2 or more years to sell and sellers were discouraged from given exclus
How to find foreclosed homes
If you have the capital to make a home purchase or can get a mortgage loan you might want to consider buying a foreclosed home. Chances are you’ll have plenty of luck finding a home in foreclosure as there are about 8 million homes with negative equity and millions of home owners owe more on their house than what the house is actually worth. First, all you might need to do is walk around your neighborhood, especially if you live in Atlanta, Miami, or Las Vegas, as these cities have the highes
