Real Estate Agent Arrested for Cutting the Competition

March 21, 2009

Here is a story I caught across the news wire recently. A Fort Mills, South Carolina Real Estate Agent was caught on tape cutting up, and knocking down a competitors real estate signs. Evidently, he is the former boss of the victim according to the story. Now what really caught my attention about this was the type of signs this real estate agent was using, why is he using cardboard signs in front of houses?

FHA Update for Lewisville, Flower Mound and all of Denton County

What is the maximum FHA / Fannie Mae Mortgage amount for North Dallas? This is a question that gets asked of me, and searched for a lot I have noticed.

February 24, 2009

Now it is my tun to break down the $8000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit. I must admit, when the bill was being negotiated in the Senate, before moving forward to the House of Representatives I was following it very close, in attempt to report the results in a timely manner.

Home sellers will also have reason to rejoice if buyers who are sitting on the fence, or just need a little more incentive can be nudged along. But, alas, we still do not not know for sure what will be in this new package. When I do

Old-Time TV & Media Coverage of Real Estate

It amazing to a lot of us in the real industry but the national media may actually be on the same page as the rest of us. This story recently ran on NBC’s Today Show, The 5 Biggest Real Estate Myth’s. It addressed many of the misconceptions buyers and sellers may have on their mind with the current market conditions. Sellers are desperate Don’t buy before prices have bottomed You can’t buy a home unless you have 20% down Now’s the absolute
