How many people, yourself included, have heard/said the oft repeated refrain "If I had only bought XYZ back in the day, I’d be rich now" or words to that effect? I don't know if I'd be rich but I do know I would have at least a 4-bagger if I had purchased Google stock back in 2004. I have a feel

This caution by Gene Mundt out of the Chicago area is a good one this time of year for anyone in the midst of a home purchase or re-finance. I highly recommend not only the article but the discipline needed by borrowers this time of year. You're out doing your holiday shoppi

I had an interesting conversation earlier this week with a past purchase client about average home prices. This is a typical conversation I, and many in the real estate industry have, on a regular basis as everyone wants to know what current market conditions are and their impact on people’s prop

I've always thought satire has an important role to play in helping to digest information that would otherwise be unpalatable or simply difficult to face or address. Perhaps that is why I enjoy Jon Stewart's approach to several issues facing our country by trying to illustrate the issues with hu

Leslie Ebersole in Illinois did a wonderful blog post regarding the background on the decision to have foreclosures halted in 23 states due to fraud admissions. Because Utah is a non-judicial foreclosure state, it is not one of the 23 states included in this "moratorium." However, this does not
