Put a bid on a condo in the bald eagle commons in west milford, nj.  When the HOA filled out their form they said nothing on the litigations going on - when the title was pulled it showed litigations going on for over a year.  I have waisted over 2 months trying to get a mortgage for the condo - ...

I have decided to give up real estate and go on to a more 9-5 job.  Once this one deal is done, I will hang my license and go into referral.  I just don't think this is for me.  I can't deal with some of these buyers, along with the price of gas, and no paycheck for months, this is definately not...

Going threw buying a condo, I have gone threw alot to get a mortgage commitment.  Finally, after 1 1/2 months I believe I will soon be closing.  From what I am told the process is waiting for the loan to clear and then will contact my attorney for a closing date - exactly what does "waiting for t...

I have to say that this has been one of the worst experiences in my life.  I am waiting for a mortgage approval and I have to say its not for alot - it not only has taken forever but I have had to follow up for almost 2 weeks myself.  Not only do I have a deadline no one is ever around - either t...

It might be a buyer's market but it certainly is horrible trying to get a mortgage.  Even with 20% down, lenders not only want all your financials (which of course is not bad and I know they need that stuff) but when it goes down to the underwriters they call and want everything  again but the cu...

OK - maybe I talked about this before but here are my pet peeves which I am sure some people can relate to:   No pictures on listings, no phone calls back but you have to call before you preview a house, pictures to dark or sideways (do you not look at them before you put them on the mls?) - do r...

OK I'm over stress - realized that maybe this isn't for me.  I think when people go for their real estate license, instructors should tell people maybe one year you will start getting business.  But what do you do in the meantime?  If you are single = you will need to get a real paying job.  I ha...

OK - I don't expect miracles and I know I just started (well, I'm on my 4 month) but I'm not really sure this is for me.  No income and maybe one or two clients.  Its hard when your husband is retired and no other income is coming in.  I actually am looking at part times and sometimes full time j...

Well, I am in my new office - and very motivated - now I make calls - and with no problem.  I guess you really need to find the right office - no distractions - I go to work (because I cannot work from home) and get whatever I need done with a lot of help from my broker.  Now I need to make money...

So I changed real estate offices.  I made the decision early in my career before I got to settled in my first office.  I just felt like it wasn't the right fit for me - it was more like socializing.  I made the change and i know I have made the right decision.  I get more done, spend less time in...
