Even though we keep hearing that things are slow, and it is a Buyers Market, some of my Borrowers are still running into Multiple Offers.  Over the last two months my Borrowers have run into 5 Multiple Offer situations.  Unfortunately for one of them, they were involved in 3 of those situations,...

We are less than a month away for Election Day, and I hope everyone gets out and votes, but it is also a good time to share some of our favorite political jokes.  I hope you enjoy this one.  I like it because those of us in sales know that sometimes what you see isn’t what you get. While walking ...

I don’t know if things like this are common but I just had my first experience with the sale of a house that I found highly questionable. I recently did a loan for Borrowers that had a very unpleasant experience when thy went through their final walk through.  When they first looked at the house...
