A national company name Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems or MERS is both the holder of record of many mortgages across the country and the major filer of foreclosure actions in most states. There have been several law suits involving MERS and many headlines claiming that they used robo-si...

There is a cute, if somewhat wasteful behavioural pattern that most new agents go through and some "experienced" agents never outgrow. I call it the Pop Tart Syndrome. Perhaps the best way to explain it is to use the Jeff Foxworthy approach - You know you're a Pop Tart when you get a floor call a...

The world of law often establishes guilt, settles disputes or establishes precedents by exploring and proving theories. There is a somewhat obscure and arcane branch of law called equity law.

I read a local newspaper article over the weekend that reported that March 2011 saw a spike in foreclosures in Oakland County, Michigan, as compared to February 2011 and against March2010.
