When I last blogged I wrote about a gal that found a home and it was being sold as a short sell.  Finally our offer was accepted by both lenders.  The inspection went well now just waiting on the appraisal. Just got off the phone with a potential buyer and he informed me his current house is Sold...

I told my new secretary not to hit me  with any messages or ask me any questions when I walk thru the front door.  I need 15 minutes to myself and collect my thoughts.  This is one day I am glad that she hit me first thing with good news.  I had a buyer that I had worked with about 6 months ago a...

Well its that time of the month, investigate, seach for liens, go take pictures of houses that are on the list for sheriff's sales.  We've been able to purchase 3 in the last 2 years.  What I don't understand is why a mortgage company will buy back the house and then put it on the market for seve...

I didn't realize its been 10 weeks or so since I've been on Active Rain.  The IRS decided they needed to do an audit so I have been working from the conference room for awhile as well as the front desk.  I just returned to my office and I have missed not sitting at my desk. Let me say this about ...

About a month ago I went to my hairdresser.  Her shop is 45 minutes away and why I make the drive I don't know.  Anyway I get there and there is a couple of ladies in her shop finishing up.  Come to find out they only live 10 minutes away from me.  So I guess we all make the drive to this hairdre...

I received a phone this morning and it was quite distrubing.  He told me he pulled his listing from "XYZ" because he was not getting any feedback from his realtor.  He mentioned that she had not showed his house at all.  He informed me that other realtors were showing it but not his realtor. Some...

I recently received a certified letter from our town informing me that they are wanting to install a parking lot in front of their newly acquired building. No problem but wait, this is a historical building that sits right across the street from my office.  Oh and they already have 2 parking lots...

This is what my mom would say when she listed a home.  The first realtor would overprice the listing.  The 2nd realtor would reduce it somewhat and then finally a reality check.  The sellers would say we will reduce the price. I have been on a couple of listing appointments lately and honestly I ...

It's Monday morning here in central Indiana.  It's raining.    My day is starting off with a buyer that needs to go land contract, a buyer that is looking for a house under 100k, a buyer that cancelled on me Saturday but may want to look tonight.  Am I dreaming?  Is this 1983 all over again?  Let...

We did it!  We were the successful bidder!  He had to up his price substantially but he won out.  Now we are looking for the best rate, and to close by the end of April.  Keep your fingers crossed for me that all turns out well.
