 Joe Kendall Realtor with Sandals Realty writes, Cape Coral Bank Short Sale's home Cape Coral Florida Bank Short Sales. Here is some suggestions on just a few questions your Realtor should ask the listing agent? Before you go making an offer on a Bank Short Sale listed property. How behind are the sellers on the mortgage? Most banks on an average will not be  to serious in offers unless the seller is minimum 4 months behind in their mortgage. You would be surprised the amount of listed property out there is listed as a short sale and the seller is staying current on their mortgage. What motivation would the bank have, if the seller is keeping up with the payments? Has the bank agreed to do a short sale, based the required documents required from the seller? Has the seller meet all the r... 02/23/2008

Lessons We Learn From GeeseAuthor UnknownNext fall when you see geese heading south for the winter... flying along in V formation...you might consider what science has discovered as to why they fly that way:Fact 1: As each goose flaps its wings it creates an "uplift" for the birds that follow. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew alone. Lesson: People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are traveling on the thrust of one another.Fact 2: When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. It quickly moves back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front of it. Lesso... 02/04/2008
