If you are thinking of buying a foreclosure in Pensacola, Florida be sure to start or finish at www.charlesstallions.comwhere you will find all the latest information, news and reports. I have been selling to investors only for the last fourteen years and although investors have not gotten completely back into the market it is a good thing for individuals wanting a good buy. Especially for first time home buyers because unlike foreclosures in the past a lot of the ones today have been well maintained and in really good condition.  When the investors do jump back in, it will be too late because the prices will begin to rise considerably. As investor myself and Realtor I recommend buyers have a home inspection as well purchase a homewarranty. Don't get caught with your pants down trying t... 02/28/2009

If any A/R folks are going to Tallahassee for Legislation days maybe we all get get together. The board usually has a big cookout and I would expect this one to be no different. If your interested give a shout out and lets rock Tallahassee. There is several agenda items coming up over the next couple of years that agents need to be aware of. Also there is a meet and greet before and after hours. 02/27/2009

  I have ever had to write. At our initial meeting I told you that I felt that we would do more in the first thirty day than most will do the whole time they had your property listed. We have had an auction, two open houses, a brokers luncheon, ran an ad in the newspaper, magazine, army times, have placed your home all over the internet including all the major sites and even blogged about it several times. As I told you at our initial interview we are in the business of selling homes not listing them. We have had 12 people view your home, an offer at a little below the recommended price that I showed you at that initial meeting and although I was willing to take it at your price as I said for ninety days and if it hadn't sold it would be time for a change. Well it is time for one of two... 02/27/2009

Every year it seems I attend more and more functions, Christmas parties, New Year bashes and recently the Governors economic summit and it always seems that when people find out I'm a Realtor it leads to (as my wife says a whole night of) talking Real Estate. We recently sat at a table for eight and each person had a real estate question. Most want to know when their home price will head up or at least stop going down. I usually attend something of this nature every week and I come away with a deal a month because of it. But I have found most just want advice because it's free. I remember once asking an attorney a question at one of these and he did spend a half hour or so answering but he also sent me a bill. After I called him to see if he was for real, he did let me slide but I think... 02/27/2009

One will become President the other will be history. This two governors, one (Bobby Jindel) decided he would not take any of the stimulus money and the other Charlie Crist) although at first he was against it decided since a senate would be coming open that it was in his best interest to change or at least appear to change sides. Both have hung their careers on the stimulus package because should it fail, one would be betting that Jindal will ride it all the way to the white house and Crist will not be able to get voted in as dog catcher. However if it works, the opposite will be true. In two years we will know because if Crist is put on the street or Jindal is reelected than that means the public will be moving away from Obama. If Jindal is put on the street and Crist gets in the senat... 02/24/2009

I was reading a book today on economics this morning and found some of it to be pure stupidity, such as, Did you know that the government has coolers around the country full of cheese, Why? it is a way to subsidize the milk industry. Some goes to people on welfare ( back in the day we called it commodity cheese) don't ask me why. Every year the dispose of the cheese by dumping in the ocean. Why don't the give it away or to a third world country (great question) because it would lower the price on milk products thus defeating the purpose of subsidies. Did you knowthat the government pays farmers billions of dollars every year to not plant. No that's right, to not plant. Why? because if all the farm land was truly farmed there would be too much grain on the market which would make prices ... 02/20/2009

This was the headline today then the story line was.... Florida announced today that they will need 3.5 billion from the state coffers and expect 10 billion from the stimulus bill in order to hire 280,000 full time state employees to work throughout the state. The next question in my mind was what will these employees be doing, finding a cure for cancer NO, extra law enforcement agents to enforce our laws to get all the illegal the hell out of here and back to California NO, I get it extra prison guards so the prisoners will quit escaping and killing people NO. No here it is in the last paragragh if you took the time to get over the excitement to read that far. Do to the economics woes of the state the demand for Food Stamps is at a record high and the state needs the extra employees in... 02/20/2009

It would be simpler to say what I am not passionate about!  Is there really anything I am lukewarm on? Suffice to say very little! My passions would have to at least include Gardening, Interior Design (Interior Redo!), Cooking, Wine, Art, Real Estate, Faith, Family, My Husband ... And those who know me well understand that was stream of consciousness not order of importance                                                           .  There is also another one: Friends? Yes Friends! Probably the most successful I have been in all my endeavors would be the relationships I have managed to preserve. Truly the gems in my life would be those wonderful women I have collected and proudly call friends.   There are many categories these treasures fit into. Some are over 30 years enduring, some ar... 02/17/2009

Broker Bud and I were talking about an agent in my office that is part time, doesn't want any floor, no open houses and no going out riding around with buyers from place to place on his gas. I ask Broker Bud what to do? Here was his niche design, Lots yep lots and lots of lots. So John and I mailed out letters to almost every owner of a vacant lot in the county. We included a one page listing agreement that in short order said that the listing was for one year, we would present any offer and if we found a buyer we would be paid a commission of 15%. No marketing plan, no promises of any type other than a sign, MLS listing and their price. If they and I accepted the terms we had a deal. In the first month we had 15 listings 3 of which were obviously priced right, as they sold. The second ... 02/14/2009

Recently the Pensacola Association of Realtors Hosted their yearly economic summit recapping 2008 and forecasting trends into 2009. The summit was led by three local industry experts; John Priller a local appraiser, Al Muller a representative of Metro Market Trends and Dr. Rick Harper a University Professor and the head of the Haas Center for Business Research and Economic Development. John Priller opened the summit with a quick overview of current market conditions.  He first mentioned that local appraisers in the greater Pensacola area have recently been forced to adhere to increasingly restrictive HUD guidelines regarding the required number of comparable listings as well as the elidgeability of the listings to be used as comparables.  Restrictions dealt not only with time period of ... 02/02/2009

  Stressed, short of time, tired, feel like your on a treadmill and can't get off.  Here are a few of the ways I conquer stress myself and it can help you too.   1. Access your finances, we all know or heard of someone that was working beyond belief and people thought he was the money man as his Mercedes was repossess from the parking lot. You can have the trophies and the corner office but as a top producer I want the net (as in what I take home).  2. Stop filling your life with more STUFF - When I purchase anything, whether a car (drives my wife nuts needless to say the car salesman) a computer or pretty much anything over $50. I make myself wait one week to the day ad if I still want I get but 90% of the time I am over it. 3. Pay your self first -I have set my salary and regardless o... 02/01/2009

With 1 out 4 homes on the market either being a short sale or foreclosure there are some things you may need to know. At Charles Stallions Real Estate Services Inc. we are here to help. All agents are board certified, spent countless hours in the field selling foreclosures and short sales not just class rooms thinking about. When you put you name on a contract to buy a foreclosed property, you better know more than just how to write. Such as How does a foreclosure sale work? Can a former seller take back the property and under what conditions? Do I need or even want a home inspection since the bank is not warranting anything? Are their leins against the property and am I protected against future claims? What makes this foreclosure sale different than my brother in laws or any other in l... 01/31/2009
