  I had an interesting conversation with with a residential mortgage lender yesterday regarding the new changes that went into effect on January 1, 2010. For regular readers of our real estate blog, I covered these changes a few months ago in an article about RESPA reform. His point is that while the changes appear to be based on good intentions, they might also be throwing mortgage underwriting and mortgage origination into chaos for the next few months. New methodologies are having to be created to process the new federal requirements. With this in mind, I felt a review of these regulatory changes regarding the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), Final Rule, which went into effect on January 1, 2010, was something that would assist our readers. Changes In RESPA As of this p...

If the space is relatively small with low ceilings you should consider going in another direction. Often times, small dark rooms feel claustrophobic. No amount of artificial light and texture can help a dark room if it's too small.

Although painting a room a dark color is not typical, there are many reasons why you might consider it. It can add drama and visual interest to any space. Before you paint your walls a dark color, make sure that you have other elements of your design that help support and balance the impact.

If you saw the new Tallahassee Home Inventory Report for January 2010, then you saw some some mixed news in the Tallahassee real estate market! The good news is that we saw a reduction of the glut of homes for sale in our area, but the bad news is that relative supply (the supply of homes on the market relative to the current rate of sales) rose from 12.5 months of supply to 13.0 months of supply. Fewer Homes For Sale In Tallahassee When we look at the inventory of homes on the market in Tallahassee, we see the total inventory dropping. The following real estate graph shows a clear compaction in the number of homes for sale in Tallahassee. Relative Supply Of Homes On The Rise The relative supply of homes rose last month, which was the first time the direction of this trend had changed. ...

UPDATE! Someone asked me yesterday which banks and loss mitigation companies I have completed a short sale with and I got to thinking... I don't have a list of them anywhere. I have compiled a list of lenders we have worked with and a list of them which we am currently working with. Let me know if you have any questions about how each specific lender works differently and have new sets of requirements and processes. We also have a tremendous amount of sucess with FHA & Va Short sales aslso known as PreForeclosure Sales (PFS) and Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternative (HAFA) short sale programs available to homeowners who qualify. Closed Short Sales Bank of America (yes it is possible!!!) Bank of America Legacy Chase Wells Fargo Citi ASC NationStar GreenTree Litton Loans Sentry Credit F...

Since we have entered a new year (and a new decade), it’s time to take a look at the state of the Tallahassee housing market as it stands right now. I think the mode for 2010 will be “Improvement” as many of our real estate trends are moving upwards. The key for 2010 is finding out whether the improvements that we saw at the end of 2009 were (as one reader put it) a “dead cat bounce,” or if in fact the recovery cycle has begun. 2010 will provide an answer to that question. So, what do our current real estate trend reports show … Home Sales Success Rates On The Rise One exciting trend is that our sales success trend (the total number of homes sold divided by the total number of homes listed, over the past 365 days) is rising! When we look at the real estate graph below, we see that the o...

As we frantically assemble our new Tallahassee Real Estate Web Site, one highly requested feature is finally coming together. Through all of the surveys that we conducted across many real estate web portals, a common theme arose. People wanted to know more about what was happening with foreclosures in Tallahassee, and specifically home buyers wanted information about the short sales available in Tallahassee. Tallahassee Short Sales Page Being Assembled The Tallahassee Short Sales Page is a work in progress, and I must warn you that it is no beauty. We are working on it and it will take several more days (and maybe even weeks) before it is fully assembled. Eventually, it will feature many more tools as well as the hottest short sales in Tallahassee. I would recommend you check this page...

Always begin with an evaluation of the general state of the total exterior paint job of your home. If there is significant chipping, flaking, or other areas where the paint is failing, it's probably time to paint the entire home. Talk to a painting contractor who has experience in painting a house about getting your paint job scheduled right away.

  Proper preparation, the right choice of paint, and proper application, are the only sure-fire ways to ensure that your new paint job will last for years to come.

  I first learned of a Japanese term “Kaizen” from Coach Jim Young at West Point, where I was a lowly offensive lineman for the Army Football Team. Coach Young explained Kaizen to us as the concept of continuous improvement. Jim Young taught that the way to move from a losing program to a winning program was to find improvement, in all areas, all of the time. It was no fluke that Coach Young made the College Football Hall of Fame. He taught us that you never are standing still, that the competition behind you is always chasing you, so you have to keep the target moving. Everybody is trying to catch up to where you are, so moving forward is the only way to stay on top. I try to instill a Kaizen approach to real estate brokerage with all of our CENTURY 21 First Realty agents and staff. We...

If the trim on your Tallahassee home is showing signs of water damage it’s most likely because it was not properly caulked, primed or painted. If water is getting behind the trim, it may be getting into other areas of your home and may be causing more serious problems. Have it checked sooner rather than later.

Real estate marketing has gone through many changes over the years. A great real estate broker has to know which sources are best so that his limited resources are not wasted.Today I will share with you a true success story on how the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog helped a Tallahassee homeowner sell their home in 30 days and buy a new one just north of Atlanta. The combination of internet marketing and active social networking resulted in a successful move that many others would envy.But to know why the use of the internet is so important, you should consider our real estate marketing past.The Yard Sign Lets Everybody A Home Is For SaleBack in the “caveman” times, real estate marketing was very simple. A sign was placed in the yard, knowing that people interested in homes for sale in tha...
