Only Get Upset When It Can HelpPatricia Feager and Kathleen Daniels are hosting the March challenge, asking us to use critical thinking using original content. Think about a scenario that can march you into trouble. Please write about a scenario that has the potential to come up during a real estate transaction.  *Note the underlined links below to previous situations. When a situation is out of our control, getting upset is a total waste and...I don't do upset.Here's an example: Closing has to be delayed. The buyer and seller have arranged time off from work. It's the end of the month. Everyone is inconvenienced... from the lender to the title company, the agents to the clients, and all the others working on a transaction. That includes movers, family members, babysitters, employers, a...

Housing Stats: New Home Sales Financed by the FHA   The Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development Friday released New Residential Home Sales survey data for March 2010.  Below is a graph which illustrates how borrowers are financing their new home purchases. "FHA IS THE WAY" has been the motto of many a mortgage banker and broker since the collapse of the secondary mortgage market in 2007. Notice how FHA marketshare has grown since then...one might argue many of the first time home buyers who took advantage of the tax credit were able to do so primarily because of the FHA's programs.   FHA was created in 1934 to serve as an innovator in the mortgage market, to meet the needs of citizens otherwise underserved by the private sector, to stabilize local and regional ...

Well not exactly my kitchen, but I think I have eaten more meals in the Suburban House than in my own house or we did until last night. And we almost never get through a meal without seeing a friend or client. It’s just our favorite neighborhood deli and restaurant!  They make the best omelets (seems like about a dozen eggs), the best chopped salads, and have the best waitress, Mitzu, who knows that when I order a “chop chop” that’s not what it is called on the menu. It is an oriental chicken salad that is finely chopped. They make wonderful matzoh ball soup and sky-high corned beef sandwiches and one of the best steak subs around. If you still have room, their desserts are gorgeous. But look at what happened at 5:00 pm yesterday: Fire in storage building damages popular Pikesville rest...

The number one fear Americans have is public speaking.  Number two is Death!The first survey to point this out appeared in the October 7, 1973 issue of the Sunday Times of London. The findings have been verified by countless other surveys and studies in subsequent years. The Times survey found that 41% of the 3000 respondents listed "fear of public speaking" as their number one fear, while 19% listed "death." For the businessperson, either in a small company or a large corporation, the ability to speak coherently and persuasively is a vital skill, but this "fear of speaking" holds many otherwise competent people back. About two years ago I began doing seminars for the public about credit and finance.  As a Financial / Mortgage consultant, I had spent nine years just meeting one client a...

A couple of weeks ago I received this email (used with permission): Dear Mrs. Rome, I don't know if you remember me. My name is Kaliq Simms, and about six months ago, we happened to be getting gas at the same station on Reisterstown Rd. I recognized your name on your license plate. You had been the seller's realtor for a house we contemplated buying about six years ago when we were shopping for our current home. I was so impressed with your professionalism and great personality. We ended up buying another home (no fault of yours, of course), but I continued to visit your website periodically over the years, as I knew we would eventually want to sell our current starter home. Long story short, you gave me your number at the gas station that day and told me to call you when we decided to...

Zebulon Pike went to a lot of places in his life of soldiering and exploration around the start of the 19th century.  Pikesville was not one of them, but that didn't stop the folks in Maryland from naming their town after him. And even after decades in the Baltimore area, I can't tell you why they did.  But I can tell you about the things old Zebulon never saw in this suburban area that is defined by ZIP code 21208. Pikesville sits northwest of Baltimore City, and just about all of it is in Baltimore County.  Like many old areas, though, the city/county dividing line was drawn after the area grew up and so the line runs right through some properties.  Not long ago I sold a house on Seven Mile Lane that was Pikesville but also Baltimore City. What's even more interesting is that some hou...
