    Top 10 Relocation responsibilities for Buyer's Agents.   Here are the a few things I have learned from experience and training that are crucial to the relocation process.   Pay attention to the situation. Time lines are too tight for dropping the ball. Keep a close eye on the relocating family. These are stressful and exciting times for them. You are their voice of reason and guiding light. You must be very flexible. Things can change with travel plans very quickly. Make as much information available as possible. They are not familiar with the area and need to know what facts will impact their lifestyle when they move. Keep a good line of communication open with the relocation company, and the transferee's new company. Everyone must be working towards a smooth transaction. Closing t...

A short sale is defined as the sale of a home in which the proceeds fall short of what the owner still owes.  Lenders will agree to accept the proceeds of a short sale and forgive the rest of what is owed on the mortgage when the owner cannot make the mortgage payments. By accepting a short sale, the lender can avoid a foreclosure and the owner is able to pay off the loan for less than what he owes. Why do the lenders do this? Because lenders will lose more if the property goes into foreclosure. There are three stages in the foreclosure process. They are pre-foreclosure, foreclosure and post– foreclosure.  The pre-foreclosure stage is the only stage where a seller wants to be.  With the help of a Realtor that is trained in short sales, the homeowner will be able to purchase another prop...

VILLAGES AT MARY'S CREEK located in the heart of Pearland, The Villages at Mary's Creek is a small gated community with homes built by Wilshire and Meritage.

LOCAL PEARLAND REALTOR WITNESSES GRASS FIRE FIRST HAND   Yikes, I was traveling home yesterday and noticed the news copters flying overhead. As I drove closer to MY HOME, they were very close above. So I decided to keep going to find out what was happening. As I drove closer I noticed a fire was going on and I could not tell where it was coming from. I turned into Canterbury Park and at the back of the subdivision, the large field was completly engulfed in flames. So I decided to keep driving closer and drove to the back of the subdivision where the fire trucks were connected to the fire hydrants. According to the news station, over 14 acres of the field were burned and 25 homes were evacuated. No one was hurt and no homes caught on fire.   www.MyPearlandRealtor.com www.MyPearlandMLS.co...
