Why is it taking so long for my house to sell? Many factors make a home sell quickly. It’s a process that’s almost like going to a job interview. One of the key dynamics to determine the amount of time it spends on the market is Presentation. In the world of real estate, presentation is a way of life. To the potential buyer, it's almost as important as location. As discriminating as buyers are in today's market, it's important to understand that many of them base their final decision upon how the home has been presented. The first thing the potential buyers note is your lawn. If your lawn is trimmed and well-nurtured, he will immediately sense a good impression about your home.

If you play games on your phone, tablet or computer than you are aware of just how commercial this endeavor has become. Remember the good ole’ days when a Nintendo connected to your TV set was all you needed for hours of fun? Well, things have changed a lot and today online gaming is all the rave. Today there are countless ways to spend your hard earned money when using the internet to compete with other cyber-gamers. You can buy extra “items” online to help you defeat your “enemy”, purchase cheat codes to become immortal and more. The question is, however, is it always clear when you are being charged real money to finally beat that dastardly dragon?  Lance Perkins doesn’t think so. Last December when he received his credit card bill he was shocked to see more than $7,600 dollars in c...

One of the worst things that can happen to a homeowner is losing their home. While no one ever intends to end up in foreclosure unexpected circumstances can happen to anyone and sometimes having their home foreclosed upon cannot be avoided. The state of Oregon has discovered a very creative way to help some its citizens avoid this tragic occurrence.  Back in 2010 Oregon was granted $220 million from the treasury Department as part of a federal program that was developed to assist states with high unemployment and/or steep declines in home value. The state decided to use a portion of this money to set up a loan refinancing program for homeowners that were underwater on their mortgages (owed more than their home was worth).  The idea was ingenious and proved to be a great success for all...
