I have found myself on hold with BofA quite frequently in the last 3 weeks.  Twice my hold has been under 10 minutes which has left me staring at the phone in awe but MOST TIMES, it's well over 30 minutes.  So, just for fun, here's some things to do while on hold with everyone's friend, BofA. Snooze. Eat your lunch. Take a poll around the office of how long i might be on hold this time.  Hand out prizes. Chair dance to the lively "hold" music. Talk back to the gal that... Read more

From Foreclosure Homes Investing, Yesterday, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Ok so we live in a PC world. I"ll tell you right now this is not a PC post unless you're referring to my computer.  This Green House thing is making me nuts. Oh yeah we have agents certified in "Green" homes but most people I've dealt with couldn't care less about a house being "green". Energy efficient windows and insulation sure..but totally GREEN!! In my humble opinion, the only one making money off Green Realty is John Edwards and the Global Warming crew. And I"m not even going there.... Read more

Are You Telling Your Clients How Great You Are' Got Buyer Presentation' Realtors are always trained to put together a good listing presentation. We are taught that listings are key are we need to have a good presentation to present to our possible seller clients.  I have to agree with this and spent a year on my listing presentation to perfect it. I am surprised however at how many agents don't put together a buyer presentation. I think it is just as important to have a buyer presentation... Read more

From Foreclosure Homes Investing, Yesterday, Read 0 times. Similar articles

I'm tired of that "F-R- Double E Spells FREE" credit report commercial!    Because what they are "hawkin' is NOT free! Thankfully, on March 3, 2010 the Federal Trade Commission file a revision to the Free Annual File Disclosure Rule to address the abuses and deceptive advertising for Free Credit Reports.  This was part of the new Credit Card Accountability and Responsibility Act 2009. The new disclosure is available now, but must be used after April 2, 2010, per the FTC... Read more

THE WHITE LIE -- EXACTLY WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE FROM A REGULAR LIE'

From Foreclosure Homes Investing, Yesterday, Read 0 times. Similar articles

A fellow emailed me about two weeks ago, and told me that he would like to visit with me about listing his house for sale.  He had picked me from an Internet ad. I sent him some information, even visited with him by telephone.  We set up the appointment for the morning time a few days later. So I prepared the Comparative Market Analysis, Listing Agreement, and other supporting materials, and the next morning I drove about twenty miles toward his home.  Just as I was turning onto...

From Foreclosure Homes Investing, Yesterday, Read 0 times. Similar articles

  This is as about elementary as it can get supply goes down and prices go up   A funny thing happened while I was doing a search for a client tonight. I plugged in their price range, deleted all short sales and hit enter. My first thought was "That can't be right".  I went back and re-checked the criteria. The client was looking for a town home or a single family home in Montgomery County priced somewhere between $300,000 and $325,000. There are only 69 listings that are... Read more
