What You Need to Know About Short Sales September 29th, 2009 · If it seems like short sales have suddenly exploded in the real estate arena, it’s not your imagination. Once considered relatively rare, short sales have become a common phenomenon in the past 18 months, thanks in large part to the banking and mortgage crisis. To find out if you can benefit from a short sale, here’s some helpful information about the practice. What Is a Short Sale? Short sales occur when the bank and seller agree to a purchase price for real estate that is less than the original mortgage amount and does not cover the entire cost of the existing debt obligation. Who Benefits? Depending upon how the deal is structured, everyone can benefit from a short sale. The seller benefits from the ability to save his or her credit rating and avoid bankruptcy or face a mountain of debt, the buyer benefits from acquiring a property at below market price, and the lender benefits from a sure sale that reduces the risk of a...

Fran Campbell Team wants each of you to have a very safe and fun Labor Day weekend! Here are some great tips that all boaters, professional or novice, can appreciate. By law, a lifejacket must be available for each person in the boat. Make sure passengers know where those jackets are in case of an emergency. Know what each buoy marking means. Pay attention to the No Wake areas as many children and adults might be swimming in that area. Be aware of your surroundings and drive to the right side of the channel or cove, just as you would on the road. Have a plan mapped out in your head for emergencies before you go out on the water. The more prepared you are, the calmer you tend to be in those situations. Don't drink and drive. Remember that we are all responsible not only for the lives of those on our boats, but the lives of everyone on the Lake. The Water Patrol and the Coast Guard Auxiliary provide free inspections of boats. If you suspect a problem before getting in the water, call...

An excerpt from Unique Global Estates- 1980s….Simplicity is elegance….evolves into 2009: Frugal is the New Black…. I believe there is a cross over in these two statements. Consumers are spending, but their purchases are well researched and they are “shopping with their brains not their wallets” as was the case before the economic crisis hit. We are seeing this throughout the real estate industry. Location and price have never been as important. The new consumer knows how to drill the Internet to take advantage of the opportunity to compare prices, research comparables for amenities and familiarize themselves with the location and it’s history. Then, when satisfied that they are educated and informed, and feel that they are getting a “good deal” on pricing, they will get off the fence and make an offer to purchase. We also see that there is a trend leading to successful sales when the list price is low and creates a ‘feeding frenzy” of offers…. This indicates the consumers mindset, a “...

Begin to Set Personal Boundaries August 14th, 2009 Do you have a hard time standing up for yourself? Do you keep agreeing to do things that you really don’t want to do? Do you tolerate rude comments or pushy people because you can’t handle conflict? Do you take things personally? Life coach Cheryl Richardson says that creating stronger boundaries is the number one way for most women to improve their lives. Here she shows you how to stand up for yourself! Set personal boundaries and free yourself from the “disease to please” with these three steps! Step One: Self Awareness The first step in learning to set boundaries is self-awareness.

Another way to identify your boundaries is by completing these three sentences with at least 10 examples. People may not ___________. I have...
