I've gotten several calls this morning from people with frozen pipes. I thought that I would tell all of those who don't know about this in this frigid weather. In Mississippi, we're not used to this sort of thing and are not prepared. What most people don't know is that it is not enough to leave...

I saw some revealing information from Fairway Mortgage on a video today. Our 30 year conventional rates are now floating around the 6.5% range. The only times in recent history(Since the '70s) that they have been lower was during the crash of 2008 (Brought on by crazy lending practices and an ove...

There is a 1700 square foot minimum as opposed to a 1500 Square foot minimum. Most of these homes will be 1750-1900 sq ftIt is showing people w...

We have been through quite the turmoil lately, with skyrocketing prices and higher interest rates and of course bidding wars. Buyers were spoiled by super low interest rates.

In this market, it's important for buyers to trust their Realtor to guide them to their best offer for their dream home. Too low and you don't get the house, too high and you're upside down. I've heard the comment before, "I know what it will appraise for" The truth is nobody knows exactly what a...

I sold a great solid home yesterday to some wonderful buyers. They had lost 2 homes before due to bidding wars. This is something that every buyer today fears and hates. People are going so far as to take out the appraisal and/or the inspection contingencies to get their offer accepted (Not advis...

This is an extremely popular flooring, especially in new construction and remodels. Many times, it's referred to as "LVP". There are many qualities available at different prices. The chief differences are the weight, the durability, the warranty and moisture resistance. The upper qualities are wa...

Why is it that some homes sell in hours for thousands over list and others don't. Well, back in the old days, when I was first licensed, we were told that it was either price, location or condition. Many things have changed but some haven't.The seller should want to buyer to be motivated to move ...
