Why would a seller who has received multiple offers, choose an offer that is $5000 less than another one?  No need to speculate. The listing agent sent me a text. ...we felt like your contract was clean and simple and she liked your note about the couple :) The note she referred to was the email ...

Life changes.  Sometimes what seemed like a must have a few years ago is now something of no value to you anymore. I have a seller who has spent the last 13 years adding all sorts of fine details to his home because in his mind it was going to be the last home he ever owned, so why not enjoy the ...

Have you ever wondered why banks seem to "lose" your documents so much?  Is it just due to sloppiness on their part or is there actually something more to it? They wouldn't actually be lying to you, would they?  They wouldn't actually train their employees to lie about not receiving documents, wo...

I was curious to see just how low mortgage rates are now in a historical perspective.  What were interest rates like over the last 100 plus years?  The Freddie Mac data only goes back to 1971, But doing a little searching I came up with the book A History of Interest Rates which had a nice table ...

Like they say, you can't please all the people all the time. I couldn't believe the story I heard on the radio news this morning.  People actually sent emails into The State Road and Tollway Authority saying that they didn't think it was a good idea for the toll booth to be taken down on Georgia ...

Google keeps trying to make their search results better.  They just released a change called Penguin 2.0 to combat webspam.  Matt Cutts goes over the details in this video. Sometimes it takes a week or two to see how things finally settle out so it should be interesting to see what happens.

OK. It's a bit of crude humor, but it made me laugh. Whoever came up with the ad should get  a huge bonus.  I didn't even think KMart was in business anymore.  I think it might make it OK for the younger crowd to feel better about walking into a KMart.  It also made me remember being a kid and be...
