Does anybody know exactly what the new Truth in Lending regulations are.  I keep hearing rumors and I have seen a few items in print but it all just seems crazy to me. Exactly what is the government doing?  I do not see how any of the new regulations help anybody.  It seems to only add to the fru...

I need some help from my fellow agents.  I know there are regulations preventing builders from offering incentives to buyers for using their lender versus another lender but what about bank owned properties?  Is there any law or regulation that addresses this issue?

Thankfully the Federal Trade Commission has issued a statement that they are cracking down and investigating many of the so called get rich schemes.  This includes the ones that promise people they can get rich buying and selling real estate without using their own money.

I wrote a blog many moons ago about real estate agent photos.  The photos I am referring to are the ones that agents put on their businees cards or mailers. (not photos such as you find on social sites like this one). I recently saw a photo of an agent that I knew and I called her to tell her the...

I am assuming that everybody else is like me in that your clients are probably calling like crazy every time they announce a new federal program to help people purchase homes.  Tax credit, tax credit as down payment, first time home buyer program, tax credit for any home buyer, etc. The more info...

I will keep this quick and simple.  Here is your chance to provide input (that will actually get consideration) on what you would like to see from a real estate company as an agent.  I own my own company and I am always looking at ways to make it better for my agents.  I wish you all could come w...
