I met Aniee last year--she called on one of my listings, looking for something she could purchase as a lease-option.  I could tell right away she was a 'can-do' kind of a person, her enthusiasm and sparkle (yes, I said sparkle!) virtually crackles right through the phone when she's happy. Today she's not so happy--after over a year of painstakingly cleaning up a few minor credit issues, paying some things down or off, applying for CDC down payment assistance and attending the classes, having several offers fall through becasue the houses would not pass FHA or CDC inspections, AND after waiting six months to get an answer on our last offer--a short sale... after all that... Now, her mortgage broker says the only way she can get a loan is by coming up with 3.5% down on the house--the requ...

April 24, 2009 shall be etched in my mind!  That is the day that Outlook stopped and my technology work life became a nightmare.  As I had a Dell computer I called them first ... after (no kidding) about 12 hour on the phone with them over about 4 days Outlook was not restored; I had lost lost of my emails and lots of contact information but I was left with Incrediablemail and purchases "to fix everything" to the tune of about $450.  The dancing butler and Elvis voice made me crazy!!  I was  D O N E  with Dell told them never to call me again - I was not cursing, nor rude but definitely  D O N E  !!  Here is the weird part - my customer service rep was overly enthusiastic, "scary helpful" and called me for 5-6 more days repeatedly on my office & cell phones - this is after I forbade him...

"The purple wall needs to be painted!", Jan Whitlow, ASPM, IAHSP.  Although strong colors, purple even pink may be absolutely fine for living and your personalized decor' it is not right for selling.    "How we live on our Homes and how we Sell them are two different things.", according to Barb Schwarz, The Creator of Home Staging®.  During a sale a Home becomes a House and hence a commodity for sale - it has to be packaged properly and then marketed.   By neutralizing colors throughout the home it is proven you get more showings, more interest & more offers!!! One of the worse pitfalls in real estate listings today is leaving dated colors and old wallpaper in the home.  It draws attention to things the Seller may not like about the home, while 100% of their attention should be on what ...

Seriously--with Largo's down-payment assistance program, which gives qualified first-time homebuyers up to $35,000 in down payment assistance, if that were to be applied to one of the foreclosure or short sale homes available RIGHT NOW in Largo (tour a couple below), your mortgage payment would be in the ballpark of under $500, as shown below:      Purchase Data                                                     97% Loan  @ 6.000%       95% Loan            @ 6.000%  90% Loan @ 6.000% Purchase Price $100,000 $100,000 $100,000 $100,000 Downpayment $3,000 $5,000 $10,000 $20,000   Loan Amount $97,000 $95,000 $90,000 $80,000 Monthly Payments         Principal & Interest (360 Mos.) $582 $570 $540 $480 Estimated Mortgage Insurance $78 $62 $39 None Home Owner's Association Fees $0 $0 $0 $0   E...

  Today I made Active Rain the first thing I do instead of the last thing I think about before I drift off to sleep ... I have been so busy!  My Staging business is taking off resulting in no time to prepare for Christmas.  I have been running like road runner trying to get everything done.  I think I have achieved it!  Well, this is the day that we just say, "Well if I haven't done it by now it can wait."  OR "What I have forgotten is just that.  I will take care of it after Christmas." Our Christmas is a mix.  My father in law is in failing health and in the hospital.  This is the 3rd or 4th stay there since October.  He was always an active man, working 7 days a week but now is inactive; confined to a wheelchair.  I love this man; he has been like a father to me for 35 years.  I met ...

To my surprise & delight I logged on to Active Rain tonight and find myself a Featured Member!  WOW!!  Just a little blogging and see what you can do.  Thank you all who have read my blog, responded ... this is fun! It's been so hectic since Thanksgiving.  I am in the midst of several Staging Projects all at price points and Stages.  Some are starting, some have sold, are ending and some projects are holding their own! It's been a banner year for my business - many thanks to the following Real Estate Agents in Hillsborough, Pinellas & Pasco counties for growing my business.  I appreciate the faith you put in me and the fact that you allowed me to be my (imperfect) self and move forward in spite of myself!

Largo was named after Lake Largo which at the time was the largest lake in the area. Today, Lake Largo no longer exists as it was drained. Largo was originally settled by citrus farmers but a hard freeze in the early 1960's sestroyed many of the trees and the groves were sold off to developers who built homes for a growing population. Today, Largo is a community of more than 74,000 residents and is a little bigger then 16 square miles. It is the third largest city in Pinellas County. Largo is centrally located in Pinellas County. It is south of Clearwater and north of Seminole and Pinellas Park. It touches the Intracoastal on the southwest and Tampa Bay on the northeast. The city has lots of lakes, with the largest being Taylor Lake.   The contents of this posting are the property of Pa...
