Good Friday Morning In Kentlands We had just a dusting of overnight snow. Good day to take a walk through the neighborhood. I like to have my camera in hand when I walk during daylight hours. The colors of winter change every day and you never know what you will find when you take notice of the common things that we normally pass without notice. Find one leaf that captures the colors of the season and you day will be better. I used my Canon PowerShot G11 camera for these photographs. The location is the neo-traditional community of Kentlands in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Life is very good in Montgomery County!

Where are the lists of Maryland trustee sales? The attorney for a new Montgomery County, MD real estate investor had advised him to look into the opportunities to purchase foreclosures at the area trustee sales. The investor asked me how to find the lists and how to learn about the procedures. We receive many calls asking about trustee sales since we have represented foreclosure buyers for many years. These are the foreclosure auctions that take place at the court house entrance in each of the Maryland counties. Most of the real estate investors that track trustee sales use the following websites that provide information on the majority of the sales in the Maryland suburbs of Washington DC. Some trustees handle their own sales or use different auction companies.  Alex Cooper Auctioneers...

Afternoon color on an icy Tuesday in Kentlands We had overnight snow and a thick layer of ice on everything this morning in Kentlands. I had to skip my morning walk through the neighborhood. At this time of the year, the challenge is to capture the colors of winter.  Have your camera in hand for walks through your community to photograph those special moments. Don't miss the small things that we sometimes pass without notice. I used my Canon PowerShot G11 camera for these photographs. The location is Kentlands in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Mold inspections conflict of interests This question involves a prospective listing of an estate property when discussing the property with the attorney and the heirs. The home has mold issues and will need inspections and remediation. Evidently, someone had recommended a single company for the inspections and remediation. One of the heirs asked if that was a conflict of interest. How would you answer the question? It is not unusual for a single company to be used for inspections and mold remediation. However, this practice could invite fraud, higher prices and undesirable results. The safe recommendation is to have separate companies for the inspections and the remediation. Even when the real estate professional is totally confident in the honesty and quality of service offered, the cl...

I will appreciate your answers to this problem which is a new one for me.  The colors of winter in Maryland. Life is good!

Where do you get free credit reports? One of our clients asked us where to get free credit reports. They had received a promotional advertisement for "free" credit reports but were afraid that it might be a scam. I recalled a December blog by Conrad Chee, a mortgage loan officer in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in which he made recommendations to members of ActiveRain.  Conrad reminded us that credit and identify theft is costing consumers millions of dollars each year and that a regular check up of our credit is just as important as a regular visit to our dentist. Some commercials promote free credit reports but are really making a hard selling effort to have consumers sign up for costly credit monitoring and other services. Conrad recommends an annual credit check up. Since the three...
