It is with great sadness that I read an artlcle this morning that a Greater Cleveland-Akron REALTOR, Andrew VonStein, was found dead in a vacant home he was selling yesterday. My heart goes out to the VonStein family, as well everyone who knew Andrew. The Portage County Sheriff's Office is investigating the death as a homicide. Andrew VonStein was an accomplished, long-time REALTOR and was active on on many local boards, charities and his local association, including serving as president of many of these institutions. Please review the NAR's REALTOR Safety page. Jane Peters on ActiveRain recently wrote a post about MyMoby.com as an additional safety tool for smart phones. I am installing MyMoby.com on my phone as just one of many safety practices I implement. Please pass this post along...

In the midst of a year-long battle to save their home of 18 years from foreclosure, the Baker family of Windham, Ohio made a pact: if they saved their home, they would plant a cherry blossom tree in the front yard. After Litton Loan Servicing first rejected a modification request and then a short sale offer from American Homeowner Preservation because it allowed the family to stay in their home with a five-year affordable lease and favorable option to repurchase, weeds were more likely to sprout instead of a cherry blossom. However, five days prior to the sheriff’s sale, Reuters’ financial blogger Felix Salmon publicized the Bakers’ plight, scolding Litton and their parent Goldman Sachs for opting to lose money by foreclosing and evicting the family rather than recovering more by appro...

IT'S EXTENDED - IT'S ALSO EXPANDED - YEAH! THE EXTENDED EXPANDED TAX CREDIT WAS SIGNED INTO LAW!!! YEAH SAYS EVERYONE... Wait just a minute.....what was that 'fine print'? Were we the conduit? Were the Realtors used for our mighty BIG push? What happens after April? Would we have created a 'minny bubble'? Won't this only work if home values remain 'under valued'? Won't this only work if the interest rates stay lower than 10 year norms? Are sellers starting to catch and keep their prices a little inflated because they know the buyer is getting a tax credit? What if, what if, what if.... Has anyone ever found out where the money for the tax credit is really coming from? Japan and China have bought treasury note totaling 560 and 467 BILLION respectively. When they want to cash in those not...

I can't tell you the number of loans that have been red flagged in the 11th hour, 24 hours before close. Lender says, everything will be alright, the underwriter is just pulling the credit one more time before they issue loan commitment - it's alright....I'll call you tomorrow with the good news! Next day the news isnt' so good and the damage control police have to be called in to try to save the deal. What part of 'Don't apply for credit cards, Don't charge credit cards, Don't make any sudden moves with credit, no major credit purchases - just lay low' UNTIL WE GET THE LOAN CLOSED - ISN'T IN PLAIN ENOUGH ENGLISH? How many times should we say it? How many times does a buyer have to hear it? 11TH HOUR, 4 transactions, 1. Buyer buys a Pedigree DOG for $1,000.00 and puts it on their credit...

Since everyone is talking Bail-outs, how about me? I'm concerned about my future too so what do I do - I work harder and smarter, that's my option. I specialize, downsize, qualify prospects more intelligently, make smarter decisions and listen better but is that enough? What about my bail out? I know that I'm "just a Realtor" But I"m a professional and on a different scale, I'm effected too. The difference is that every day I wake up - I'm unemployed. I don't make a living unless I successfully close a transaction and even after everything is perfect, the short sale, foreclosure or REO might still not close or it can come back to haunt us costing more time and at the end of the day, time is money. My 401K and SEP IRA are down substantially, not to mentione the overall number of transact...

Creative marketing in Real Estate is one of many reasons why I love to be a Realtor(R). We are lucky to live in the era of Internet. All my clients who sell the houses in Cleveland area are big fans of single property web sites, listings on the map, little videos created for their condominiums and houses for sale, listings on Craigslist and many other entertaining yet very useful marketing tools which we use today to attract qualified buyers to our listings. Maybe that's the reason why they chose working with Web literate Real Estate agent. Let me share with you one more creation which I did couple months ago for potential buyers who want to relocate to Aurora, OH. I've just started exploring the possibilities of Smilebox.

There are many amazing things about Aurora, OH. I love its old world, vintage, rural charm mixed with comfort of sophisticated new constructions. Aurora is known for its elegant country club life style, golf courses, comfortable Inns, spas. Upscale gated communities of Barrington, waterfront life at Hawthorne of Aurora or Lakes of Aurora, incredible Walden Farms  - each community of Aurora, OH has its own character and attractiveness. Aurora is also famous for its shopping. Favorite shopping place for many Clevelanders is Aurora Outlets. Located just on Rt. 43, this plaza is for fans of Saks Fifth Avenue, Ralph Lauren, Ann Taylor, and other famous retailers. It's a beautiful place for just walking around the big pond, having fine food, meeting with friends.   I did my last minute New Ye...
