A young gentlemen was pre-approved.  While a small loan, it is significant for him since it is the very first house he has ever bought.  The closing date is on the back end of November's Ides... The supporting documentation was collected and the appraisal was ordered, yet over the weekend, he spoke to the Family Attorney.  Mr. Attorney recommended that he shop around.  Alas, the chap was "approved" at a local bank at an interest rate that was about a half percent lower than we quoted.  So, he went that way. Days later, meaning today, it so happens that the local bank turned him down.  While getting into specifics may be a bad thing, they low-balled a legitamate rate they could offer him and their debt ratio requirements are tighter than an amateur porn star's balloon knot.  (No, you did...

Tired of extending Sales Contracts? Disgruntled because of bait and switch interest rate and fees? Trepid because of the surprises that pop up like a flaring zit in your teenage years? Fed up with never getting a phone call or email back in a timely manner? We hear you here at Sardi Mortgage, Inc.  Now, while Sardi Mortgage, Inc isn't an actual operation... it is an actual human being.  I breathe air.  I breathe smoke (I know should quit, Mom).  And I breathe what's best for anyone who takes a chance on a guy like me. Let me tell a story and I'll try to make it brief.  I read too many posts bloviating about this and that and never really saying anything.  I don't desire this to be one of them. About two months ago I had a return customer come to me with a two-fold question.  The first o...

"The boss drives people; the leader coaches them. The boss depends on authority; the leader on good will. The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm. The boss says "I"; The leader says "WE". The boss fixes the blame for the breakdown; the leader fixes the breakdown. The boss says, "GO"; the leader says "LET'S GO!"- H. Gordon Selfridge    No need for my commentary; this quote says all that needs to be said.

    This week, we placed an offer on a home with the first Growth Leader Lead I met in person.  We did not get it, as our lowball offer was too low.  We are looking for more homes this weekend, that are priced a bit lower.  This will be my third house hunting trip with these buyers. Today, with the second Growth Leader Buyer I met in person, we placed a written offer, and after some negotiating, it was accepted!  Closing is in about 30 days from now! I have two additional sets of buyers from Growth Leader I have actually met and showed homes with.  Both are serious buyers, and preapproved and ready to buy. Growth Leader is very very good to me Don Bradbury

Sometimes the best laid plans go unplanned.  Before Jennifer moved in with me, she visited a few months earlier.  On our way to pick up some mundane cleaning supplies, we accidently came across The Allentown Farmer's Market.  Now, despite living here since the tender age of twenty-four, I'd never been there.  Okay, so I don't get out much. We decided to peruse this uncharted territory and had a freaking blast!  We both fell in love with the place.  We go there almost every week.  One place stood out above all the others.  Clover Farm's has a stand there selling some of the highest quality meats I've ever had a chance to chow down.  While I may not get out much, I've had my fair share of high quality cuisine, working at a few dining restaurants before entering the wonderful world of mort...

Some say Open Houses are a waste of time! I don't think so! Open Houses are a waste of time!  Oh Really? As a new agent some years ago, I was taught to do open houses.  They said it would get you leads.  Work them and they will pay off.  I don't do them myself, they said, but as a new agent, it will pay off for you. As time went along, I sat many an open house.  If the Philadelphia Eagles are on TV at the same time, perhaps it will not be a good open house.  If they play at night or on Monday night, then perhaps it will be good.  I've done them in snow storms, rain, cold and hot, sunny and cloudy.  I like them.  Some are slow, but some have really paid off. They don't help you sell the house, others say.  They are just good at letting the neighbors and tire kickers, look around and get ...
