So excited to welcome my afternoon visitor, a Great Blue Heron, who stopped by looking for afternoon snack in Trout Run, the stream that runs through my woods.  I was walking down the road and just glanced at the stream and there he was in all his glory.  Welcome Great Blue Heron on Trout Run Come back any time.  You are always welcome.  Thanks, Roy Kelley for suggestion to keep my camera (phone) handy all weekend.

Why does the lender make getting a mortgage loan so difficult? Well, the simpliest answer goes back to an old, old saying, 'He who has the gold make the rules.'  And just what are the lenders' rules?     As a Real Estate instructor for Alan Kells School of Real Estate I use the 'Lender's Triangle' to illustrate the three major requirements lenders analyze to determine the risk in making a loan. A borrower needs money for down payment and closing costs as well a job or source of income that provides you with ability to repay the loan.  Lastly, the lender will look at your credit score and total debt obiligations.  To learn more about financing your dream home contact your favorite Real Estate agent. Perhaps you are contemplating becoming a Real Estate agent and helping others buy their d...

Erie, Pennsylvania: Have You Completed 14 Hrs Real Estate Continuing Education? Fine:  $100 per missing hour = $1,400  I am sure that you will not be smiling if the Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission penalizes you $1,400 for not completing fourteen hours of continuing education. May 31, 2014 is the deadline for completing 14 hours of continuing education for renewal of Pennsylvania real estate broker and salesperson licenses.  Are you one of those procrastinators who wait until the last day and then scramble to beat the clock? Licensees can opt for live classes or online classes, but all continuing education classes must be approved by the Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission.  All new salespersons licensed after December 1, 2011 and November 30, 2013 must complete the mandated 7-hr 'ge...
