Friday in Real Estate & Life!

Attended a very good Arlington Board of Realtors leaderships meeting yesterday in beautiful Granbury. There are, as seems to be the case in other fields I have participated in, probably 20% that will be involved in any way in their respective endeavors and maybe even less that desire to be involved through leadership. It's really sad that in something you've been given much most don't think it is important at all to give any back, even if it is only giving back some small amount through volunteer time or money donations. Mom always said better not do any complaining unless you've made an effort to change it.

Through leadership training we heard words such as cooperation, trust, being prepared, focus, culture, common objectives & goals to help unite behind a common direction. Forget for a minute that this was a leadership training, these philosophies are adequate, I suggest, in all of our ever day living! I do believe the Tea Party movement, as an example, is founded on this. I do know through reading history that those that have gone before us, when presented with the option put before them of freedom or losing it, did unite behind a common direction. 

Leadership training...good foundational teaching for everyone!

Friday real estate & stuff

The word "stuff" always reminds me of the comedian George Carlin's skit, "A place for your stuff" & that our homes are just a place for our stuff, basically a covering for our stuff, with locks so we can make sure no one comes in and gets our stuff.

Now, can we say "unclutter", a famous word in the marketing of homes. You know, it's what most of us Realtor's have in our own personal homes, clutter, but get after the seller's for having tooooo much stuff, clutter, in their homes. In reality, unless there's some major problem, like 28 year old shag carpet, it is probably the single most important thing a seller can do to make their home show better. Well, along with removing off the wall your framed 4th grade math paper because you got an A. 

I write this because, As Carlin points out, sometimes people have to get a bigger house so they can have more room for their STUFF and this topic will definitely come up...again!

Have a great weekend & don't forget to call or email me if you or someone you know is interested in selling, buying, leasing or all the above! Interest rates remain low and there are still great opportunities for you!

Texas First Time Homebuyer Program

Effective Nov. 1, 2010, the TDHCA reduced its interest rate on mortgage loans offered through its Texas First Time Homebuyer Program to its lowest levels ever, further opening the door to safe and responsible homeownership for qualifying low-to moderate-income Texans.

Interest rates on these 30-year, fixed rate mortgage loans have been set at either 4.20% (unassisted) or 4.95% (assisted), depending on which of two types of loans the borrower selects. Assisted loans offer downpayment and closing-cost assistance up to 5% of the mortgage amount.

To learn more about the program and eligibility requirements, please call or email me. I also work with several of the participating lenders that know and service these loan opportunities!
