Top 10 real estate posts of the day for 12/11/2009

1) The New & Improved HUD-1 and why it’s a good thing for home buyers – Good write up by Dru. The part that worries me for consumers is the new GFE, not sure from what I have heard it is really good for the consumer. More to come on that soon.

2) Mortgage Rates Hit Rock Bottom – Agree, if you have not locked, get to it because what are the chances it goes down from here vs going up.

3) Awesome clients deserve awesome listing photos – This is the place I really plan on spending money next year, making sure I have professional photos to sell those houses.

4) Realtor Jane Doe, RIP – Really? NAR amends their trademark policy to allow the Realtor logo to be used on gravestones?

5) Dumbest Real Estate Questions of the Year – Now for something completely different…

6) Working Phoenix Short Sales – Be Smart – I have one right now that this post reminds me of. Walking a fine balance between pushing to get it done before buyer walks and not being so pushy they push us to the bottom of the pile.

7) Are You a Provider? – Sure this seems obvious when you read it, but sometimes you need someone to put it into words to make sure everyone gets it.

8) Taking Green to Another Level With DocuSign Electronic Signature – When I use Docusign I never think, this is for the environment. I always think this is easier, keeps the contract cleaner, saves me time and keeps less paper off my desk. Now if you want to think of it as saving the environment then its just one more reason to use the kick ass product.

9) Short Sales Are About Patience! (Unless You’re Lucky) – Short sales and patience, he talks about it from the sellers end, my short sales requires patience video this last week was from the buyers side.
