Here is today’s list of top real estate posts of the day.
1) HUD May Limit SELLER FINANCING! – It is time to let your voice be heard before the feds make another big mistake in the housing industry.
2) Valid Electronic Contracts: Consent to do Business with eSignature – Glad to have this so I can point it to some agents who have no clue, yes believe it or not they are out there.
3) Drop The Motive! Step Away From The Consumer! – What are the motives you have when you talk to people? Are they just another deal?
4) How You Can Get The Most Accurate, Real-Time Mortgage Rate Quotes Available – It is something I work on educating clients with all the time. That 3.975% you saw in the add or the 4.60 you saw in the paper are unlikely to be real. To many factors go into an interest rate to make one number work for everyone. And if it was real, it has likely changed 6 times since then.
5) Q & A with Morgan Carey (Real Estate Webmasters) about Indexable IDX – Indexable IDX results, do they hurt you? Do they help you? If you are not having some sort of indexed results on your blog you are missing out, but that is ok, us who are will just keep enjoying the benefits.
6) Brokerage replaces 176 sales agents – Now we are talking about some RTB’ing. Grubb & Ellis terminates 176 agents who are not meeting sales goals that Grubb & Ellis set.
7) NRVLiving – Real Estate. Simplified. – Quick video well done on how interest rates move and work.
8) Rent/Buy Worksheet from Inman Column – Very detailed worksheet if you are wondering if you should buy or rent right now? This will help you decide.
9) Handling Multiple Offers in Today’s Market – A very good analysis on a subject that comes up a lot today, what do I do when there are multiple offers on the table.
10) Treasury Proposes Plan to Help Borrowers – Why do I feel like we get beat over the head twice a week with a new federal plan that is going to save the housing market. Wasn’t it about a year ago that Obama stood less than 1.5 miles from where I am typing this now and said he was going to help 4million homeowners over the next year? How did that turn out, something like 160,000 helped. So hang onto your wallets as they keep rolling out these plans to help the market.
