Here is today’s list of top real estate posts of the day.
1) How screwed up is Bank of America? – The stories on the banks messing up on these foreclosures seem to be never stopping. Here is another one where the bank decided to foreclose on a house and take the goods inside. Even though they were not the lien holder on the house.
2) Will Getting A Loan Modification Hurt Your Credit Score? – Foreclosures and short sales are not the only thing that can damage your credit. Loan mods could have a negative impact too.
3) Use your Business Cards Effectively: Direct People! – There is somewhat of a point to what he is saying, but that is easy to say for me and Josh Aberson, but if your name is Ruth Griffith or John Smith, it is a little harder. And I also want to make sure they know I am easily found on social media so I list all my social media platforms on the back. And if they are driving down the road and want to see a house, I want them to pull out my card and call me, not the agent on the sign so I make it easy. But I get his point.

5) Foreclosure Inventory Is Increasing – With numbers going up will banks slow down again on the number of foreclosures they do to keep inventory lower?
6) The Advantages of Presenting and Receiving Offers In Person – It is harder and harder to do these days with the amount of foreclosures, but that is a local thing.

9) 10 Commandments when preparing to apply for a mortgage. – Short and to the point, more people should listen to number 10.
10) Have you heard the one about the lawyer & the shark? – Lawyers and Realtors, she is right, we have so much in common. Both not held in the highest of regards, until you need us.
