Tonight I’d planned on blogging about a great new listing I just picked up over the weekend, but before I even had the chance, it’s sold! I knew it’d be a quick one, but it’s always a surprise when you sell a home in just 3 days. Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR. We had 2 couples […]
Whew!
April 14, 2008 by
Well, if you’ve noticed my lack of posts lately, you’ve probably wondered if I fell into a pit somewhere. Actually, that’s exactly what happened. I fell into the same pit that so many of my clients do. Yep, you guessed it… I moved. I’ve spend the past week or so in moving hell, and it’s […]
Mortgage Update from Cody McCollom
April 9, 2008 by
As rapidly as things are moving and changing in the mortgage industry, I’m relying heavily on my trusted mortgage advisors these days; moreso than in months past, simply because keeping up with the changes truly is a full-time job and, obviously, my full-time job is selling homes, not mortgages. I recently got an update from Cody […]

Going, Going, Gone
March 28, 2008 by
“Going, Going, Gone” is the tune to new regulations set forth by the mortgage industry. As of the end of March 2008, mortgage insurance companies have changed their standards for insuring conventional loans. They will no longer insure loans over 97% Loan To Value and many are making changes to their acceptable Debt Ratio requirements. For the […]
Edmond Home Buyers – Better to Rent or Buy?
March 24, 2008 by
Yep, it’s pretty much an age-old question that’s asked all the time. Why should I buy a home instead of renting? After several years in this business, and owning a few homes of my own, I’ve got all kinds of examples of why it’s better for most people to own, rather than to rent. You’ll […]
Should I Keep My Closing Documents?
March 18, 2008 by
When you close on a home, you get a wonderful gift at the closing table. A big fat folder full of documents that most people don’t understand and, frankly, don’t want to understand. The question often comes up, ‘what do I do with these’ or ‘do I have to keep these somewhere safe?’ Sounds familiar […]
TIME Magazine Gets it Right!!
March 6, 2008 by
You know me, I’m always looking for new ways to explain the whys & why-nots of real estate, and at times it gets just plain tiring. Sometimes, the tiring part comes from trying to put together an illustration that’s easy to understand and makes sense. Other times it comes from watching folks trying so hard to time […]
You'll Get a DEAL If You Buy Without an Agent!
March 3, 2008 by
Yep, it’s true. You’ll get a deal if you just go it alone. Why hire an agent to represent you? What could possibly go wrong? After all, they’re just overpaid taxicab drivers anyway! Check out this blog to see what I’m talking about. You see, it’s true. You’ll get a DEAL! Question is, what kind of deal? […]
Oklahoma Tornadoes – Fear Them?
February 29, 2008 by
There’s one topic that always seems to be hot in the minds of anyone looking to move to Oklahoma. Maybe it starts when we’re kids, watching the classic ‘Wizard of Oz‘ or maybe it’s the images on the news, and the unknown that fosters the fear. Whatever the cause, it seems that almost every buyer I’ve ever […]
