It’s Really S0 Simple
The challenge is to change the way sales are done, after centuries of doing it the wrong way. The reason is very simple, because when the market is good, sales techniques go out the window.
First comes integrity, then comes a positive attitude and then comes the belief that a sale is done by fulfilling the needs of the customer. Not by price, but by actually helping them accomplish THEIR goals. This intern will help you reach your goals.
FLOWER MOUND, Texas — It has the makings of a tall tale: A man finds a two-story, 3,250-square-foot house worth $340,000 in a Dallas suburb and pays only $15 for it.
Kenneth T. Robinson, 50, who sells vitamins and other dietary supplements for a marketing company, laid claim to the 1997-built house in Flower Mound under Texas’ obscure “adverse possession” law — commonly known as “squatter’s rights.”
Looks like lending tree is suing zillow over several patents lending tree is claiming violated. The lawsuit is going to be seeking lost profits and looking to do a trail.

Yes, with all the stimulus happening from the bill that came through congress people didn’t notice this one as much. The Cash for Clunkers program goes after appliances this time, but will be done on the state level with money from the federal government. That’s right, each state has been allocated a portion of the $300 million dollars for this program and you can see how much each state got from the this list. Looks like Illinois is going to get $12.3 million dollars and people will get credits any where from $50 to $200 by trading in older appliances for more energy efficient appliances.
Speaking of energy efficient items, have you hear about GREEN MORTGAGES? Check out that previous blog post to hear all about them.
According to this article I found below from cbsnews.com 1 in 4 people with mortgages are underwater. So that means they owe more then what the house is worth. Should people be worried…..I say no! If you call your house a home and plan on living there for some time, then you have nothing to worry about as long as you are in a home you love and able to afford the payment each month. If you are in a house that you needed to sell now or in 3 to 5 years from now……yes this might be an issue for you. Hope this article you find helpful

Five ways to prepare for higher mortgage rates:
1. If you’re buying, don’t borrow as much as lenders will allow you to have.
2. If you have a variable-rate mortgage, where costs rise along with your lender’s prime rate, set your payments higher than they need to be to create a cushion to absorb rate increases.
3. Make a lump-sum payment on your mortgage or increase your regular payments.
4. Find out what your mortgage balance will be on renewal and use an online mortgage calculator to project what your payments could be if you were to renew at higher rates.
5. Remember that higher mortgage costs will limit your ability to carry other debts.
