The Big Announcement: In Santee, The ReMax By the Lake is taking down their ReMax sign and putting up AgentOwned Realty. We are very excited to have The ReMax team join our AgentOwned Family. Their 8 agents will join our 3 agents --- AgentOwned will close its current location and move down the street to the ReMax office --- it is larger and better suited for our office. It is a part of the Preferred Group just as Manning is. The Manning agents are very excited to welcome the "former ReMax" agents to their family.
The new news ---Granite counter tops in homes could be a problem --- see
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/07/25/earlyshow/health/main4292754.shtml
EPA is saying that all homes should be checked for Radon especially if the house has granite counter tops ---We should begin to tell buyers to have this test done. Please check out the web site above. Thanks for Billie Jo for this helpful information.
Good Information to know: Jimmy Foti of Weeks, Foti, Irvine & Donaldson Law Firm, writes: "Read the announcement when you have a chance if you didn't already knowabout it. In essence, if you sell via a short sale, you will not be able to get a conforming loan for 2 years. No exceptions. This became effective on August 1. It is better than foreclosure and deed in lieu....but it is not something your agents should advise people to do."
Focus Group today: I had asked that you bring a listing and the group would offer suggestions to get it sold. The meeting went really well and I believe that the agents got a lot of good ideas and suggestions as how to get their particular listing sold. Those present were: Nancy Wilson, Michael Culp, Neil Schneider, John Kennington, Summer Eubanks, Becky Hayward, Bill Knight, Ken Kurtz, Brianna Harmon, Susie Schumm, Greaton Sellers, Bambi Magraw and Chari Karinshak.
Closings today: IOP --- Chuck & Edy Mimms --- used Residential Mortgage and our attorney -- Yeah!!!!
By the way, Tyler Bergin's listing downtown on East Bay has been chosen for the Symphony Designer House of 2009 ---- Congratulations, Tyler. That should get that property sold!!!
In the office today in addition to those at Focus Group: Currie McCullough, Tyler Bergin, Tim Rogers, Susan Bryant, Joe Eddleman, Stan Huff, Jason Ogdon, Kay Kennerty, and Art Cope (by the way, Art is sporting a new convertible - go Art! How do you fit those 5 children in?)
Listings, BC Sales and LS --- Will catch up on those tomorrow.
Until later ------------
