Good Monday morning to you!

Texas Ranch Roundup

One of the finest traditions our community has is the Texas Ranch Roundup. This 2 day event allows us all to revisit the historical ranching heritage of Texas and the true working cowboy. This event will be August 20-21 @ MPEC. I have 2 tickets that I'm going to give away. All you have to do is email me Ashton@BishopRealtors.com with Ranch Roundup in the subject line and attach your Name, Number and Address. Good luck! For ticket information call the K.Y.C. box office at (940)716-5555 or www.wfmpec.com.

Foreclosure Answers

Today, nearly 1 out of every 6 homeowners in America is behind on mortgage payments. These are tough and frustrating times. Now more than ever, it's important to identify your options. Foreclosure can be avoided, your credit can be saved, and your financial future can be salvaged. Through my experience handling distressed properties, I've found that homeowners today have more questions than answers about their circumstances. I have created this site, www.WichitaFallsShortSale.com,  to help you understand the possible solutions to foreclosure, as well as provide a detailed explanation of short sales, which may be the best course of action for some homeowners.

If there is anything else I can do for you or someone you may know this week, please let me know!

Make it a great week!

Good Monday morning to you!

Like I said last week, we are looking to add homes with pools to our inventory. If you or anyone you may know is looking to sell their home this summer (pool or no pool) please let us know. With 30 year fixed rate mortgages under 5%, this summer should be a great market!

I have also said that this is the best inventory of homes we've ever had-and the truth endures. See http://www.texomahomesource.com/Properties for every home we have available at this time.

Good Monday morning to you!

The heat has arrived. We broke the 100 degree mark last week, and it looks like its here to stay. If you or someone you know is looking to sell their home that has a pool, please let me know . We have had quite a few people looking for homes with pools, and the market inventory is quite low. See www.TexomaHomeValue.com where I can give you an idea of what your home may bring at this time.

___________________________________________________________________

Our current inventory is one of the best I've ever seen.

See http://www.texomahomesource.com/Properties for everything we have on the market.

Also, see www.TheFallsHomeFinder.com to view everything the market has available.

Myth Buster:

Myth: Seller Financing is no longer allowed in Texas

Fact: Seller financing is still allowed in virtually all real estate transactions.

However, as of May 31, 2010, if a seller is financing a one-to-four-family residential transaction other than his primary homestead or a sale to a family member, he must be licensed as a residential mortgage loan originator (RMLO). In other words, transactions involving investment property, second homes, and vacation homes require licensure as a RMLO.
