    Wife needs to Sign at Closing? (Even if title/loan on husband name)

    If the wife will not be in town on the date of closing, you can set this up ahead of time with the escrow/title company. The spouse can sign an interspousal or quitclaim deed which will be recorded simultaneously with the the new note. Depending on the particular lender, they may make an...

    Buyer commission rebate and tax reporting

    I can answer this, but first: Are you in any way related to Nancy?   :P (Your bank records, once the rebate-check has cleared, should be sufficient)

    Realtor for Renting

    Vinster's post is a great suggestion. It's also part of the cause of the problems that peppy mentioned. Since anyone can now post unverified information, it's made zillow/trulia's info just slightly better than the garbage that craigslist has become. -IR2

    The Rise of Johns Creek, Georgia | Real Estate, Life Style, and Restaurants

    Welcome back James, Good to see you posting again and even better to hear that your business is doing well. I recall our visits when you were out here and getting you a meeting with the mayor and some of the other IHB folks at the time. Even back then you were very targeted on the demographics...

    Grrrrrr.. somebody or something swiped my packages!

    File a report with the police. We had IR2.1 and IR2.2's Halloween costumes stolen by some jackhole a few years ago from our old home. Kudos to the IPD in that they nabbed the guy who had been found to be following the FedEx trucks and stuffing his own stockings. As there was a timeliness...

    Anyone have the Fitbit, and if so, do you recommend it?

    I have one and love it. I opted for the HR version. Really interesting to track your resting HR, sleep patterns, and daily activity. It's gotten me to recognize that sitting at the computer and on the phone for 4 hours at a time setting up advertising, making appointments, and following up...

    Original IHB

    Welcome back, GITOC. I recall joining after getting called out on one of Larry's posts covering one of my listings. I found out that there was a "northirvinerealtor" (or maybe "nirvinerealtor"?) before me, so the greeting was none-to-warm. Fortunately, the tide turned after getting a daily...

    Flip or Flop

    Hello VA Investor, If you're looking for the auctions they are at a few different locations depending upon the lender, and date. Many/most are at the OC Courthouse in downtown Santa Ana in the mornings. Dates, times, and locations are publicly posted. P.S. I'd guess that asking Tarek for this...

    Dogs

    My dog is my first child, who came into our family before our two boys were born. She's a big dog (Weimaraner breed), nearly 15 years old now, and unfortunately her health is failing quickly and she's nearing the end of her stay on this earth. The old girl is wearing down and it's going to...

    Whatever happened to the IHB naysayers?

    Whatever happened to the IHB naysayers? They all got shiny new real estate licenses and are now selling homes themselves. -IR2

    Help: Floor plan choice

    Welcome to the site Boydorm, To answer your question: for resale value, the larger pool of buyers will typically pay more for 4 bedrooms and especially a first-floor bedroom, given all other variables remaining the same. AW, is correct, though... the most important vote is yours. Find your...

    Beacon Park

    A question to the 5P builders that lurk here on the blog: How many people do you think we usually have in the shower at one time? Those master bathroom shower sizes are out of control. -IR2

    Deposit

    If they've not made customizations to the home per your specs (added a bonus room, added a California Room, etc) then the return of your deposit should be straightforward. This would be one of the key questions to ask the builder (or any seller, for that matter) when putting the earnest money...

    Children Not Welcome at Greenwood

    Mrs. IR2 and I registered clients at Greenwood and brought IR2.1 and IR2.2 with us at their opening weekend. We must have gotten in under the radar because my boys had a blast at the park. -IR2
