Veterans Day and Veterans Financing

11-12-08
Stephen D White, E-Pro, ABR Cape Cod Realtor®

Veterans Day has come and gone. It was celebrated yesterday and helps all Americans remember their veterans of all service branches and families for all of their sacrifices.

I talked with a Mortgage consultant today who told me that there is 100% financing currently available for veterans, and spouses of service members killed on active duty who have their proof of service- a DD 214, and who have at least a 680 credit score. Right now a fixed rate of 6.25% for 30 years is available (so no your rate wont go up) and no down payment needed. You dont have to be a first-time Homebuyer! Check out the link at

10-31-08
Stephen D White, E-Pro, ABR Cape Cod Realtor®

Well the Listing Router was put out this week by AR to help agents capture leads from their 7 Million a month web visitors to their own IDX- Internet Data Exchange links/ websites to help turn leads into clients. After reading a few posts from AR agents about the Listing Router there a quite a few of you who dont have IDX with which to capture leads! I do, and Im using it as my current Listing Router on AR and here it is!

Listingware is a third party IDX provider which offers:

  • Listing Enhancements- Classic or brand new 5.0 Layout, Virtual & Photo Tours, Open Houses features, & Showcases for listings.

 

  • Customizable IDX Setup- you choose whether your clients will have to register, when and how. You choose sorting order of your listings- for example- less expensive first or last. Your listings and your Broker's listings can come first. You can also elect not to show addresses of properties if not your listing. Your photo and contact info will appear on all listings in your IDX!

 

  • Complete website options if needed. I currently have my own website so I only use their IDX registration page which is framed into my page on my Search MLS on my website. Take a look!

 

  • Lead Capture and Contact Manager as well as Lead Distribution for brokers to give to agents. You can export contacts into a database or elsewhere (Excel) for a mailing!

 

  • Dyna Map features for listings

 

  • And more!!

Popcorn Ceilings with or without Asbestos

09-10-08
Stephen D White, E-Pro, ABR Cape Cod Realtor®

I've been wondering if any agents here on AR have had popcorn ceilings experience that had been tested by a lab or home inspector for Asbestos. I understand that not all popcorn ceilings have asbestos. Evidently they were very popular back in the 60's and 70's!

 Here's an article about popcorn ceilings, how to test them for asbestos, and how to remove at:

If a ceiling does contain Asbestos, removal can be very messy and a lot of work!

Happy Independence Day!!

07-02-08
Stephen D White, E-Pro, ABR Cape Cod Realtor®

Happy 4th of July. This year its a long three day holiday starting this friday with parades, fireworks and neighborhood parties here on the Cape. Its sure to be a very busy weekend with a lot of people coming to the Cape to celebrate our country's anniversary of signing of the Declaration of Independence from England in 1776!

Did you know that in 1776 the Declaration of Independence was initially signed on July 2 by John Hancock the presiding officer and Charles Thompson the secretary. The rest of the needed signatures would have to wait. Two days later Congress approved a revised version and ordered it be printed and distributed to the states and military officers. Hence our celebration on the 4th!
